Il know how to sympathize with de-
feated candidate" said F. E. st. John
of Cullman. who was nominated for the
state senate from the Third state sena-
torial district at the recent primary.
For about one hour | conceded the
election to my worthy opponent, George
H. Parker. 1 will tell you right now the
feeling is not at all pleasant, and
heartily sympathize with any man who is
defeated after making a long. hard cam
paign and naturally feels that he is
going to win.
81 finally won out by ten votes in the
entire district. Pretty close rub, but it
is safe and means defeat for the other
man. A close majority is one of the
most ticklish things in the world

his way home from the annual meeting
of the state council of the Knights OF

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Asks for Suggestions

To, the Editor of The Age-Herald
Taking it as a whole, / am pleased
with the result of the democratic pri-
mary, and fully appreciate my election to
the legislature. Am thankful to those
who voted for me and assure those who
did not vote for me that l shall repre-
sent them all alike.
/ think that nearly everyone will con-
cede that the election means repudi-
alton of Comerism and statewide prohi-
bition.
1t appears that he is no longer factor
in Alabama politics, nor will his ex-
IRENE measures and policies receive FUR
Their serious consideration.
The liquor evil is not settled. and the
question is what shall be done to mini
mize the use and abuse of the stuff.
Very many suggestions have been made,
but in anticipation of being a member OF
the next legislature I have endeavored
to hold myself open to conviction as
to the best solution of the problem.
Now. that / will in all probability have
to meet and share the responsibility OF
passing laws to cover this great moral
question, I would be glad to have sug-
gestions and In order to give the subject
due consideration would like for all those
who have decided views on the subject
to write them out and either publish or
hand them to the nominees for the legis-
lature.
| | have been approached on number
of other subjects, besides the liquor ques-
ton, and it would please me II those who
have a special measure which they want
considered would furnish me. in writing
the subject and their reasons for advo-
eating such measures.
| It is easily understood that member
of the legislature does not have the time
during the short session of go days, te
give due and proper consideration to al
bills to be introduced I shall. therefore
be pleased to consider proposed bills be.
tween now and the time the legislature
convenes
It is my desire to faithfully represent
the people and shall conscientiously vote
on every question. Respectfully,

| You need 1000 or 5000 gallons per day.
| Birmingham would get this increased
amount if it were not for the cattle tick
and with the number of COWS now in
use.
THE cattle tick not only reduces the
amount of production, but is dangerous
to the health of those who drink the milk.
The COW may be clear of ticks now during
the winter and spring, but if she was
contaminated during the last summer the
blood is impure diseased and the milk
consequently unhealthy.
Thousands of infants die every year
and the cause in most of the cases is di-
rectly traceable to impure milk This is
one of the most important matters we
have to handle, and the general public
does not appreciate the situation as it
should. l would advocate a law making it
an offense for any man to keep ticky
COW. 1t is not only cruelty to animals,
but is dangerous to the health of the COM
munity.
Il am here now to confer with the
city and county boards of health on plans
of regulating the matter
Henry NJ. Vandeputte of Cullman, one
| of the most expert vegetable and fruit
men in the state, was in Birmingham yes
| terday.
"Hanceville. 10 miles south of CulIman
|
| is rapidly coming to the front as a straw
berry producing community said Mr..
| Vandeputte. THE farmers in that section
have in already about so acres in the
berry plants, and the crop this year, in
| spite of the cold ewather a few weeks
ago, will be very large. We have already
| shipped more than five carloads from
| Hanceville, and there are several cars yet
| to go out before the crop is all gathered.
1.-The industry is comparatively new in
4 this immediate section. The acreage will
be largely increased next year. The soil
has been found to be remarkably well
adapted to the growing of the berry, and
the industry promises to become very
important

Engine With Cracked spokes

There seems to be a decided difference
of opinion as to whether it is dangerous
to use a railway locomotive with seven
OF more cracked spokes in one of it's big
driving wheels.
On the surface the layman would I'M
cuestionably pronounce 1t hazardous.
Some technical experts, however, take
the other view.
A few days ago Southern railway
engine, pulling passenger train from
Columbus to Atlanta, stopped near this
city to repair broken valve. Some of
the passengers got out and looked
around they spent some time watching
the engineer at work on his machine.
Incidentally, they noticed that more
than half the big spoSes in the driving
wheels on the left-hand side of the en-
CINE were cracked, some of them all the
way through. A. l.. Thayer of Boston,
Mass, thought it was dangerous to run
an engine in that condition and reported
the matter to the railroad commission as
soon as he arrived in Atlanta.
The commission sent its INSPECTOR M.
C.. Kollock, to take look at the engine
He did so and reported that the spokes
we're cracked all right, but that, in his
opinion, the use of the engine In haul
ing passenger trains was not dangerous
He stated, however, that there were diff
ferent opinions on the subject anu that
the Western and Atlantic railroad made
1t a rule never to use an engine with
cracked spokes in the drivers.
The Southern railway engine in ques-
tor was continued in the service
The commission felt, however. that II
should go deeper into the question. so II
has summoned the Southern railway tc
show cause on May 90 why the use OF
the engine in Its present state should
not he ordered discontinued.

