FARMERS URGED
TO HOLD COTTON

Florence, S. c., September 17.-E D.
Smith, United States senator from
South Carolina, in an interview given
out today, advised the farmers of the
south to combine and hold their cotton
for a fair price, which he estimates at
20 cents a pound Mr. Smith also
sharply criticised the trainers of the
Payne Aldrich tariff law and censured
Attorney General Wickersham for his
prosecution of the so-called bull clique
in the cotton market. Mr.. Smith based
his advice on reports from all the inn
portant cotton growing states.
In regard to holding cotton for high
er prices Mr. Smith said:
Il shall not attehnpt to dictate to
the farmers of the south, but under the
circumstances l would be delighted to
see them combine and hold their cotton
from the market wherever it is posi-
BILE to do so, until 1t shall bring such
price as shall measure the artificial
price placed upon manufactured ar
ticles by virtue of the tariff.
MY honest conviction is that 20
cents a pound for the present crop is
not too high, in view of the supply, the
cost of production, the comparative
value of cotton with other textiles and
the artificial price that now obtains on
manufactured goods

REVIVAL BEGINS AT
18TH AVENUE CHURCH

Large congregations are expected at
the first days meetings of the revival
which is to be held during the next
two weeks at the Eleventh Avenue
Methodist church, Eleventh avenue and
Twelfth street, south.
The preaching is to be done by the
Rev. G. A. Klein, the Tennessee evan
gelist. and the singing will be led by
the Rev. and Mrs. A. ]. Notes.-The, Cos
pei singers of wide reputation.
The first meeting of the series will
be held this morning at II o'clock. The
meetings will be held daily during the
revival at IL a. m. and 7:45 p. m.
The services today will be made
especially attractive by the rendition
of special numbers by the regular quar-
tet. At the morning service the
quartet, will sing, What Are These
That Are Arrayed?" by stainer. and 81
Lay My Sins on Jesus" by Tours
Nevin. At the evening service the
quartet will render, abide With Me-
by Lincoln. For the oOertory Miss Ma
rfe Reynolds. contralto, will sing. Eye
Hath Not Seen" by Gaul.
Miss, Reynolds, who has been en-
gagged as contralto soloist at the Elev-
enth Avenue church for the coming
season. is a decided acquisition to Biz
mingham's musical circles, having sung
for the past two years in one of the
largest churches in New Orleans. She
has a voice of wide range and beau
tiful quality. and has already made
many friends in this city.

been greater progress In the meat anu
milk inspection work. Giving the tu-
berculoss test to our dairy cattle has
been a great step forward, while the
adoption of score cards for dairy In
spection work has been of inestima-
BILE value In producing a wholesome
rivaly between dairymen and in giving
the public a definite idea of the COM
parative standing of the various dairy
men. 1t may not be out of place at this
point to emphasize the necessity of pro-
yiding adequate salaries for our dairy
inspectors.
'These men give the city longer
hours than do any of its other em-
ployes. They frequently put in from
IA to 16 hours daily. In order to continue
the advance already begun in dairy in
spection work we must have better sal
aries for these men. This report would
not be complete without some reference
to certified milk. While great improve
ment has occurred in many of our diaries
during the past year, I think there can
be no doubt that the establishing of a
certified dairy is of greater Importance
than any other advance that has been
made. The fact that Birmingham is as
sured a supply of reliable milk for
babies and invalids will not only lower
our death rate but will prove itself to be
a great financial asset to our city, De-
cause of the fact that good people will
be influenced to come to city that pro-
vides for the welfare of its babies.
Another matter of direct interest
from a public health standpoint Is that
of dust laying. We are for behind
the times in regard to keeping down
dust, and yet this is a matter that has
direct bearing on the health of our
citizens Since the application of oil
to macadam streets has passed the
experimental stage and has proven of
such signal benefit, not only in keeping
down dust, but In preserving life of
the roadbed, there is no longer any rea-
son why our macadam streets should
be covered with the coating of fine
dust that is present on practically all
of them. With the streets taken care
of there would be less dust to accumu-
late on our paved streets. and little
increase in the amount of water used
by our sprinkling carts in town, used
by our street gangs, would give us a
city practically free from dust"
