mise of Victory in Market.
NEW PLAN NOT PRACHCED

Association tobacco viii begin TO
come to the prizing houses after the
holidays" was the confident state
ment OF Salesman Veale yesterday,
"and it viii be only a short while
until the tobacco controlled by the
organization viii be offered for sale
IN the salesroOms. The farmers are
IN position to pool their tobacco,
even II no. advances are made, but
assurance has come from headquar-
ters that money win be procured
shortly for all needs"
III Is admitted that the only thing
that could possibly cause a failure Of
the association 10 control the market
would be the inability TO get ad-
vances OF money to enable the farmer
to hold his tobacco on the market
until spring and the time is so short
now that they can AFFORD to walt.
"But few Instances OF dumping
have been reported and I am conf
deaf that the fa-mers have the situa-
ton well In hand"
Mr.. Veale Is Of me opinion that the
foreign buyers VIII be CAD 20 get the
tobacco al association prices as soon
as 90 Is ready for the market.
A majority Of the farmers have not
delivered any tobacco to the pricing
houses. but have awaited develop
ments In the financial situation. Some
disappointment VIII be caused by a
failure 20 get money In time for
Christmas. but e Is argued that there
are few farmers really in need OF
money. as at this particular season
they have surplus OF other crops for
sale.
Discussing the proposed now meth
cd Of delivering tobacco to the priz-
Ing houses on the stalk before tt ~
stripped. a farmer yesterday vas of
the opinion that the plan is a good
one. but In this district there will be
little delivered in that form this year.
While waiting for other matters TO
develop the farmers have had ample
opportunity to strip and prepare their
tobacco for the market al their barns
This will also serve 20 expedite mat
tiers. when they begin to bring their
tobacco to the pricing houses, as the
crcp will be bulked on brakes ready
for hauling 60 the prizers. BY this
means e Is expected that the crop
VIA be on The market almost as early
this season as last. though the start
has been delayed.
Big Deliveries Today.
Probably the largest delivery Of to-
bacoo this season was made at Padu-
cab today. as wagons heavily loaded
with the product have been pourins
into the city since early morning.
The prices received are up to the
average OF last week and most of the
tobacco had been contracted for be-
fore Il Is brought in to the city,
though n small amount is sold from
the wagon at prices equal to that
bought by the buyers agents in the
country. Another big delivery is ex-
peeted tomorrow and Saturday which
Is the last day before the holidays
that tobacco will be received.

BOUNDARY LINES
FOR new SCHOOLS
MUST BE- SETTLED
Franklin and jefferson Build
ings Will Be Affected by
Laying Out Two New Dis
tricts on the North and South
Sides-Change in January.
PASS PAYROLL FRIDAY NIGHT

Pupils OF the public schools will be
assigned to their proper buildings
under the reassignment of boundaries
the third week in January, which Is
the one following the examinations
for the term. They will receive slips,
containing directions, when they are
given their promotion cards.
Examinations close on Wednesday
and the last three days of the week
will be devoted to removing seats
from the old Longfellow building and
placing them in the Rowlandtown
school. preparatory for the opening
of the new building the Monday fol-
lowing.
1t is probable that the Franklin
and Mckinley buildings and the
Washington building will not be
affected by the reassignment Of boun-
daries, but Jefferson building on the
north side and the Lee building on
the south side will be relieved by the
change.
The Jefferson school boundary as
tentatively settled Will be between
Broadway and Clay streets, Tenth
street and the river, giving the Row
landtown school all north of Clay
street.
The Twelfth and Jackson streets
building may serve that territory
lying between Broadway and Norton
street west of Eighth street, includ-
ing all of Worten's addition. That
would limit the Franklin building to
the territory between Broadway and
Norton street. Eighth street and the
river Now the .iorth boundary Of
the Franklin district Is Washington
street.

TOBACCO CHEWING
 RAT LATEST FIND
EXPERTS EXPRESS OPINION THAT BIRMINGHAM HAS AT LAST PRO- DUcED SOMETHING THAT AT. LANTA CANNOT DUPLICATE.

A tobacco chewing rat is the latest find in mingham-somethlng that At lanta has never had or the knowledge of the general public and an animal that exists alone in Birmingham. Experts in the art of tobacco chewing are studying the habits of this rat with view to capturing it, forwarding 1t to some scien- tst and securing from him an opinion as to just what peculiar species of rodant this is.
 There is some difference in opinion as to the ability of the rat to expectorate with sufficient accuracy to hit crack in the wall, as the farmers and loafers around the country stories in novels are able to do, but all agree that the rat ac- tually expectorates. Evidence of that can be found on the floor of the building oc- cupied by the rat.
 The marvellous discovery that is ex- pected to astonish two hemispheres, elec- 'traify the scientific world and perform a few other stunts was made yesterday morning at certain large wholesale gro- cery store which is situated on the south east corner of First avenue and Eigh- lctillu street. IHe udIndBe u HuI0DeT or rats had done to some paper sacks and other things around the store was being discussed, when one of the stock men ex- ploded the tobacco chewing rat story on the other employees of the firm. Proof was demanded and tue entire conclave repaired to the abode of MT. Rat, and witnessed the tobacco chewing feat, con- sidered more wonderful than Kilpatrck's s riding down the west steps of the capitol at Washington more than ten years ago.
