FARMERS ARE BUYING
 MORE COMPOST THAN USUAL

Local livery stable men say the de. mand for compost, even at this time oi year. Is unusually heavy and that they cannot fill all the orders they receive for 1t. The farmers. say the stable men, seem to have suddenly become possessed of a desire for this class oi fertilizer and are moving everything to get it..
 Several travelling men, working foI local houses, were asked if they had seen any signs of the demand in the sIhaller cities of the State, and they say the condition apparent here ob- tains almost all over the State. espe- cially in districts where diversified crops are pushing cotton for room.
 The fertilizer men say they have not felt any effect of the demand for fer tilizer other than that of the commer- efal manufactured variety. but all the same Montgomery men who have trav- eled about the State in the last few days say that old style of crop pro- ducer is everywhere in evidence.
 An out-of-town farmer was ask ed about 1t yesterday and said that he too, had observed the new turn of af- fairs and the only reason he saw foI 1t was the lack of money to purchase the manufactured article.
 Believing the price for the stapls compost will increase as the demand grows. some of the local stable mer have shut down on sales and are at tho same time buying up their smaller competitors, believing they have good chance to make some extre money.

NO SMALLPOX FEAR
DISEASE EXISTS ONLY IN UPPER
 ORENsHAw COUNTY.
A Large Amount of Vaccine Has Been Sent to La Pine, the Town In- fected, by the Local Author-
 ftlea.

Reports received in the city of a small pox epidemic In Montgomery county, near Crenshaw county line. were set at rest by Dr. Glenn An drews, county health officer. yesterday, who after a conference with the health officer of Crenshaw county. is assured that the smallpox near the line is confined entirely to Crenshaw.
 To prevent the spread to Montgom- cry county. an amount of vaccine has been despatched to LaPine town on the line between the two counties that the school children who enter the infected district, may be rendered immune.
 The county health officer relates that there is very little, if any small pox within the confines of the coun- ty. outside of the city. at present. A few isolated cases in Beat II, all of which are those of negroes. a few at Ada. and one or two mild cases on the outskirts of Montgomery. near Chisholm. are all of which the au- thorities are aware.
 The health officer was granted the discretionary power of vaccinating the school children of the county by the Board of Revenue at recent meet ing. Tn some instances this vaccina- tion has been effected. though the majority of those in need of the treat ment object. and as there is no stat ute providing compulsory vaccination the county must forego its preventi- tive treatment in many cases. The single case of small pox which broke out upon an inmate of the coun- ty jail, has been isolated. the infected negro prisoner having been remoyed to the pest house.

A scArHING ABANDONMENT.
Former Judge Edward Hatch Goes Af~ l ter Oklnhoma's Lckislnture.

Musk ogee, Okla. Feb. 25.--In the closing arguments In the Federal Court here today. in the case of the Kansas Natural Gas Company and Ohio and Delaware firms, seeking to permanent ly enjoin the State from interfering with their piping gas out of the State former Judge Edward W. Hatch. of New York. for the plaintiffs. delivered a scathing arraignment of the Legis- lature that passed the proh ibitory law in question.
 This" declared Judge Hatch. "rel egates us to the days of the passage of the secession enactment. can think of no difference in one State talk ing herself out of the Union and talk ing her property out of the union and removing what Is a beneht to all citi- zens of the Union. If Oklahoma. can do this with her gas. other States can do the same with their wheat. corn and cotton"
 Attorney General West. for the State also became sensational in his argu- meut. He charged that the standard oil Company had appropriated several million dollars to prosecute the gas cases and was the real party interest ed.
 Judge Campbell granted the State thirty days in which to file briefs and the gas company fifteen days in which to file a reply.

 This information was fmparted to a young lawyer who had something to say about his understanding about a misdemeanor case when . felony case Is pending. The attorney said he did not think the court would care to try the misdemeanor case before the felony case was tried.
 The question of giving a prisoner time in which to get ready to plead guilty and pay a fine also arose.
 "I find that 1t is a rule that does not work very we'll" said Assistant Solicitor Aird. 'It would be a good rule if the defendants would carry out thu cir part of the contract, but they often fail to appear at the time ap- pointed"
 Judge Fort said he would deal gently with such cases until the word went the rounds that defendants would have to be ready when the time arrived for trial,

Jews To Be Thorou4hly Discuss ed In Montgomery For
 First Time.

MT. A. H. Fromenson, representative of the Federation of American Zionists will arrive in Montgomery today foI Che purpose of delivering a lecture al Che Temple tonight. in behalf of the cause that he represents.
 Mir. Fromnson is a speaker of grea, magnetism and understands the subjec, throughout. He has been identified with the movement alslost from its in- ception. and for the past two years has been travelling to make propa- ganda for the cause. During the last few months he has been in the South and wherever he has gone. has wield- ed great influence in behalf of the movement. He comes to Montgomery fresh from triumphs in other cities of the Southland, and no doubt will have much to say that will be of interest This is the first time that people in Montgomery will hear Zionism explain ed by one who Is authority on the sub- 5ect and speaks authoritatively on the various phases of the movement.
 The Zionist movement was organized eleven years ago by Theodore Herzl editor of The Eeue sFreie Presse of Vienna, the leading newspaper of the Austrian capital. The oppression of the Jews In Russia, Roum ania and oth- CT sections of the world, made the ed itor feel that liberty for the Jew Is not to be sought for in these lands. and that therefore there shall be estab- lished a legally assured home" for the oppressed of the Jewish people. Such home In the estimation of Herzl would be logically. Palestine.
 Zionism numbers thousands of ad. herents throughout the world. among them men of international fame. as Dr Nordau, Col. Go1dsnid. of the English army, Prof. Marmorek, Prof. Mandel- stamm. Prof. Gottheil, Israel Zangwill and others of no less fame. Strange as 1t may seem there are many Chris tians who are zealously identified with the movement, and Father Ignatius the Episcopalian monk. was known tC frequently address Zionist gatherings
 Services will be held at the Temple at 7:30 o'clock. and the lecture will bt delivered at o'clock. All will be vel. come.

Blacks of Georgia Plan For Their
 Material Upltft.

Atlanta, Feb. 25.-A plan for the material uplift of the negroes of Geor- gia, which comes entirely from negro initiative. was announced here to-day
 The plan contemplates buying 2o,- GOO acres of farm land, dividing il into 400 farms of 50 acres each and allowing tenants to pay for this land in cotton. A period of seven years Is to be given each tenant to buy his land, paying 1000 pounds of good middling cotton per year. This amount k said to be equal about the average rental rate now paid by good negro tenants for their farm lands.
 It Is planned to call a meeting oi negroes at Albany, Ga.. on April II to attempt to put these plans Into effect.
