Farmers Wust Wake Hei7
 Farms Sel-SnstAining

tee on agriculture, with representa- tive paid by the state, whose most inn portant duty is to induce the farmers to plant truck and supplies which will tide them over the early season and prevent the market being flooded with cheap cotton.
 Alabama should have such a com mittee. It will get the farmers wide awake to tn cir interests and will bring thousands of dollars into the state.
 The papers would do great good by continually advocating this feature and assisting the campaign of education. If they would lay great stress upon it in the early season when the planting Is being done many farmers who are struggling along in debt until picking time and then have to throw their cot ton on the market to meet their notes, would learn to increase their profits and lend a hand in carrying out the object of the farmers union.
 "Only when all of us get the habit will the union accomplish It's purpose, so you can readily see that this Is one of our important principles and should receive the most urgent attention"

CITY POLITICIANS
 TAKING NOTICE Gossip Going Rounds About Next Years Primary 0'BRIEN AGAIN CANDIDATE Number of Department Heads May be Placed on Ticket and officeseek-
 CTS Will Have Large
 Territory to Cover.
O'BRIEN AGAIN CANDIDATE

While the next city democratic primary is some nine or 10 months distant, there are already whisperings going the round regarding who will be who and what will be what
 The regular election will be held next September. while the lucky candidates will go into office on October 1, 1910. From the present outlook the democratic pri- mary will probably be held in June.
 Of course, the question as to who will be the next mayor will be the main point at issue, but there will be many other matters which 1t Is believed will stir up the real heat of the campaign Mayor OBrien will be a candidate for re-elec- ton. and judging from his last campaign it is doubtful if he will have an opponent Under the new code his term was cut down to r months and the people will probably restore to him the seven months he lost by giving him another term.
 Whether the city democratic executive committee will follow exactly the ex- pressed will of the people that the heads of every department of the city govern ment be placed on the ticket is some ing which will serve to arouse consider able interest before it is settled.
 At the last primary the people decided by great majority that the heads of all departments must be placed on the ticket. It is rumored that an effort will be made to eliminate two or three of the offices from this ruling, and 1t Is understood that some members of the executive com- mittee think well of the plan.
 The offices referred to are such as aud itor and treasurer. The opinion expressed by committeeman favoring the plan is that such offices as these are of such nature that the City Council would be in better position to judge of mans ability for the position than would the general public.
 Any way, there will be large number of the department heads on the ticket. and the buttonholing of voters will be all the rage within few months. That there will be competition for practically every place is an assured fact, and many of the prospective candidates are already busy ing themselves.
 The officeseeker who formerly made po- ltical speeches in the six square miles of Birmingham will have to hustle himself in the next primary, for then he will have 4S1h square miles to cover in the area of Greater Birmingham. He will have to acquaint himself with the dozen other municipalities which will be ab- sorbed by Birmingham and the finish of the race will find him in winded condi- ton from the strenuous campaign. Undoubtedly the absorbed towns will furnish a host of candidates for the va- vious positions, and they will inject life into the campaign.

NEGRO IS CAUGHT
 STEALING PURSES
Exciting Chase Down Street Draws Large Crowd and Money
 Is Recovered.

Following an exciting chase through the heart of town yesterday afternoon, w. A. Goodwin. a negro man, was ar- rested for stealing pocketbooks from two ladies in Bynum's millinery store on Third avenue.
 A man noticed the negro throw two empty pocketbooks into the street in front of the store. He stepped up to Police man Henderson, who was nearby, and told him of it. A number of men and boys took up the chase and after running some distance caught him.
 When asked why he had thrown the pocketbooks away he explained to Po- liceman Henderson that they were his mothers. MT. Henderson searched him and found S19.50 in his pockets, and then proceeded down the street toward the Bynum store.
 In the meantime two ladies who were shopping in the store reported the loss of their pocketbooks They were Mrs. T. Raymond and Mrs. c. E. Temerson, the former reporting that her pocketbook con- tained $.50 and the latter having SIS. This tallied with the amount of money found on the negro.
 The ladies identified the pocketbooks and the money was restored to them. The negro was taken to the city jail and a charge of robbery docketed against him. A great amount of excitement was created by the chase after the negro.

GEORGIA MAN SAYS THEY MUST LEARN TO PLANT TRUCK AND OTHER SUPPLIES TO TIDE THEM OVER.

'rhe farmers are coming to realize that to reap the advantages of the union and to actually operate they must make their farms self sustain ing" said W. L. stallings, delegate to the Farmers union from Georgia.
 Until the farmer learns to raise supplies at h home and not run into debt for the necessities of life while he Is making his crop, he will never be able to market it slowly and keep the price where it ought to be.
 We intend to make this one of the great educational features of the union. It will be taken up in the con- vention, and We will try to induce all the states in the cotton belt to assist in an educational campaign.

