ALABAMA REJOICES
 OVER INDEBTEDNESS Conner Administration Is Great
 Educational Advance AGRICULTURAL GROWTH Farmers no Longer Hold Cotton as King But Are Learning That Alabama
 Soil Produces n Great Many
 Other Productive Crops
BY B. c. BETTY

Montgomery, October 8.-(Special. )-The unusual condition of a state rejoicing over it's indebtedness is the situation which exists at the capitol, and which has been made pronounced since the re- cent report of State Auditor w. W. Brandon, In which it was shown that the disbursements for the fiscal year of 1909- 1910 exceeded the receipts for the same period by $330, ,2882S. The fact that the treasurer of Alabama was called upon during the year to release $5,698, 432. .52 in cold cash, whereas he had received only s, 36s, 144.24 is taken by those in authority to mean a progressive step on the part of Alabama, even though 1t would ordi- narily be considered losing business.
 General Brandon in his report to Gov ernor Conner hit the keynote which the states chief executive has been sound ing ever since his induction in office. "The excess in disbursements was chief ly due,' explained the auditor, ito ad- ditional educational appropriations, and to increased pensions"
 It is considered by state education lead ers that the stride taken by Alabama
  institutions of learning has been the crowning touch to the coHer administra- ton, and the salve which has been ap-- piled to mollify every mind that harbored grudge because of railroad legislation, or radical whisky laws. It is the magic word which has given the state a great CT confidence in it's ultimate ability to be an integral part an essential element, in furthering the claims the south as the section of the country richest in agricul- ture. and most promising in the develop ment of great industries.
 Succinct Digest
 Told succinctly, the educational growth has been general. In addition to allowing appropriations for the advancement of the University of Alabama to one of the fore most places as an institution of learning, bountiful appropriations have been all lowed the Alabama Polytechnic institute at Auburn, and every state high school to be found in the commonwealth. Teach CTS are well paid and well cared for. Every comfort commensurate with reason has been permitted. and as many i'm provements have been begun as gen. I erosity seasoned with temperance could allow.
 In regard to the pension feature which l Auditor Brandon suggested every quarter ly payment on the part of the state has shown a gradual increase. The fact that the wearers of the gray are thinning has not in the least diminished the funds allowed, but has rather permitted more valuable emoluments.

used parts, and carpenters are en- gagged putting in order the rooms in which the legislators meet.
 Announcements from all parts of the state show that the session of 1911, the first one under the Emmet ONeal administration, Is going to be warm one In every respect. Bills galore are going to be pre- sented, and from the wealth of suggestions already made it seems quite probable that wise legisla- tion Is slated for the state. More at- tentiou, it seems, Is being paid to de- tails and constitutional requirements.
 The trave sty which existed in the state just short time ago, when bill upon bill was declared unconstitutional, has been a sore point, and determine . tion as a consequence is pretty general that such a condition shall no longer exist.

Roosevelt in Africa

NO JOURNEY OF MODERN TIMES has at
tracted such great attention or excited such great in
te-est as Roosevelt's journey through the Wilds of
Africa in search of the Big Game of that Dark Con-
tinent. The rising generation have been brought to
a more interesting realization of the Marvellous Won
ders of the Heart of Africa.
This story of magnificent achievement and wonder
full discovery, thrills and captivates the reader. Not
only Roosevelt's journey is fully described, but also
experiences of Stanley, Livingstone and Baker, in ex-
ploring the unknown wilds of this most wonderful
region.
ROOSEVELT, THE GREAT AMERICAN
HUNTER AND NATURALIST, goes to Africa
where the game is larger and more abundant and
beasts the Lion, Rhinocerus and Elephant, and gets
the finest specimens of Monkeys and other animals.
ROOSEVELT WITNESSES the STRANGE
CUSTOMS of the strangest of all the Worlds Peo-
pie. Freaks of Medicine Men and Rainmakers. Pc
culiar Marriage Customs. Horrible antics of the
Wizards and Snake Charmers, Great Warriors that
make civilized people laugh, and Slave Drivers that
make Christian people cry.
The story of the African Explorations of these
Wonderful Travellers is a Brilliant Panorama of
Tropical Wonders that interests and educates the most
languid. Every page is full of thrilling incidents and
startling scenes, and the secrets of yesterday become
the knowledge Of the world today.
A vast Treasury of all that is marvellous, interest
ing, wonderful and instructive in the Dark Continent
and with graphic descriptions of the mighty rivers,
wonderful cataracts, inland seas, vast lakes, great for
ests and diamond mines of untold wealth.

speeches on the great questions Of today: The Tariff.
The Trusts, Monroe Doctrine, The Worker and the
Wage-earners, The Army and Navy, The Philippines.
Currency, Irrigation, Conservation, Education. Char
acter, Good Roads, etc, etc.

Three Full Page Halftone Illustrations. These are
reproduced from photographs taken in many states
and shows the popular and versatile Ex-President sur
