MAY NOT DELIVER
MAIL ON SUNDAY
Brunswick May Join In the Fight Be-
ing Made In Other Cities.

An active and aggressive cam
palgn may soon be started in Bruins
WICK to close the carriers delivery
window at the postoffice on SUNDAYS.
The campaign will be conducted by
those who believe this class of Sun
day work is unnecessary in a CITY
the size of Brunswick. and that tae
carriers should be given a rest from
the work during the day. 1t is said
t4at the percentage of people calling
at the carriers windows for mail on
Sunday is very small, but it is large
enough TO make the entire force of
men report for duty on that day. 1t
is estimated that not five per cent
Of the people served by the local
postotfice call for their mail on Sun
day mornings, and to accommodate
t.1S comparatively small number the
whole force has to report for duty
on that day.
Many other cities throughout the
country OF larger population than
Brunswick and just as important COM
mercially, have stopped the Sunday
delivery of mail, and it is believed
that this city will take the same
steps, provided the postoffice depart
ment of Washington can be impressed
with the fact that the organized bod
les of the city do not see any neces-
sity for its continuance. Among the
cities that have recently closed their
carrier windows on Sundays are
Washington, d. c.; Lincoln, Neb., E,v-
anston. H.; Lawrence, Mass; Tole-
do, OHIO; Detroit, Mich; Schenectady
n. Y, and Gloversville, n. Y. Each
of these is a city as large or larger
than Brunswick. Detroit, Mich, was
the pioneer in the movement it is
said
The position of the government is
that it is willing to close the car
riers' windows on Sundays, provided
it is shown that the people of the
city wish it done. Petitions asking
that the windows be closed on Sun
days will soon be prepared and cir
culated for signatures.

MARION STARTS NEW CIVIC WORK. Marvin Moore Heads Or. ganization to Fight
 the Boil Weevil

Marion, March 22.-(Special) )-Rep- resentatives from both banks, a major ity of the business houses and a few of the larger planters met at the court- house Tuesday morning and formally organized the first movement in this portion of the state to meet the results of the boil weevil.
 John Howze was made temporary chairman of the meeting and Editor c. H. Greer of the Marion Standard made the opening address in which he out lined the natural advantages of Ma rion as well as it's great need He re- ferred briefly to the extension of the rural mail and telephone systems which have placed a network of lines around Marion. while the town itself had made no effort to progress. The town was, recognized the world over for it's schools and the intelligence of its cit- izens and for many wears has .con- tributed from its citizenship to the building of almost every important city in America. yet had done little or noth- ing in a material way for itself.
 A permanent organization was form- ed with J. Marvin Moore as president; J. F. Suttle of Felix, first vice pres- ident; A. F. Armstrong. second vice president; H. c. Howze, secretary and treasurer. An executive board was named to perfect the organization by drafting bylaws and presenting to the body next week complete plan for immediate work.
 It developed at the meeting that Ma rion shipped TO carloads of cotton seed the past season, which is regarded as the minimum crop. This is about 5000 tons of seed, and last night a confer- ence of persons interested in the erec- ton of cotton seed oil mill was held at the Peoples bank. The present in- dications are the mill will be built this year.

Auburn, March 2f-(Special.)-A warning to farmers of Alabama Is sounded by pr. ". F. Hinds, state entomologist, and professor of ento- mology at the Alabama Polytechnic in- stitufe. It demands that care be taken in the selection of seed for this sea sons cotton planting. If the boil wee vii Is to be killed in Alabama before it's invasion Is well begun then seed for planting must not be imported from any section of the south which is now infested with the boil weevii.
 The warning by the state entomolo- gist. coming now at the time of plant ing. Is timely Dr. Hinds presents the fact that weevils can be imported With the cotton seed and that seed which comes from areas where the weevll thrives is infected with the pest. One of the surest methods by which unin- tested areas may become invaded is the importation of the weevil in cotton seed, he said today.
 According to a map which mas been prepared at the Auburn station rom information furnished by agents of the United States bureau of entomology, the farmers cooperative demonstration agents and from observations by the Auburn entomologist. the weeVu in fested area is included within line

 "The revolutionary party, which is con- stituted of the best men of the country, doctors. lawyers, artisans, workingmen and the like, isl firm in its declaration that it will not enter into anything but formal negotiations for peace.

 For this reason the revolutlonists will not accept as a guarantee the promises of the government, because they know that none of them will be complied with. As little, too, will they accept as a guarantee MT.

The revolu- tionists do not desire the complete elinl- nation of the opposing party, because everyone knows that 1t is necessary to have opposite parties in nation in or- der to maintain political equilibrium and: righteous administrations. As little will they refuse to enter into peace negotia- tions for the good of the country. but they will not relinquish their demands that the lives of their partisans be guar. anteed and political reforms carried out.

Educators Hold Meeting

A committee. composed of Dr. E. P, Lacey and Superintendent A. A. Persons of the Bessemer board of education and Ed Dudley and Principal Morgan of the Jonesboro board of education paid wis., it to County Superintendent l. w. Mc- Adory last Saturday to discuss what to do with the high school pupils of Jones' boro.
 The students now due to be in the high school grades of Jonesboro are enrolled at the Bessemer high school as the fa- cilities are limited at the Jonesboro school The gentlemen above mentioned were of the opinion that no special ar rangement could be made for the Jones' boro pupils only, but suggested that county board might entertain project to care for all such pupils in territory contiguous to Bessemer. This would mean an appropriation from the county to pay for the tuition of high school pupils from Brighton, Jonesboro, Browns, Lipscomb and other adjacent towns.
 No definite action was taken, the com mittee being advised to submit the mat ter to the school patrons for approval and report back as soon as possible and it is probable that school authorities will make some such arrangements.
 Such a plan is highly desirable from the standpoint of economy for the smaller communities as well as the educational efficiency that would result.

