STATE RIGHTS SPECTRE
SOUTHERN MEN oBJECT TO
 "WHITE sLAvEv BILL.
Richardson of Alabama and others Declare It Proposes to Regulate 'A the Health and Mornls
 of People.

Washington. Dec. i5.-The effort of the present Congress to suppress the white slave traffic has caused O materialisation of the ancient spectre of States rights" and the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. before which the Mann bill Is pending. is at absolute logger heads oyer the question.
 Such strong objection on the part of Democratic members of the committee has been manifested that the chair man and his Republican associates have abandoned the measure until the next meeting of the committee on Fri day.
 Representative Richardsons (Ala- bama) takes the position that the bill constitutes an effort by the Federal government to regulate the morals of the State. He declares that if the bill becomes law there are no limiAs to which the Federal government might not go in regulating the morals and health of sovereign State.
 MT. Richardson is supported in his opposition by Representatives Bart lett and Adamson of Georgia.
 It was stated today by a member of the committee that unless the min- ority members were successful in their fight in committee they would present minority report on the bill and car- ny 1t to the floor of the House.

SOIL GENERALLY RICH
CONCLUSION FROM THE STATE
 CORN CONTEST
Yields Varying But Slightly In Total Amounts Recorded From Widely
 Separated Sections of AIabama.

That Alabama soil is universally good for corn culture and that lands adaptable to corn growing are not re- stricted to any one or more sections is tine deduction at which Commissioner of Agriculture Wilkinson has arrived as result of the corn contest that was decided last Friday
 As @ proof of the assertion of the universal adaptability of. the State soils, which, assertion will be made in the forthcoming bulletin of the agricultural department, Commissioner Wilkinson points to the fact that the three prize winners, whose enormous yields of corn were almost the same in amount, lived in three different sections of the State.
 W, c. H. vann. first prize winner. who presented record of i42 bushels and sixty-one pounds of corn on one acre, lives in Obbeyille. Henry County, in the extreme eastern portion of the State.
 George A Lelment. second prize win- ner, who produced 142 bushels and thirty-one pounds to one acre, lives in Tuscumbia, Colbert County, in the ex- trerne northwestern part of Alabama. O. A. Cobb. third prize winner. whose production was 138 bushels and twenty eight pounds. lives at Sumterville, Sumter County, in the middle west of Alabama.
 Only four bushels difference between the first and third prize yields is re- corded, while the three yields were produced in sections of the State as widely separate as is possible.

UP TO SUPREME COURT
SILVER DOLLAR SALOON CASE IS | APPEALED.
State officials And Attorneys Ask That Chancellor Gardner's Ruling in Matter Be
 Set Aside.

Just how far the possession of a federal revenue license and bar fix lures will go toward establishing guilt of suspected violators of the prohibi- tion laws is a point In contest before the Supreme Court.
 It Is up to the Supreme Court to settle the case of the Silver Dollar Saloon, of Is Commerce Street, which Chancellor L. D. Gardner refused 10 close as a public nuisance. Attor- neys for the state have appealed from the decision of the chancellor, and will continue their efforts to put the place out of business.
 Chancellor Gardner. in the Mont gomery chancery court, held that the evidence against J. W. Abraham was insufficient to show that his place was operated in violation of the law. A preliminary injunction by which the place was closed was dissolved by ths chancellor's decision, and bar fixtures and a small amount of liquor which had been seized by Sheriff Hood, were ordered return to Abraham.
 Attorney General Garber and the other state attorneys contend that the Silver Dollar saloon was operated in open violation of the law, and that the presence of the bar fixtures and the possession of a federal revenue liceuse was evidence of guilt.

..wHIrE SLAVE, BILL. ,
Officials Are Working on a Proposed
 


 Law.
 Washington, Dec. 15.-Comprehen- sive legislation designed to eradicate the evils of the white slave traffic" is contemplated in a measure which is being prepared at the Department of Commerce and Labor. ! The bill Is being gone over very carefully and when completed will be submitted to Congress together with the annual report of Commissioner Keefe of the immigration bureau.
 Senator Dillingham;. chairman of the United States Immigration Com mission, which has called attention to the revolting conditions existing, has been in conference with the officials of the department and 1t is expected that the proposed bill will embody the recommendations made by the legisla- tive body to remedy the evil so far as this may be done by congressional enactment.
 In his annual report Secretary. Ma gel recommended that the law prohfb- iting the bringing of women into the United States for immoral purposes be amended so as to prohibit inter- state traffic of this character and the probability Is that the measure to be submitted to Congress. will incorpor- ate provision designed to further this object.
