WALKER

Jasper, November 5.--(Special l--"The general condition of the farmers of Walker county, as compared to this time in 1909, is most excellent" remarked W. w. Milford. president of the Walker County Farmers union, and manager of the large warehouse in Jasper owned by that organization.
 while the cotton crop is short of that of 1909, the good price paid for the staple now will offset the lack of quanti- ty The planters have paid more atten- ton to corn, hay and food crops, all of which have yielded abundantly For the first time in many years the farmers of Walker county nave produced enough corn for their own use with some re- maining for sale. Considerable attention has also been paid this year to wheat growing and the success which has crowned this effort is going to greatly stimulate the more extensive raising of wheat in the future'
 A G. Preston, manager of the Jas per Trust company, in speaking of the general financial and industrial oondi- ticns. said "The banks of Walker coun- ty find their patrons in much better circumstances than in November, 1909. Papers are being met promptly and there will be but very few mortgage fore closures. Our savings department books show a strict economy and spirit of determination to accumulate that has never been so evident before. The coal mines and lumber mills have been run ming full time all summer. Everything gives emphasis to the fact that Walker conditions here are much better than a year ago.

MIXED ESTIMATES
 ON COTTON CROP

New York, November 5.-There has been wide swing of quotations. but the net result for the week is rise. Re- cent favorable weather. some very cheer ful crop estimates, and rumored crop guesses by certain people at the south Of 13,00O,00 to 13,2O0,00O bales, together with rumors that the National Ginners' association was to put out big figures as the total quantity ginned up to No- vcmber l, undoubtedly have had a more or less depressing effect So has large liquidation from time to time, attributed to big operators who seem to have been scalping the market on large scale.
 Moreover selling on stop-loss orders has at times had more or less disor- ganizing effect. Fall River has been dull cannot be produced at profit with raw material ct the present level of prices. Southern hedges selling has counted for not a little.
 Speculation, too. las suffered from the violent swings of quotations. In such circumstances it has been more a game for the big than for the little traders The conviction is strong that the recent killing frosts, with temperatures in some cases well below the freezing point. could have but one result. and that is the end ing of growth over the greater part of the cotton states of the south
 In such circumstances they are dis posed to believe that the crop Is not more than 100000 bales and more like ly something under this figure. They also scout Ellison's estimate of the worlds consumption of American cotton, II 600 bales. They think the real fig ures will be much larger. They also maintain that before the close of the season the prices of the raw material will have reached very much higher level

TERRIFIC STORM
 DAMAGES NOME

Nome, Alaska, November 5.-A terrific surf. unaccompanled by wind or disturb ance in the air, swept the beach and across the Nome sand pit yesterday, de- stroying two houses and 15 cabins and doing great damage to shipping. Sev- eral schooners were wrecked.
 No lives were lost, but many persons had narrow escapes. The water swept the streets, through the shore being com pletely inundated. Late last night the surf began to subside.
 No one here is able to account for the phenomenon, which some attribute to submarine volcanic action and others to the recent eclipse. The water rose to the highest point ever seen here, reach- ing far above the marks made when Behring sea and Norton sound are lashed into fury by the Arctic storms
 During the storm yesterday the schoon- moorings by the mighty rush of water and deposited in pit dwellers yard. All the other boats laid up for the win- ter were swept far upon the beach by the waves.
 Cellars in the stores on Front street are full of water and the stocks soaked.
 It was only by piling sand bags about the warehouse of the Pacific Cold Stor- age company that the men were able to prevent the building from being car ried away The homeless are being cared for by their friends.
 For several months Mount Bogosloy and Mount Shishaldin, near Unimak Pass have been spouting fire and lava at short intervals. and the Bogoslov islands have been undergoing peculiar contortions.

JACKSON

Scottsboro, November 5--(Special.) )-J. W. Gay. cashier of the First National bank, said: Conditions in this county are not so good as compared with last year owing to the fact that crops are about 9 or 90 days late. Collections are fairly good. Money demand is not so great. There is disposition on the part of the people not to go in debt any more than absolutely necessary On whole the conditions will be about the same as last year. More corn will be harvested and less cotton by about one-half"
 Skelton Brothers said: We have sold more goods this year than last. but we attribute it to corn and hay, having sold over $65, 600 worth of corn. Our other sales have been about as last year. Our col. lections are fairly good as cotton is slow coming in The outlook is not bright"
 E.sC. Snodgrass, one of the large plant CTS of Larkins' Landing. said: About half a cotton crop will be made in this section. More corn will be harvested by some than last year, others will have to buy again for next years crop Tha conditions as compared with last year will be hardly an average. Collections are slow"

