WE'LL FORECASTS
O'NEAL BY 27,225
Well Known Forecaster Gives
Outlook by Counties
PUTS ASIDE PREFERENCE
SAYS In Any Case Where There 1,
Doubt He Is Putting The COun-
ty in the Mallory
Column

Marcus We'll, Birminghams well-known
political forecaster, has prepared his fore
cast by counties on the gubernatorial con-
test His totals show oNears majorities
to be $500 and those of Mallory 1876
leaving O'Neal a net majority in the state
of 27,225.
On March 2, just two months before
the primary. Mr.. Well made a prelim-
mary forecast in which he said O'Neal
would carry so counties out of 81, that
O'Neal would receive the largest vote
ever cast for candidate for governor
since the primary system was adopted
and that his majority in Mobile county
alone would overcome Malory's majority
in those counties which he carries.
Mr. We'll forecast the majority against
the amendment last fall very accurately
and foretold the outcome of the Bryan
Taft race with great accuracy. Regard
ing his forecast by counties Mr.. Well said
last night:
I'm making my forecast it is my de-
sire to be as conservative and impartial
as possible, laying aside all personal
preference, and giving the public the facts
just as I find them.
MY figures are gathered from all
sources. O'Neal headquarters positively
claim many counties which I am giving
to Mr.. Mallory, and also larger majorities
for O'Neal in O'Neal counties. In any
case where there is doubt I am putting
the county in the Mallory column
Mr.. Wells forecast is shown in the fol
lowing table:

LEAVES LARGE FAMILY

]. S. Jemison, brother of Robert Jemi-
son, ST., fell dead at $50 o'clock last night
while sitting in the library at his home
talking to Peter Ware of Pickens county
Mr.. Jemison died without a struggle and
without uttering a word. DR.. Thomas D.
Parke, who lives near the Jemison home
and DR.. C. Wilson were summoned as
soon as possible, but Mr.. Jemison was
dead when they arrived. DR.. Parke attrib-
uted the death to heart failure.
John S. Jemison was a well known
real estate man and prominent citizen
of Birmingham. He was at the head of
new company which had been formed
for the manufacture of concrete building
blocks, and to which he had given much
of his time for the past few weeks. His
business offices were In the Watts build
ing.
Mr.. Jemison resided at 1905 South Twen-
tieth street. He was So years old and is
survived by his wife, Mrs. Margie Jemi-
son, and seven children as follows Mrs.
E. T. Holmes of Macon, Ga; DR.. Bryce
Jemison of Trezevant, Tenn; Lieut.. Kell
Jemison of Fort Monroe, Va; Richard
Jemison, Allan Jemison, Margaret Jemi-
son and Will Jemison of Birmingham.
Mr.. Jemison was the son of William
Jemison of Tuscaloosa and was born in
that place in 1877 He married Miss Mar
gle Allen of Lafayette, Ala, in Novem-
Der, 1856. During the early part of his
life he lived at Montgomery, where he
practiced law. When he was married in
1886 he came to Birmingham to live and
has been a resident of this city ever since.
Mr.. Jemison was well known in Birming-
ham and his many friends will be shocked
to hear of his sudden death without any
warning or previous illness.
As the news of his death spread last
night the immediate friends and relatives
gathered at the home to console the grief
stricken wife and children. kilograms
were sent to all of the children who re-
side in other cities and also to friends
of Mr.. Jemison who live elsewhere. No
arrangements have been made for the fu-
neral pending word from the children who
live at distance. 1t is expected that
all of the children will arrive in Bir-
mingham by tonight.

HARv|E JORDAN
TALKS OF HIS WORK
South Lax in Methods of
Baling Cotton
HEAVY LOSS ANNUALLY
Is Also still Working on Cotton Ware
house Idea, Which VIII Put sta
pie In Absolute Control
of the Growers
HEAVY LOSS ANNUALLY

II am still working for the interest of
vie Jordan of Atlanta, who passed
through Birmingham last night on his
| way to Memphis. Mr.. Jordan for num-
Der of years was president of the South
ern Cotton Growers association and
spent much time and money in promoting
the interests of the grower through vari-
Gus organizations and other public
methods.
II spent great deal of time and money
without remuneration in trying to i'm
prove the condition of the southern cot
ton grower" continued Mr.. Jordan, "but
I could not keep this up always. had
to turn to something practical. I had
to connect business with my efforts.
But I am still trying to do something
to help the cotton grower in a material
way. You know the cotton growing states
OF America still cling to the old and out
of date methods of handling cotton. I
do not understand why but we do. 1t Is
estimated that the south loses not less
than s75 900 900 annually in the method of
baling and handling the staple. No other
cotton growing country in the world al
lows this waste. Egypt, India, Japan and
South America are all away ahead of us
In this respect.
You would not recognize an American
grown bale of cotton when it reaches the
ports of England or even the textile
manufacturing centers on this side the
ocean. 1t is torn, cut and soiled. 1t is
unreasonable and has lost in weight. It's
condition is bad and Of course there
is a disadvantage In the price offered on
this account.
.srhe other cotton growing countries of
the world have adopted the standard
bale adopted by the spinners of the world
and put 1t UP in the manner prescribed.
It is gin-compressed and baled in a light
material. This makes a great saving In
weight, transportation and compress
charges. Besides the bale reaches the
spinner in the best condition and brings
better price.
1.-The methods that am trying to in
troduce prepare the bale at the gin Tor
the spinner and 1t may be shipped d.
rect to the manufacturer or stored In
warehouses at less cost to the producer.
I am also still working on the farmers
warehouse idea The cotton grower
should be in absolute control of the
staple and put it in such shape that 1t
can be handled with the least possible
expense and when the market de-
mands 1t.
"The system of gin-compressing in
which I am interested with other SOUTH
ern men is the system that is used In
all cotton countries except America. 1t
is being adopted here very rapidly ana
the result is always satisfactory.
.By this method the bale is compressed
and sampled at the gin and Is ready Tor
direct shipment to the shipper. The mid
dle-man and the fixed charges that take
millions of dollars from the pockets OF the
southern farmer every year are ehmi-
mated"

TRIES TO USE KNIFE
Man Creates Excitement on L. & N.
Train Following Dispute

VIII Stone was lodged in the city
jail last night. Stone boarded the
Louisville and Nashville passenger
train No. II at Calera last night, bound
for the north. 1t is stated he got into
an argument with the newsboy on the
train and when the train reached Bir-
mingham Stone was transferred to the
patrol wagon.
1t is alleged that the trouble started
when Stone bought a cigar from the
newsboy. He claimed the boy did not
give him the right change and drew a
knife. There was great excitement In
the car until the conductor, Charlie
Jenkins assisted by several passengers,
took the weapon away from Stone. In
defending himself the newsboy threw a
cuspidor at Stone, which knocked him
unconscious for time. Stone cut him
self in several places with the knife in
his wild passes at the boy and pas
senrers. 1t is claimed that Stone lives
at Wilsonville, Ala. The boy whom
Stone attempted to cut Is Oscar Harri-
son.
