more OF selection and were better in

they consume there would be less
trouble. The preparation of the less
expensive cuts of meats for family
consumption is a matter that ought to
receive more general attention. There
is too much frying and broiling and
not enough ingenuity displayed in the
use of meats.

What is the reason that Chicago

Well said Mr.. Swift, there are
many reasons for such condition.
though it is a mistake to assume that
there is much difference in favor of
the British market. Still. it must be
remembered that the English and
Scotch are nations of marketers.
Here q telephone message to the
butcher calls for certain joint or
cut of meat. That often ends the re-

the money for the meat, but not so in
England.

SEED RUMOR rs NOT ~
TAKEN SERIOUSLY

The rumor yesterday that Walter D.
Seed is to be nominated for governor
In opposition to Emmett O'Neal was not
taken seriously in well informed cir
cles. 1t has been circulated from time
to time during the past few months
that those who favored the amendment
and prohibition have become extremely
dissatisfied with old line democracy
and would place Mr.. Seed at the head
of an Independent ticket.
He is the nominee of the democratic
party for the office of lieutenant gov
ernor and 1t Is not believed that he
would countenence any such action or
would dignity such rumors.
In fact those who are informed state
that Mr.. Seed and Mr. Stallings held a
meeting in Birmingham Friday. At
this meeting were many friends of all
those interested. Mr.. Seed said he was
satisfied with conditions and would
stump the state in the interest of Gov
ernor-elect O'Neal and the entire dem
ocratic ticket.

THIRTEEN SPECIAL
TRAINS YESTERDAY
CARRIED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
FROM THE CITY ON THE CHEAP
EXCURSION RATES

The excursionists on the August 10 rates
left Birmingham yesterday. In practical
ly all railroad offices the business was
exceedingly good and the passenger agents
were very much elated last night over the
magnificent business that had developed
from the placing of these rates on for
Birmingham people. However, other lines
which did not share so largely expressed
displeasure that the rates had ever been
given this city.
The excursionists began leaving here
yesterday morning about o'clock, and
continued on every train until the late
Louisville and Nashville flyer left last
night. The Alabama Great Southern oper-
ated two sections to the morning train,
two sections to the evening fast train
and one special last night departing about
II o'clock.
The estimate of passengers placed on
the Alabama Great Southern trains by
Hugh Latimer Is said to have proven
conservative.
From claims made by the Louisville
and Nashville passenger men that COM
pany made records yesterday.
at was the best day in the history
of the Birmingham Office were the
words of Robert Pierce, used In speak
ing of the business handled.
The Louisville and Nashville operated
two sections to its train at noon and
eight sections of the fast train leaving
here last night at S:45 o'clock Eight
sections are considered one of the best
records made in local railroad circles.
Altogether, the railroads operated 10
special trains from Birmingham. On the
Alabama Great Southern two of these
trains carried 10 cars and the date of
sale was the 18th. Despite this no rail-
road man was apprehensive about the
operation of the various trains and their
cargoes of people.
The Southern Railway company oper-
ated two sections of the Birmingham spe-
cial and one section of the United States
fast mail in the afternoon, with four
or five extra Pullman cars.
The railroad men who have been work
ing on the August 10 rates since the first
of the month had this to say last night
I'VE have sent more persons on oui
trains today from this city than ever
before in the history of the local office. y

AUDIT ACCOUNTS OF
THE FARMERS UNION
Executive Committee Finds
Everything in Good Shape
TALK ABOUT THE CROPS
Condition Is Now Satisfactory Al
though the General Impression Is
That Alabama VIII BE Short
This Season

The state executive committee of the
Farmers union met In Birmingham yes
terday morning for the purpose of in
specting the local records preparatory to
making report at the State Farmers
union meeting. which will convene in
Montgomery this week.
The committee is composed of four
prominent farmers of the state. as fol-
lows: r. F. Orr of Hartselle, B. L. Hill of
Bridgeport j. M. Wyatt of Si'uria, c. E..
Roberts of Enterprise.
The books of President W. T. Morris
were carefully examined as was the re-
port that he will make to the state con-
vention at Montgomery. The executive
committee went over the books of all the
state officers. When the examination was
completed the announcement was made
that everything was found to be correct
ly kept and in fine condition.
The farmers reported the financial end
of the state union to be flourshing, and
their report to the state convention will
carry high praise for the work of Pres
ldent Morris and his officers who have
been in charge. c.. e. Roberts said:
I'VE believe that cotton will be off some
this year. The farmers have been fight
ing against growing weeds for about three
or four weeks now. However, in the past
few days the farmers have been enabled
to make good Roadway, and are now in
fine shape. We believe that corn will
be exceptionally fine. Hay Is far above
the average while ribbon cane and corn
cane were never better"
r. T. Orr said: THE cotton crop of
this state will not exceed 100000 bales,
according to the information that I have.
The corn crop, however, will be far ahead
of the average. believe that hay was
never so good as at this time, while cane
of all kinds is far and away the best ever
raised in Alabama"
now are better than at any time since
the planting began. We have weeded out
every bush and weed and the cotton is In
pretty fair condition. The corn crop Is
phenomenal. I have never witnessed such
magnificent corn crops In this state. The
farmers are now In pretty fair condition.
The produce exchange directors will
meet in Birmingham tomorrow at noon.
The meeting will be for the purpose of
looking into the books of that organiza-
ton which Is operated controlled by
the State Farmers union. The directors
will arrive today from various parts of
the state.
After this meeting Is completed the ex-
ecutiye committee, the produce exchange
officers and the local executive officers of
the union, accompanied by many farmers
of the county, will leave for Montgom-
cry to attend the annual convention.