Anniston, November 5-(Speclal.) )-That cotton is king and that the prosperity or adverslty of the farmer of every coun- ty means identical conditions in every other line of human activity, seems to have been demonstrated more strongly this year than ever before in the Anniston district. where the crops are in good condition, with the result that the farrn- CTS, merchants. bankers and others are optimistic over the fall outlook"
 ". NJ. Thweatt, a prominent farmer and merchant of NfcFall said: My bus hess was never better. and I find collec- tions almost ideal. The cotton crop Is better than last year and had it not been for the recent cold wave, the increase would have amounted to 20 per cent oyer 1909. but the freeze did greater damage than most men believe. l have been over the district and find that all basin and bottom cotton has been curtailed by 50 per cent. This means better prices, how ever. and when this fact i, added to an increase of 50 per cent in tlie corn crop. farmers have no room to complain
 Leon Uliman, president of the Annston Merchants association, said that his bus mess is much better than last year and Joseph Saks, large dealer in men s clothing, made the same statement.
 The banking business shows a corres- bonding betterment. W. H. McKleroy, president, and c. D. Woodruff. vice presi- dent, of the Anniston National bank, stated that the business in that line of endeavor for 1910 is far better than that of 1909.

Calvin of the firm o<,Brock, Spight < Co.,, wholesale grocers, said: Our busi- ness notwithstanding competition, is be- tween 15 and 20 per cent better than at this time last year, or any previous year. Our salesmen report conditions of coun- try merchants throughout the county as exceptionally good and our collections are better than last year.
 On farming conditions, J. l.. Echols, owner of fine farm near Decatur, said: "one negro with one mule and several hoe hands cultivated 22 acres on my place and made 13 bales of cotton. We have had the finest corn crop in this county this year that I have ever known. Some of my land produced Go bushels to the acre. Recent frost did some dam age, but in my opinion. we will have nearly an average cotton crop in this county"
 On the financial condition Col. c. c. Harris, president of the First National bank, said: '"The prosperous conditions of the farmers, high prices paid for their products and the consequent prosperity of the country merchants are increasing the business and deposits of our banks Continued good prices of cotton and its by-products should result In 0 banner year for the banks Conditions are much better than they were last year.

Russellvine, November 5.-(speeiaL)- Foster Gavin, cashier Citizens Bank and Trust company, Russellville, said: Tt would seem that conditions are better this year than last.

CUIILMA AN

Cullman, November 5.-(Special)-M
 I. Robertson, cashier of the Parker Bank
 and Trust company. of this city, said
 Money is more plentiful in Cullman this
 fall than I have ever seen it. At the
 beginning of the season there existed q fear that the scarcity Of money would
 be felt pretty severely, but this van-
 ished when the cotton season opened.
 For several seasons past we have paid
 for cotton for several weeks without feeling any results of in the way of de- posits, but within a weeks time this sea- son after we had begun paying out money for the cotton crop we began getting de- posits, and this fact within itself is suf- foient to show that the farmer, as we'll as other business men are in better con- dtion this fall than for many years
 E. c. Kinney, a prominent merchant, said: "The mercantile business has been exceedingly good this year, and far sur passes that of many seasons. l attribute this to the reason that the farmers have made a fair crop of cotton, and it is being marketed at an excellent price, do an advance business of large volume, and I can say that 10 per cent of the men who have bought goods from me on time have paid up all of their accounts for this year, and many of them have able to clear my books of debts carried over from previous years. Business for the merchant is really better than have seen 1t in several years"
 w. D. Smith, who is one of the best farmers in the county, said: ''It is my honest opinion that we farmers are go- ing to be in better condition next year than we have ever been. The farmers in my section all have plenty of hay and other feedstuffs to run them another year, besides many of them will be able to sell corn. I see no reason why the farmer should grumble this year. He has everything he wants to eat at home, and the good price he received for his cotton will give him an opportunity to have sufficient money to run him for the next year.

The recent state and county fairs which have been held in Alabama gave remarkable signs of a wave of prosperity which was sweeping over the country. The agricultural displays especially were the best ever seen in this state. Other things appeared accordingly and much has been said lately about the prosperous condition of the people of every station in life.
 The Age-Herald has completed thor ongh canvass of the larger part of the counties in the northern half of the state Men prominent in all lines of busi- ness and industry have been asked their opinion and collection of short and pointed interviews has been made. Every man was asked the same question:
 Do you believe the people of this county are more prosperous this fall than they were last year and if so, why?"
 The interviews and answers have been arranged by counties and appear as fol- lows:
