NEWS OF HARTSELLE
Cotton Comes Into Market Fast-FaiI
 Starts This Week

Hartselle, October 16.-(Special.)- The town was literally overrun with cotton yesterday. It has been practi- cally impossible to handle the large amount of wagons at the gins and cot ton platform at the depot. West Main street was damned with wagons all of yesterday and it was well into the night before all the wagons were un- loaded. Cotton has been bringing near the 15 cents mark, and this price has attracted the planters to this market. The merchants are paying this price In order to collect, and they report col lections good The continued warm weather has retarded fall trade to some extent, but there seems to be quite a lot of general merchandise sold.
 The Morgan county fair will open here next week and continue for four days. There has been much prepara- ton made on the part of the fair man. agement to make this one of the very best ever held in the county. The planters are interested and many agri- cultural exhibits will be in evidence. The stock exhibits will be unusually large for a fair of this kind, and the poultry department promises to be a record breaker. Several free attrac- tions have been secured by the fair management, and with the advertising matter that has been scattered broad cast a good sized crowd is assured.

STARVING MAN
 FOUND IN HUT

Mobile, October 16.-(Special. )-In a lone ly hut on Razie Bayou, p miles from Mobile, an old man in an apparently starving condition was found by a party of hunters from the German Fishing and Outing club, entertaining J. Dawson Long of Atlanta. The gaunt frame of the man was lying on a meagre cot, by the side of which was a common dog licking the hand of the semi-conscious master. The only sign of food in the hut was a cold pot of greens, which had evidently been cooked for several days. The man and dog were both brought to Mobile and the starving man was taken to the City hos pital. At the hospital he gave the name of John Onion, but several other names were uttered by him and the authorities are at loss to know whether the man is in a condition to reveal his real iden- tity.
 It is reported on reliable authority that Francis J. Inge. president of the coun- cil, and B. Boykin Boone, city attorney, were indicted by the grand jury which closed It's session Saturday The indict- ment is said to be because of dual re- lationships existing between the city and corporations enjoying franchises from the city. Mir Boone was attorney for the Mobile and Ohio railroad, as well as city attorney. A recent act of the council made it impossible for the city attorney to act as attorney for any corporation except the city or for any private indi- vidual. and at the same time MT. Boone was reelected to the office at an in- creased salary. MT. 1nge was formerly attorney for the Mobile and Electric com pany. And at the same time he was president of the council. He was re- elected to the same city position. MT. Inge, when seen by a representative of the press tonight refused to either con- firm or deny that he had been indicted, and said Concerning my connection with the Mobile Electric company I will say that I have not been in its service as a retained attorney, but only on legal matters from time to time. not in reg ular retained capacity"
 MT Boone could not be found.

Do not condemn the physician or friend who advised you against us before you began the treatment. They thought they were doing you a favor; instead they did you an injury, inasmuch as you have now delayed the treatment over month. Many have been cured in that time. They mean well. but 1t is purely ignorance on their part. Some day they will awaken
 to the wonderful good of electro-radio and then if they have the welfare instead of the fee of the patient at heart, they will send you here after they fail to cure you. instead of gorging you on drugs and sapping the finance out of your pock- etbook, both ruining your health and pros perity. Some day you will wake ups to the realization that you have been made a fool of by the physician who performed that operation on you when you didn't need it. But he said you did, and you believed him and had 1t done to the tune of s100 and costs; or, the man who is buy ing his dope from the doctor at $1 per week, 62 weeks in the year. His profit Is $50, allowing g off for bottles Now 100 patients like this brings in a nice income. The doctors doing this kind of business soon find 1t is not to their financial in- terest to cure the patient under one year. so If you are taking this kind of treat ment and want to continue being made a fool of. it Is your own affair. If you want to listen to an operation and there by donate a couple of hundred dollars to your trusted family physicians bank ac- count that is your own affair. You will never hear of us condemning anyone, no matter If they who call themselves square men, honest men do stand in our halls

New York, October 16.-"New Yorh looks good to me" declared Harry Blanche, 19-year-old newsboy, to- day as he arrived in the city after a 2O. 900 mile trip through the United States and Canada in the making oi which he wrested the title of King of the Newsboys" from Noodles" Fa- gin of Pittsburg. It was with the in- tention of winning the title that Blanche started out June l, comfort ably seated on the softest portion of the platform of blind" mail car.
 His first objective point was Reno where he sold newspapers and lem onade at the ringsde during the lief fries ohnson fight. Afterward he wis ited the Pacific coast. then journeyed back to Denver and turning south he went through Texas and on to New Orleans. From Louisiana he headed northward to Winnipeg and then again southward to Jacksonville, Fla. Leav- ing Florida, Blanche visited St. Louis and finally took a zg-zag course back to New York.
 In every place he visited Blanche obtained a newsboy's badge and wher he alighted from the train today ht wore more decorations than band master.
 The boy says he travelled always or passenger trains as the freights were too slow to suit his taste.

