Prof. Marlin II. Craig, a high toned
gentleman who lives out in the Pin
Hook beat some SIX miles south of
Moulton, was in town on Thursday
last and reported a wonderful WELD
of cotton on his farm for 1907 On
one measured acre he picked 2250
pounds OF seed cotton, and five acres
averaged more than 1890 each. This
beats the record in Lawrence county,
SO far as we have been informed, but
prof. Craig is not yet fully satisfied
with results and has decided to make
three acres yield SIX big bales this
years
We looked at the progressive young
farmer with amazement, bat when he
unfolded his plans to as we were no
longer astonished and we expect to
see Marlin coming TO town in the fall
on new pike roads with those six
bales of cotton on one wagon When
the time comes we propose to meet
Martin out half waywith brass band
and give him a jubilee reception.
Then we expect TO see him drive back
with the Florence wagon hooked to
his old one, which the Tennessee
Valley Fertilizer Co, now propose to
give as premium TO the farmer of
our county who shows the best re
suits next fall
Prot. Craig has been using the Ten
nessee Valley Fertilizers exclusively
/ for years, and argues they are better
for our soil than any other brand, He
wants no other and viii have no
other kind, which shows good sense
and fine Judgement
In addition to what has been said
above in behalf of the Tennessee Val
ley Fertilizer Co Wen speak word
! of commendation We have some
business transactions with the gentle
men composing this firm and take
pleasure in testifying to their integri-
[ ty-they always make good, and those
are the kind of people we love to deal
with.

The box supper at this place Satur-

Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves
elegantly. The best order prevailed
The we'll filled boxes brought fancy
prices. We were honored with the
presence of some of the young gentle
men from Deitzen's Point, who are
members of. the surveying party of the
T. c., |. & r. r. Co. These young
men speak royalty of the courtesies
and friendship extended to them by
the young people of Ketchall. The
whole affair was an enjoyable one, but
for little accident which happened to
the camp boys. Their vehicle broke
down with Them but the native young
men came to their relief with their
suspenders, belts, neckties and shoe
strings and cedar timber to make the
repairs They carried enough cedar
timber home to pay for the repairs of
Mr. Humbe's vehicle, which was

Here comes old "Bill Doolie'' once
more The Lord has spared mo to
write to the union people again and al
so TO the non union boys. You know
how things have been here ever since
Gov. Conner has taken hold of things
He thought that he would break mp
this strike but he was fooled once, and
knows that he was. Say, "Bonny Boy
you know me, and YOU know how Hig'
don did with his little old moving pic
ture machine when he wanted to be
elected sheriff of jefferson Co., don't
your Say, didn't he do some tall talk
ing for sheriff. He sure did help the
laboring class of people out You know
how that was. l will tell you how he
helped them out, 1t was ont of the
way as much as he could. He wants
another Office but he won't get it.
Well, boys we are going to win this
thing this time sure. l wish you good
luck in Illinois. You may get to see
Alabama on the same scale again.
Boys, the union takes the day here in
Alabama. We used to be kicked out
of the mines and kicked out the house
if we said word, but, boys, you see
we caught them asleep one time. The
company thought that they had us on
rock bottom, but they didn't have us
as far-down as they thought. You see
they were on top for while, but the
union men are on top now and that
isn't all-tbey are going to stay that
way. We have got the company on
sand bottom and we are just keeping
them going, | think the next time you
hear from me they will still be going
that way.
Come on, poor old cream eaters and
join us and you won't have to chew
the horns off of the poor old COW any
more You can go down to the store
and get what you want and if you
don't want anything you can stay at
home with your wife and children.
You won't have to work day and night
to make meat and bread for them.
If you don't hear from me next week
you can say that Bill Doolie" doesn't
know anything to write.

We are working half time here and
we are proud of the chance to work
that much as long as we can work
like free men. We make living at
that amount. When we get the paper
or letters from relations and friends in
Alabama, we get awfully surprised at
some things We hear some of the
men who we thought would be last of
all to do the openshop act, are in the
lead. Now, boys, don't forget that it
is your interest as well as every other
working man S. and miners in partic-
ular, to win this strike. Stand togeth-
er and you can win without doubt.
To prove how fast peoples names
travel when they turn down the good
old union and stand by the company
here are some names | was surprised
to see in paper out here, as they are
some who were men with families
when was little boy, while l went
to school with some of the rest. The
names are Thomas Knott, James Pass

Christian, Dave Simpson and brother,
They are all old acquaintance of mine

are not in error they are working at
Empire, Ala, as strike breakers, and
we are sorry to hear it,

fellow not to work as a strike breaker
at Blue Creek in 1904 and he said,
There is no use. can't do much
worse than | have done. Don't think

The strike at this place is still on

The occasion was picnic given by
the United Mine Workers. The Farm

public generally. This was the largest
crowd ever assembled at this place, as
many as 1000 people being present.
The old farmers for miles around were
there and took great interest in the
discussion. There was music, oratory,
feasting and general good time. The
program was opened by singing, 1T

made lengthy speech and outlined
the conditions of Alabama before the
present strike, and he lifted his hands
up and begged all union men to stand
for their rights and to always be peace
full, for he said that peace and good
behavior will win this strike. After
dinner there were eloquent speeches by
W. R. Denmer, of Dora, Ala, Ed
Pace, colored, of Dora; Haywood Web
ster, of Dora; Robert Hunter, of Ivy
Leaf Mines, Hewil Moore, Secretary
