"a GET-TOGETHER SPIRIT
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD

I Montgomery August 12-(Special.)-A
general feeling of good fellowship has
resulted from the meeting of the state
democrats at Blount Springs on Wednes-
day of this week. Returning pilgrims are
everywhere meeting with expressions of
approval of the sentiment that prevailed
there, and the policy of wiping out all
differences has the earnest commentator
of the citizens as a whole. 1t really and
truly looks as If there is to be happy
Family.
Lately all agree, there has sprung UP
much of an independent spirit among the
individuals of the party and one result is
to weaken the whole organization This
can be overcome by the re-establishment
of party spirit, which the leaders are go
ing out to accomplish. 1T is recognized
said one member of the committee, that
in recent years the lines have hung
loosely and the obligation to principles
has been laxly observed, and as a result
party fealty is lacking. Now, however,
st is determined to get at the people and
build again the spirit of standing to-
gether.''
1t is not going to be the purpose of the
dominant wing of the party this year or
next to make enemies. I'VE will avoid
this pttfal lof the minority said one of
them "a few enemies will make a lot
of trouble and few friends will help
out when they are needed, so it's friends
we hope to make. Because man was on
the other side of the family spat is no
reason to keep him out in the cold now
when we are all united. Democracy
means all together or nothing, and while
we may fight inside our own lines, 1t
is full lineup of opposition we desire
to present to the enemy"
In a short TIME campaign plan will be
laid out Not only will the speakers be
sent into doubtful sections, but into well
established democratic territory. 1t is
Just as much necessary to build up the
party enthusiasm In safe counties as II
Is in others, for the future must depend
upon what the active ones are doing now.
In the Fourteenth district the democratic
nominee, Sheriff Lacy, is in bad shape, his
independent opponent having good call
on him. The same thing is so In the
Cullman senatorial district, where F. e.
St. John, the democrat, is up against a
hard fight. But help is to be given to
both, and there is confidence that they
may be saved.

Cavalry VIII Remain In Service


1t seems that the proposition to muster
the cavalry squadron of the Alabama Ma
tional Guard out Of service and form a
Fourth infantry regiment will prove mere
iy soap bubbles and military politics, ac-
cording to reports by the rank and file
or Troop c., which returned Wednesday
afternoon from Admission, where the cav
airy squadron was in camp for a week.
No such thought as changing the cav
airy squadron into an infantry regiment
will be entertained it has been openly
stated
The report which has been current in
military circles throughout the state for
several weeks past that the cavalry
squadron would be mustered into an in
fantry regiment was discussed at the last
Officers meeting during the Admission en-
campment. During that meeting Major
Noble is stated to have emphatically de-
MED any such intention or inclination
upon the part of any officer of any of the
four troops to merge the squadron into
an infantry regiment
The report current here is that Major
Noble said he had been approached upon
the question, and had been offered the
office of lieutenant colonel of the infantry
regiment which would be formed. After
considering the proposition he had de-
clined and further stated he would rather
be mustered out of service and see each
troop in the squadron mustered out than
to go into the infantry service under
such conditions.

Cotton Crop in franklin

Russellville. August 2.-(Special The
cotton crop in Franklin county, while
spotted in some sections, is still maxi
ing much progress and fruiting very fast
In some sections the crop is considered
off very much and even in the very best
places 1t is off to a certain extent A
number of cotton farmers state that they
expect a decrease of about 10 per cent in
the yield This decrease will probably
make a good estimate and the crop is
sure to appear about that way. The
weed is yet about 10 to Is days behind
the general growth. A light rain is need
ed now so that it may get the best
fruiting results.

Citizens VIII BE Given Chance

The citizens of Selma will be given
an opportunity shortly by Ernest La
mar and associates to express them
selves to build the proposed railroad
from Selma to the Birmingham dis
trict. Mr.. Lamar and associates have
gone as far as they can on the work
without the expenditure of $4,000 or
$4,000. In speaking upon the matter Mr..
Lamar stated that the promoters of
the road feel that the moving in the
direction toward the. building of the
line is a direct culmina ton of the
meeting of the business men and cit
liens generally which was held at the
Academy of Music several weeks ago.
He said they were not going to take
any steps backward in the proposition
but that his associates and himself
did not feel at liberty to go ahead
with the work unless they were thor
oughly In accord with the wishes of the
people. They were anxious that all
parties be thoroughly satisfied in the
premises.
Mr.. Lamar is of the opinion that the
chamber of commerce should be con-
suited. He stated that the investi-
gators are now ready to turn ovnr to
the chamber of commerce such fnforma-
ton and facts as they have been able
to get together and then allow the
chamber of commerce to take such
steps as they think would be most de-
sirable.

Montgomery, August 12.-(Special)-
With the addition Of 1245 to the pension
roll, the state board has this week
brought the total wards of the COM
monwealth In this class up to 1929; that
is, counting out any who have died since
July 1. The counties sent up 1886 ap-
proved applications and the state board,
from the showings made, was able to
reduce this by POI, all the time believ-
ing that at least 100 more are on the
new lists who should not have been.
1t is now estimated that at least one
third of the pensioners could be cut off
IL the actual merit standard, as meas
ured by the acts, was applied. 1t Is a
sad thing to say, but the members of
the board find it so that great many
men and women almost perjure them
selves to get this small amount the state
Is able to pay to help them along. Ii
these underesrving were eliminated the
state, with its nearly $4,000 year, could
do a good part indeed by those who
would be left. Many plans are talked of
but no definite one for correcting the
trouble has been decided upon.

How TO Serve Watermelon.

"Watermelons are especially
cooling and refreshing on a hot
day because of deliciously-favor-
ed juice which they contain"
says Fannie Merritt Farmer in
Woman's Home Companion for
June. "The edible portion is
sometimes thoroughly chilled,
cut in small cubes (removing the
seeds,) sprinkled with powdered
sugar and arranged n coupe
glasses for the first course at
luncheon or dinner. For family
nse it is most attractively served
in one of the following ways:
Cut a section three or four
inches in thickness from the CEN
ter of a chilled watermelon. With
sharp knife cut out a circle of
the pink pulp (the edible por-
tion) and place upon a chilled
serving-dish OF correct size.
Serve in pie-shaped pieces on
chilled plates or cut off a thick
slice from both ends of melon
THAT the halves may stand level)
and c u t in halves crosswise.
Arrange on a serving-dish on a
bed of green leaves, if any are
at hand"

Swine at The Fairs.

If you have any animals that
are worthy of going to any fair,
better get them in shape to enter
the show ring. There is nothing
that helps the pure-bred swine
business so much as a fine dis
play of hogs at the county and
state fairs. Did you ever stop to
think that the loses with his
hogs is just as much of a booster
for the business through the fairs
as the winner?. 1t is true! Take
the hogs all away from any State
fair except the winners and see
what the papers would say about
the swine display. They would
roast it to death.
All of us cannot be at the top.
If you have good stuff you can
sell it or get in touch with the
breeders who want that sort of
animals, whether you are a win
ner or not. The men behind the
ribbons sell a great many more
hogs at the State fair than the
winners. This is so the world
over. To get a hog into a judg-
ing ring is a liberal porcine edu-
cation in itself. There is not a
breeder in the game who would
not tell you that he first made
his real start in the breeding
business when he entered his
first hog in hot company. It was
the keeping at it that made him
an eventual winner.

Poor Mule.

This is the story Of a Kansas
mule. The corn was about ready
to lay by, and his master was in
the midst of the final blowing
when the mule decided that he
was through with work. No
amount or form of moral or 9TH
er suasion could induce him to
pull the hat off your head. :"
EXasperated beyond endurance,
the master at last succeeded in
leading him to a nearby corncrib,
where he fastened him with a
log chain with the expressed in
tent of leaving him there until
he came to his senses. The day
was as hot as-Kansas. The flies
were Kansas flies and thick as
they grow in Kansas. The crib
was full of popcorn. By and by
the mule began to register his
protest against the outrage, for
such he conceived it to be by a
lively tattoo against the side of
crib. An he kicked an he kick
ed an be kicked" until his shoes
became red hot and set fire to
the corncrib. The fire popped the
corn, which fell about in such
profusion that the mule BELIEVING
it was showing, lay down and
froze to death.
