j. c. Mccormack, the Clifford /
mining district, was in town Friday
ON business, and states that the
Broken Hills property is looking bet
ter all the time. Mr.. Mccormack Is
having extensive milling tests and
assays made of the ore from the
Broken Hills, and from other prop
critics in that district which are show
ing good ore, with view of having
a mill built at Clifford. These tests
are for the purpose of ascertaining
the exact equipment necessary to
handle the Clifford district ores, as
Mr.. Mccormack does not believe in
first constructing the mill and then
trying to find out what is needed.
The mill will be of fifty tons per day
capacity, as the first units of plant,
which will be built SO that it can be
enlarged as needed, and will consist,
beside the stamps, of amalgamation,
concentration and cyanide plants.
1t is believed that the mill will be in
operation inside of four months.
Plans are about completed for a wa
ter supply for the mill and the town
of Clifford.
At present the Broken Hills COM
pany is paying something in the
neighborhood of $500 per day for
hauling and shipping ore, and for
milling charges upon the same. And
at that, but high grade ore is being
shipped, of course. Low grade ore is
left alone in the mine, where pos
sible, but operations necessitate that
much low grade milling but moi
shipping ore-be taken out ant
dumped for the present With the
saving of this $500 per day shipping
and milling charge, and the ability t.
mill all the low grade ore as well
which mill at the mine would eff
feet, it can easily be seen that com
plete mill would soon pay for itself
In addition, a mill on the groun'
would greatly facilitate the develop
ment of the entire Clifford district

President Harvte Jordan. of the Southern Cotton Association, has perfected all local ar- engagements for the big mass meeting at Memphis in response to numerous requests from all parts of the South. that such a conference be called at the earliest possible date. The business men of Memphis in all lines of trade, promptly rallied to the call to aid In bringing about higher prices for cot ton and will do all in their power to make the coming conference a notable success in every particular. While all preliminary arrangements have been perfected at Memphis the ultimate re- suits of the convention and the imme- diate effect on prices will depend upon the interest taken in the coming con- ference by the great masses of the people in the whole cotton belt
 Each State in the cotton belt should send from 800 to 1000 delegates to this convention.
 Farmers. bankers. merchants. gin- ners and others should show their in- terest by going to Memphis on Mo- Yember 10, and seeing that a large and influential delegation from each cotton growing county in the South is present.

BY ROBERT M. RAwLs.

At Belle Nina, Limestone county, Ala. a station on the Southern Rail road, seven miles east of Decatur. stands fine old brick mansion, built in colonial style of architecture, with thick walls. large halls. commanding apartments, and projecting porticos whose roof is supported by a row of tall and massive round columns. The name of Belle Nina was first given to the house. This ancient landmark was the home of Alabama's first Gov ernor, Thomas Bibb. Ands not only does 1t mark the place of that digni- tary's residence bat also the local ity In which the landed estates of three of Alabama's Governors unite: Governors Blob, Lewis and Houston The, land on which these distinguished Alabamians put the seal of their pro- prietorshp is Indeed fair to look upon. with It's level fields. vast in ex- tent. and it's beautiful woodlands, rich In giant trees. lying in the famous fertile Tennessee valley, with numer- ous sparkling creeks. refreshing 1t with their waters
 The old mansion which still stands In solitary grandeur. to remind the passing generations of the good old times before the war" was built by Governor Bibb soon after the admis- sion of Alabama to the Union. He acquired q large tract of government land here in 1918. but at first made his home in Huntsville. where he had a residence.
 In the year of 1924 he began the erection of this home at Belle Nina, and 1t took two years for its comple- ton. How was 1t possible in those days Of primitive lack of all conven-

The price of spot cotton can be advanced 10 10 cents and above with the proper cooperative efforts on the part of the farmers and allied business interests m the South. No active campaign in behalf of advancing the price of cot ton to reasonable fair levels has ever been made in the past few years which has not been attended with results satisfactory to the masses of the peo- pie. and the same success ran again be secured if the people will rally to the call of the Memphis Conference.
 If the Memphis meeting is a success and prices are advanced 1t will do more to check the present efforts to. force the closing down of gins by people who are willing to resort to force rather than submit to the con- nscation of their cotton at artificiaily and unfairly depressed prices. Hun dreds of notices to close down ginner- les have recently been posted all over the South and in the States of Texas, Oklahoma. Arkansas and Alabama press dispatches state that actual burn- Ing of ginneries and cotton have oc- cured within the past ten days. The situation is daily growing more seri- ous and the time has come for the whole country to meet in a great mass meeting 10 QeIeHus thc SICdt SNdpi0 crop of the South from the uuholy warfare directed against 1t by foreign federated interests and solve the prob lem of securing better prices by sound business methods.

History of the Christmas Stamp.

In 1904, in Denmark, the govern
ment issued a Christmas Stamp, with
the kings head and the word Jul"
the same as our "Yule'' on 1t. II was
not GOOD for postage, only as a
"sticlper" for Christmas letters, post
cards and packages. The proceeds
from II were to go toward building a
tuberculosis hospital for the children.
II succeeded beyond all expectation,
four million being sold at an oere, or
half-a-cent a piece. Denmark has
continued 1t since to maintain tuber-
culosis work, and the sale in the ma
tive land of Hans Christian Anderson
has doubled each year.
Why the Red Cross Issued the Stamp.
America needs such a stamp but
her postofiice officials cannot issue or
handle it under the present postal
laws; and a special act of Congress
would be necessary. Jacob Refs,
himself a Dane, wrote an eloquent
article, published in the Outlook of
July 1907, urging government ac-
ton in the matter, but there were toe
many difficulties in the way. II seem
ed hopeless to try, but at this juno
ton the Red Cross. which exists for
Just such emergencies, took 1t up.

one of crisis in the war against con-
sumption. Each state needs educa-
ton and awakening in the subject,
and money for the work. The Red
Cross. therefore, with the approval of
the postal authorities, took up the
Christmas Stamp last Christmas, and
tried 1t in one state.

where the Christmas stamp started.

Where the Christmas Stamp Started.
This was the little state of Della
ware-very small, very conservative,
not given to enthusiasm, and having
only few shacks In woodland
meadow near Wilmington as a tuber-
culosis hospital. The state as a
whole was ignorant and unlnterested
on the subject. yet the stamp, printed
and put on the market only eighteen
days before Christmas, amazed every
one by its sensational record. Fifty
thousand had been printed to sell at
one cent apiece. They went in a
week, and then the stamp got into
Philadelphia. where the Pennsylvania
Red Cross welcomed it and backed II,
and the North American gave II splen
did aid. The Delaware schools sold
II, the Women's clubs In Delaware
took II up. the newspapers gave col
umns to 1t, the department stores
banks, drug stores and hotels sold II.
1t was sold in the corridors of the
Wilmington Federal building. by per-
mission from the government. though
not the postoffice Itself. The presses
in the last few days before Christmas
ran night and day to supply the de-
mand. People used the stamps on
packages and letters, and business
firms on their correspondence. Nearly
four hundred thousand were sold, and
nearly three thousand dollars cleared
from this small unobtrusive penny
stamp.
What the Stamp Did for Delaware.
With this money the Delaware Red
Cross first brought an educational
anti-tubercuosis exhibit to Delaware
which was visited by twenty thousand
people in ten days. The clubs, oranges
city boards, teachers. clergymen, la
Dor unions, state officials, were all
specially invited on special days, and
the whole state was walked up. A
nurse was sent to the sanitarium, and
free dispensary supplied with milk
and eggs. drugs. and visiting nurse
