The following from the Leaksvllle
Gazette is worth considering:
IF you cannot say good word
for the town in which you live and
make your living, you are not a good
citizen. You are one of the reasons
why the town is not what it should
be. Be friend to your home town,
and it will be a better friend to you"

AMBITIOUS PLANS
 AT LIVINGSTON
Intention Is to Make It One of the Greatest Girls Schools in
 the State

Livingston, June 25.-(special)-For a quarter of a century the Alabama Normal college was school for young women. Four years ago by an act of the legisa ture the institution became co-educatonal and this experiment has continued until the recent action of the legislature, by mean sof which all the normal schools were placed under one state board. This beard in its wisdom has decided that there is now a demand and an opportunity for a normal school for girls; hence, by re- cent ruling of this board boys are no longer admitted. In the future four main lines of work will be emphasized in this school. 1. Thorough academic courses. ?. Teacher training courses. 3. A school of fine arts. 4 Industrial departments. The academic work will be the same course as that maintained in the other old normal schools of the state the course of study having been made uniform by the state board.
 The school of fine arts will consist of piano, voice. theory, harmony and com position music, public school music, ex- pression, painting of all kinds, including free-hand drawing. The industrial courses will consist of domestic arts, manual arts, stenography and typewritlng.
 Plans are now on foot for the erection of large three-story, steam-heated, brick dormitory which will probably be ready for the opening in September. It is the purpose of the trustees to make of the Livingston school great school for girls only. The success of the school the past session justifes the prediction that the school will be one of the greatest in the state in future years

Herald correspondent that he already has large orders booked for brick for use in towns along the line of the new road. Among others two-story brick block will be erected in Geiger, with four store rooms below and a hall and office room in the second story. This will be the third brick block for Geiger within year.
 The most important land deal of the past week was the sale of the Mckinley plantation, by Pinson & Geiger, to Dr. ]. W. Stegg president of the Presbyterian College for Boys, at Anniston. This sale comprises 120 acres that lays adjoining the townsite survey, within one mile of the heart of the business section. The land Is mixed prairie, sandy and has some excellent lime land devoted to pasture. pr. Stagg was accompanied by his son on visit to the property this week, and stated it was their purpose to improve the property and develop it into a first-class stock farm.
 The automobile craze has struck the country and ne less than a dozen ma crimes have been brought into this section Including BunsHille, Miss, Scooba, Miss, bancy and Geiger MT John H. Pinson af Geiger brought home Fen-passenser Oldsmobile this week, and others con- template purchasing right away. The spirit is so strong that a commodious garage with repair shops is now being erected at Geiger which is the center of the good roads of this territory.

Dr. Stagg Buys 12O-Acre Farm-New Brick Plant
 Is Being Built

Geiger, June 5-(Special )-This sec ton of north Sumter county is gratified over the plentiful rainfall which has come in steady soaking showers at intervals during the past week All crops are do- ing exceedingly well and the prospects for cotton now far exceed She crop of last year. The corn crop. especially the first paintings has been injured by the six weeks drouth, but the acreage planted this year Is much larger than that of last year. and it is expected that the crop will be the largest ever harvested in this section.
 Tte large planters of the black belt have planted less cotton this year than was ever known to be the case here. Many pieces of sandy land heretofore devoted to cotton have been put into corn as test cases preparatory to the arrival of the boil weevil. More oats will be harvested about Geiger this year. and attention 10 small grains Is promised to be extended from now on. ss.- a-.s -s--'s
 A carload of improved machinery was unicaded at the Geiger station recently, among which were two binders. Many ol6er residents of the county were curious onlookers during the operation Of setting this machinery up. who declared they had never seen one before. Following the advent of the binder with the experi- nlents in raising small grain. threshing machine will be brought in next year and the rev era will be established in the farming methods of "the heart of the black belt"

CORONATION TOO

Anniston, June 25.-(Special)-R. E.. Gam, president of the Alabama Fedora ton of Labor, and also linotype opera tor on the Anniston Evening Star, is too democratic to relish the ado which has been made over the coronation of Queen Mary and King George. He secured per mission to go on vacation Friday rather than remain and set any more "copy' about the coronation festivities and Fri- day morning he telephoned ehat the ter riblc ordeal of wading through the coro- nation copy of Thursday and Friday morning had caused him to experience a genuine indisposition.
 The only thing about the coronation which he enjoyed setting, he says, was the interview of My Laird of Shibo' as contained in the telegraphic copy. He says Andy has his idea down pat"

CUDGEL FOR

Anniston, July 25.-(speclal)-Dr. J. L.

 The club resort, Dr. Wikle says, has heretofore been one of the easiest ways for the tigers to evade the law They can charter a club under any name de- sired, fictitious or otherwise, he says and nothing is gained by securing knowledge of those holding club licenses. Under tho new federal law, however. 1t is said that all clubs chartered will have to place on record the names of their offi- cers, who can be held responsible under the law.

British Indies Crop

The cotton plant is indigenous to In- dia and it's fiber has been employed by the neople of that country for making clothing for thousands of years. This production, however, did not attain com mercial importance in the modern sense until it's culture there, as in many other countries felt the stimulating effect of the high prices for cotton which re- suited from the demoralized conditions caused by the Civil war in the United States.
 The area devoted to the growth of cotton In 1910 was 21,94S,000 acres, an increase of 1,427,000 acres, or ' per cent, over the acreage of 1909. The acreage for 1910 exceeded the average for the 14-year period, beginning with 1897, by 4,060,S9 acres. The crop of 1910 amounted to 3,50S,100 bales of 800 each, which is 264,700 bales, or per cent, less than the yeld for 1909, though an increase of 66426S bales over the average for the 14-year period. It is observed that, in the past year, though the acreage has increased and the pro- duction decreased the average per acre Is the same as for the 14-year period.
 The crop of 1910 was somewhat small CT than that of 1909, which was phe- nomenally large one, and, is disappoint- ing when we consider that the world S production for the past year was still short of the quantity needed for the an nual consumption. The decrease in the production is due largely to weather conditions, the rainfall in some portions of the country having been excessive and in others insufficient.
