WHAT HAS BECOME
OF THE WILD DUCK?
Jacksonville Times-Union.

There was a time when the ducks
came to Florida in great fiocks that
covered our lakes and tide waters.
They have practically disappeared.
A hint of their fate is afforded in the
following from the Springfield Republi-
can:
Duck shooting is now in progress
along the coast and by the lakes, and
we are told that the ''ducking stands
on the ponds and lakes of Cape Cod
have been doing a brisk business. 1t
is not with unmixed pleasure that
one reads of a man in Holbrook who
has so far brought down about lib
black ducks. The slaughter gives the
birds mighty little chance. The gun
ners are now in wait for the wild
geese, and the wonder is that any
game fowl survive the peril that
awaits them all along the shore and
the land.
Where our birds come to us across
the continent we must accept their
extinction with what philosophy we
can muster-ws cannot avert their
fate The wild pigeons are no more
not a pair can be found On our conti-
nent. Who can doubt That the wild
ducks must soon travel the same
road. The wild geese are going
IL Is probable tndJ All our migratory
birds on this continent of which food
can be expected will soon be extermi-
mated Why Is it not possible that
the insects have multiplied as the
birds grow scarce?
But something we can do and should
do for our own protection-we can
spare the birds that remain with us
all the year and hope that their in
crease will Offset the destruction of
their kindred. Thousands of birds
were driven to sea by the forest fires
of the year-ships report that land
birds were seen many miles from
shore and some fell on the decks
gasping as if suffocated by the smoke
while others were seen on the water.
What sort of world will this be when
the birds have departed? Why should
not every citizen do what he can to
save them? Any bird is better than
none-almost we could find it in our
hearts TO beg for the preservation OF
those considered our enemies and de-
spoilers. Better we should lose much
grain and fruit rather than the air
be empty of its natural visitors.

"A Very Important
Convention.


The best wishes of all the people OF
the Southern states barring the negll
gible few who are on the bear side OF
the market. will be with President
Barrett and the Farmers Union in
heir convention which meets in New
Orleans Wednesday to see If some
steps cannot be taken to restore the
price of cotton to a figure that Will
fnake the present crop SeasOnabdy
profitably to the producer.
Mr.. Barrett's call for the conven'
tion is very strong document and
with the Union controlling so per cent
of the crop it would seem not impos-
sible to devise some policy to secure
tht desired end. Mr.. Barrett says:
The sole excuse now standing be-
tween fair prices and the South's cot
ton. is the belief of spinners that they
will be able to obtain the staple at
their own figures. In this belief they
have been aided by exchange manipu
aators. whose efforts have been TO
show that the cotton belt would make
@ record breaking yield. AS a matter
of fact, we who are in most intimate
touch with the situation know there Is
not the slightest ground for such an
opinion.
If it be a fact that the crop will be
much smaller this year than last, as
Mr. Barrett confidently asserts, then
manipulation must have interfered
with the just operation of the law OF
supply and demand to have forced
the price down, and to neutralize the
effect of that manipulation will be
the problem for the New Orleans con-
vention to solve. To this end Mr..
Barrett says:
81 invite the cooperation of busi-
ness man, manufacturer, professional
man, banker and wage-earner In the
South ] urge them to be present per
sonaIly. | urge on commercial bodies,
chambers of commerce, boards OF
trade and labor organizations to send
Representatives to this convention.
1--WE are going TO adopt extraordi-
nary measures to meet extraordinary
conditions. That fact is settled. With
the active help and counsel of the
business men of the South, the sue
cess OF our plan, and the prosperity
of the entire section is assured be-
yond peradventure.
How to control the price of cotton
is one of the deepest economic ques-
lions of the time and the answer has
thus far eluded the Southern farmer.
II the New Orleans convention shall
furnish that answer it will be of in
scaleulable benefit TO this section and
will help every interest in the South
as well as the farmer.

A CHANCE FOR
UNMARRIED WOMEN
New Orleans States.


Every woman who lives anywhere
in the United States and is unmarried
has only herself TO blame. She has
merely to go to Australia to have her
choice of quarter million bachelors.
That is the number OF white men in
the land of the bushmen in excess OF
white women and the demand for
wives is perennial. Indeed, so insist
ent is the call for helpmeets that lead
ing Australians are urging England to
send English women TO the colony
from the mother country" by ship
loads. The promoters of this whole
sale matrimonial enterprise explain it
is impracticable for the men OF Aus
tralia TO leave their business long
enough TO return TO England and do
their wooing there. So, as the mas
culine mountain can not go TO Miss
Mahomet, it behooves her, say public
spirited Australians, to go TO the
mountain.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS.

