Careful scrutiny was given to vari-
Gus of the bills presented, the water
and light bill, which was a total Of
$139.40 requiring explanation by Mr..
Robertson who asked the various
amounts for the different schools and
the totals for water and light separ-
alter. Salaries of janitors engineers,
ETC., came in for discussion and Sec
reta y kumler was asked if the jani-
tor work in the buildings could not
be done by contract.
The pay roll of teachers was also
under discussion and led to a number
of enquiries to ascertain if the dis
trict was not engaging too many
teachers. There are SO teachers and
an average attendance of 21S0 pupils
which makes an average of nearly 25
pupils to a teacher Mr.. Reed said
teacher should be able to handle
40 pupils and then explained why the
average was lower. Special teach

of the high school is teaching no

Both Parties Have Opened Headquar

Chicago.-The opening of campaign
headquarters of both the Democratic

marked the beginning of the 1912
presidential campaign, and the work
is in full swing.
Congressman James T. Lloyd OF
Missouri is in charge cf the Demo.

is chief of the Republican organiza-
ton. In the Democratic campaign
book 36 pages are devoted to the red
hot speeches of Senators Cummins,

the party. The utterances of these
men against Cannonism, tariff and
rate laws will be used in fighting the
Republicans. Cannonism is to be
made the nationwide issue all over
the United States. Taft's mistakes
are also held up to criticism.
Both Lloyd and Casson are optimis.
tbs as to the results Of the elections

Montgomery, Ala.-That the boil

did In Mississippi last year, it will
find Judgment as far into the state
as Escambia county, across Mobile

This is the opinion of w. L. Pryor

Agriculture at Washington, who is

Mr. Pryor says that the weevil is
moving east out of Mississippi very
rapidly and all records go to show
that Alabama will be reached by the
early fall. He is urging that the
state get busy at once and make every
effort possible to diversity crops and
take such other means as are nee
essary to discount the depletion.

INFECTION IN THE PRISON
Peculiarly Favorable Field There for
the Spread Of the scourge
of tuberculosis.

Only twenty-one prisons in fifteen
states and territories have provided
special places for the treatment OF
their tuberculosis prisoners. These In
stitutions can accommodate, however,
only 500 patients. In three-fourths Of
the major prisons and in practically
all the jails Of the country the tuber-
culous prisoner is allowed freely to
infect his fellow prisoners, very few
restrictions being placed upon his
habits. When the congregate mode Of
prison life is considered, the danger Of
Infection becomes greater than in the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer all tuberculous
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi-
tai is in Manila, where accommoda-
tions for 200 prisoners are provided.
The next largest is Clinton prison hos
pital in New York, which provides for
$50.

CONDEMN WAREHOUSE PLAN.
Alabama Farmers Union Oppose the Merger
Plan -Notional President Talks.

Montgomery, Ala.-Strong opposI-
ton to the proposed plan Of John
Hays Hammond, Daniel j. Suliy and
other cotton men to establish a chain
Of cotton warehouses developed at
the session Of the Alabama FarmerS
Progressive and Cooperate Union.
National President g. s. Barrett re-
ferred to it in mis- address to the con.
vention. He said:
"A meeting was called, Atlanta be-
ing selected for it, to discuss the ad-
visibility OF gathering under one bust
ness organization the control Of the
union warehouses in Georgia There
were more than $50 such establish
ments at the time. the number being
second only to those Of Texas.
1T was proposed to have boss, a
big man to run the business, to have
1t under the control of a few men.
It was proposed to the farmer to give
up his rights and turn the control
over to the boss A year later, an
other meeting was held and the plan
failed to carry.
Il advised that we never surrender
our rights; never to surrender the
rights our ancestors fought and died
for. Hold what you have.
THE trouble with you farmers is
you want too much; you are never
satisfied; rest awhile when you get
something and enjoy it; never give up
your warehouses. They refused to
in Georgia. Never surrender your
rights"
State President w. A. Morris, in an
interview, declared:
THE Southern farmers realizing
along what lines their best interests
lie, will never affiliate with such a
movement. TO block such a move
ment will be our strongest effort Can
any one suppose the Southern farmer )
will place the control Of the cotton
crop in the hands Of other inter-
ests?
1--WE are well satisfied with existing
conditions as compared to what the
result of the advent of such a cotton
institution would be. am convinced
the farmers of Alabama and the rest
of the South will meet this plan with
cold shoulder. 1t is not to their

TAFT QUITS MACHINE.
The President and Roosevelt Are
Again Friends.

Again Friends.
New York City.-President Taft and
ex-President Roosevelt are again fell
low-workers in the same political
field. The threat that they might pull
apart has been forefended by full
explanation on one side and an unre-
served acceptance on the other.
The president makes it plain in a
letter given out here by Lloyd G. Girls
com, president of the New York Re.
publican county committee, how the
misunderstanding arose. He explained
that he never took any part in COM
mittee cabal to defeat Colonel Roose-
welt for temporary chairman of the
coming Republican state convention
On the contrary he explicitedly de-
plored the result of the committee
meeting which chose Vice President
Sherman; he rebukes the party lead
ers who have permitted it to go
abroad uncontradicted that the Pres
ident of the United States was be-
hind their factional preferences; he
insists that at every opportunity he
advised the fullest conferences with
Colonel Roosevelt and he explains
that he has been panied by the "col-
umns of unfounded assertions in the
newspapers concerning my attitude in
respect to the New York situation
For his part, Colonel Roosevelt,
when he read President Taft's letter
as communicated to him at Oyster
Bay, said:
81 am very glad to see President
Tafts letter, and am pleased with it. !"
Beverly, Mass.-There is much
speculation here as to what the fu-
ture relations between the President
and Vice President are to be. That
a sure enough break has come out OF
the New York situation, but that it
involves Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sherman,
rather than Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roose-
welt, is the general opinion There
is little doubt here that Mr.. Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt, working harmon1-
ously and militantly in New York
state, will have matters entirely their
own way so far as the Republican
party is concerned Just what figure
Mr.. Sherman is to cut in the read.
justment that is bound to come, it
is difficult to figure.
The differences between the Pres1-
dent and Mr.. Sherman, as revealed
in Mr.. Taft's letter, appear to be IT.