Cullman, September s.-(Special At a meeting characterized by intense enthu- siasm and several ringing speeches, the citizens of Cullman county assembled in a called meeting at the courthouse here. strongly condemned the constitutional prohibition amendment and decided to take an active hand in the fight for the defeat of the amendment
 The meeting was largely attended by citizens of nearly every vocation and from the general spirit of the assembly indl cations are that the amendment will be overwhelmingly defeated in Cullman county.
 A delegation of 24 citizens, all promi- nent in affairs, was appointed to attend the convention to be held in Montgomery on September 15, with reference to the amendment.

career unless it is conducted on business principles The great corporations in America, every large and every little brsi- ness in America, pays money and pays it liberally for the best brains to conduct 1t successfully.
 Can the farmer, who produces more business than any set of men in Amer ica afford to adopt less sensible means? :? Can he afford to ignore the pricinple that the laborer Is worthy of his hire. and then expect to succeed like the great organized interests and bodies all around him?
 Another thing I think needs to be inn pressed upon every member of the Farm CTS union, whether official or not, and that is that we have all enlisted for the war, not for the battle or for one cam paign Great reforms, revolutionary oru- sades, are never consummated quickly, and the ends of the Farmers union. con- templatfng as they do equalizing the least wrong, the smallest inequality under the development of the farmer until he is able to battle for his rights, political. economic and industrial, on plane with every other element of population, can not be materialized over night.
 We have had backsliders in the past, and a few disloyal, indolent brethren. We must expect a small percentage of these in the months and years to come. As long as human nature exists we must make up our minds to encounter these things"

SENSE ABOUT FOOD. Facts About Food Worth knowinu

It is a serious question sometimes to know just what to eat when persons stomach is out of order and most foods cause trouble
 Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any time with the certainty that it will di- gest. Actual experience of people is val uable to anyone interested in foods.
 A Terre Haute woman writes: q had suffered with indigestion for about four years, ever since an attack of typhoid fever, and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food, and then suffer such agony with my stomach I would wish I never had to eat anything.
 T was urged to try Grape-Nuts and since using 1t do not have to starve my self any more. but I can eat 1t at any time and feel nourished and satisfied dyspepsia is a thing of the past, and I am now strong and well.
 My husband also had an experience with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak and sickly in the spring. Could not attend to his work. He was put under the doctors care but medicine did not seem to do him any good until he began to leave off ordinary food and use Grape Nuts It was positively surprising to see the change in him. He grew better right off. and naturally he has none but words of praise for Grape-Nuts.
 Our boy thinks he cannot eat meal without Grape Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that his teacher and other scholars comment on 1t. I am satisfied that 1t is because Of the great nourishing elements in Grape-Nuts."
 There's Reason"
 It contains the phosphate of potash from wheat and barley which combines with al- bumen to make the gray matter to 6oily refill the brain and nerve centers.
 It is a pity that people do not know what to feed their children. There are many mothers who give their youngsters almost any kind of food. and when they become sick begin to pour the medicine down them The real way is to stick to proper food and be healthy and get along without medicine and expense.

PLACES BLAME FOR BUCKHOLTER DEATH
CORONER WILL ORDER ARREST OF CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN
 WHO LEFT WIRE EXPOSED WHICH CAUSED BOYS DEATH.

Coroner B. L. Brasher held an in- vestigation yesterday of the death of Burney Buckh otter, the 14-year- boy who was instantly killed last Sunday afternoon at Martin switch on the North Bessemer car line, when he caught hold of charged guy wire. The coroner holds that the street car coA- pany is responsible for the boys death and he announced last night that he would issue a warrant for the arrest of the construction gang foreman who left the wire exposed charging him with criminal negligence.
 The coroner states that the foreman was instructed to move the wire, which he never did further than to hang 1t up where the wind would blow 1t down again.
 It will be recalled that the Buck hotter boy and his brother had started out to drive in some cows. their father operating dairy at Conner station, which Is short distance beyond where the accident occurred. As they started down the bank of cut at Martin switch Burney seized the end of the guy wire which had been thrown across the heavily charged trolley wire.
 No sooner had the boy grasped the wire than he was literally whipped about by the force of the current. His brother attempted to rescue him and was burned in his heroic efforts. How ever, his bravery was all in vain for his brother had little more than touched the guy wire when death came to re- lieve his agony.

 PRICE OF COTTON Election of Officers Will Proba- bly, Be Taken Up at Meet

 will probably reach the election
 of officers this morning, and there
 5 is no doubt but that c. S. Barrett
 will be returned to the presidency The committee on the minimum
 price of cotton held two meetings yesterday but was unable to come to any conclusion. It Is consid-
 ering the advisability of fixing 0
 positive minimum, or arranging a
 flexible scale and leaving 1t to the executive committee to change the scale as conditions demand. In 1907 the minimum was 15 cents and 1t has been rumored that this figure will be set again for this year. However, there is 3 considerable difference of opinion, and even if the minimum is set it 3 Is not probable that any official statement will be made. The convention will spend the whole of today hearing the re- 5 ports of committees and will finish 5 most of its important work.
