UNITED STATES WILL
 PRODUCE POTASH

Washington, December 21.-The United States will not have to de- pend on Germany much longer for it's potash with which to make fertilizer, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson stated today. In the near future the United States should be able not only to sup ply it's own needs. but also to export a considerable amount of potash, he said
 The principal source of American potash, the experts of the agricultural department report, will be in the kelp or seaweed of the Pacific coast. This plant extracts potash salts from sea water and from 25 to S5 per cent of its weight in potassium chloride. The Pacific coast should yield annually about 100000 tons, worth s40,- coo, 1000.
 In addition to the potash, kelp con tains iodine and many other by prod ''ets which may more than pay for eig exaenses. leaving the postassiun shsnri6a rec of cost" the investigators

GROVER HOLIDAY
 KILLED IN MOBILE
Crenshaw Man Run Over By Auto mobile Pike Prisoners Trans
 ferred to Luverne

Luverne, December 21.-(Special)- J. News has just reached here that young Grover Holiday, who lives near this place, has been killed in Mobile by having been run over by an automo- bile. No particulars are obtainable.
 The preliminary trial of Howard and William Boswell, charged with the kill ing of Thomas Browder. all of beat 12 of this county, is set for Friday, De- cember 22 MT. Browder was about 30 years old and leaves wife and six small children. the oldest being about 10 years old. The tragedy is very much deplored in this county as all parties concerned were prominent and bore the very best reputations.
 Some days ago it was reported that Ed Holland had shot and killed his ia ther- -in-law, James Fowler, in the northern end of this county, but such is not the case as Fowler only re- ceived a slight wound in the neck and was out attending to his business the next day after the shooting. No ar rest has been made in this case.
 There are large number of pris- oners in the county jail at this place, quite a number having been sent here from Pike county pending the erection of a new jail for that county. Among the prisoners from Pike are the Spivey brothers. who have been convicted of murder in the second degree, and each given a sentence of 20 years. They are being held pending an appeal to the supreme court.
 The farmers throughout this section are in most prosperous condition not withstanding the low price of cotton, and the streets of Luverne are crowd ed each day with Christmas shoppers There is a vast amount of cotton being held by the farmers of this section awaiting higher prices.
 Senator and Mrs. B. W. Lynn of Vir- ginia, who have been here for several weeks, drinking the Luverne mineral springs water, will leave tomorrow for an extended trip through Florida

ABERCROMBIE IN RACE
Announcement of Former President of University Received With In- terest-Holiday Trade in
 Tuscaloosa Brisk

Tuscaloosa, December .-(Special)-O January 19 the student body of the uni versity will tender to Dr. Denny, the new ly elected president, a notable banquet and the affair bids fair to be one of great brilliance.
 No place in the state has heard the an nouncement of Dr. J. w. Abercrombie's S decision to become a candidate for con gressman at large with more interest than Tuscaloosa, where he became well known during his term as president of the university. It is probable that he will receive a good vote from the Tuscaloosa citizens.
 Notwithstanding the continued indictment weather the general holiday trade in Tus- caloosa far exceeds that Of former years, and business conditions are better than ever before. The streets are thronged with busy shoppers, and the merchants are experiencing a gendine old time holi- day trade.
 The low price of cotton has not af- fected the Tuscaloosa county farmers to any great extent, for while some are selling the greater majority seem to be in condition financially to hold their cot ton indefinitely.
 On every prominenta corner in Tusca- loosa are found representatives of the Salvation Army urging assistance which will enable them to make large number of the city's poor comfortable and happy on Christmas day.
