ALABAMA GINNERIES
MORE THAN a.OOO EXIST IN THE
 STATE.
They Are Required To Make weekly Reporis After the Beginning of Cotton SeasOn to Director
 Seymour.

There are more than $500 ginneries operated in the State. That is the fact shown by the list of ginneries compiled by Director W. fl. Seymour of the Ala bama Bureau of Cotton Statistics. The list contains the locations of the ginner- ies and the names and addresses of their owners. and will be used by the Bureau in collecting statistics for week
 ly reports O. cotton gInned in Ala bama.
 The ginners will be furnished with copies of the law creating and regulat- ing the conduct of the Bureau and with suitable stationary and with post age stamps. Every ginner is required to make reports of cotton ginned dur
 Ing weeks ending Saturdays and mail the reports to the Director not later than noon Mondays foll wing. The
 Director must compile and publish the total reports not later tl.an wednes- days following.
 The Director is required to give bond
 in the sum of $5.0o0 for the perform
 ance of his duties. Operators of gin- nerfes are liable to fine for failure to
 comply with the laws requirements. Director Seymour said yesterday he
 believed the Bureau would be the most
 efficient fin the country. and that it
 would afford prompt. complete and &C., curate information of the ginning of | cotton in Alabama. He expects the first weekly report will be made by the Bureau in the early part of September. MT. Seymour has received several encouragin letters from Director North of the Federal Census Bureau at Wash ington. and will soon go 10 Washington to confer with him about the work of | the Alabama Bureau of Cotton Statis- l tics. He said that the establishment of similar bureaus was being made by | other States.
 The bill by which the Alabama Bu- | reau was created. was prepared by MT. | Seymour, and its exact imitation by a | member of the South Carolina Legisla-
 ture is high compliment to the Di- rector. Two bills to create Bureau | of Cotton Statistics for South Caroline
 were recently prepared for introduction | into the Legislature. A copy of Mir. l Seymour's measure was selected as the | bill to be considered.

figured in history under the name or Sehoy. General Woodward, who knew her and the family, however. said that she was woman of the Tuskegee tripe, and woman of exceptional force ana intelligence.
 weatherford was born in Montgom- cry County between Pickett Springs and the Upper Coosada Ferry. AS young man he was distinguished for ms excellence in hunting and in all games and sports. Because of his light nalr and blond complexion. he was called Billy Larned," or Yellow Billy" The Indians also called him in their tongue "The Truth Teller" a nar;e that white men who knew him said was well de- served
 The Creek war in which Weather ford figured so extensively was result of the policy of the British during the war of 1S12-1s15 of melting the In- dians against the Americans wherever 1t was possible to do SO. The Creeks were ready to make war against the whites in Alabama on account of their encroachments and the British agents found willing listeners in the Creek Indians Tecumseh, who was also born in Alabama was sent from Ohio to ms mothers people to incite them to the struggle.
 weatherford was one of the chiefs who declined to take his talk" and as a result he was charged with coward ice by the other chiefs. It is written of him that he stepped into the middle of the council when Black Warrior an
 Indian Chief, gave voice to this charge, and said.
 "I am Red Eagle If any among you | think that wear the white feather let | him step forward and try to pull IL | out If the war does come I will oe | found fighting by those who speak the 1 tongue of my mother and not with my | fathers people" | After his surrender to General Jack 1 son. weatherford had at first to be | closely guarded, for fear he would be | killed by some Alabama settler who
 lost his loved ones In the massacre of l Fort Mims.
 There Is tradition in the Weather
 ford family that Jackson took him to
 his Tennessee home. The Hermitage, | and after keeping him as a guest gave | him a magnificent horse on which to
 ride back to Alabama. But history
 does not record such an incident. It is | known, however, that Old Hickory
 held the Alabama Chief in the highest | esteem and was his friend until his | death. weatherford retired to his pfanta-
 tion on Little River where his family | now lives and lived the life of g | wealthy farmer. He owned wide | stretches of land and many negro
 slaves. He died in 1924 from over-ex-
 ertion brought on by a bear hunt. He
 is buried in the yard of his old home near Little River.

 by Judge Sayre.

By mutual agreement mandamus pro- ceedings which were to have been heard yesterday before Judge Sayre, to compel the City Council of Mont gomery to proceed at once to elect a Police Commission, were deferred until May I.
 The postponement was requested by attorneys in the case in the belief that the City Council will take some action In the matter at the next meeting, which will take place on the evening of May 5.
 It has been understood injunction proceedings would be brought to test the right of the police commissioners to act, under the State law of four years ago, but they have not yet been begun.
 Judge Sayre yesterday took up the motion docket and heard motions for new trials in four cases and rendered the following opinions:
 J. c. Conner vs. City Council of Montgomery; overruled. Conner had obtained judgment against the city for $500 for personal injuries sustained by falling into a ditch.
 Sam Wright vs. Montgomery Trac- tion Company: motion for new trial was granted. The plaintiff had re- ceived a verdict for personal injuries of s150 and considering this was not enough asked for the new trial which was granted.
 J. w. Kelly vs. Mrs. Ellen c. Dex- ter; motion overruled.
 Allen Linton vs Seth Johnson: mo- tion was heard and taken under con- sideration. Suit for breach of war ranty.

Tough. Over a Woman.

New York, March 21!-Two
brothers, who loved the same woman,
tonight With knives and clubs in an
East Side saloon early Tuesday until
both we're 80 desperately injured
that they probably will die. The
men are George and Giovanni Fran
cesco, who came to America from
Palermo about two years ago. There
they had both been rivals for the
hand of the same girl, who eventu.
ally accepted George, the elder, and
they were married shortly before the
trio came to New York. Mo- long
after their arrival George began to
neglect his wife and at length she
left him. When the brothers met in
the East Side saloon to-day Giovanni
upbraided George for his treatment
of the young wife and admitted that
be (the younger brother) still loved
the woman.
Instantly the brothers closed in a
fierce struggle, which ended in the
hallway, where they were found un-
conscious by a policeman. Georges
head had been crushed by a blow,
and the younger man had a deep
knife wound in the abdomen.

Dear Sir: There's twice as much horse
in one horse-it may be a mare-as there
Ia in two or three others together.
SO with paints, too. If a painter can do
your job with 10 gallons Devoe for $50;
it'll take IL, 15 or 20 of other paints; and
the cost Of q job is about $5 a gallon,
whatever the paint may be.
There are painte adulterated three
quarters--only n quart of paint in a
g~allon-he's got to paint four gallons of
rubbish to get one gallon of paint. The
worst horse you've got is as good as that
paint, and he'll go as far.
The less-gallons paint is the paint, as
the most-horse horse is the horse.
Yours truly,

Goldberg has been employed as

thought to have gone to Savannah,
where he doubtless took boat. He
is at home equally in any portion of
