BLIND TIGER" IS
 NOW IN MARION

Marion, February 21.-(Special) )-Suffi- cient evidence was given on Saturday to indicate the fact that a blind tiger has reached Marion. Just how much pressure will be brought to bear by the officials in the detection of this crime no one knows. Judge Miller of the cir cult court has put himself on record by sending a white man of some promi |. hence to the county convict farm for violation of the prohibition law; and if there be other convictions they are sure to go to the same place.
 The Owenton college basketball team will play Marion institute team Monday afternoon on Marion campus. The Ma rion boys have practiced hard during the past few days and expect to give the Birmingham boys a defeat equal to that they received in Birmingham recently from Owenton.
 A new century meeting of the minis ters of the Cahaba associa ton is sched- uled to be held in the Baptist church of Greensboro March I. s and g. Dr. A. P. Montague of Howard college. and Dr. R. G. Patrick of Judson college are the principal speakers, while the Revs J. c. Dobbins, J. E. Barnes, J. A Me Crary and r. V. Bomar are assigned to subjects on the programme.

FARMERS MEETINGS IN NORTH ALABAMA Two Parties VIII Tour State
 This Week WILKINSON IN ONE GROUP Professor Hines Will Talk on the Boil Weevil, and Professor Ridgeway
 Will Discuss the Raising
 of Pork.
WILKINSON IN ONE GROUP

we are stirring farmers all over the state," said Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Wilkerson, who was in Birrning- ham last night. '~rhey are becoming more and more interested in soil conditions, and are learning to live at home. The under standing of soil conditions is the funda- mental upon which all successful scien- tihc farming is possible"
 MT. Wilkerson leaves today on an insti- ute tour of north Alabama Two parties will SCOUT the whole north of the state, one going east and the other west Ac- companied by w. D. Hines, professor of entomology at Auburn, MT. Wilkerson will go to Oneonta, Gadsden, Boaz. AL bertville and a number of other towns. l.. N. Duncan and Professor Ridgeway will start in Jasper and make a week of it out in that direction. Mir. Hines is speaking on the boil weevil while MT. Wilkerson is making his usual strong ap- peal for better cultivation, raising home supplies, and giving the farmers general information. Mr. Duncan talks on the rotation of crops and Professor Ridgeway will deal with the raising of pork. He says that Alabama can raise hogs cheap CT than does the west, due to her grazing opportunities, fruit gleanings and other crop leavings. He is educating the farm CTS to further promotion of this indus try
 Representatives of the Farmers union will attend both parties, and will make talks. The Farmers unions all oyer the north of the state have been invited to at- tend and big crowds are expected
 MT. Wilkerson is still enthusiastic on the results of the prizes which the state has offered for exoellency in crops. He says that about 800 applicants are now in. and more are arriving every day He is es- pecially interested in organizing the boys of the agricultural districts, and hopes within short time to have a great con vention of several thousand boys to in- culcate in them the principals of good farming.
 While the commissioner Is saying noth- ing about 1t, it is known that he Is going to be candidate for state treasurer when things open up. His friends say he will be one of the strongest candidates in the field.
