Soon Open With Good Attendance

Prattville, September 10-(Special.)-
During an electrical storm about eight
miles north of this place yesterday
afternoon lightning struck and killed
two mules and horse, the property of
William n. White, a prosperous farmer
of that section of Autauga county. The

and had collected under a walnut tree
for the rain when they were Killed.
The Prattville school Will open Mon
day, September IL, and quite a full at
tendence is expected. The out of-town
teachers of that school have arrived.
This is the first year in the history of
the public school of this city that 1T
has tried doing the whole work of the
school with lady teachers Miss Edna
Davis, a native of this place, was
selected as principal last May.
The high school will open on or about

". 1. SMITH LAUDS
COMMISSION PLAN

W. L. Smith, of c. D. Smith & Co.,
railroad contractors, formerly residing in
Birmingham, was here yesterday talking
good times and commission form of gov
eminent under which the city of Mem.
phis has been operating for some time
He tried to convince Mayor-elect Gull
pepper Exum that the commission form
OF government was the only way and re-
oeived a promise from Birningham's next
Mayor to visit Memphis and look into
operation under the new laws.
In speaking of business he said:
II believe the conditions are very good
for fall business as work seems to be
opening up and every assurance is given
that trade will be very brisk this fall.
The cotton crop of the SOUTH l believe,
will be worth 5000, ,OOO and that one item
will bring Prosperity to us. The condi-
tions all along the line are excellent for
fine returns this fall
The commission form of government
seemed to be the real hobby of the for
mer Birmingham citizen and In speaking
of this he said:
1.-The commission form of government as
carried out In Memphis is crackerjack.
I have never seen a municipal govern
ment operated with such results as our
city under the present plan. We have
performed wonderful things since work
ing on this basis. We have three COM
nissioners who give their whole time and
attention to the city and are to be found
hard at work all the time. When they
are not at the city hall you may be sure
that the commissioners are out on the
works somewhere handling problems of
great consequence to the city and the
taxpayers. The commissioners have GER
tain hours during which they may be
found at the city hall. After this they
are 'on the job
II have just been talking to Guile
Exum, who is to be your next Mayor, and
he tells me that he will come over to
Memphis and investigate the Memphis
plan. l am not trying to convert any one
to my way of thinking, but simply wish to
point out some very interesting facts in
connection with our city that can speak
for themselves.
az was glad to see Birmingham vote
overwhelmingly for this plan and l hope
to see this city placed under 1t. II this
Is done threee men can take charge and
make of Birmingham the very best town
in the state If not the south.
at am very much interested in Biz
minrham, as / formerly lived here. That
Ia why I want Mr. Exum and any one
else to come over and see an up-to-date
municipal organization as it really is"

Captain Hooper expressed mild surprise
ac the governors action, explaining that
ony one would naturally be surprised aft
er the governors recent published declar-
alton that he would not quit the race
on the victory or defeat However. the
republican nominee said that Governor
Pstterson's action would not alter his
plan of campaign particle When 1t
was suggested that it might be necessary
to somewhat revise his formal campaign
address, he said that even that would
be unnecessary, for In 1t, he said, he Is
dealing with principles. not personalities;
that criticisms he made were not of the
man. but of the official and his Off
cial acts. Though Governor Patterson is
no longer a candidate, he said, his rec

responsible for those things he criticises
in his campaign speech, which is prac-
tically finished.
Captain Hooper said that Governor
Patterson's withdrawal would mean his
(Hooper's) election in November without
opposition, for the platform on which he
was nominated is acceptable to the in
dependent democrats, he thought and he
does not believe the Independent demo-
Gratis will make a nomination, but will
remain true to the declarations of the
many counties which held conventions
last Monday"
A majority of these counties voted to
cdorse Captain Hooper at the independ-
ent democratic convention September IA.

The Cuticura treatment has absolutely cured me

with small pimples on the head of my child which
gradually broke out in sores, and it was not long
before l and my wife got the same. Our heads
were one mass Of sores, could not sleep and the
itching was terrible. We suffered for eight
months. We tried different kinds of ointments
and medicines but it did us no good and soon it
began to break out on our bodies until friend
who had the same trouble told me about Cuticura
of which used two sets of Ctfticura Soap Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Resovent, and was
surprised. After the first few days our heads be-
gan to heal and in two months we were absolutely
cured of this terrible eczema.

EAGERLY AWAIT
ORDER ON RATES

The shippers and railroad men of Bir-
mingham are awaiting eagerly the in
depreciation to be placed on the long and
short haul clause of the recent interstate
commerce commission acts, which is to
be goven about October l.
According to the general enactments of
Congress giving additional powers to the
interstate commerce commission, the
commission may exempt certain points
from the long haul rates and apply those
of the short haul to the points inland.
The Interpretation will effectively an
swer the inquiry from Ohio printed yes
terday morning of: whats the matter
with Birmingham freight rates?" For it
may be that several rates now in effect
applying to Mobile and New Orleans, as
well as other points. may be radically
changed by the ruling to be made.
1t is not to be presumed that the rul-
ing will place rail lines in position
not to compete with water line rates. as
that is the reason for cheaper rates to
the gulf cities as against Birmingham
now. 1t is said the railroads are COM
PEELED to meet water competition and are
therefore allowed TO MAKE IdlcS Wy 1eAi
to Mobile and New Orleans and other
cities the same as the water rates.
However, many cities inland that ship
TO other cities and to Birmingham Will
have their rates changed. 1t is wen
known that Birmingham is given rates
from many inland points which when
compared to rates to the inland cities
show that some cities have higher rate

e. T. Wilcox. assistant general freight
agent for the Frisco, said, in speaking OF
the ruling:
I'VE are watching the ruling from
Washington very closely. The attitude of
the commission upon the long and short
haul clause will be very valuable to some
cities and will probably change rates
in many Instances. They will have and
may exercise the power to exempt some
cities from rates applying to long haul
cities. and this will of course, benefit
the cities interested. No one can fortell
however, what the attitude of the COM
nn1nsion will be on the clause"

Our state should be governed by its

lead our people out of the boys and
mire of error into which designing and
vicious men have led them.
