MY friend. Col. Ross Blackmon,

voices the sentiments of thousands of
ants throughout the state. In way
the ants seeming pleasure in keep

above ground reminds me of an attenu-
ated and emaciated old maid relative
of mine down in south Alabama who
was ever happiest when there was a
nice, juicy corpse in the community
over which she could shed tears with
the sorrowing relatives of the dear de-
parted.
1.-THE ants In Alabama strenuously
object to a hasty funeral. They re-
member that it cost powerful amount
of energy and labor, fearful lot of
time and talk to put the amendment
to sleep" continued the Mobile senator,

made as to its strength, vigor and

Hamburger Tells q Story

by a Louisville and Nashville press
agent to a friend of mine, Joe McNam-
ara, an old and valued employe of I.
G. Bush & Co. down in Mobile.
"one day last July the firm received
an urgent order by wire to ship 800
cheap variety on the noon passenger
train to Norwegian vessel then ready
to sail from Gulfport. Because of Its
odor on that hot day the express COM
pany refused to receive the cheese.
Joes Irish ingenuity came to the rescue.
He packed the cheese in a cheap pine
coffin and 1t was carried to the de-
pot in an undertaker's wagon, being
put on board the express car by un-
willing hands. The corpse Immediate
~ made it's presence known to every
one within 80 yards. The poor express
agent was forced into an adjoining car
to transact his work until Gulfport
was reached. At that point Mr.. Nc
Namara went forward to see to the
unloading of the corpse.
"'This a relative of yours?' asked
the express agent, with a handkerchi lief
up to his nose.
Yes said Joe, It's my poor BROTH
err
"'Well,, you have one consolation,
sympathetically said the agent; you
can always feel dog-goned sure that
he was not buried in no trance.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To The Editor of The Age-Herald:
An article in recent issue of The Age
Herald, written by Mr.. N. f. Thompson,
dealing with the agricultural interest of
our section, should stir the people to ac-
tiop in bringing about a long neglected
duty they owe the tillers of the soil.
1 have no word of condemnation, but
rather of praise, for the great amassers
of wealth and l honor the good they do
with their riches. This was provided for
by God Himself in the giving of ability,
and then the desire to better life. But
It was not the intention of the Creator
that the favored agricultural districts
should be held and controlled by any one
the tiller OF the SOIL upon whom the hu-
man race depends for its very existence
AS a southern man. having known MOTH
Ing but perfect freedom and independ-
ence. l am alarmed at the prospects of
many of our people becoming paupers.
Coming out of the civil war and strug-
Cling and suffering we did. Is 1t posi-
BILE that our people are going to give up
their only inheritance, the land, to strange
people? What a wrong not only so, but
what a sin II would be to do this.
Hold to your home and do not let gold
and the thought OF city life entice you
to part from 1t. You can get more pleas
ure and comfort out of what your land
will produce If inteligently and indus
trlously managed. than all things that q
city can offer you.

Notes and 1t Is by This Means That

TALKS ABOUT THE CASE

Warren Barnett. one of Birminghams
well-known citizens, who has for several
years been the moving spirit of the South
ern Mining company. has just returned
from Chicago where he has been testifying
in the governments Investigations of ths
operations of James j. West. a promoter
of that city.
The testimony tends to show that Mr.
West has negotiated Mr.. Barnett's notes
to the extent of possibly s2o0.oo0 and Mr..
Barnett stands to lose this sum.
II can show that these notes have been
paid" said Mr.. Barnett last night, ''but
If he has negotiated them to innocent pep
Pile I stand to lose the 100000. l have
known West for 20 years and have had the
greatest confidence in him. He has fin
anced a number of projects for me and
cannot understand his action in this
case.
MY suspicious were aroused when an
issue of 100000 in bonds were by mis-
take sent direct to West, instead of be-
ing sent to, me, and | was unable to get
them out of Vests hands. He was to
have negotiated them but I had rot
been able to get them back or to realize
on them.

way involved in the litigation against
West and its title to its properties is
perfectly sound. | have succeeded in full
ly protecting the company's interests. 1t
is simply Vests methods of handling my
notes. If they are in the hands of in
nocent people, that will cost Inc 4 large
amount of money.

SCENTS VICTORY
FOR THE DEMOCRATS
Congressman Helm Says Clark
Will Be Speaker
ISSUES OF CAMPAIGN
Weeks Have Brought Champ Clark
Into the Limclight as Pres
identfal Timber.

Declaring that the democrats will car
~ the next House of Representatives by
an overwhelming majority, and suggest
ing that Champ Clark will be the next
speaker, J. Thomas Helm, congressman
from the Fifth district, said yesterday
that he believes Clark is strong presiden-
tial timber
"Cannonism is doomed" he said. I'VE
got the first blood when the power was
taken away from the speaker to appoint
the Ballinger committee, a move which
was suggested by a democrat to an in
surgent. Instead of allowing Cannon TO
stack the committee, 1t was elected by
the House, and we got two good demo-
Gratis and an insurgent.
1.-THE defeat of Cannon in the election OF
rules committee is a democratic vic
tory. The insurgents do not deserve any
credit, for the democrats made it plain
to the constituents of the insurgents
that they were cussing Cannon at home,
but supporting him in Congress. The
democrats forced them from under cover.
MANY republicans admit that the DEM
ocrats will carry the next House. II
we do carry it Champ Clark will be
elected speaker, and would be a strong
man for President in 1912.
1.-THE democrats, with the power of COM
mttee appointments, would start inves-
legations in the departments at Wash
ington which would unearth more fraud
and graft and stir up so much trouble
