POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS
BY B. G. BETTY

Montgomery, October 29-(Special.)- Tremendous possibilities of agricultural Alabama are shown by the offerings which have been made, in the shape of exhibits, at the various state fairs which have been held in the commonwealth during the past two weeks.
 While the agricultural resources of the state constitute what has been much of a topic for the past several months, it IS considered by agricultural promoters that too much cannot be said of the great i'm petus which has been given the common wealth in this respect. Every county fair held in Alabama has featured the agri- cultural exhibits above all other attrac- tions. At the fair in Birmingham, re- gently held. agricultural products were given first prominence, while at the Mont gomery fair, which came to a close to- night the agricultural exhibits were not only the chief features of the exposition, but they weer also magnets which drew three-fourths of the crowd
 Owens' Criticism
 Under the supervision of Dr. Clarence J. Owens, commissioner of agriculture for
  exhibits at the Montgomery fair were gathered from every section of the state, and they included every variety of crops that are grown. Montgomery and Gull man counties again led the procession in the award of prizes, but this is as things have been for years. A keen rivalry ex ists between the counties, which Is kept so by the jealous farmers who reside in the respective sections of the state.
 pr. Owens comedies that the fairs held in Alabama will make the state material year. Despite the fact that this fall has witnessed a revival of all business and industrial growth, and despite the fact that the state Is now considered at least a third better off" now than at the same time last year, the optimism of Dr. Ow- ems leads him to the expression of this opinion
 Alabama, like the south in general, has had a great awakening. The result is that not only is the state as state, feeling the renewed commercial throb, but that the citizens, as integral parts of the state, are benefitting materially. The same condition Is true of Georgia, Louis jana, Tennessee, the Carolinas and all of the southern states. Data compiled by the Southern Commercial congress fur nish positive proof that the awakening is here"
 Instructive Features
 Educational advantages of the state fairs are considered of the utmost im- portance, aside from the general im-

 Before that Time
Special from United Press.)

Jersey City, June 2S.-Porter Charl- ton, confessed murderer of his wife, whose body was found in Lake Como, Italy, was arraigned before Judge Blair in the court of Oyer and Terminer to- day and remanded to the county jail until July 8, after a promise from his attorneys that no move would be made to secure his release on writ of habeas corpus or lunacy writ before that date. The delay was sought by Charlton's attorneys to ascertain what steps the state department will take in Charlton's extradition to Italy and to allow the alienists further time to study the prisoners mental condition.
 Charlton was present in court. He showed no interest in the proceedings and kept his eyes fastened upon the floor during the entire hearing
 The prisoner objected to having handcuffs placed on him while being taken from the Hudson County jail to the courthouse so Sheriff Kelly took him without the handcuffs.
 After the hearing R. Floyd Clark, of counsel for the prisoner, declared he didn't believe Charlton would ever be sent back to Italy for trial.

 Berlin, June 2S.-Germany is today in the midst of a political upheaval that has not been rivalled since Prince Bismarck was dismissed from office. Chancellor Bethmann-Holweg has re- vealed himself an unexpectedly strong politician, backing Kaiser Wilhelm in one of the most broadcast cleaning up of state offices that has marked the rule of Wilhelm, the "unexpected.'
 The latest dismissal was that of Baron Won Rheinbaden, Prussian min ister of state and finance. His "resig- nation" was nothing more than curt note of dismissal
 The other ministers who have thus summarily been removed from office by the Kaiser are Won Moeltke, Arnim, and Won Schoen and other changes in high places in the government are admitted in court circles to be immi- nent.
 placed within the past month and with the exception of Minister Dein- berg, whose resignation was entirely voluntary, the other designations were simply unceremonious dis e arges.
 In political circles it is admitted that the dismissal of Rheinbaden was a clever coup for Bethmann-Holweg, as Rheinbaden was regarded as being the most likely successor of Bethmann- Holweg for the chancellorship.
 Herr Won Schoen, who was dismiss ed from the foreign office, will be sent as minister to France, succeeding Min ister Rado1in.
 In the midst of this political crisis which he has brought about the Kali ser is today sailing his American built yacht, the Meteor, against the American yacht Westward and oth- CTS.

Alma Mater! We have gathered
 Meath thy sheltering care today, To exchange our happy school years
 For life's broader, deeper way Like a mother thou hast taught us,
 When our faltering lips were slow, Urged us onward, pushed us forward, Placed our feet where they should go. Pointing ever onward, upward,
 To the noblest, highest end, Cheering, guiding and protecting,
 Tnou mast been our constant friend. So the gladSome years are over.
 We have reached our goal at last. Now we thank thee most sincerely
 For thy blessings in the past Heavenly Fatheri Aid, direct us.
 Loving benediction shower Ger our school and fondest class
 mates,
 Keep us ever meath thy Power. Help us to begin our journey
 With this destined end in view: Something nobler, something grander
 Than the present to pursue.
 There were some innovations last evening, paramount among them be- ing the method of distributing the diplomas, the fact that the exercises occupied only two hours, and the joyful cheering, supplemented by the school yell, which was accorded the masculine prize winners at the con- clusion of the program.
 A brief congratulatory reception was held by the class at the con clusion of the exercises, the locus of the same being divided between the stage and the foyer.
