THAT REMINDS ME
Some Striking Examples Showing the Value of Alabama Lands
AS a Financial Observation-Disclosures Returns For
Amount of Capital Invested-Busiest Place
In Birmingham
BY WALTER HARPER.

II one acre of .and viii give an annual
return of sac clelr of all expenses whas
is the value of that land?
The example cited is given by VIII I.
Vann. boy. who lives at Ahbeville' Ala.
Last year he produced on one acre of land
30 bushels and IS pounds of corn. His
total expense was 327. 80. His net profit on
the acre was s47 IL.
On top Of this he was awarded prize
of sl25 by the state department of agri-
culture.
Another example:
]. c. Sawyer of sawyerville, Ala raised
JOB bushels and p pounds of corn on one
acre. His total expense, counting labor
and fertilizer, vas 1904. His net profit
was 1891.
What is that acre of land worth?
Last year was not good corn year.
Too much rain in the spring and too dry
In the summer.
The lands on which these profits were
made are no bei'er than thousands OF
other acres In the state. and yet the aver
age market price of land in Alabama Is
less than SIS per acre.

The busiest establishment in Birming-
ham is the Jefferson county courthouse
Yesterday I found six courts in session
and every one ~ them busy. The corri-
doris on every floor OF the building were
crowded with witneses. jurors and other
attendants on the various COURTESY Hun
dreds Of people we're crowding in and out
of the building al, day.
The government of Jefferson county
constitutes a mighty machine of many
complications, requiring the attention of
a small army of people
More people are engaged in the business
Of running Jefferson county than are en-
ployed in the state government at Mont
gomery and almost as much money is re-
quired.
The crowded condition of the courthouse
is strongly emphasized on days Ike yes
terday and yesterday was no particular
exception to the general rule
May I add thai the Jefferson county
courthouse is one CT the dirtiest and most
uninviting establishments in Birmingham?

J. B. Stephens Of Montgomery reports
net profit of s174775 on the cultivation
of ten acres in English peas, potatoes and
peanuts.
These ten acres. even though near
Montgomery. cost Mr.. stephens probably
less than $1,000
No other business enterprise in the state
of Alabama can show an equal return
for the amount Of capital invested
Now is a mighty good time for tho
farmers of Alaba ma to wake up to the
true value of their lands, and the bound

them.

There is no study more beneficial to the

CONVENTION Date MIDDLE.

As the date set for the Republican
convention approaches. the extreme
folly Of the transportation of the
County and Territorial conventions Is
becoming apparent to the delegates
and the people at large.
To nominate the candidates of a
party before the platform ON which
the organization as whole Is to go
before the people. is a political move
that is unique in local politics, TO say
the least
As the County Committee has for
mally set the time for converting
there seems no practical way of
changing this date, but the convention
ought to postpone the nominations
until the Territorial convention has
completed its labors on Monday.
II is entirely possible for the Coun-
ty convention to form its temporary
organization on Saturday and adjourn
over to await the action OF the Ter
ritorial convention. This will bring
the business of the party into the reg
ular routine and prevent the peculiar
and possibly ridiculous situation OF
candidates pledging themselves or re-
fusing to pledge themselves to plat
form framed after they have been
nominated
While the precinct delegations are
caucusing, II is OF quite as much i'm
portance that they should consider
the details of successfully managing
the convention, AS to canvass for
votes for their favorite candidates.
