source of great revenue to those who understand the culture. One German farmer who lives a short distance from Cullman on a small truck farm, MT. Belcher by name, has banked this sea- son about $500 from the sale of potatoes alone. He only cultivated about three acres to do this. This far exceeds the cotton crop at any place in the state to the amount of acreage, and not only this, but 1t only takes about one-half the labor to produce that amount of potatoes as it does the cotton crop.

Anniston, September 13.-(Special)-- Announcement was made from an au- thoritative source here that work will begin within a very short time and be completed this year on the construc- tion of tracks for the extension of the line of the Seaboard railway to this city from Jacksonville in accordance with plans which have been under con- sideration for some time.
 The Seaboard has invested in ter minal facilities here and rights of way between this city and Jacksonville, which are valued at several hundred thousands of dollars and under. the terms of the franchise which they were granted by the city of Anniston the construction work must begin at once or they forfeit their franchise and a $5000 guarantee.
 The announcement that work will begin on the line soon is regarded as the result of visit to the city by Vice President Capps, who made a fa- vorable report to the board of directors and the announcement is but one of several tnlnBS Wnlch tend to give d bright hue to the fall outlook in An niston, the prospects here for good business conditions being better this year than for many yeare preced- ing.
 The furnace of the Anniston Iron company, the Hale Buggy company, tn e Anniston foundry and machine works. the Pan-American Manufacturing com pany, and the Lubin Manufacturing company will all begin operations in a few days.
 The complete figures show that there will be about 5000 men employed in the industries alone this winter and this fact, together with the coming of the Seaboard, has been the cause of general optimism in the Model City.

Decatur, September 12.-(Special) )-The Morgan county law and equity court convened this morning for a five weeks term. with Judge Thomas w. Vert pre- siding. There is quite large docket of cases set for trial at this time.
 One of the most interesting cases on the docket is set for trial on October 3, and is of the state vs. Bob Clemmons. This will be the second time Bob Clem- mons has been placed on trial for his life. At a former trial he was convicted of murder in the first degree and was given life sentence in the state peni tentiary. The supreme court reversed his case and sent it back for a new trial.
 Clemmons is charged with murder and arson. little over a year ago the fam fly of Tom Edmonson, including his wife, mother, two small children and himself were supposed to have been murdered and their bodies placed in their home and barn near woodland Mills, this county, and the buildings destroyed by fire.
 Bob Clemmons was tenant on the Edmondson farm and soon after the crime he was arrested and has been in the county Jail here ever since. There are some people of the opinion that Tom Edmondson committed the crime him. self and that he then escaped with his aged mother. This theory is based on the fact that no trace has ever been found of either Edmondson or his mother.
 During his long confinement in the county jail here Clemnons could have escaped several times. There have been number of jail deliveries from the county jail while Clemmons has been a prisoner there, and he could have walked out easily with the other prisoners. but he did not. He has contended all the time that he is not guilty and that in the end he will be exonerated by jury of his countrymen.
 The crime was the most horrible one ever committed in this end of the state, and at the same time 1t is in many re- spects the most mysterious. The per picking question that has never been an- swered is, what became of Tom Edmond son and his mother? If they, too, were murdered, what became of their bodies? Were they entirely consumed in the fire that destroyed their home? Scientists say that this is impossible, since a fire of the magnitude fthis one could not have totally destroyed human skeleton. In the former trial Bob Clemmons was tried for the murder of the little Ed mondson girl, part of whose body was taken out of the fire. The state never accounted for the bodies of Edmondson and his mother, nor did they try to do so,

Russellville. September 12-(Special.)-A
 large good roads rally was held at the Quinn opera house in Russellville Sat- urday afternoon at ? o'clock Charles W. Thatcher, the good roads apostle, who is advocating the building by the United States government of a 100-foot boulevard from the great lakes of Mich igan to the Gulf of Mexico, ending at New Orleans, was the speaker. and he held the audience with interest for over one hour.

 At 8 o'clock the same night MT. Thatch- CT made another interesting address in the same house, this time a number of
 ladies and children being in attendance. Mir Thatcher's tour of this county has done much good for the cause of good roads, and by the time he is ready to leave he will have a majority of the voters with minds fixed the same way in regard to the best way to improve the roads of the county.
