GOOD IN GREENVILLE

Greenville. April 10--(Special.) 1.-TWO new
stores have been opened here recently
and several of the merchants have moved
into more commodious quarters and en-
larged their stocks. This speaks we'll for
the commercial activities of Greenville,
and goes to show that notwithstanding
the half crop of last year the farm
ers paid their debts promptly, and that
all expect much better condition to pre-
vail this year than last year.
There is much talk and some active
work being done on the proposition of
good roads for Butler county, and it
seems more than probable now that It
is only matter of few months till work
will begin on them. Much favorable in
terest is being manifest in every section
All through this section the planting
Is we'll under way, and although the farm
ers have been worried a little by the re-
cent drouth, the rain on last Wednes-
day put everything into excellent shape,
and the planting will soon be finished

News Of Oneonta

Oneonta, April 0.-(Special. )-Politics is
looming up in Blount and the candidates
are securing the country. The race for
probate Judge is going to be close, and
the race for sheriff has about overshad-
owed everything else, there being seven
candidates. in the field f1 this office.
There has not been any particular line
up on the amendment question, but it will
probably have its weight and many will
be influenced in the cast of their votes by
the November election.
The farmers are working hard during
this pretty weather. Much corn has
been planted, and many are putting their
cotton land in shape, and no doubt there
will be large acreage. From the present
indication there will be a large fruit
crop in Blount if no freezing weather
hits it in April. Two light frosts have
fallen in Blount this week, but 1t being
very dry, nothing has been injured. Con-
siderable guano has been hauled away
from Oneonta during thep asst week,
and the fertilizer is still in demand.
The new one mines north and northwest
of Oneonta are being pushed and a fine
grade OF ore is being shipped from here
into the Birmingham district.
Emmett ONeal is billed to speak here on
April 30 at noon and doubtless he Will
draw a good crowd.

IRON TRADE IS
VERY UNSETTLED

New York, April 1O.-The unsettled feel
ing in the trade was aggravated last week
by the extension of strikes in the coal
fields and other evidences of unrest in
labor. The output of anthracite in March
was in excess of 10000 0tons, of which
the steel corporation produced 100000
TONS There was a slight decrease in the
daily output as compared with Febru-
airy, but as much iron was being produced
April l as on March l. Although con-
sumption is quite heavy it is evident
that much iron is being made for require
ments.
There is more talk of blowing out
furnaces.
Some requests are now being made to
explain delays in shipments and contracts
for pig iron were again in small in the
east and along the great lakes, but there
was some activity in the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi valley at minimum prices. Coke
has continued dull
One important contract has come to the
surface being a sale of 100000 tons to the
Jones and Laughlin Steel company, the
shipment to extend over three years
A slight improvement is reported In
prices prevailping for structural and fab
ricated steel in the east. Railroads con-
tinued generous with contracts for loco

LIVELY CAMP A|GN
AGAINST HOOKWORM
State Board of Health Planning
Complete Eradication
AN APPEAL rs ISSUED
Health Authorities and All Physicians
in Alabama Are Asked to Cooper
ate in the Efforts to Destroy
This Dreadful Disease
AN APPEAL rs ISSUED

Montgomery, April 9.-(Special.)-
The state board of health is following
closely upon the campaign which it has
been conducting looking toward the
complete eradication of the hookworln
in this state. Since the hookWorm
meeting in Atlanta a few months ago,
the state has been thoroughly can
vassed by the medicos of Alabama, who
have been cooperating with DR.. H. G.
Perry, treasurer of the association, but
this cooperation has not been as
hearty as the state yet desires.
In order to press home the exigen-
cies of the situation, and to force to
the attention of all the physicians the
necessity of an early eradication of the
disease, the health board of the COM
monwealth has again come out with
an appeal to the health authorities. In
this appeal the physicians in every sec
ton of Alabama are urged to give DR..
Perry the heartiest cooperation on the
occasion of his visit to the various
counties. Confidence is expressed that
by such attention the disease can be
entirely wiped out.
Since he actively TOOK up the lnVes-
tigation work in behalf of the state,
DR.. Perry has submitted various re-
ports to DR.. w. H. Sanders, state
health officer, each of which reports
shows that there is a great need felt in
Alabama for eradication of the parasite
Hookworms have been found in every
hamlet in Alabama in which an investi-
cation has been made. Under the sys-
tematic attention of physicians, how
ever, the menace is we'll under CONTROL
while in number of the former haunts
of the worm all traces of the disease
have been completely destroyed

