Cotton Coming Along

With cotton coming in at what may be termed a rapid rate, business is showing activity in all lines, and there is an air of hustle and move in the city that was not so noticeable a few weeks ago when the weather was warm. The coming of the first of October makes also for live times, as this is the beginning of tho renting season, and the real estate men make not only many rent leases but not a few sales as well.
 Commissioner of Agriculture J. A. Will kinson Is not cheerful about the Ala bama cotton crop. In fact, he states 1t is hardly 70 per cent of normal. On the uplands it has stopped making, having turned yellow and lost vitality Lowlands. where fertilization was kept up, growth is still going on. but even here it Is backward and unenthusiastic in develop ment. Many fields are open entirely. As rule there Is plenty of labor. and in the main the crop is being sold as picked.

COTTON MOVING BRISK

Montgomery, September 15-fSpecal). Frank N. Julian, state commissioner of insurance, calls J. O. Thompson, the nominee of the regular republicans for governor to time on his remarks about insurance. and the sending away of money for that class of protection T have just read with great amusement the speech of acceptance of J. o. Thomp- son. says MT. Julian, in a letter to Jesse Stallings, chairman of the state canl- paign committee of the democracy. T note that, like a good republican, he has swiped the policy pursued by the in- surance department for the past three years and proceeds to lecture the people of the south along certain lines"
 MT. Julian recalls that in 190S in an in terview in a Montgomery paper, he laid out lines in this behalf and suggests that mo doubt this is where MT. Thomp- son first gained his information" Con- tinuing, he says: "The fact that great strides have been made in this state for the past few years by the insurance in- stitutions Is a matter of great satisfac- tion. and the growth of these institutions
 
 tion, rather than a republican adminis- tration. There are today in Alabama three legal reserve life insurance com panies, four legal reserve five insurance companies, three legal reserve casualty insurance companies and half dozen or more strong industrial insurance com- panies, four legal reserve fire insurance liberal statutes passed by democratic leg islatures.''
 Unwilling to concede originality in any measure, MT. Julian concludes his letter to Chairman Stallings as follows: "The fact that Alabama has within the last few years taken the front rank in the matter of insurance, and also in insur- ance legislation, no doubt inspired the paragraph in MT. Thompson's speech. If you so desire I will be glad to furnish your committee with insurance statistics during my administration of this office, showing that the very thing that Mr. Thompson demands Is now in full force and effect'
 In answer to the letter Chairman Stall ngs thanks MT Julian for the facts, and remarks that MT. Thompson seems to have great adaptability for making mistakes of this kind. He assures MT. Julian that all the facts will be put into the hands of the speakers.

 This is essentially the home of the ostrich, and over 5000 feathermakers about .hIee-quarters of the entire number in the United States are in the valley: they live Tn the open the year round and require little more than alfalfa for feed. The profit from the feather crop is soout S25 n year from each bird. Tn another Afri- can product is the valley making headway. Dates are being grown suC cessfulIy and though the industr.

THOMA COMPANY OPENS
 NEW BUSINESS HOME
Everything Electrical is to Be Found in West Adams Street Es-
 tablishment.

Changing its name and changing it's location, the F. Thoma Electric and Manufacturing company. yes6r- day opened it's new home in West Adams street and at once assumed a position in the front ranks of cleo trical concerns in the southwest. No more completely equipped establish ment of it's kind is to be found this side of Los Angeles and the institu- ton. for such it is. at once becomes a valuable adjunct to the industries of Phoenix and Maricopa county.
 When Mr. Thoma threw open the doors of his new store yesterday 1t was with a feeling of pride and sat isfaction, and this pride and satis- faction grew as the day progressed and scores of friends and old custom erg greeted him in his new business home. And little wonder that words of praise and approval should reach his ears as party after party inspect ed his thoroughly modern display of almost everything electrical.
 The building had been erected eX- pressly for Mir. Thoma and with an eve to his needs. He had imported a stock of fixtures and supplies sec ond to none in this section and the good taste evidenced in the arrange ment appealed at once to the finer ssensibilities Today Mir. Thoma IS in a position to furnish anything to

Some of these have hitherto been unknown in Phoenix. being the latest in electrical equipment. and which because of their usefulness are bound to grow in popular favor as the general public becomes more fam iliar with them.
 Taken all in all the new business home of the E. Thoma Electric and Manufacturing company is one of the most attractive establishments in Phoenix and we'll worth visit at any time.

