TALK HALF MILLION ROADS BOND ISSUE Cullman Believes In Roads. Crops Hurt By Con-
 tinued Rain

cullman, August 15-(special )-There Is TO doubt in the minds of the Cullman peo- rle that the Birmingham Decatur high way, will be built. This county is en- thusiastic over the proposition.
 The board of county commissioners are in session in Cnllman today, and while it will be an utter impossbility to lend any financial aid to the construction of the new road just. at this time, it is likely that the matter will be taken up later. It is almost an absolute assurance
 that in an election for bond Issue the
 county would go overwhelmingly for
 bonds for road purposes. Something along this line may be done within the rext few wekes, and instead of sl5o,0oo
 bond issue, the people may be called upon to make it $5O0,000.
 | Committees appointed at the recent good roads meeting to act as finance | ard locating committee, are beginning to | get busy with their part of the work, | and already considerable sum of mon ey has been subscribed and paid into
 the treasury in s1 donations which will
 be used to further the proposition. l There will be several plans proposed to :, the people of the county one of which | is half million dollar bond issue, to be
 used not only In constructing this special | highway, but in building a system of l roads all over the county.
 l Another rally is being planned for the I 2ath of this month for which call has l already been issued by the president of l the farmers union in this county. Con | gressman Oscar W. Underwood is ex- pected to be present, also a number of
 ether prominent men, including J. Asa
 Rountree, the Apostle of Good Roads"
 in Alabama, and others.

HOW TO BE An EDITOR

Most anyone can be an editor. All
the editor has to do is to sit at a
desk six days out Of the week, four
week of the month and IL months
Of the year and "edit" such stuff as
this: "Mrs. Jones of Cactus Creek,
let a can opener slip last week and
cut herself in the pantry" "a mis-
chevious lad Of Piketown threw a
stone and struck Mr.. Pike in the al
ley last Tuesday" John Doe climb
ed or the roof Of his house last week
looking for a leak and fell, striking
himself on the back porch" "While
Harold Green was escorting Miss Vi
olet Wise from the church social
last Saturday night a savage dog
attacked and bit Mr.. Green on the
public square," isaiah Trimmer of
Runring Greek was playing with a
eat Friday when it scratched him on
the veranda." "Mr. Fong while mar
Messing broncho last Saturday
was kicked just south Of his corn
patch" Yes, it is a wonder they
draw salaries for it.-Wayne Coun-

Congressman Oscar Underwood,
of Alabama, Democratic leader in
the House Of Representatives, and
who made a splendid speech for de-
mocracy in Stanford, in the recent
state campaign, says that he will
not accept the nomination for vice
president, but intimated that he is
a receptive candidate for president.
We would like to see him get almost
anything he wants because Of the
fact that he's not only a splendid
democrat in every way, but also is
a native Kentuckian. However, we
do not believe he has a chance for
the presidency this time. Woodrow
Wilson, governor Of New Jersey, is
the man Of the hour and the Moses
to lead Democracy out Of Egypt.

The Interior Journal goes to press
little earlier than usual on its
Friday edition this week, so as to
give "the boys" plenty Of time to
eat Turkey on Thanksgiving. To be
exact, this issue is printed Thurs
day morning, whereas our regular
press time on our Friday issue is
late Thursday afternoon. The /. j.
force performed the rather unusual
feat this week of getting ont the two
issues with but day intervening.
Our Tuesdays issue was printed
late that afternoon. Not a line of
type was up for Fridays issue un-
til Wednesday morning, and the is
sue dated Friday was locked in the
forms before eight o'clock Wednes-
day night, and you can see yourself
bow much news matter was "dug
up and type set up in a day. The
only way such thing is possible is
by the use of that great labor saver
the linotype machine, the purchase
Of which is the best Investment any
publisher ever made.

SHOW HOW TO HANDLE COTTON
Federal Government Will C0.Operate
With the Farmers Of South.

TO secure high prices for cotton by
improved methods of handling, grad
ing and marketing of the crop, the
United States government will CO.
operate with prominent cotton grow
ers. 1t Is planned to bring to the
cotton raisers the full benefit Of the
Increased value possible through
careful grading Of the crop to cor
respond with the new government
standards.
These standard grades have been in
the hands of the cotton exchanges for
some time and are recognized as the
official standards Of the trade.
The agricultural department Off
cials plan to make the crop from GER
tain plantations selected as expert
mcnt points.
The government will use the most
approved methods OF grading, hand
ling, baling, selling and will make
accurate returns of each operation for
the cotton growers benefit.
1t is believed that if the cotton
growers will grade the crop carefully
In the initial handling its value will
be greatly increased.
Farmers associations are being
urged to purchase sets Of govern
ment standards for use in preparing
cotton for market The price Of the
standards has been reduced from SO
to $50 for the benefit Of the farmers
associations.
