IS PLACING EXHIBITS
 FROM SOUTHERN STATES
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, October 2.-(Special.) )-Dr. Clarence J. Owen, commissioner of agri- culture of the Southern Commercial Con gross, has begun to place the exhibits from the several southern states in the permanent exhibit hall in the Southern building at Fifteenth street and H street i'll Washington.
 The exhibits of the several states are being arranged in artistic order about the several large supporting columns of the exhibit hall. There is ample room for creditable displays and not one ot the southern states should neglect to pui an exhibit here that would do credit tc the state.
 General Director Dave of the Southern Commercial Congress has just visited Birmingham and Montgomery and con- ferred with leaders in the two towns in reference to the Alabama exhibit. 1t is reported that J. B. Babb of the Chamber Of Commerce of Birmingham and Bruce Kennedy of the Business Mems league of Montgomery are arranging for the states display.
 The exhibits are to be of permanent nature and should be of great practical value. More than a million people visit Washington every year from all sections of the country and 1t is the plan of the commercial congress to direct as much attention as possible to these exhibits from the south
 Dr. owen is very anxious that Alabama place creditable exhibit here. Alabama is not only his home state, but he declared today that Alabama has real advantages

SELMA IS TO GET
 VALUABLE RELIC
Rudder of Confederate Battleship Ten- nessee Will Be Placed on
 Exhibition

Washington, October 2.-(Specal.) )--The navy department of the United States has agreed to lend to the people of Selma, Ala, for indefinite time, the old rudder O. the Confederate battleship Tennessee.
 For some years the old rudder has been lying in a corner of the navy yard at Pensacola and there it would perhaps have remained until crumbled into rust oT removed to some scrap heap had not the patriotic people of Selma intercedsd.
 The citizens of Selma asked that the relic be given to the town of Selma, but the department officials could find no law or authority for giving anything away, but decided that they could loan articles. Therefore it was agreed to loan the old rudder to the Selma people, who will give their pledge to return, the thing to the government when called for.
 The people of Selma will build 8 pedes- tai in front of the Dallas county court house or the Selma postoffice, on which the rudder will be mounted.
 It is very appropriate that Selma pre- serve this relic of the late civil war. The battleship Tennessee was built in Selma at the old Confederate navy yard and arsenal. It was completed near the be- ginning of the war and was in service around Mobile and Pensacola during the unpleasantness.

FARMERS CAN NOW
 HOLD TO COTTON
Most of Them in Fine Shape To Meet Present Low
 Prices

Eufaula, october 2.-(Special.) Ut is be- lieved with the advent of the present month the great rush of cotton upon the markets in this section will cease to some extent as everywhere there is a senti- ment among the farmers to hold Not only the bankers of the city. but others who are in the habit of negotiating loans and other deals in the rural dstrics are frank to confess that collections so far have been better than have been known in dozen years, and it is thought that whatever figure may turn the scale in the matter of prices for the staple from now on the farmers will virtually pay out of debt and have some cash to spare. It is further known that the food product crops, though not coming up fully to what was anticipated at first, will be amply sufficient for home consumption, and in many instances there will be much to spare. The fields of cotton are said to be almost entirely open and the work of picking is being pushed vigorously as is indicated by the increase in receipts at the various ginneries, warehouses and the compress here, but essential obligations have been now met and with the decline in price farmers are asserting that they are no longer compelled to force sales and will await better developments in the matter of price.
 The funeral of the late Mrs. Jamie Me Dowell Pruett occurred yesterday morn- ing and the ceremonies were conducted at the Presbyterian church, of which she was a life long member, by Rev. D. J. Blackwell, the pastor, The floral tribute was exquisitely beautiful and her re- mains followed by large concourse of friends and the United Daughters of the Confectionery, of which she was a promi- nent member, were taken to Fair View cemetery here, where the interment vas made.
 Prof. T. G. Wilkinson of the Alabama Brenau has made arrangements to engage in other pursuits here and will in future make this city his home. As to what dis position will be made with the institution remains yet to be determined upon. The college is owned jointly by the Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges and the city, and was being operated under the au- spices of the city, which held a lease upon it, granted for a period of years by the two orders.

