SOCIALISTS TRYING TO
 WAKE MILWAUKEE UP

Milwaukee. December 2O.-victor l.. Berger, alderman at large and social dem ocrat congressman-elect, yesterday was defeated by the socialist contingent in the city council when he opposed the passage of measure which the city at torney has declared unconstitutional.
 The measure was one to allow washer women to use city water free of charge. The socialist attorney had declared the measure unconstitutional, but the social ists wanted to pass 1t any way and did so despite the objections of Berger. The council adopted r resolutions asking for the passage by the legislature of that number of special Milwaukee bills all lowing the city to engage in various en- terprises at present barred by law.
 The socialists. among other requests, want the authority to erect municipal hospitals, ice plants, packing houses, to conduct any public utility, and In general to have complete home rule granted Mil waukee instead of the city being forced to ask legislative approval for every in- novation proposed.

TENER INHERITS
 FRAGRANT CASE

Harrisburg, Pa., December 20.-Among the legaces Governor Stuart will leave for John K Tener his successor, when he retres from office next month, is the disposal of the case of Mrs. Kate Edwards, who Is in the Berks county jail under sentence of death for tho murder of her husband about nine years ago. Because of public sentiment stirred up at the time of her conviction against hanging a woman, two governors have passed up her case to their successors.
 Mrs. Edwards and negro named Gleason were arrested for the murder of the husband. The negro was a para mour of the woman and the husband de- clared he would kill her, so in fear, if not in a sort of self-defense, she killed him one night and threw the body in a well.
 Mrs Edwards and the negro were tried for murder and Gleason, on a retrial, was acquitted. though once convicted, but the woman was convicted and sen- fenced to be hanged.
 Governor Pennypacker set al day for the execution. but before the date ar TiNtu du dppIitdliOl Wdo iilduc IO lIc board of pardons for the communication of the woman's death sentence to impris- onment for life and on the night pre- vious to the day of execution Governor Pennypacker reprieved the woman in or der that the board might hear the case. The messenger bearing the governor g
 reprieve arrived at the Reading jail, WI here Mrs. Edwards was with the min
 ister who was administering the las. rites to her.
 The board of pardons took up the case and then declined to commute the death sentence This was seven years ago. l; then rested with Governor Pennypackei
 to again fix the day for Mrs. Edwards execution, but he never took action. Gov enor Stuart likewise has not taken ac- ton and now the case descends to Gov error Tener.
 | Meantime Mrs. Edwards has occupied | cell in the Berks county jail and is said to be most exemplary prisoner.

CAROLINA SPECIAL"
 NEW SOUTHERN TRAIN

Columbia, S. C., December 20.-(Spe- cial )-President Finley of the Southern Railway company announces today that beginning on Monday, January 2, 1911, a new through passenger train, to be known as the Carolina Special, will be operated between Charleston, S. C., and Cincinnati, O., by way of Columbia and spartanburg, s. C.; Asheville, N. C.; Knoxville, Tenn. Hartman, Tenn, and Lexington, Ky. Speaking of this Eew train President Finley said:
 ''The Carolina Special is to be a first class train in every respect The sched- ule has been arranged with a view to the convenience of the travelling public. Details of the equipment and schedule
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-12-21

will be announced by the passenger de- partment. From the earliest days of rail- way construction in the United States it has been the aim of Charleston and of South Carolina to obtain direct route and through service to the Ohio river and the west. The first steps were taken even before the completion of the old Charleston and Hamburg railroad. and in 1885 the Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston Railroad company was pro- jected, with the Hon. Robert Y. Hayne of Charleston and other prominent men of the day among it's most active supporters. The route proposed was that now to be followed by the Carolina Special and the purpose of these early advocates of highway across the Appalachian range from the sea to the Ohio river Is now to be realized by this new service of the Southern railway"

BREAD LINE VERY
 LONG IN CHICAGO

Chicago, December 20-Despite the fact that the retail stores report that more money is being spent this year for holi- day goods than in any previous year, 1000 men stood in line last night in a biting wind to obtain a tin cup of coffee and a roll each.
 It was the tenth night that Malcom Mo Dowell has had his coffee wagon out to feed the hungry unemployed.
 The results have shown that this char ;ty is almost as badly needed as in the hard panic" winter of 1907-0S.
 The municipal lodging house had over 4o0 lodgers last night, a number far in excess of the number of beds, and in ex- cess of the number accommodated at this time of winter after the panic three years ago.
 Hogan's Flop a four-story building where men may sleep on the bare floor for a nickel a night, had more than 13OO guests last night.

