LIMESTONE COUNTY FARM PRODUCTIVE
 OF WONDERFUL CROPS

Decatur, March 1S-(Special.)-As an illustration of how productive north Ala bama lands are aNd in order to prove that a man can make a good living on only small tract of land in this locality. a young man of Limestone county tried the experiment last season and proved it. He cultivated but + acres of land and, had but one mule, and did all the work himself except chopping and picking his cotton. The result was that he raised the following on his 17 acres: Forty bushels of corn, bales of cotton. 40 bushels of cotton seed, 1000 bundles of fodder, load of pea hay, loads of cut corn. 10 bushels of peas, 29 gallons of molasses. 26 bush els of sweet potatoes, 13 bushels of Irish potatoes, bushels of turnips, $10 worth of melons, and plenty of pork.
 What this young man did others can do on north Alabama farms and. according to Probate Judge William E. Skeggs, who keeps posted on the price of farm lands all over the country, farm lands can be bought here in north Alabama today cheaper than they can be bought in any other section of the United States.

POLITICS LIVELY
 IN MARENGO COUNTY

Linden, March 1S.-(Special.)-W the May primary election little over q month off. the political pot has reached a boiling heat in Marengo county. Very little interest is manifested in the se- lection of a governor and other state officers, the fight having clustered around local and district officers. Judge John T. Iackland, the present incumbent is opposed for the circuit judgeship by Go. B. F. Fillmore of this county, and a lively fight is also on between Oscar l.. Gray of Choctaw and John Mcluf- fie of Monroe county for the circuit so- licitorship The most interesting con- test to the people of this county Will be the race for judge of the recent ly established Marengo law and equity court The present judge, E. J Glider of Demopolis, is the appointee of the governor. The act creating this court divided the county into two divisions the northern and southern. The north ern division is composed of only five beats, Demopolis, Dayton, Spring Hill Macon and Faunsdale; while there are 19 beats or voting precincts in the southern division. Judge William Cum ningham of Linden has announced as the candidate from the southern divis ion, and is making his fight on the ground that the southern division is entitled to an officer of this court. It seems to be a distinct fight between the northern and southern districts and the campaign will be watched with much interest.
