KNAPP POINTS OUT POSSIBILITIES ON
 ALABAMA FARMS
(CoNTINUED FROM PAGE D

est. He said that he appreciated the spe- cial demand in that county for demonstra- ton and encouragerlen in truck growing, and in the production of strictly food crops He said that the limited appropri- ation of the federal and state departments is not enough to secure the services of a competent man who could and should devote his entire time to the work. He has agreed to make an exception in this county by taking up the trucking feature, which is not included in the general plan of farm demonstration work but 1t would be necessary for the county or some or ganization or interest in the county to help In supplementng funds for the ex- pence of the demonstrator.
 The Age-Herald has more than once laid this matter and the true situation before the people of Birmingham The County Board of Revenue has been au- thorized by the state legislature to appro- priate funds to such work out of the county treasury, and one or two of the members of the board have expressed some interest in the matter.
 The Chamber of Commerce has also been asked to take some interest in the work but not official.
 By the way. MT. Knapp talks interest .ngly of the work that is being done by
  onstration work. He called attention especially to T. M. Campbell, a negro who Is doing general work among negro farm CTS of the state. He has 10 demonstrators in cotton and six in corn. These negro farmers last year show an average yield Of S55.1 pounds of seed cotton to the acre and 25S bushels of corn This is far and away above the average under ordi- nary conditions and average cultivation, and MT Knapp is very proud of the showing
 Campbell is in such demand for insti- tutional work among negro farmers in Alabama and adjoining states that MT Knapp declares that he will probably be forced to create place for him as a mis- sionary among the negro farmers of the south. He is said to be a good practica speaker in whom the negroes have con fdence and whom they will follow admir- ably.
 Other negro demonstration agents il Alabama who are making good reports are c. D. Menafee of Lee county. Harr, Simms of Wilcox county and Washington Tate of Macon county Each has mum ber of demonstration farmers, all negroes who are making most encouraging pro gress.
 MT. Knapp says that the best result among the negroes can usually be ob tained through negro agents, who hay become practical and are able to tell an show the other negroes how to follow tn improved methods.

Some figures will illustrate very well
the safeguards which the law throws
around persons accused of crime. In
disposed OF in TIN. county of New
York. Let us see what the chances
were that out of this large number an
injustice could have been done as
against the defendant-not as against
the state. The grand jury in that
year dismissed 1892 cases, leaving g.
059, no defendant as yet having been
wronged. OF these 5,059 cases the dis
trict attorney recommended h dis
charge OF defendant. OF dismissal or
the indictment, in 92s cases, leaving
t.131 cases. and no defendant wronyed
as yet. OF these Alb cases, 4S1 were
disposed of i'll various ways (such as
bail forfeitures. discharges on writes
of habeas corpus. etc.) favorable to
defendants. leaving 1850 cases and no
these 1850 cases. 2,6o2 defendants
pleaded guilty. leaving 1913 cases, and
still no possibility of injustice to a
defendant. In $50 out of these 1,04S
cases, acquittals. either by direction
of the court OF by verdict. resulted.
leaving only 463 cases Out OF 6,401, in
which amy mistake against a defend
ant could have been committed. This
residue of 463 cases. WinnOwed out OF
S.4o1 cases. was invariably presented
10 JufleS unQer Instructions by the
court that L. men would have to be
convinced as one man. beyond q reas-
enable doubt. of the defendants guilt
before convincing; and in Zach of
these 1853 cases, II men were SO con
WINGED. and returned a verdict OF
guilty. The law still further safe
guarded the rights of these defend
ants. While the state was allowed no
appeal in any OF the 5S5 cases in
which it was unsuccessful, each de-
fendant convicted had an absolute
right of appeal, and 1O4 appeals wero
AXE during the year.. resulting in II
reversals of convictions. and leaving
452 cases. in the ina result, In which
there could have been any chance OF
injustice to a defendant. OF these 452
defendants many received suspended
sentences, n to the remainder an
application for executive clemency, or
action In case Of injustice, is always
open.

Why Women Prefer EVENING.

In the American Magazine, Edna
l'erber, writing another of her Emma
men but girls OF 16 and confirmed
old maids n travelling mems wives
want to go to a matinee in preference
TO an evening performance. Special
stress Is laid on the travelling mans
wife, who has to go TO matinee rather
of her husbands Essence. She goes on
to say:
DO you think any woman goes to
1natfnees by preference? Matinee!
Say, would YOU ever hesitate to choose
etWeen an all-day train and IL sleeper?
It's the same idea. What a woman
calls going to the theatcr is something
very different. 1t means aking a nap
IN the afternoon. so her eyes will be
bright at night. II then starting at
about 8 O'Clock to dress. and lay her
~usband' clean things out on the bed.
She loves 1t. h wen enjoys getting
his bath towels ready, and putting his
shaving things where he can lay his

have dinner ready promptly at $50

cretonne bag covering it, and her
black satin coat, and her hat with the
paradise aigrettes that she bought
with what she saved out OF the house
keeping money. 1t means her best silk
stockings. and her diamond sunburst
that he's going to have made over into
q La VALERIE just as soon as business
ls better. She loves 1t all, and her
checks get pinker and pinker, SO that
she really doesn't need the little dash of
rouge that she puts on because avery-
body docs it, don't you know! She
gets ready. al but her dress, and then
she puts on a kimona and slips out to
the Kitchen to make the gravy for the
chicken because the girl never can get
1t as smooth as he likes it. That's
part OF what she calls going TO thea
ter. and having a husband. And if
there are childrcn-and for her sake
l hope there will b%e--she's father and
mother to them. She brings them up.
single-handed. while he's on the road.
And the worst she can to is to say
to them, just wait until your father
gets home. Hell hear of this But
shucks! When he comes home he can't
whip the kids for what hey did seven
weeks before n that they've forgotten
all about. and for what he never saw.
and can't Imagine. Besides. he wants
his comfort when lie gets llnnac. He
says he wants a little rest and peace.
and he's darned if he's going to run
around evenings. Not much, he isn't.
Tut he doesn't object to her making a
special effort to cook all those little
things that he's been longing for on the
road. oh. there'll be Il seat in heaven
for every travelling mans wifc--though
at that. III bet most of 'cm will find
themselves stuck behind a post
