MEAT QUESTION IN SELMA

Selma. November 21.-(Specian.-T thirteenth annual convention of the Dal- las County Sunday School association con vened in it's second days session this morning at the First Baptist church. The convention at it's initial meeting yester- day morning was called to order by G. F. Warner, a member of the executive | committee, and w. T. Atkins was unani- mously elected president Miss Esther Tavel was elected secretary and treasur- CT, and Miss Edith Rice statistical secre- tary. II. $. D. Mallory was elected chair man of the executive committee.
 It was decided to make every effort to place the Dallas county association back to the standard of few years past. Head quarters have been opened in the Gilman building, and during the absence of the president from the city, the secretary will be found in the headquarters at all times. There were twenty-one Sunday schools out of the thirty-six in the county represent ed when the convention was called to or der yesterday. Since that time several other delegates have come in, and thirty schools were represented before the ad- journment tonight.
 This afternoon Rev. A A. Little ad- dressed the convention. Last night Judge Carthel, state secretary, addressed tine convention on the state work, and was followed by Miss Minnie Kennedy, who spoke on the Primary Work" Miss Ken nedy being state superintendent of the primary department.
 President Atkins last night spoke on the need of cheap Bibles within easy access of the people He read postal cards from twelve counties in Central Alabama, show ing that there were no Bibles on sale in those counties within reach of the poor people Steps will be taken to end this condition and to provide Bibles for every body who may want them.

No Outside Markets.

In the Mayors court this morning Will Avery, a negro, was before His Honor, charged with violation of the market reg uations, and of the meat inspection law. There were two charges in each case. The cases grow out of an effort to make a test case of the city's right to forbid the sale of fresh meat within the police jurisdiction of the city, except at the city markets. Avery was fined $50 in each of the two cases for violating the market regulations, and $25 for violating the meat inspection law. Appeals were taken in all three cases, $500 bonds being given.
 The Mayor instructed the chief of police to station an officer at the door of the market and with every piece of meat sold pending the final settlement of the case, to arrest the offender and carry him to the council chamber, requiring bond. The decision to try and further sell meat at the market which had been established near the Estelle cotton mills was thereupon abandoned. It is not ex- pected that the higher courts will declare the lower courts decision void.

HILL ON STAND TELLS OF
 GRAIN ELEVATOR SYSTEM

Minnea polls, Minn. November 21.-James J Hill, president of the Great Northern and head of the Hill system,H the Great Northern. Northern Pacific and Buring- ton roads, was the first witness today when Commissioners Lane and Prouty of the interstate commerce commission be- gan their inquiry into the relations which exist between the railroad companies and the grain companies in the northwest
 Commissioners Charles A. Prouty and Franklin K. Lane personally conducted the hearing though several of the attor- neys of different grain interests particl- pated in the questioning.
 MT. Hill proved to be willing witness. His answers were given to all questions without hesitation. On the specific sub- ject of grain elevators, MT. Hill testi- fled:
 Yes, 1t is our rule to permit anyone to erect elevators at stations of our road on the right of way. We now make our contracts. however, not transferable, as we have found instances where such ap- plications were not made in good faith and afterwards sold at good figure. We have found trouble in keeping elevators from combining and sometimes in tracing down applications for elevator sites. have found different applicants to really rep resent one interest. When we have found objectionable elevator combines we have sometimes built elevators of our own and placed some man in charge. In such iG- stances the combines have tried to freeze our man out.
 ''l think il is A great detriment to busi- ness that we cannot control the unloading of grain" said Mr Hill. "I think it is the best thing for d railroad 10 have it's

, own terminal elevators. unload into them and include the charge for so doing m the freight rate"
 MT. Hill thought the present legal method of handling grain Is wrong and tha the farmer is too much the victim of the speculator He said every receiving elevator should devote itself to simply that business; that the operating in grain should be a separate business.
 Mir Hill told how he happened to build q Buffalo terminal elevator the largest in the world, costing sl, ,2OOOOO. He said:
 Along our line and up to Buffalo we wera able to keep good track of grain we shippes because 1t went in our own cars and m ships manned by our own crews and owned by us. But in one single in- stance there was reported to me q ship load which when weighed at Buffalo was 25G0 bushels short Soon after that we built the elevator at Buffalo. At that time the stock of the Buffalo elevator pool was selling q 500 They charged 1A cents for unloading and II cent for shoveling. We included in addition. insurance. and charged for everything but 1a cent per bushel, a saving to the grain shippers of 1 cent bushel When we handled 100,- o0o,o0D bushels a year this meant a saving of sl.000o0 q year. We don't own the elevator now, but the elevator charge. however, is still kept down 10 F cent per bushel."
 "Mr. Hill. do you own any elevator stock whatever"
 No. sir l do not. want to say that no man in The Great Northern road can own any stock in Anything along the line of the road. If he does. he must leave my employ. even if he were my own son"
 Do you favor federal inspection of grain?' asked one of the commissioners
 Decidedly, l do,' replied Mr. Hill, though the change would not affect ns'

switched over into taste ana dress in

The Americans are living too much

we need is a sense of form. 1t is some
thing that is very scarce among Ameri-
can people; it is the rarest sense there
is in this country
Just look at the way women walk on
the street and stage. The wiggling
swaying movements have made them the
ridcule Of Europe. English, French, and
German women walk with some dignity,
but the young American women have a
glide and wiggle that is ungraceful and