a timely suggestion relative to coun-
ty agricultural schools, and urges the
people of this county to take the mat
ter up with a view to getting such an
institution for Gadsden. AS our cor
respondent properly says, agriculture
is the greatest of all calllngs. Our
young men ought not only to be i'm
bued with its dignity and Importance,
but they should be taught something
of its chemical and scientific side.
Let them understand that it is no less
a profession than the law, medicine,
or the ministry, and that 1t offers just
as great a scope for the profitable en-
ployment of skill and intelligence as
any other calling i'm the world. And
finally. let us teach them that In point
of nobility, independence, cleanliness
of living, purity of citizenship, general
moral and physical healthfulness, hap
piness, goodness and contentment it
is second to no vocation on earth. OF
recent years there has been marked
tendency on the part of our young men
to leave the rural districts and drift
to the larger towns and cities. We
regard this as one of the greatest ca
lamities that could have bafallen our
southern country. No section can at
tain to its highest and best degree
or development and prosperity with
its landlords living in the cities and
its farms abandoned to shiftless,
slipshod tenant system. That is a
proposition too patent to require argu-
ment. And it is leaving its impress
upon the citizenship of the country
just as Enthusiastically as it is upon the
physical face of our farms and fields.
We are losing the conservative bal
ancing power in our national life and
policy that we used to get from the
farms We shall have to get back to
those times If we are ever again to
have anything like uniform and we'll
balanced progress, prosperity and hap
pinesF. And the very best way to do
this is to stimulate and encourage our
boys to stay on the farms. and re-
claim and develop the waste places of
our common country.

ENCOUNTERED
A HURRICANE
Norwegian Steamer Thelna
Arrives in Mobile After
Terrible Experience.
soesIar to The Journal

Mobile, Nov. Shattered and torn
from the effects of West Indian hur-
ricane, her master reporting one of
the severesr tests In his career as a
navigator and her crew aged by the
terrible ordeal through which they
had passed, the Norwegian steamship
Thelma of the United States Steam
ship Company feet, crept to her dock
here yesterday from Colon, Panama.
With part of her rigging torn away
and twisted, spars damaged and the
lee rail carried away, the Thelma bore
every evidence of the tempestuous eX-
perience through which she had pass
ed in a battle with wind and wave.
Although it was the last voyage of
Captain Kampfjord as master of the
Thelma it served to impress wildly
upon his mind an experience which
called forth every ability he pos
sessed as a navigator and. the seaman
ship of his petty officers and crew.
Captain Kampfjord told in his own
way his experience with the hurri-
cane.
On the morning of October 16 the
wind freshened until when off the
coast of st. Andrews Islands it had
developed into a full fiedged West
India, or tropical hurricane. As the
hours passed the wind and waves
grew in fierceness- BY night fall it
had gained a velocity that BODIED the
ship no good.
Throughout the night and until al
most midday of the following day the
Thelma laid to, her engines going full
speed ahead, plunging into seas that
swept her from stem to stern. At
times her crew were forced below
decks and in the fire room assisting
in keeping a full head of steam. The
heavy deck load of lumber, though
securely dashed down, caused the
Thelma to roll and toss upon the crest
OF mighty waves and then plunge
downward, only to be swept from
stem to stern by a wall of water. At
times there were doubts as to whether
she would meet the onslaught of an
other giant wave safely.
When morning dawned on the 18th
the Thelma was still plunging and
careening in the troughs OF the
mighty seas. The wind showed no
abating and to tighten her up some
of the cargo was jettisoned. Then
came lnll in the wind, the seas be-
gan to subside and under full speed
of her engines the Thelma forged
ahead and the course was changed
for her original destination, Colon,
Panama. She arrived there without
further mishap.
After a survey the Thelma will be
locked here for repairD.

PENSACOLA FLORIDA TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER

thus hailed before the court of public
opinion and placed under an injurious
impucation it is only fair that its side
of the case shall be given equal pub
licity. In its issue of November 5th
a. has this to say on the subject:
The Manufacturers Record has for
many years carried on a bureau of in
formation for Southern development
which has involved the annual expendi
ture of many thousands of dollars in
distributing every year several hun
dred thousand pamphlets, leaflets and
other printed matter about the South.
This ONCE, which has been the center
OF such activity for nearly quarter of
a century, probably does nearly as
much in this lane as all the railroads
in the South combined Many PAM
phlets issued by US have been reprint
ed in French and German and distribu-
ted all over Europe
In carrying on this work the Manu-
facturers' Record has often invited
and secured the cooperation of rail-
roads, bankers and other interested in
every phase of Southern upbuilding
This work is simply a part of what the
Manufacturers Record has for so
many years been enthusiastically
uOlnS LOT the SOutl 3 upDmiQtnS. 1t
has resulted in the distribution in the
aggregate OF many millions of pieces
OF literature about the South In this
work, and because of the large. inter-
ests that many of the most prominent
men of the country have in vast rail-
road. mineral and agricultural develop
ments in the South, they have joined
in this campaign of spreading broad
cast facts about the South. They were
anxious to upbuild the country in
which they were investing so many
millions, and SO they Joined in the
work. We could spend ten times as
much in such a campaign, and wish
the people interested in the South
would go in on a scale commensurate
with the. yastness of its opportunities,
for the held for Southern upbuilding
is limitless in its potentialities. That
this has in any way whatever involved
any obligation on the part of the
Manufacturers Record to favor any
policy of any subscriber or any adyer-
tiser or anybody else is absurd to
every man who knows its work. The
Manufacturers Record has its own
convictions and dares to express them.