MUCH INTEREST IN THE LIQUOR BILL Measure Introduced by MT. :, Eastis Much Discussed THE SCHOOL PROBLEM Planned to Have County Provide For High School Students Outside
 of Bessemer-Personal
 and General
THE SCHOOL PROBLEM

Bessemer, March 22.-(Special.) )-The bill introduced today before the legislature by Representative Eastis of Bessemer to authorize and legalize the sale of liquor in the city of Bessemer was the subject of much comment on the street today. The bill was prepared by committee of local attorneys and was introduced at this time to give Bessemer the same priv ileges as Birmingham in the event that the sale of liquor is legalized in Jefferson county.
 Many of the bills relating to the liquor question in this county discriminate against Bessemer on account of popula- ton and should liquor return to the county the people of Bessemer want the privilege of determining for themselves in what manner 1t shall be sold.

ROUTINE WORK IN
 HOUSE YESTERDAY

Montgomery, March 22.-(Special.)- Walker Percy of Jefferson county intro duced a resolution in the house today re- calling the Birmingham commission gov ernment bill for the purpose of correct ing the error that had been made in en- rolling the measure.
 In introducing his resolution Mir. Percy said that great injustice had been done the enrolling clerk of the house by the newspapers of the state in blaming him for the various mistakes that had oc- cured in the Birmingham commission bill The Jefferson representative said that this was the only mistake the en- rolling clerk had made in the bill, the other errors having been made by au- thors of the amendments.
 MT. Percy then asked that the rules of the house be passed in order that the
 resolution might be put on its passage.
 The motion prevailed by a unanimous vote.
 Horseshoe Bend Monument After the adoption of the Percy resolu- tion recalling the Birmingham commits sion government bill, MT. Rylance of Tal- lapoosa moved that the bill providing
 an appropriation for the care of Horse
 since Bend monument be taken from the adverse calendar. The bill as introduced provided for an appropriation Of $5000. which amount was designed to meet the expenses of the celebration which will take place at Horseshoe Bend Battle creek in 1914. and to be used as a fund for the care of the monument. Mir Rylance said that the federal gov ernment had appropriated s25,OoO for the erection of the monument, and that he thought the state should contribute some- | thing for the care of the monument He stated that he would be willing to amend the bill so as to reduce the amount of the appropriation from $5O0o to $25o0. The
 motion of MT. Rylance prevailed by a vote of 41 to 17.
 Messages From Governor The governor returned without his ap- proval the bill by Mr. Long to exempt county and municipal bonds from tax ation The chief executive said In his message that provision had been Rade in the revenue bill regarding these ex- emptions. On motion of Mir. Page, who
 had called up the bill. the measure was | laid temporarily on the table. The governor also returned without his | approval the bill by MT. Griffith which | sought to relieve the tax assessor and | tax collector of Cullman county from
 making two rounds year for the pur- pose of assessing and collecting taxes. l The bill provided that these officers should
 make the rounds of the county only once
 year. In his message to the house the l governor declared that he considered the | bill unconstitutional. MT. Griffith asked
 that the bill be laid temporarily on the
 table. which was granted by vote of the house.
 MT. Brindiey's bill providing for the
 election of the judge of the city court
 of Gadsden was returned by the gover- nor with an amendment to suit his ob. l lection. The amendment suggested by the governor related to the jurisdiction

SUMTER COUNTS TROUBLE
 WITH FIGHT ON COW TICKS
By WALTER HARPER.

sessors of herds. Though the federal government is in cooperation with the county, and offers and begs to be al- lowed to bear the expense of tick erad- ication the small COW owner feels that the free range on his neighbours larger plantation belongs to him, and then ''the tick don't do no harm, anyhow. Why, we have been used to ticks all our lives and they never killed COW for me yet. '' Sumter county is one of the finest stock-raising counties of the state. This industry is its promise of salvation when the cotton boil weevil comes next year It is the home of the alfalfa, the peavine and many other frst-class hay crops, The county is well watered and the finest breeds of cattle. hogs, sheep and mules thrive, but 1t can never enjoy full pros perity in these lines until the tick is eradcated
 The eradication of the cattle tick is nothing like the problem that Is pre- sented by the boil weevi There is an easy and quick remedy for the tick. Prejudice alone stands in the way. Preju- dice IS food for six-penny politicians and the combination is making a pretty mess in Sumter county.
 The remedy for the cattle tick is the strict enforcement of the stock law, re- quiring every man to keep his stock on his own land and cleaning the animals at regular intervals Not more than two years is necessary for cleaning a county. Sometimes 1t may be done in the course of one year. The real cattle raisers of Sumter want to eradicate the tick, but they are being opposed by the small one-cow man and the politician who Is afraid of the one-cow owner. To the innocent bystander the fight is a merry one and would be amusing if 1t were not so foolish.
