FARMERS GETTING
OUT OF THE RUT
AcRlcULTURIsTs NEAR EUFAuLA
MAKING PEcAN-RAISlNG PROF
ITABLE-ANOTHE cULTIvATES
PEARS ESPECIALLY.

Eufaula, October 2.--(special.)-It is
clearly evident to the casual observer
that farmers in this section have learned
not to rely entirely upon cotton and corn
as the only means of making their farms
self-sustaining.
W. p Johns, large farmer and inf1u-
entail citizen, who resides at Enon, north
of this city, began an experiment some
years ago in pecan culture, and as a re-
suit was able to dispose last season OF
5000 pounds of nuts at profitable returns,
and was not able to fill half his orders.
Mr.. Johns has now an orchard of 1000
or more trees, 100 of which are bearing.
He has orders this season for 10000 pounds
of his product which he hopes to fill, and
believes he could dispose of double the
quantity Mr. Johns also cultivates 200
or more pomegranate trees, nearly all of
which are bearing, and he finds ready
sale for his products at profitable returns
In the northern markets.
c. L. Oliver of that section has under
cultivation 500 pear trees of the Keifer
variety, of which he has made careful
study, and disposes very readily of his
fruit at profitable returns. He also claims
that there is not blghted tree in his
orchard
c. r. Barkesdale, another well-known
citizen, believes in thoroughbred stock,
and can see no reason why Alabama can
not raise them. He has number of
very fine horses which he reared on his
farm two. of which he will exhibit at all
of the fairs this fall, and firmly believes
will carry the blue ribbon over any south
ern-bred animal.
]. b. Cox. another resident of the Enon
neighborhood has under cultivation 10
acres in sugar cane, from which he has
engaged already so barrels of syrup at a
good price While these men all raise
large areas of both corn and cotton and
these products in their section are not
estimated beyond half yield this fall,
they can smile at hard times and look
cheerfully to the future.

Railroads Agreeable.

The fact that most of the rail lines
are getting in good with the commission
is testimony to the feeling on the part
of transportation men to have only peace
and to meet the state half way in all
its work. A case illustrative is found in
the decision of the Western of Alabama
to build a good depot at Lanette 1t
has depot facilities nearby at West Point.
Ga, and it is a good guess that on
contest it would have shown this to the
extent of complying with the Alabama
laws. But as soon as the request was
made to erect a depot it was agreed to
and next week the plans will be with the
clerk of the commission.

Ante BeIlum Home Burns.

Tuscumbia, October Especial. THE
old McClesky home near Allsboro, this
county. which was built more than 10
years ago by the father of Sheriff A. F.
McClesky, was burned last night about
midnight the fire it is believed being of
incendiary origin. A number of fires have
occurred in that neighborhood recently
and Sheriff McClesky has been active in
his efforts to trace their cause. The sher-
iff believes that his old home was burned
in revenge and that he will be able to get
evidence enough to arrest the suspected
parties.

a certain man had said that II the

sold in Union Springs In a year. This
man stood up and denied it, whereupon
men were toled out to prove the state

were said that both sides are no DOUBT

Remarkable Power Given.

Military men are surprised to find that
under the new code governor who
might be hostile to the National Guard,
could put the entire forces out of busl-
ness. A sentence put into the law by
the code committee and adopted by the
legislature, gives the executive authority
to cancel the commission of any officer
any time he sees fit fact already mem
toned But no one thought about it
being SO sweeping. A glance at this and
the section of the constitution on mill
tary will show that it might be the means
of actually depriving the state of a mill
tary force.

feet in the matter of the enforcement
of the provisions of the game law. The
farmer owns the domain over which hunt
Ing is done, furnishes the provender upon
which the states game subsists, and 1t
Is but proper that he should have the
right to elect who his guests shall be.
The farmers are citizens of conservatism
and discretion, and are not likely to
give written permission to hunt to recS-
less and shiftless men, Landowners have
reported many violations of the game
law and have been powerful forces in
bringing infractors of these statutes to
justice.
"A demand should be made on all hunt
ers that hunters license be exhibited for
your inspection, and everyone who hunts
without having first procured a license.
as required by law should be Immediate
ly prosecuted. Likewise, any person who
carries game any common carrier in
this state, without having in his posses
sion hunters license, should be made to
answer In the courts for this offense.
"Please be present each time the circuit

into nfractions thereof. The provision of
the law requiring this to be done has
served the excellent purpose of informing
the people of the provisions of these
statutes and of educating them to an
appreciation of their benefits, and of in
ducing the grand juries to be on the
alert to indict those who commit offenses
hereunder.
Effects of Game Laws.
aside from the splendid effects the
game laws of this state have welded for
the protection of the wild life within our
borders, the incidental benefits arising
under these statutes have been OF IN
calculable good to the people. Farmers
are now enabled to control labor, for for
merly farm hands persisted in hunting at
all seasons of the year when their serv-
ices were imperatively demanded In Gull
tivating the crops. Under the guise of
hunting, many petty offenses We're COM
mitted under former conditions by the
shiftless and rowing classes which ire
ouently purloned small stock on the
farms.
1T is most gratifying to the commits
sioner of the department of game and
fish to realize that there Is a strong pub
lie sentiment in Alabama, favorable to
the enforcement of the statutes for the
preservation and protection of our natural
resources. A statute that is not enforced
has no place on our law books and should
be repealed. The disregard for one law
brings all into disrepute and a condition
of lawlessness prevails which Is distaste-
full to every patriotic citizen; therefore, 1T
is my sworn obligation, as well as your
plain duty, TO go to the utmost eXtrem-
Ity in compelling obedience to the stat
utes committed to the officers of the
department of game and fish for en-
forcement No officer of the law can hope
to enjoy the respect and esteem OF the
people whom he serves, unless he is ever

duty reposed in him by law

NEW YORK. Oct 30.-The fifth
Vanderbilt cup race was won by
Harry Grant, driving a 60 h. p
Alec car, the only six-cylinder ma
chine in the race The time for the
27S.0S miles was 4:25:42, or an
average speed of 62.S miles an hour.
Edward Parker, driving Fiat, was
second, and William Knipper, with
Chalmers-Detroit, was third.
The only asher car that finished
was a Mercedes, and at least ten
of the entries in the Vanderbilt cup
race withdrew before the finish on
account of various troubles.
AS compared with the previous
Vanderbilt cup races, the contest
this year was reduced to the level
OF an ordinary stock car event, and
was tame and spiritless. The early
part of the race was muddled by
the simultaneous running of two
lesser contests for cars of moderate
power. In the shorter of the two
races the Massapequa sweepstakes,
