What they call the Williamson corn
method has been introduced up in Ala
bama and 1T is creating genuine en-
thusiasm among the farmers. Mr..
Williamson, its author, found himself
getting poorer and poorer every year,
although ne was working hard, and he
invariably came out in debt at the
end of each season. He was a read
ing and observing and thinking man
and he put his thinking cap on with
the result that he evolved a system
of corn culture that has doubled his
yield of corn and enabled him to
make his farm profitable. Other
farmers have adopted his plan with
similar good results and the William
son method promises to spread all
over the, country The Journal hopes
in a few days to publish in full de-
tail the process by which Mr.. Will
hanson has wrought such revolution

HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL.
Birmingham, Ala, Ledger.


There have been sent out from this

prohibition is failure here That is
distinctly untrue. Prohibition has
been very highly successful There is

there are fewer liquor crimes than
ever before, and decided and most
welcome falling off in all crime ex
cept small theftS, which will continue
as long as we have thousands of idle
people who crowd into novels and do
not work.
hibition has been accomplished. Wo-
men can go on the streets without the
fear of pistol bullets, or insults from
drunken men. The whole moral at
mosphere is decidedly clearer. We
are gradually working the worst ele-
ment out of the control of our politics
and those who voted for prohibition
TO get these things are satisfied.
Some good people are BABY upset
because men can get liquor, but the
vast majority of those who voted for
prohibition expected that. Men al
ways will make whisky, sell whisky
and drink whisky. Those who voted
for prohibition to get better condi
ton feel and know that we have a
better condition
So far from being a failure, prohi-
bition has been wonderfully success
full, far more so than most of us
hoped for the first year.

RAPID GROWTH
CLOSE ATTENTION TO DETAIL
HAS MADE THIS CONCERN
VERY SUCCESSFUL.

Notwithstanding the supposed busi-
ness depression during the past year.
Mr.. Joel Frater, president of the joel
Frater Lumber company. when seen
by a Journal representative yester-
day at their Baylen STREET wharf Of
fee, had this to say:
I'VE have been compelled this year
to fairly triple our capacity by putting
in one of the very latest and most
improved large machines for dress
ing lumber it was possible for us to
obtain. The able corps or assistants
and myself have given every order
personal and impartial attention, and
our growing trade is the result Of
our ability to fill orders promptly and
to the letter"
Mr.. Frater's personal experience
covers a period of dozen or so years
from the log TO the finished product.
The growth of the Joel Frater COM
pany bespeaks well of the opportuni-
ties in This section of the state ever
open to those who know how to meet
orders in the best possible manner.

Eight fast driving autoists with
their machines lined up in front of
the police station this morning and
when arraigned before his honor,
Judge Fitz Gerald, all repentantly
plead guilty to the charges against
them. Because it was their first ap-
pearance in court and because Of
their previous good regulations the
members of the delegation were al
lowed to go without being penalized.
Those in the auto brigade which
formed this morning were W. P.
Temple, Walter Mccormack, DR.
w. G. Cole, w. H. Mccormack,
Samuel Thompson. Louis Hagen, Dr.
L. X. Blakeslee and Elmer Snyder
They had all been requested by Chief
of Police Gurdane to be present at
2 O'Clock. 1t is understood that 9TH
ers would have been included also
had the police been able to see them.
None of those up this morning
were charged with breaking the speed
law at any particular time, but rath-
er with violating the ordinance in
general. The ordinance prohibits
running an auto within the city at a
greater speed than eight miles an
hour, pace that would be slow
compared with the usual Pendleton
automobile gait.
When the bunch plead guilty this
morning Judge Fitz Gerald address,
ed them briefly upon the perlls of
fast travelling within the city and
warned them that should fatal ac-
cident occur as a result of reckless
ness on the part of one of them the
man would face charge of man.
Under the city ordinance fine Of
$50 or 10 days in Jail may be i'm
posed for speeding within the city.

Hartman Forces in Complete Con-
troll Of Illinois Central Today.
Chicago, Mar. 2.-As a result OF
the recent decision Of Judge Farlin
Q. Ball. allowing the voting of prox-
les controlled by p H. Hartman, the
latter has won a complete victory
over Stuyvesant Fish in the long bat
tie for the control of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad, which eliminates to-
day in the adjourned annual meet
ing of the stockholders Of the COM
pany.
This turn of affairs means that at
today's meeting the Hartman can
didates for directors will be seated;
that Mr.. Fish will no longer have a
dominating influence in the affairs
of the company, and that later, when
the officers of the road are chosen,
j. 7. Harahan will be continued as
president.
In the Illinois Central meetings in
the last six months, the Union Pa
cific party has been restrained by
temporary injunction from voting
one-third Of the ss5,OOO.0OO capital
stock of the company which II held.
With this stock excluded Stuyvesant
Fish and his associates had no
chance. They showed at all the re-
cent meetings as much stock as was
voted for the Hartman faction the
corporations holdings.
