G dAId Granite.
Bv low is the concluding part of a
g., iefh recently delivered in Roches-
tG N. Y, by J. C. Thorn of the Wins
boro Granite Company:
Now gentlemen. in conclusion, 1
want to mention a few things achiev-
ed one State in the South. l have
beer talking of the South generally.
Now want you to know what a single
Sta4 In that favo ed section is doing.
l shS hSll take the case of my own State
for bfcourse ones own State is al
wayJ the best State, and mine hap-
pena to be thoroughly typical of the
South. l refer to South Carolina.
When James Gordan Bennett heard
a few years ago that South Carolina
had! won the worlds contest for
yield Of corn per acre, he said, through
the New York Herald, that he was
glad to hear it, and if South Carolina
would raise more corn and less hell
we would be better off.
That was perhaps, good advice
and as far as I know was received in
good faith by all of the natives down
there, with the possible exception of
his honor, United States Senator Till
man, who continues to raise mixed
|crons- That however, Is the prero-
gatiye of the politician. Ask Uncle
Joe Cannon, or perhaps his honor,
Mayor Edgerton.
But to sum up and rapidly gentle
men, for my time must be nearly up,
l wish to say that the State Of South
Carolina leads the world in the follow
ing respects
I'VE have a man who cutivates a
abbage farm of 1000 acres and spends
$4,000 cultivating each crop.
I'VE have a man who ships 100000
900 cabbage plants year and gets for
them $4,000.
South Carolina has a single citizen
who produces annually over ten tons
of the delicious pecan nuts. 1 have
not figured out how many pints that
would be, or what a crop would be
worth at ten cents per pint, which is
the price they are bringing on the
streets of Rochester.
South Carolina has the largest cot
ton mill in the world under one roof.
1t has eleven acres of floor space and
105 900 spindles.

acre. her yield being four bales.
That, gentlemen, at the present price,
would be about $3.50, which 1 8 not
a bad return from land per acre.
I South Carolina leads the world in
the quality of sea island cotton. One
large grower of sea island, which is
the long staple cotton, made contract
two years ago to sell all of the sea
island cotton he could produce with
in the next five years from date Of
contract for 80 cents per pound. Think
Of 1t, gentlemen! Four hundred dollars
for a bale Of cotton! But such cotton!
1t Is carried to France, where 1t Is
manufactured into silk stockings and
sent back here for us to buy for our
wives and daughters at $500 and
$4OO per pair. My friend from Con-
necticut, who recalls the nutmeg days,
will appreciate this.
South Carolina also leads the
world in the yield Of corn per acre,
254 bushels. q brought proof Of this
statement, expecting that Charlie
Fields. Of Iowa would be here.)
South Carolina also leads the
world in the yield Of rice per acre and
the yield Of oats per acre.
South Carolina leads the United
States in the production of tin, in the
production Of gold least of the Rock
ies); In the production of tea, posses
ing the only tea gardens in America.
In climate conditions which are only
equalled by those Of Southern France
And the last, but not least, gentle
men, South Carolina has the largest
monument granite quarry in the
world, and the only one in the United
States whose output Is international.

Seeks Pardon for Father

Frank Williams, son of John Williams, who is serving a life sentence in the state penitentiary for the murder of State Senator Robert L. Hipp, near Joppa, in this county in 1905, is making a tour of the county in the interest of his father s freedom. The matter has been taken up again by Williams attorneys, Gaston & Pettus, of Birmingham and it has been advertised that application for his par don will be made at an early date.
 Williams was sentenced to be hanged on August 2S, 1906, at a special term of the circuit court of this county held on May 22, 1906 When the day arrived for his execution the people of Birmingham made a strong appeal for Williams to the Governor who suspended the execution for "A hours, and it was during this time that his attorneys sued out a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Samuel Weaver of the criminal court of Jeffer- son county preventing the execution for the time being. The case was one of the most eXcitable ever in the history of Cullman county, and was one Of statewide prominence. The matter went over until Governor Conner went into office and Williams sentence was com muted to life imprisonment.
 Young Williams, from that day hence | has never ceased in his efforts to secure | the liberty of his old father. Frank | Williams has great deal of sympathy | among the people of this county for his untiring interest in his fathers behalf.

Cullman, September Especial 1.-The business prospects for Cullman this fall are brighter than for years past. With bumper corn crop, a fairly good cot ton crop, an exceptionally fine hay and feed crop, and potatoes, both Irish and sweet, very prolific, there is no req son why Cullman should not enjoy pros perity this fall to the fullest extent Cullman's merchants are looking for ward to one of the best fall trades this year that has been seen in this town for many years, and are making prepar- ations to meet the emergencies of the busy season.
 Cullman has had a banner year for truck farming, especially so with the po- tato crop. The German Farmers Ship pers association has shipped from two 10 three cars per day for the last three or four weeks. H. M. Vanderputte, an independant shipper, has. probably handled the largest amount of products of this nature of any other private ship per. MT. Vanderputte alone has shipped into northern and eastern markets some thing like 20 to 30 cars of potatoes. The total amount of shipments from Gull man this season will probably reach as high as 100 cars up to date. The princi- pal shipments have been north, only about 15 cars having gone south and to Birmingham markets, and Nashville has probably received a dozen cars from Cullman this season, the principal amount going north to Detroit and Chi cago.