ENSLEY PROMISES
TO HAVE Big VOTE
PEARS ALMOST TO HAVE DISAP-
PEARED-BALLoTS WILL BE CAST
AT THE CITY HALL

The initial election of the Sixteenth
ward, which includes Ensley Wylam
and Fairview, will be held today, when
the 100000 bond issue will be voted
upon. The polling place will be at the
Ensley City hall.
Probably no election held in recent
years is regarded of such vital impor-
tance as that today, and the dominant
sentiment seems to be that the meas
majority. According to the statement
of President Ford of the Chamber of
Commerce and others, the defect of the
bond issue would bring about the most
serious financial embarrassment to the
city, and that the city would be forced
to go on scrip basis and default on
the bonds of the outlying municipali-
ties.
Mayor f. p. O'Brien has issued state
ments showing the imperative need of
the bonds at this time. The increased
cost of every department of the city
government, the interest due on the
bonded Indebtedness, and open accounts
and overdraft of the several munich
palities,. all of which have been pub
lished in the itemized statement of City
Auditor Petersen, which, with the gem
eral status of affairs as set forth by the
mayor, are pointed to as showing the
absolute necessity of the bond issue at
this time to avert financial disaster
The mayor has from time to time
emphasized the Importance of the cleo
ton and urged the patriotic citizen to
go to the polls today and avert the
threatened disaster. There was some
opposition to the bond issue in Ensley,
but since publication of the citys at
fairs it has rapidly melted away, and
indications point to large outpouring
of public spirited and patriotic citizens
to vote to preserve the credit of Bir-
mingham. The election officials in the
Sixteenth ward are: Managers, +. d. L..
Smith, L. p. Arnold, Adam Powell;
clerks, C. II. Mandy, T. ]. Roe; return
ing officer, ]. c. Jordan.

ical association on (naming the date).
At this meeting of the association DIR.

Novel Method of Escape
When Deputy Marshal GLADDEN. Har-
rison of the United States marshaPs
office, flashed an electric light under a
rude hut in Tallapoosa county, he was
reasonably certain that he would find
a much wanted "moonshiner." But he
had no idea that he would discover
Hereunder a shivering negro of quite
inventive mind.
Yet that's what he found.
The deputy had gone to Tallapoosa
upon advices that Sam Burney, the ne
gro in question, was violating the pro-
hibition laws of Alabama, as well as the
revenue laws of Uncle Sam. When he
and his companion deputy, Alex Kelly,
accompanied by Deputy Collector e. N.
Winters, reached the hut they knocked
at the door and after a shutting the
room was entered Despite the fact
that they found no Sam, they knew
him to be in the neighborhood, which
proved the case.
Sam emerged from under the house
by appearing from behind a trunk
which had been placed over the hold in
the floor. Thus the negro had access
to the ground
A Traffic Cop
Conforming with the most modern
custom, Montgomery has designated a
traffic policeman, whose duty 1t shall
be to prevent congestion of wagons and
vehicles, and who shall have entire
charge of the streets of the city. He
will attend to the regulation of AUTO
mobiles, market wagons, ETC., and Will
wear a special uniform which at once
distinguishes him.
l.. e. Curtis, handsomely mounted, is
the lucky cop, and is at the present
time the envy of the entire force as
well as the cynosure of all eyes.
Satisfactory Inspection
Inspection of the Alabama National
Guard at Uniontown, Talladega and
oxford has proved eminently satisfac-
tory, according to statement of Adju
tory, according to the statement of
Adjt Gen. Bibb Graves. Next week
General Graves and Army Lieutenant
Musgrave will inspect the forces at An
niston, Albertville, Gadsden, Alexander
City and Sylacauga. So far all of the
inspections have resulted in the be-
stowal of tributes and congratulations.
A summary of the reports is expected
to show the military companies in the
zenith of their success.
From various sources in Montgomery
it is learned that the policy of planters
to hold out cotton for higher prices Is
proving satisfactory. Many factors are
of the opinion that the high water mark
has been reached.
