TWO ARE HURT WHEN
 BRIDGE COLLAPSES
Bridge Which Had Been Condemned Gives Way in the
 Middle

Sheffield, July 31.-(Special 1.-Two brothers, Joe and Tom Landers. were seriously injured yesterday by the col lapse of a bridge near the hub factory on Furnace hill which precipitated them about 35 feet to the tracks of the Southern and Northern Alabama rail- roads.
 The bridge gave way about midway and the men were caught between the timbers as in a folding bed. Joe Lam ders sustained a broken arm and was badly cut about the head and face, and Tom Landers has broken shoulder and numerous bruises. The extent of their injuries is not known yet.
 The bridge was condemned about two years ago and an agreement was reach ed between the city and the railroads that the latter were to build an all steel bridge, but the delay was caused by negotiations over some minor de- tails. Wagons and automobiles have meanwhile been passing over the bridge and a serious accident has been antici- pated The men were crossing on the foot bridge and the drive way was closed at the time of the accident.

INCONSISTENCIES AND
 OFFICERS BATTLE Young Negro Arersted on
 Second Charge of As sault on Girl

Anniston, July 31.-(SpeciaD.-H Having recently been released from the Cal houn county jail, where he was held on a charge of assaulting a negro girl, by a farmer of that neighborhood, Henry Parker, young negro, about eighteen years old, was again placed in the coun- ty Jail here Monday evening on charge of a similar offense committed on a seven-year-old daughter of Jim Story, a well known Iron City planter.
 The attempted assault occurred on the outskirts of the town Monday morning as the little girl was on her way to school. Her clothing had been torn, and she was badly abused before help was sum- moned to her aid by her screams. The negro was captured and brought to this city by Deputy Sheriff Jack Sheppard Monday evening. ss
 News was received here Monday after noon of a fight between revenue officers and moonshiners in Randolph county as a result of which Officer $. C. Seaner, who recently shot Will McGuffn In the pitched battle. when Officer Cunningham was killed, was seriously injured and shot his assailant in return.
 During a general raid in which they destroyed three large stills together with a large amount of booze and whiskey, Deputy Collector G. P. McClurkin and Deputy eSaner came upon a negro and white man operating still. The white man fled upon their approach, but the negro fought for possession of the plant, striking Officer Steamer in the head with a stone. As he went to throw again, however. he was shot in the hip. Neither of the officers was hurt, but they secured the names of the two men and they will be arrested by a deputy marshal.

Montgomery, July 31.-(Special.)- Following one of the most stirring con tests in the history of the high school commission, the state body this after noon named the locations of the high schools for the counties of Blount, Tal- ladega. Coosa, Calhoun and Elmore. Oneonta was awarded the honor in Blount county, Oxford in Calhoun coun- ty, Lincoln in Talladega county, Rock ford in Coosa county and Electic in Elmore county.
 These high schools will be open to receive pupils next fall if the citizens in the several towns succeed in com pleting the buildings in time for use. Three thousand dollars annually was appropriated by the state for the main- tainence of each county high school. The appropriation is made quarterly, $750 on the first day of each quarter.
 Several additional high schools are to be located in the near future, the commission having already arranged to visit during the. present week the counties of Sumter, Clarke and Monroe, ; this iternary having begun tonight.
 In announcing the above locations, the commission reserves the right of changing the location from any place which does not proceed promptly with the conditions in the ways of buildings, etc, fixed by the commission.
 In commenting upon the locations it made, Superintendent of Education Henry J. Wilingham, who with the governor and the auditor compose the commits sion, said:
 Tn order to avoid putting up to the highest bidder the locaton of the county high schools now being established, the present high school commission has adopted the policy of determining as best they can the most desirable location in each county for county high school. Having determined by vote of the com- mission that question, they next decide what amount of money or value in suit able buildings is necessary to accommo- date the probable patronage of the county high school If the town or ommunity thus selected complies with the fixed re- qurement in the matter of the buildings

 It Is generally believed that the Illi- nois Central will build the line while an- other report, however, is to the effect that the North Alabama railroad is be- hind the enterprise
 The proposed route of the new road is from Redbay in Franklin county to Russellville, thence to Moulton, in Law r. county, terminating at Decatur.
 Such a road would open up magnifi- cent timber country in the counties of Franklin and Lawrence in addition to developing the ore fields In Lawrence county is situated one of the most pro ductive agricultural sections of the state

 Candidate

Montgomery, July 31-No list of names of available candidates for the demo- cratic nomination for president is com- plete without the name of Oscar w. Un- derwood of Alabama, according to Lee Cowart, commissioner of immigration, who has just returned to the capital from Chicago. He says: '"The democratic par ty has not been able to elect a presi- dent in fifty years on any issue other than the tariff and then only when the tariff issue was paramount.
 MT. Underwoods conspicuous ability as tariff reformer and leader his fla miliarity with every phase of the tariff question, together with his long exper- fence in the house, coupled with the fact that the tariff will be the paramount issue in the campaign make him at this time an ideal candidate. He is as big a man as the nation contains today, and is becoming so considered by the democracy of the whole country.
 He can be nominated and elected" {

PLANT FODDER CORN
Experiment Farm Gives
Pointers on This valu-
able Stock Feed

An acre of ground properly planted
to fodder corn may be made to yield
under favorable conditions. from four
to six tons of cured fodder. This
fodder is nearly equal to tame hay IN
feeding value for cattle.
Hay seldom yields more than four
tons per acre 1.-TWO cuttlngs) and hay
land that has been in hay for over two
years commonly. yields less than two
tons per acre.
High land that has been in hay for
over two years should be broken up and
planted to corn for fodder this spring.
II the season is dry (unfavorable for
hay) the yield of fodder will probably
be four or five times as much as the
hay crop would be if the land were left
in hay.
In 1910 twenty acres of fodder corn
was grown on the Experiment farm
and the yield, field cured, was five
tons per acre. 1t is recommended as
one of the most valuable crops that can
be grown where there is apt to be a
shortage OF rough feed. During the
past winter farmers have bought hay
paying from twelve to eighteen dollars

This spring the price of fodder corn
seed is from y. so to s.. 90 per bushel.
When 1t is not handled on the local
market it can be bought from any Of
the numerous seed houses advertising
in the agricultural papers.

any of the northern grown varlties,

per ton. The cost of growing an acre
Of fodder corn including the rent of
land is only $40. 81 per acre. With a
yield of four tons per acre the cost of
fodder corn would be only 1898 per
ton, q very great difference between
that and the price of hay when bought
on the market.
HOW TO GROW FODDER CORN.
The old hay field if not too low will
provide the best field for fodder corn.
An application of manure will in
crease the yield. The soil cannot be
too rich tor corn.
Plow medium to deep and disk and
harrow till the soil is thoroughly pull
verlzed.
Plant in rows 30 inches apart ana
about six inches apart in tho row.
The corn should be planted thlckly in
the row so that the stalks will be fine.
when planted. far apart in the row the
stalks Will be coarser and will not ba
eaten.
One half bushel of seed per acre in
rows 80 inches apart gives the fodder
corn fine stalk and is about the right
quantity to plant.
Plant from May Goth to June 1st.
The planting may be delayed till June
goth and sometimes it may pay to pu
in crop even though 1t cannot be
done tefo1e the first Of July, but the
earlier planting IS best.
The fodder corn crop is fast gaining
favor in Northeastern Minnesota.
Every farmer who gives it a fair trial
becomes grower of fodder corn and