London, October 16-Another chapter was added to the history of aviation to- day when the French dirigible balloon Clement Bayard made the voyage from Compegne to London in the remarkable time of six hours, journey requiring seven hours by the fastest express trains and boats Compiegne is 45 miles north east of Paris and about 195 miles by air route to London.
 This is also the first occasion on which a dirigible balloon has crossed the Eng fish channel The over-water route oc- cuuied 45 minutes.
 The Clement Bayard, with crew Of seven, left Comiegne at 7:15 o'clock this morning and reached London without a stop at about 1:15 in the afternoon. The atmospheric conditions were perfect and the big airship travelled with slight breeze behind The behavior of the dirigi- ble was splendid and the 440-horsepower engines worked to perfection. The pas sengers experienced no discomfort and were only troubled by the haze and mist in crossing the channel.
 A most uneVentful voyage IL was "i' nothing to interrupt the smooth sailing motion of the balloon, which each hour averaged close to 33 miles. An altitude varying from 900 to TOO feet was main tained and all along the flight over the aeronauts were cheered by thousands or snectators who had gathered at various no,nts The railway from Folkestone was followed, but the Clement Bayard flew right through the heart of London, cir cling St. Paurs beautifully on the way

 NOVEMBER 22-2S

The Chamber of Commerce has made arrangements with General Harrison, commanding the Confederate Veterans of the state, to hold the state re- union in Birmingham on November 22 and 23
 During the reunion the "census jub- flee" will be held by the chamber over the census returns. The decision of General Harrison means much to the chamber, as 1t will give them ample time to make all arrangements for the day.
 It is probable that President Ford will confer with the chairmen of ali the standing committees this week and appoint sub committees to handle the details of the day.
 It Is intended to make the "census jubilee" the biggest celebration. that has ever been held in Birmingha am. There will be a monster parade in which the military companies of the city, the fraternal organizations, the automobiles of the city, the fire de- pertinent, the police department, and the labor organizations will take part There will be automobile races at the fair grounds and some of the most fla nous drivers in America will partici- pate.
 The days selected are considered Ideal. They are just before Thanks giving Day and the city will have the holiday crowds. In addtionto this 1t gives the various committees ample time to perfect all arrangements

If and good common sense, willing to listen to reason then we say to you if we can not prove to you that we are as well pre- pared to treat you from an intelligent, financial and modern standpoint as some one else then we think 1t our duty to send you elsewhere.

RICHARDSON TALKS ON
 OPENING OF TENNESSEE

Sheffield, October 16.-(Special.) 1.-The talk made by Congressman William Richardson at the Sheffield hotel Friday evening in reference to the opening to navigation of the Tennessee river was of vital interest to people of this section who have long and patiently awaited re- suits from the work being done at Col bert and Bee Creek shoals In the opin- ion of Judge Richardson the greatest ob- stace to the completion of the work was encountered in the person of Major improvements on the Tennessee river. Several millions of dollars have been spent, he said, by the government at Col bert Shoals, yet the river has not been opened to navigation because s4O0O was needed to complete the work and the ap- propriatlon had not been available. Such tactics are wholly indefensible, said he, and utterly unbusinesslike from every standpoint
 Judge Richardson read a letter from the United States engineer office at Nashville under date of August 27, which stated that Colbert shoals canal will be open to navigation about January 6, 1911, and that 1t Is the intention to place two dredging plants at work on this channel and also on the Tuscumbia bar and other Instructions between the canal and Florence as soon as the water rises enough to prevent work where they now are.

Only these seven were aboard. although the airship can accommodate 3s passengers in addition to the crew.
 The couse was by way of Amiens, Ab- beville and Bonogne and the balloon was guided readily by the aid of the com pass.
 Occasional wind gusts caused some slight rocking of the balloon. but other wise she proved steady The Clement Bayard reached Boulogne at 10:30 and F Folkestone al 11:20.
 The whirring of the engines and pro- pellers attracted the attention of the peo- pie at Folkestone and other towns and the balloon arrived over London just as the streets were filled with the great Sunday crowds leaving the churches.
 The appearance of the monster over the housetops caused the people to wonder and hundreds of thousands gathered to watch the aeronauts who now experienced some trouble with varying air currents, on this account circed St. Paurs and the tower bridge twice, dipped several times and flew close to the top of the build ngs.
 They passed over the houses of parlia- ment and along the Hide Park where there was wild scramble of spectators.
 The dirigible landed safely after de- scending circles. aided by a detachment of soldiers. NJ. Clament declared he was exceedingly pleased with the be- havior of the airship.
