Chiffon received a ma jority of the votes of all members of tn legislature in the balloting for two United States senators, but at which the repub ican members refused to vote. were presented to Governor Glasscock today.
 Governor Glasscock would make nc statement tonight further than to say that he had not yet signed commis. sions for Watson and Clifton"
 Senator-elect Watson left tonight for Washington, presumably to demand the seat now held by Senator Davis Elkins the temporary successor to the late Sen ator stephen B. Elkins
 What will be the course of the demo- crats in the state senate tomorrow and for the next few days regarding the re- publican members is wholly problemati- cal. As at present constituted the sep- ate is composed of 16 democratic mem hers. The republicans numbering IA, ex. elusive of Senator Hearne, who denies the validity of the action unseating him, are expected to continue to refuse to take any part in the senate proceedings.

 jumped into the water. A few people who
 were on the bridge at the time saw the

LITTLE STORIES ABOUT
 AFFAIRS IN ALABAMA
ny WALTER HARPER.

Hector D. Lane, representative rom Lawrence county in the Alabama legisla- ture, is a good farmer and bright young man.
 He is fine example of what young men can do on the soil of the state. Ills farm is in the rich Tennessee valley ana he grows good corn, hay, hogs, cattle and cotton.
 But he is afraid of the boil weevii.
 He wants the legislature to appropriate a sum of money to fight the pest. He wants the United States government to help in the work.
 MT. Lane is sincere in this matter. He wants to help the Alabama farmer put 1t isxsseiess to hold out hope that the boil weeviI may be exterminated with any amount of money at the disposal or the state government.
 The United States government spent many thousands of dollars in an enort to head off the weevil when 1t entered the southwestern edge of the country. The government. with the assistance or the best bug experts in the world, rough' every step made by the pest across the states but they did not so much as make dent ir his progress.
 The bug smiled and kept on coming
 J
 But it Is to the credit of MT. Lane that he refuses to give up the nght Americans never give up but success on this proposition must come through an other channel than extermination Of the beast
 We must learn to grow cotton In spite of the weevil That is what the farmers of Texas are doing. The production IS not quite as large. but the farmers are growing more grain, hay. cattle and other foodstuffs to the material advantage of themselves anu the entire country. I talked with some Texas farmers a few weeks ago on their way east to visi' their old homes. asked them about the boil weevi.
 Their smiles were most assuring. "Pshaw! We don't pay any attention to the bueger now. We raise about as much

As was to be expected, the visitors leaving yesterday for Montgomery out numbered those of any other day, ex- cepting the inaugural crowd, by a large number.
 The crowd was composed of various delegations en route to the capital to interest the lawmakers in their meas ures and to stimulate interest in the pas sage of bills Very few of the larger num- Der leaving returned last night as today in Montgomery is to be a rather important and busy one.
 Greatly pleased with the outlook for the bankers bill, w H. Manly, cashier of the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank and a member of the legislative committee of the State Bankers associa- ton, returned last night. While not lob bying, MT.

cotton as ever and a great deal more corn, potatoes, hay, cattle and other things that are really making us richer and more independent.
 If you folks in Alabama will learn to grow cotton right and plant other things you are now buying you need have no fear of the boil weevil.''
 am willing to accept the verdict of the people who have had the weevil and have come out victorious.
 If Hector Lane and the other legs- lators will appropriate all the money they can spare to assist the United States government in farm demonstration work in Alabama, teach the farmers to grow corn and other food products and-cot-
 ton in spite of the boil weevil they will be doing real service for the state.
 The good effects of the boil weevil scare has already done much good in Alabama. The demonstration work of the federal and state officials is working wonders and promises a revolution in agricultural methods in the state. The farmers should quit worrying about the Weevil and worry aDout exceieiNe
 in growing other crops and a surplus of cotton in spite of the boil weevil. It can be done and the state will be richer and happier for the effort. By the way, w. G. McDaniel of Cuba Is making an experiment with the grow ing of peanuts that will be watched with | interest by the progressive farmers of Alabama.
 The peanut is one of the most valuable
 crops of the country and this tier of states across the south seems to be it's native heath.
 The bi-products of the peanut are be- coming very popular and are in growing demand The oil is fine for cooking and favoring and many of the most delicate confections draw on the nut for their most delicate properties. Besides there Is no better or cheaper food for hogs. The Virginia peanut fattened hams are the most famous In the world