HOke Smiths Intentions

There are all sorts of rumors going
intentions of former Gov. Hoke Smith.
One was to the effect that his an
nouncement would be forthcoming Mon
day afternoon, but it did not come
Another is that his announcement for
noon a few more hours will develop the
truth or error of 1t.
Upon the subject OF his purpose Gov
ernor Smith is inexorably silent. Re
porter after reporter has gone to him in
the effort to get some statement or in
dication as to his plans, but all any of
them have got Is a reply somewhat on
this order:
IT cannot discuss politics with you.
Whatever statement I may have to make
shall prepare and furnish to all the
newspapers at the same time"
Governor Smith would give no indica-
ton as to just when that statement may
be expected, though there is every rea-
son to believe it will be forthcoming
within the next few days.
The rumor circulators, however, always
seem confident that they have the sit
uation down correctly. They have al
ways Just got 1t from a man who talked
with a man who is an intimate political
friend of the former governor"
Altogether, though, there is smoke
enough in the political atmosphere on
the ex-governor's side of the fence to
indicate the decided probability of a gov
ernorship candidacy conf1agration, liable
to burst forth at any moment.
1t is stated Governor Smith has been
receiving some urgent and lengthily
signed petitions, in addition to number
of delegations who have called on him
with the view of getting him into the
race.
And if he runs there is still every
indication that he and Gov. Joseph M.
Brown will be the only candidates. In
fact, the prospect now is for another
Hoke Smith-Joe Brown campaign, not
unlike, in the manner of it's conduct, the
campaign between them in 1908.

DETECTIVE So RAY
DISASTROUS
Investigation of Fluids Ad-
vertised May Be Made
and Published.

Two fruit growers were in the Of
flee of the secretary of the CONNER
cial club this morning and were
comparing experiences of the year.
One of them told story of how his
crop for the year has been almost
ruined by the worms because his
spray material was ineffective. He
sprayed five times with the most ex-
pensive fluid he could find in the
city. He selected the most expen-
sive on the theory that the more he
paid the better it should be. The
result is that 35 out of SO boxes of
his crop are wormy.
His neighbor only sprayed twice
and used a different brand of fluid
on each half of the orchard. The
half which was sprayed by the ex-
pensive fluid is very wormy, while
the other half is almost free from
worms
The rancher has told his story to
Inspector Darlington, who has de-
clared his inclination to make an
analysis of all spraying fluid adver-
tised for sale in this valley and make
report for the benefit of the grow
ers.
Secretary Coburn recommended to
the ranchers that they attend the
meetings of the club and ask for the
appointment of a committee to take
up this matter, conducting an inves-
tigation and making a report. His
idea is that the ranchers through
the club have an opportunity to
unite at any time to investigate any
abuses which are general in char
acter and provide speedy and eff
fectual remedy.

F. w. Graham, western immigra-
ton agent of the Great Northern
railway, is in the city today He
| comes with baggage car which is
| now on the side tracks for the pur-
pose of receiving a large collection
of exhibits from North Central
| Washington. The car will be loaded
tonight and attached to the fast mail
going to st. Paul early in the morn
ing. A large number of grains from
the Mansfield section will come down
on the night train and loaded on the
baggage car. Mr. Graham and Sec
| rotary COburn, of the Commercial
club, are out in the valley today
gathering up fruit and vegetables to
be shipped on the car tonight.
immigration Agent Leedy wired
Mr.. Graham that more exhibits are
needed for the eastern fairs, which
are in full swing at this time. He
begs for hurry-up stuff.
The Washington exhibit car is
billed for Springfield, O., September
9 to IL; GAINESVILLE, September Is to
16, and Powell, September 20 to
23d. In will then return to Spokane,
arriving not later than October /,
and will be restocked with fresh
fruits and vegetables for the long
winter run.
Mr.. Graham is preparing for the
demonstration train which will be
here next week. He considers this
train of very great educational value
to North Central Washington. The
corps of instructors includes the fol-
lowing: Prof R. w. Thatcher, head
of agricultural work, w. S. c., Pull
man; Prof. Leonard Hegnaurer,
agronomist; Prof. c. C. Thorn, soil
physicist; Prof. w. S. Thornberg,
chief horticulturist w. S. c.; w. G.
Briefly, instructor in horticulture
w. S. c.; B. l.. Steele, in charge of
Home Electric Lighting plant; w. D.
Foster, superintendent of farm ex-
pertinent station; R. C. Ashly, as
sistant superintendent Farmers in
stitute
East of the mountains the Dry
Farming congress. which will be
held in Spokane at the time of the
demonstration tour, has been invited
to furnish representatives as in
structors on this train.
Mr.. Graham urges the ranchers so
far as possible to bring a few sam
pies of exhibition fruit or vegetables
or gains when they come to attend
the lectures and demonstrations. If
each one will bring two or three ap-
pies or as many potatoes or other
vegetables, besides a sheaf of grain
the aggregate will be AN enormous
amount and will supply the immi-
grafton department amply for the
exhibition they are making in the
east. For the purpose of receiving
| these exhibits contributed by the
ranchers, the demonstration train
will carry an extra baggage car.
Stops will be made and lectures
given at principal stations between
Leayenworth and Spokane, begin
ming Saturday, September II. On
that day the train will appear in
Leavenworth, Cashmere and Wenat-
chez. Remaining here over night it
will then go eastward.