TRADE SECRETARY WRITES FOR PROMINENT JOURNAL
A Finely illustrated Article By Harry WeIch Appears in National IT,
 eation Journal.

The August number of the National Irrigation Journal, published in Chi cago, contains on the cover page a very fine color reproduction of the Granite Reef dam. It is a three -color half tone and beautifully printed. One of the main articles of the magazine is description of the Roosevelt dam and the Salt River v.IIey by Secre- tary Harry Welch of the local board of trade. In addition to Mir. Welch's picture, which adorns the page, there are many reproductions of familiar scenes in the valley and irrigation pictures.
 MT Welch's article is short and convincing. It is herewith reproduced:
 With me along some strip of her haze strown, that just divides the de- sert from the sown, wrote Omar eight hundred years ago. Ages be- fore that time a race of husbandmen inhabited the Salt River valley and departed, leaving only the lines of their irrigation canals and few inn plements and gems to puzzle the archaeoIogist and scientist. Today, irrigation invites you to witness the wonderland it has created in the heart of the great Southwest, in the land of little rain.
 The lasting good that is to result from the great projects now under construction, making possible an an sWer to the appeal for the land" can now only be faintly hinted at. The benefits are multiform and knit into the general progress of the nation, and any improvement in conditions now points directly or indirectly to the results of irrigation and develop ment It is part of our vitality; it is the renewal of our energy, and will provide another mainstay in contin- ual national supremacy.
 Individually considered. all of the projects have their own unique at fractions. The premier project, the one now nearing completion in the Salt River valley, is most in the pub lie eye Work was commenced soon after the passing of the Reclamation Act in 1902 and in February of next year it is hoped that our late presi- dent. Theodore Roosevelt, will in pr son attend the formal opening.

AN UNFORTUNATE EXPIRES.
SION.

Hon. John Sharp Williams was
most decidedly unfortunate in his re-
cent interview on the senatorial situa-
tion in Mississippi. Our high esteem
for his most admirable qualities had
led us to hope that he had been mis-
quoted, but his disavowal Of the senti-
ment expressed not having come, we
can only assume that he spoke as
quoted. A neat retort was handed
him in The News Scimitar of Tuesday
by Judge j. W. Buchanan Of this city.
MIR. Williams having stated that in the
recent primary the people of Missis.
sippi had shown that they did not
want Gov. Vardaman for senator.
Judge Buchanan insists that by the same
token, inasmuch as Williams defeated
Vardamnn by but a very small majori-
ty. these same people did not " ant

Williams started out quite happily,

at that very spot. But not SO. He
went right ahead and did what he had
just shown was unbecoming. He
"butted in" and did SO very ilItemper-

he defeated Gov. Vardaman some two
years ago. the latter, with courtly grace
and in most admirable temper, con-
ceded his own defeat and without one
whimper turned his face to the future.
Certainly, whether or not he be SO

jackson, Miss, Jan. 1.-THE men,
bers of the house of representatives
lost sight OF the all-pervading sena-
torial situation and scramble today for
awhile today, and debated and subse-
quently passed the Burkitt bill for the
support OF the common schools. This
bill carries larger sum than has been
included in the school appropriation
bill since 1900, and this created some
sntagonism and it as thought at one
time that it would be indefinitely tied
up or else changed and hashed up by
amendments, but such fate was
averted. as the vote on final passage
Of IS yeas to nays demonstrated.
The bill carries total of S3,000,-
600 for the biennial period. and it is
stated will be a great boon to the de-
partment OF education in carrying on
of the work in the rural and separate
school districts.
The session Of the craze was de.
void Of feature, the body being in ses-
sion about twenty-five minutes. 1t is

LARGEST SHIPMENT EVER

$4,000 Worth of Shoes In Last

What was undoubtedly the largest
hipment in any line of merchandise
ever made out of St. Louis was made
~ the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Compa-
ny during the last half Of December.
The enormous actual shipments of
10000 per day in shoes is unheard Of
in the annals of St. Louis merchandise
ing. Every pair of these shoes were
shipped on actual demand from retail
merchants. and foretells tremendous
volume for the year 1910. The peo-
pie Of St. Louis are accustomed to
reading Of large annual gains in shoe
shipments. but this is the only instance
Of where an actual gain Of 100000
in shipments was made in a period of
sixteen business days.
If some Of our Eastern friends who
we're inclined to dispute the suprema.
cy Of St. Louis as the Worlds Great
est Shoe Market could but read these
figures they would readily acknowledge
that as a shoe market and manufactur-
ing center ST. Louis ranks first.
