WILL SEEK
 MANDAMUS Wants Independence of
 the Cities. SCHOOL FUNDS APPRoRTIoNED Mayor-Elect Gunter Wants Money
 to City Direct, Effort to Be Made to Secure Appor- tfonment of City Funds to the City Without Mia
 dle Man.

If the present intentions of Mayor elect Gaston Gunter and others look Ing to the educational interests of the sity of Montgomery are carried out a light for the Independence of the in corporated towns and cities of the State in the matter of apportioning school funds will soon be undertaken.
 1t Is a fight which has been immi- nent for long time. Not until the last month, however. did the combat ants decide fully to make test of the law.
 The proceeding may partake of the nature of a mandamus directed at Hon. Harry c. Gunnels, State Super intendent of Education, though this is not settled as yet. Mayor elect Gunter acknowledged yesterday that q mandamus writ would be most prob- ably sought for the purpose of com polling the head of the State Depart ment of Education to apportion Mont gomery's share of the general educa- tional fund direct to the city authori- ties. either the city superintendent of education. or the city board.
 The legal contest may be fought out in one of the courts of this city, but this, too, has not been decided, though 1t will probably be the city court of Montgomery. It will involve some utco ana lHteEesLin8 pVihts VI l1Hs IL has served already to drag from the States archives an opinion of former Attorney General Massey Wilson and one of Attorney General Alex M. Gar Der, both on the same subject.
 These Attorney Generals both agreed that the State Superintendent should apportion and disburse direct to the counties as the units and not to the districts, leaving the apportionment for the latter with the respective coun- ty boards of education. This is the method which the State Department has been pursuing after construing Section 25e of the Constitution of Ala bama along with certain sections of the Code which are believed to have been passed in pursuance thereof.
 The friends of the cities and of the Municipal Code Bill passed at the last regular session of the Legislature rely on Section 176 of the latter. This in effect provides that instead of the county boards receiving the city's share of the public school fund from the State the city authorities them selves shall receive the money and the same shall be paid over to the

farmers would get tonnage rates from the railroads. and If there was any kick from the roads about this new departure. the Inter-state Commerce Commission would speedily see that the tonnage was the way by which the price would be fixed. He said there was little danger from the roads objecting to this. however, for the reduction in car use would re- iieve the roads from the yearly danger of car shortage and they would well come the innovation.
 Under the head of insurance. MT. Dreger said lower rates would De charged, for the compactness of the bales and the absence of air cells In the cargoes would eliminate all dang CT of loss. except in the loss of the boat itself.
 The item called arbitration the speaker said was the most fragrant graft. that 1t was something with which the American farmer was nof concerned. being purely a matter be- tween the wholesale shipper and the foreign spinner and the boat people. The spinners. he said often raised kick about damage to the cotton in transport and claimed so much on be- cause of the damage. or alleged dam age. and that this was a factor that prevented another factor that stood between the grower and fifteen cent cotton. The new bale so protected the cotton that the goods would arrive on the other side practically in the same condition 1t left the southern farms.
 But one of the best things about the new bale was the total elimination Of that class of cotton robbery. abroad, known as sampling. MT. Dreger said that from a crop of 10.000,000 bales 100000 we're stolen in sampling, the second sample being taken abroad af- ter first being sampled at home. to see if the man sampling in America knew how he was grading the goods That the only excuse for the foreign sample was that the old style bales suffered in transport and that 1t was resampled on the other side. This rake-off will be history he said. for the bales will travel safe from dam age
 some farmers have talked with Mir Dreger said "say they do not want fifteen cent cotton because the local stores that give them credit object and the stores are so good to them about credit that they are satisfied with the low price. that Is, until the end of the year, when the farmer pays up. and gets a receipt and a cigar as his profit above the costs of produc- ton and living. I was speaking of this with one man, and the fellows wife over heard me. she suggested her husband taking ten cents that he wanted for the grocer's sake and let ting her get the i've cents for herself and the children.
 Storage and old style compressing costs will be eliminated when the new compress gin is installed, and five dol lars a bale will be saved to the farm CTS from its use. to say nothing of the raise in price from well preserved goods.'
 At the conclusion of Mir. Dreger's speech the union again went into executive session.
 The following named officers of the Farmers Union wore present. includ- Ing about thirty other members:
 Charles Gay. President John E. Cheney. vice-president; J.sA. Cobb, secretary and treasury; U D. Brooks, chaplain: J. B. Stevens. con- ductor; Frank McLain. Jr.. doorkeeper.

FARMERS
 IN SESSION Montgomery County Local Met Yesterday. MIR. w. I, DREGER SPOKE He Proposed New Idea of Com
 pressing. Would Relieve Farmers of Evils In Connection With Ginning, Ealing and Shipping of Cotton Crop
 Union Had An Executive

Montgomery Local of the Farmers Union met Wednesday morning in the court house and listened to an interest ing talk about cotton. delivered by W. T. Dreger. of Memphis. Tenn. who Is advocating the installation of com presses with small gins. He is inter- ested in new compress idea. and spoke concerning the value of the new idea in handling bulk cotton. The union met Wednesday in executive session to transact its regular busi- ness.
 MT. Dreger went into detail in speaking of exportation of cotton, showing how the farmer, except for a small part borne by the spinners, bore the brunt of the entire handling of the goods. insomuch as the price received for cotton would be higher if the spinners did not have to pay sev- eral cents more to the people who handle it. than the price quoted to the farmers. This extra charge Mir. Dreg- CT said was unnecessary in the first place. and doubly so in the second. for the new method of baling prevent cd several items in the handling rates being charged.
 Among the items spoken of were, tare, insurance. arbitration and oth- CTS. In speaking of tare, Mir. Dreger said that as the cotton is now bafed this item in part was fair for the cot ton suffers much damage in trans portation owing to the loose packing and poor covering, but he also said this fact was used as an excuse to cut off much of the profit in bale and low price is partially the result of that cause. The new method of press- ing the bales he said would almost en- tirely eliminate this feature of the loss for the bales instead of being eighteen pounds to the cubic foot as now pressed. would be thirty, the den- sity of the bale making 1t less liable to damage. He called particular at tentioR to the fact that the new Pro- cess did not make the bales round, and that the old cry against the use- less forty pound core of round bale would not be made.
 This reduction in size of the bale. for they will weigh about the same, would enable the farmer by pressing his cotton at home to load on one car what formally four cars were requir- ed to carry and that instead of being charged by the car or for bulk, the

Getting the bird, writes a correspond

woe to the unfortunate actor. for there
are some nations that express their APP
plause by kissing. The Basutos, for in

Hebrides employ this method of ex-
pressing their admiration. Even among
ourselves any interruption of the actor
who grips our attention is quelled with
the kissing "Hush ~ which is intended
to silence the interrupter and show our
admiration for the interrupted.
On the Whole, authors and actors of
to-day have reason to congratulate
themselves upon the disuse of many of
the ancient Greek methods of showing
dissatisfaction in the theater. The
worst that a playwright must reckon
with now is an ironical cry of "Au-
thor!" followed by bOoing demonstra-
tion. But it is on record that the Athen-
ian audience at least once forcibly eject
ed an unsuccessful comic poet from the
theater. The pelting of bad actors with