ever information the tariff board lays before Congress should be of benefit, and probably be accepted and welcomed. Congress wants full advisement in the p~emses.''
 Certainly. No democratic member or Congress has ever intimated that informa- tion from the tariff board or from any other source that would be beneficial in constructing tariff laws would be disre- garded. The Congress wants information. It will accept information that is au- tnoritative from any legitimate source, and will be glad to get it. Mir Under wood will go anywhere for information that will help him to construct laws that will help the people. That will relieve the people of some of their bur dens.
 But here the editorial proceeds:
 "But whatever the work may show, 1t will still be subject to the voice of Con giess. It will not be sufficient in itself If 1t squares with the congressional judg- ment of what should be done, well and good. If Congress has information from other sources which it thinks better, it will be free to act on it. a
 "It is useless to talk about taking the tariff out of the hands of Congress Con gress would not part with the power of levying taxes if it could and could not if it would. That power is imposed by the constitution. and is the greatest that Con- gress exercises. Moonshine is a mild word to apply to the proposition that a commits sion of experts should deal with the tariff question as commission does with the question of interstate commerce. There is no analogy between the two questions p
 Now, when the Washington Star begins to talk that way it is time for the stand pstters to weep. It is a traitor to the cause It is putting poison in the protec- tive programme of the hidebound protec- tionists.
 Next we may expect to hear the Star de- clare that one of the big administrative | mistakes that President Taft admits was his veto of the woolen bill, the cotton bill and the free list bill

for the home seeker that should not be kept hid from the people.
 He said: Alabama is one of the rich est states of the south in a great va riety of natural resources and the peo- ple who are really interested in exploit- ing these advantages should neglect no opportunity to advertise. Alabama can not afford to neglect this opportunity, and. of course, it will not.
 "'rhe expense of maintaining an exhibit here all the year round is of so small ac- count in comparison with the advantages to be derived that the people of Alabama should not hesitate to assemble and put here an exhibit that will show all vtsi- tors the great scope of Alabama's oppor- l i'm ins,

What is Man?
Chicago News.


What is man that he should hypno'
tie himself into believing that he Is
a big noise?
Man, proud man, born of woman, is
small doughnuts and a few in a paper
bag.
He springs up today and 1ourishes
like a b~ootlegger in a dusty town, and
tomorrow or the day after the under
taker comes with his tapeline and
takes his measure.
He weds a girl with a job lot OF
freckles, and the next day her pa fails
with many liabilities and no assets,
and comes to abide thenceforth with
his startled soninlaw.
The cellar door of life is for him full
OF pestiferous splinters, but he slides
down it with utter disregard Of the
speed limit.
He goes forth in the early morning
to conquer the world, but the world
refuses to be conquered, and so he
comes home in an ambulance.
In the midst Of life he runS into
debt, but he crawls out at a snail's
pace if at all.
He struts down the boulevard with
his head high in the air and meets
the bank teller with a sight draft for
BIB, and a bill collector flags him at
every orner
He climbs aboard the trolley car
and goes to the horse trot, but much
dust adheres to his shoes on his home
ward journey.
He sits up until 3 a. m. to hear the
election returns from the back town
ships and learns in the end that the
other fellow has copied his bet.
He lays up a goodly pile OF riches in
the bank, and the cashier monkeys
with margins and steals away between
two days to pick bananas in Honduras.
He remains late at the office chas.
ing a trial balance to it's lair, then
goes home to encounter a rocking
chair in the dimly lighted hall. The
rocker rises in it's might and puts him
on the mat.
He invests in a watch dog and when
he returns t. his wigwam after a pro-
longed lodge session the dog refuses to
recognize him, and So he roosts in a
tree until the milkman comes.
In the early spring he discards his
hannels, and a breeze from Medicine
Hat comes his way and he is filled to
overlooking with rheumatism.
With the advent of summer he goes
into camp and gorges himself with
vegetables fresh from the rusty cans
of the village grocer, and a multitude
Of creeping things hold nightly carni-
val on his person.
In the fall begins the winter of his
discomfort. The furnace camps on
his trail and he is filled with wood,
SCOT, ashes and profanity.
He puts on his autumn trousers and
a fussy wasp that has taken up its
abode therein disputes his right and
title thereto.
He transfers a mammoth ported
palm from the front porch to the eel
lar. He goes down the steps in ad.
vance with considerable suddenness,
and the palm follows quickly and sits
upon him triumphantly.
And this is man-proud man..