nv serious attention. On it's face 1t seems to me that these people have an equitable proposition. However, l nave not gwen the matter that careful consideration com- mensurate with a matter Of such grave importance as would cause me to reach a definite conclusion as to what my per. sonal course in the matter shall be. Jeff ferson county is the pride of Alabama, and I readily recognize that there are many reasons which might be urged why a new county should not be created which would take from her such large ana valuable area of territory.
 Governors Salary
 While in Montgomery several weeks ago Senator Screws approached me in regard to bill which he proposes to in- troduce which would provide for the building of suitable home for the gov ernor of Alabama. l very readily agreed to support a bill which would provide for reasonable sum to be appropriated and expended by the state for this pur- pose as I have been of the opinion for a long time that the governor of Ala bama did not receive just and proper compensation. However, I am not at all sure that the bill which provides for an increase of the governors salary to $75OO. copy of which has been mailed by MT. Lee Cowart of Birmingham, should be passed. should the legIIature appropriate | a sufficient sum for the erection and the proper furnishing of a governors home | I believe, however, that the legislature | should do one of the two things. It should either increase the governors ssl- ary or it should provide for him, at the expense of the state suitable home. Discusses Candidacy
 q am feeling very comfortable over my prospects to be president pro tenn of the senate, and I shall feel very highly com plimented indeed should the senate con- | fer this honor upon me over the three | gentlemen, MT. Sherrod of Lawrence, MT.
 Brown of St. Clair and MT. Morrow of
 Jefferson. All of these gentlemen are
 recognized as being men of character and
 strength and I shall be paid a very high | honor should I be elected from among
 them as the president pro tenn of the sen 1 ate. Personally. I believe it is now gener- | ally conceded that ] am going to win. 1 Seventeen of the gentlemen who have
 been elected have done me the honor to
 offer me their support, and I have been assured by a number of gentlemen who are committed to one or the other of the other three candidates that in the event that the candidate of their choice would
 not be elected, that they would give me the benefit of their support

FRAZER TALKS ON
 PUBLIC QUESTIONS Bullock County Senator Favors
 Commission VIEWS OF PROHIBITION Would Never Vote for Liquor in Bull lock County But Thinks Changes Might Be Made in the
 Larger Cities
VIEWS OF PROHIBITION
BY WALTER HARPER

Union Springs, December 20-(Special) Thomas s. Frazers friends claim that he will be the handsomest member of the next state senate.
 He was elected without opposition to represent the counties of Bullock and Macon. He was one of the first men men, toned as president pro tenn of that body and though he has some formidable oppo- sition for this honor he and his friends feel confident of his success. If good looks and congeniality count for any thing in politics among politicians he stands a good chance though his three opponents are not entirely devoid of these pleasing qualities.
 But Tom Frazer is lacking in one or two good qualities that may or may not af- feet him politically. He has lived in a land full of beautiful, worthy and ap- preciative women and has never mar red. Why this thusness Is no one, es- peciallv the women, do not seem to un- derstand.
 He has all the good qualities of an af- fectionate and devoted father.
 He was born in Bullock county 35 years ago and has never lived anywhere
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-12-21

 else. He thinks Bullock is the best county in the world and Alabama the finest state.
 He has lots of friends in his district ana especially in his county.
 1 found him in his office at Union Springs this morning. He was in his usual pleasant humor and talked readily on probable legislation at the coming ses- sion.
 He discussed some matters that are of leading interest to North Alabama peo- pie,
 Mir. Frazer Talks
 Senator Frazer said: While, of course, none of the towns in my senatorial dis trict will be effected by the bill I am inclined to support such a bill for the commission form of government as may be agreed upon by those gentlemen who will represent the cities which will be effected. I am largely inhunced in this particular by the fact that wherever q commission form of government has been tried, to a large extent, it has proven satisfactory and good results have been obtained.
 Prohibition Question
 "The prohibition question carries with it a very large problem. My people were very kind to me in the last cam paign and permitted me to be elected to the senate, not only without opposition, but without making any demand on me which would commit me to either view of this question. l am perfectly clear, however, that Bullock county is in fnitely better off without the sale of whisky, and during my term of office II shall support no bill which will legalize the sale of liquor in Bullock county. It is questionable, however, as to what gard to those communities which have demonstrated under our present laws that they not only are opposed to pro hibition, but are willing to elect county and city officials who knowingly permit all power lies in public opinion, and to deal with this question in a way that would meet the approval of the better element of citizenship as would cause them to do their part toward creating such a respect for law and order as would result in strict rigid enforcement of serious questions which the legislature will be called upon to consider.

