Green COW pea hay is more nutri-

When planted for green manuring Il
is advisable to turn hogs or any stock

Hogs, especially young pigs, thrive
on the succulent growth and the quail

Woman's Grewsome "Joke."

Man may be a brute, but when it
comes to subtle, cunning and fiendish
cruelty woman takes the palm. Only
ia woman could have conceived of the
"joke" of sending one undertaken
after the other to house where no
one had died and where there had not
even been a case of sickness for
long time. In every case the under
takers had been called up by wom-
an. who informed them that some
body had died at certain address in
the Bronx and requested them to call
there with their gruesome paraphar-
MALTA as soon as possible. A perfect
procession of undertakers was thus
kept going to that house until the
owner, driven frantic, appealed to the
police for protection.

heard Camden lobsterman give.
What. exactly, is a yacht?' a lady
said to this old lobsterman.
"He plugged Holsters claws and
answered mockingly:

with whisky an chicken an cigars,
an git yer friends all on board, an

A large majority of the girls and young
women who are inmates of the evil resorts
in Chicago are country born and bred. In
recent investigation of conditions in the
''red light" district the searcher found that
in a majority of cases the girls came from
good homes in rural neighborhoods. One
was from a little settlement beyond the
Canadian border. Another came from a
little town in the backwoods of Maine. An
other had but recently left a prosperous
farm home on the Minnesota prairie, and
still another was from good home in the

The complaint of I. Frances in regard
to the 10-hour labor law for women is not
so strange. The comparison of girls in
shops with those working in department
stores is perhaps correct, but the people
who interested themselves in and who were
active in passing the 10-hour bill in the
last legislature worked hard to include de-
partment stores, too, but found the OPPOSE
ton too strong to overcome and rather
than have the bill defeated compromised
on this point. 1t may also be true that
this law will cause inconvenience to some

However, it must be admitted that it by no

lover gives her no chance of acting sensibly. The
amount of ingenuity which some men evnce in order
to conceal the real state of empty purse truly is
marvellous. The girl who asks that man shall sac

vanity is the kind of girl who should be left alone

 "As result of the epidemic in Athens Female college the following deaths oc- cured on Friday, the 9th inst:
 Miss Florence Brown of Cullman. sec retary to the principal.
 Miss Nina Word of Madison; Miss Louie McWhorter of Gaylesville, and on last night, the 9th met, Miss Annie Nich- ols of New Hope.
 Miss Brown and Miss Nichols died in the college building; Miss Word at her home, and Miss MeWhorter at Collins vile.

 'As soon as the state health officer. Dr. Sanders. of Montgomery; pr. Litterer of Vanderbilt university, the local medical authorities and pr. Cunningham Wilson of Birmingham, all of whom are at work upon the situation, reach a conclusion as to the source of the infection, full state ment, down to the minutest detail, shall be published
 '"rhe patrons and the public may be as- sured that no pains or expense are being, or shall be- spared to ascertain and erad- icate the source of this epidemic, and that not one single detail shall be withheld.
 There have been no new cases for 10 days. Four of the B patients now in the college are conva1escent. three are seri- ously III. No fears are entertained for tNe rest.
 The situation is entirely abnormal There has never before been a death In the college from typhoid fever, and in the entire history of the college only two deaths have occurred among its students one being the result of burns sustained and the cause of the other I am unable to give. One Of these deaths occurred be- fore the war and the other over 30 years ago.
 We believe that with the passing of this abnormal condition, there shall be nothing to fear for the health record of the college.

