IS GETTING RICH

 Unique Industry MARKET IS IN BOSTON
Hurries It to the Eastern Mar ket Where It Brings
 Fine Prices
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

Louisville, Ala, December 19.-(Special) Smitherson?'
 'Smilax,' replied that gentleman, and his wife bowed her head in accord
 Yes continued MT. Smitherson, when we fabricate a coat of arms and pretend that it was used by our ancestors. it would be appropriate to incorporate a bunch of smilax, with holly grouped ar tistically about it." And then leaked out the story of one man in Alabama who makes use of the eyes with which he is blessed.
 To begin with, MT. Smitherson has a bounteous store of the goods of the world. His home, though several miles from this little city, is constructed along the lines employed by metropolitan ar chitects. Around him are several hun dred acres of rich land. He has several fine horses, finds pleasure in keeping number of thoroughbred cows, and the grunting of his pigs resembles the pop ping of corks in Delmonicos. Around his porch in the sun are a number of fine bird dogs, for MT. Smitherson, as every other "old-time southern gentle man." finds his greatest pleasure in search of the partridge. MT. Smitherson Is one contented man in this-Barbour- county. There are few like him in Ala bama.
 But it was not always so. Only few years ago he gave up the tilling of the acres left him by his father, for in the raising of cotton he despaired of ever reaching that state of plenty to which his intellect entitled him. So he dis posed of all but a few hundred acres and gave his entire attention to corn, to horses to cows, to hogs and chickens.
 Not his entire attention, for there is the smilax.
 And when MT. Smitherson told his story the wonder grew why every man in the rural districts is not following his lead. Smilax has grown in the woods of the southern states forever. Nowhere is hol- ly of more luxuriant growth. There has always been Christmas market for smiax, and New Years market The
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-12-20

prices have always been good. Custom CTS have never been hard to find.
 But 1t is probable that no other man in Alabama ships that natural decoration to eastern markets. It is certainty that no other man in Alabama has made it an industry-and a business.
 After supper MT. Smitherson took his visitors to an outhouse about the size of an ordinary smokehouse., This large room was filled to the brim with smilax. Three other smilax rooms were likewise filled. Into the basement of the house the visitors were next led. and here about ten negro men and women were busily engaged in trimming the smilax and putting it into the boxes already prepared.
 The following morning IA boxes were put aboard the Central of Georgia train bound for Boston.
 '"The company to which I send this" stated the captain of new industry. has written me not to curtail, but to increase. Every leaf is marketable There no prettier decoration in the world and the east is crying for smilax. holly ana mistletoe The supply is without limit As you know, 1t grows wild everywhere ill the woods. Trees are covered from the ground to the top. All we have to do is to step into the woods and gather.
 ''In the beginning I worked alone Sometimes Mrs -Smitherson went into the woods with me and aided. We found it no more arduous than the gathering of flowers on the hllls At first was sur prised at the readiness with which the smilax was purchased. Soon I had more orders than I could fill by myself. Then grew my industry. I employed several negroes and set to work. I builded sev- the crop These negroes aid me in the po cking and the shipping. Their wages are not high and they make the extra money during the off season. Every body Is satisfied and If prospects con- tinue as good as they are now we will ship next season to several cities. At the present time we do not get outside of Boston.
 Five years ago MT. Smitherson began the shipment of smilax. He made money cleared more than s5ooo, and expects to in the very beginning. Last year he reap a harvest of $75O0 this year. Next season he plans to branch out, employ several more bodies of labor and go into the woods around other places in this county.
 At the present time he has no competi- tion. There is as much smilax in every other county as there is in this. Should MT. Smitherson in the near future be gathering smilax in every county in Ala hama and shipping 1t into every city of the east there will be no surprise For MT. Smitherson Is making use of his in tellect while his neighbors are attempt ing to pay off old mortgages by raising cotton.