CASES ARE SETTLED BY SUPREME COURT Hattiesburg Will Get New Mis-
 sissippi Normal DEED IS LOCALIZED Court Also Decides the Case of Bclzoni Drainage Commission Against
 An Individual and Lat
 ter Wins
DEED IS LOCALIZED

Jackson, Miss, December 20 The supreme court settled two very important constitutional questions at today's sitting-one in the affirmative, the other negatively, no written opin- Ion being handed down in either case
 The legislature of last spring author ized the creation of a state normal col iege, appropriating no funds, however, for the purchase of a site or erection of the buildings. The act provided for the appointment of board of trustees by the governor, and authorized that board to solicit bids and sites from such communities as desired the loca- ton of the college
 There was a sharp rivalry between three or four of the larger towns but Hattiesburg made the best and largest offer, so the trustees believed. The cornmunity was to donate the site and issue bonds in the sum of about s25j, 000. All these promises have been made good, but the bond buyers or other parties raised the question as to the constitutionality of the act-the legality. of such bond issue, and there
  tior should be settled by the supreme court-the style of the two cases be- ing Turner ct al vs. city of Hatties- burg, and Turner ct al vs. county of Forrest. Both these cases were af- firrned and there is no longer any ob- stacles, legal or otherwise, in the way. The trustees will now meet and de- termine as to which of the several sites offered by Hattiesburg will be ac- cepted.
 The other case, involving a constitu- tional question, was that of Belzoni drainage commission vs Oresimus Wynn. The opinion of the court was announced briefly by Chief Justice Mayes and was the only decision an nounced by that member of the court. The law creating the drainage district provided that the course of natural as well as other drainage channels might be changed by the commissioners. That meont the turning aside of the chan nels of rivers and streams on which many of the property owners had al- ways depended and the diversion of such natural waterways to the use and the benefit of others. This the court held was unconstitutional. The com mission might dig ditches and provide for new drainage, but could not legal 1y turn aside the waters of the streams of the district and change natural drainages. The case was affirmed but remanded and MT. Wynn, the appellee wins.
 In his preparation of a condensed re- port on the result of the efforts of the boys corn clubs over the state, Com missioner of Agriculture Blakeslee has found some very interesting data. For in stance. 70 boys in Covington county made 3,9S3.S4 bushels of corn on 40 acres. The highest yield was 192 bushels on one ncre, and the average yield per acre was e959 bushels.
 In Marion county 40 boys made 1,S67. .0s bushels on 70 acres. The heaviest yield on any one-half acre was at the rate of

To Celebrate Emancipation Day

The negro Emancipation club of Bir- mingham will celebrate the 47th anni- versary of the emancipation of the race on January 2 at the First Baptist church, colored. The orator will be President Isaac W. Fisher of the Branch Normal college of Pine Bluff, Ark.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-12-21

229.9s bushels per acre, and the average per acre was 93.36 bushels.
 These results are great and the figures almost stagger the average Mississippian, who happens to know that the average yield of corn in this state is about 16- may go 20 bushels this year.
 Covington and Marion counties are located in the heart of the pine region Of the state, almost adjoining. There are thousands of acres of cut-over pine lands there now which can be purchased for a mere song and on terms to suit, which, under the intensive system of farming. will make 100 bushels of corn year after year.

state Superintendent of Education Powers, who has just returned from a tour of the southern part of the state in the interest of education and agricultural high schools in particular, received let ter today from the superintendent of an agI gIicultural high school in Maryland, giv- ing an outline of the plan of manage rent. pr. Powers visited this school not long since, and does not hesitate to declare it the most complete he ever saw in all his travels and search for models. On his return home he wrote the management asking for statement of work. cost. revenues, etc, so that he might publish 1t for the benefit of the boys and girls of Mississippi. That will be done in a few days.
 Next Friday pr. Powers goes to Shel- by. Boliver county, on a general educa- tional roundup.
 City Clerk Fred Lusk proposes to see for himself what can be done with oranges in this section of the state, and has already received a shipment of trees of the Satsuma variety. a luscious little orange that succeeds well in the coast counties.
 MT Lusk has perhaps heard about a Lamar county man who was in Hatties- burg a few days since exhibiting bunch of Satsumas he had grown on his own farm, standing the freezes of last win ter as well as did the long leaf pine or blackjacks. And that is half way be- tween the coast and Jackson. In the event that MT. Lusk's experiment proves satisfactory the farmers of the boil weevil section will have one more crop to fall back on in place of cotton.