EARL D. WILSON MAY YET RECOVER
FOOTBALL PLAYER WHO WAS PARALYZED THREE WEEKS AGO UNDERGOES OPERATION THAT APPEARS TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

Annapolis, Md, November 7.--After ly- tion since the injury to his spine in the Villa Nova-Navy football game three weeks ago yesterday Midshipman Earl D.. Wilson, quarterback of the Naval acad- emy football team, was operated on this afternoon in an effort to save his life. The operation was considered successful and the chances strongly favor his re- covery, 1t is said.
 After once abandoning the operation as practically hopeless, the surgeons at the naval hospital held another consul tation this morning and determined to perform it. Wilson, who has retained his mental faculties, was anxious for the op- eration. The operation consumed nearly two hours. It was performed by Surgeons Stokes. Iden, Woods and Assistant Sur geon Cottle of the navy. Later the fol- lowing statement was issued:
 'The operation was successful in every way. Parts of the laminae of the sixth. fifth. fourth and third cervical vertebrae were removed and pressure from bone fragments relieved. The easing of the spinal cord was opened and careful inspection made II was round that the cord had been dangerously compressed be- meath the fourth vertebra due to the dislocation of that vetebra. All indica- tions were carefully met and the patient left the table in excellent condition with his chances decidedly improved The outcome depends upon the extent of the original damage to the spinal cord.''
 It was found that above and below this point of pressure the cord was perfectly normal. Experiments showed that while smaller and much compressed, there were some pulsations and signs of life in the injured portion of the cord

KYLE PRICE STORMS
 AT ANTI LEADERS
CALLS BOWIE, STALLlNGS AND BOWMAN "POPPlNJAYS,p WHO ARE AFRAID TO MEET HIM IN DEBATE.

Anniston, November 7.--(Special 1-Kyle 5. Price of Elba addressed a large crowd at the courthouse here this afternoon. The meeting was presided over by Judge J. c. Wilson. who introduced Dr. J. D. Simpson of the Methodist church here. Dr. Simpson introduced MT. Price.
 MT. Prices address is considered the most caustic that has been listened to here in long time his attacks at times bordering on viciousness. Much time was consumed by these attacks and his at temps to show up' the principal con tentions of the antis. Numerous exist ing laws were read from the statutes explaining the search and seizure bug bear," as was also law imposing fine of at least $50 and imprisonment for ma licious persecution with search warrant, for the enlightenment of those who have been led to believe they had no recourse in such cases, provided the proposed amendment is adopted. He insisted that a mans home would not be invaded so long as he himself held 1t sacred, But" he dramatically declared, just as soon as man violates the sacredness of his own home by converting it into a blind tiger, then is when we will cease also to consider it sacred and proceed accord ing to law"
 Mir. Price at length explained his own position regarding the recent challenge sent out to the antis to meet him in joint debate. and said that the challenge was not made for the purpose of a small potato" adding glory to himself, as has been charged, if accepted, but for the purpose of getting as many antis to hear him as possible. He said: Tt were better for them to run with a few feathers on their legs than to leave all the feathers on the platform before me-"
 Bowie, Stallings and Bowman were re- ferred to as 'spoppinjays' who were afraid to dignify him with debate. Knox, John ston, Bankhead Dent and Jelks, together with the anti-amendment papers, were singled out and raked over the coals.
 At the beginning MT. Price stated that in all the campaign work he had ever done he never resorted to mud singing and did not propose to do so now, and pletely upset the mud pan.
 His address served to instill renewed vigor among the amenders, and there is rejoicing in their camp tonight.
 In the city court yesterday verdict was rendered in favor of the defendant in the case of Sel1oski vs. Central Foun- dry company for damages for alleged injuries said to have been received by the plaintiff while employed by the com pany.

DRY GOODS REVIEW.
Broadening Demand For Cotton Goods
 and Yarns.

New York, November 7.-Throughout the week there have been many evidences of a broadening demand for cotton goods and yarns on the jobbing and retail mar kets. Trading with the mills was less than last week. Fall River showing sales of only 100000 pieces of which 40,o00 were spots. The light trading was due in great part to the unwillingness to go far ther ahead at the low prices current in relation to cotton.
 Cotton yarns were advanced sharply following a meeting of yarn spinners and yarn dealers at Philadelphia. and sales are increasing. Domescc bleached goods. gnghams and prints have sold more free ly in the jobbing houses. Duck is strong CT. Hosiery is still selling steadily Mems wear wollens continue to sell Dress goods are moving more steadily. Fine and fancy cottons are going higher all the while and are being bought more freely for the future.
