IN RE cYRENus.

Hardin County Citizen.1
1t might not be too discourteous to
call Cyrenus Coles attention to the
following passage taken from Taft's
Winona speech: TN the summer of
1907 my position on the tariff was
challenged and l then entered into a
somewhat fuller discussion Of the mat
ter. 1t was contended by the so-called
'standpatters' that rates beyond the
necessary measure of protection We're
not Objectionable because behind the
tariff wall competition always raised
the prices, and thus saved the con-
gunner. But pointed out in that speech
what seems to me as true today as it
was then, that the danger Of excessive
rates was in the temptation they Gre
ated to form monopolies in the pro-
tected articles and thus to take adj
vantage of the excessive rates by
raising prices"

Sheep and Fertility.

Sheep. when properly managed are
the most efficient lives took on the
farm to restore fertility to the soil and
at the same time leave both the soil
and the fertilizer in the best possible
condition to promote rapid plant
growth 1t has been my experience
and observation that sheep improve the
mechanical condition of the soil more
than any other kind of live stock. AS a
general rule, farmers are coming to be-
lieve that the pasturing of heavy live
stock, such as the horse and dairy and
beef cattle, has a tendency to compact
tillable soils and make them much
more difficult to till, and besides injure
their physical and mechanical condi-
lions.
This is not true with sheep. In the
first place they are not classed among

SECTION OMITTED
 FROM FULLER BILL


 Montgomery, August Especial )-At a conference held tonight by the prohi- bition leaders of the senate it was de- cided that the Fuller bill should be re- ported to the senate with section No. 3 eliminated. This is the section which re- lates to liquor advertising and the hand ling by newsdealers of magazines and newspapers containing any kind of ad- vertisements of liquors.
 While the conference was secret it is understood that the advocates of the Full Ter bill thrashed out the whole matter and decided that the newspaper advertising feature was unjust to the newspapers of Alabama and was not necessary for the carrying out of the strict prohibition pol icy which Is being pursued by the pres ent state administration. The bill with the section eliminated will probably be re- ported to the senate tomorrow morning.

 Besides my obligation to yourselves and the public as above stated, feel that 1t is my duty to the other players on the club to give them relief from the abuse and criticism which Is be- ing heaped upon them. Just at present the boys are being subjected to a lot of abuse because of our failure to win and they are being unjustly accused of not trying and being unwilling to play for me. Not a man on the club has ever refused to do anything I have asked of him. My retirement should certainly put stop to this criticism.

 Now Farrell says Marcan is the prop erty oe Birmingham. Roach of Bing- hamton, however, it would appear, has nothing to do with Marcan. And Mar can says that he will come south.
 Just what the result of the interesting tangle will be remains to be seen. At any rate, it looks like Binghamton is in hole unless some trade is perfected It is not considered probable that Marcan will come south this year.