Supreme Court Called

Montgomery. December 19.-tspecial.)- Third division cases were taken up when the Alabama supreme court reassembled at the capitol today, after a rest of near
 Iy three weeks. The docket for the week bids fair to be a fairly heavy one, with few interesting cases to be submitted. The most interesting of such cases. in all probability, will be submission of rec crds in the judgeship contest between w. H. Thomas and Gaston Gunter, both of Montgomery in which both are contend ing for the judgeship of the Montgomery city court. Recently Mir. Gunter was de- ciared judge by Circuit Judge A. E. Gam ble. from which decision an appeal is taken. Counties included in the third di vision are Autauga, Butler, Conecuh. Es. cambia and Lowndes, in addition to Montgomery.

FRANKLIN COUNTY
 IS PROSPEROUS

Russellville, December 19.-(Special.)- For the wonderful advancement in Franklin countys mineral and agricul- tural resources for the year Just passing into history this part of the state is thankful at Christmastide of the year 1910.
 The passing out Of the old year marks the closing date of some vast additions to Franklin county's already rich re- sources. This year the mines of the Russellville Iron, Ore and Metal com pany, the name since being changed to the Alabama Fuel and Iron company, were opened and this new addition to the iron industry has shown conclusive ly that iron in paying quantities and sufficient for working can be found in the county out of the immediate Rus sellville district. These mines have been pronounced by experts to be the best equipped and most up to date in tho south, and the company is more than repaid for the expenditures made In the district.
 Not only In iron has the progress for
 
 past few months several companies have slowly and quietly secured options on thousands of acres of valuable lands and are now boring for oil and gas, this giv- ing an assurance that somewhere be- meath the ground in this county can be found another mineral excelling in many respects the famous beds of iron.
 This year has been one of progress for the mercantile and financial inter- ests. The banks have shown a steady growth during the entire year and the merchants have been well cared for by the farmers and others. A number of new stores will open in the city about January 1.
 Centered In the middle of the group of industries and interests which have pros pered In the county during the year is the farmer. He has reaped abundance from his fields by making study of the soil, and corn cribs and smokehouses are filled to overflow.
 Not least in the progress of the county during the past year was the wonderful advancement in fruit growing. The Franklin County Fruit Growers associa- tion has planted out thousands and thou sands of Elberta peaches, Kieffer pears and fine apple trees during the past two years, and the first fruit from these trees will be reaped the coming year If seasons suitable for fruit growing are had

KNOWS TIE
 POLITICAL GAME
Withholds Appointments Until
 Legislature Meets
COMMENDED
TACTICS
Pass Favored Bills Before He Takes Chance of Making Enemies
 By Appointments
BY BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery, December 19.-(Special.) Around the capitol the opinion prevails that Gov.-elect Emmet O'Neal will not announce his appointments until the legislature has been in session long
 enough to push through certain bills that are favored by the incoming execu- tive. Whether or not there is any substantial ground for the entertain
 ment of such ideas cannot be ascer- tained here, speculation alone filling in the gap.
 Friends of the incoming governor say
 that he Is wise in withholding his an- nouncements. and offer as a reason the fact that with the appointments an- nounced his control over the legislature
 would not be as great as would his influence with the appointments un- known. It Is pointed out that the poll tical game is ruthless in so far as the great majority are concerned, and that friends, no matter how easily made, may turn at times to meet their own needs. It is known that for every of- fee at the capitol which is to be filled by Governor O'Neal, there are in the neigh borhood of 10 or 12 friends of the
 incoming executive who are applicants.
 Each applicant, of course, entertains
 the opinion that he Is best fitted for the office at stake, hence the losers are in
 the nature of things lead to entertain
 the belief that they have been per sonal1y affronted in not being given the appointments. Even the stauchest sup porters, under such circumstances may be so chagrined as to withdraw what ever influence they may wield over the | legislators who are indebted to them for past favors.
 Colonel ONeal is being commended
 for the stand which he has taken with
 respect to his appointments. While his
 attitude Is not taken to mean any dis
 trust of his friends, it Is neverth eless
 deemed as a position of valor. With
 such measures on the statutes as the
 executive desires to see there, the state
 can best adjust itself to his adminis-
 tration. and to the carrying out of the
 pledges which the governor-elect made | his constituents in the recent cam paign. The successful candidate has | repeatedly announced that he intends to stand by the platform adopted at the Montgomery convention, and those who doubt of the result. Prosperity and progress are expected to follow in the wake of the new administration, bring | ing with them an era of rest from | political turbulence.
