RECEIVER NAMED
 IN THE LEWIS CASE

St. Louis, July @-Thc petition of 235 creditors for a blanket receivership of all the property, companies and enter prises of E.. G. Lewis was granted in the United tSates court today by Judges Dyer and McPherson. The credit decision will take the property from the hands of the organized syndicate which has been in charge of it nearly three months. The St. Louis Union Trust company is the re- ceiver
 In his opinion Judge McPherson com pared the Lewis scheme to the 'Missis-
 slppi bubble" and other historical get
 rich-quiek episodes and declared that if fraction of the allegations made in the receivership petitions were true the Lewis affair constituted one of the most gigan- tic frauds of the century.
 The Lewis corporations are capitalized in excess of s5.0oO.0o0. Whether or not the American Woman's league an organ ization with branches throughout the United States, with membership which Lewis declares to number 7O,OD, will he included in the receivership attorneys were disagreed.

SPECIAL TRAIN TO
 BOOST AGRICULTURE
Southern Commercial Congress Will Send It to Sixteen South
 ern States

Tn the interest of agriculture a special train equipped with lectures and demon strators will at some time In the near fu- tnre be sent on an expedition through IS of the southern states, according to in formation just received by the Chamber of Commerce from Commissioner of Agri- culture Clarence ]. Owens, who explains that the plan is to be promoted by the Southern Commercial congress in connec- ton with the United States department of agriculture
 The practcability of such expeditions has already been proven to the people of this and other cities in Alabama by req son of the unbounded interest that was shown of late in the good roads trains operated by the Southern railway and the reclamation special sent out by the Illi- nois Central. Much anticipation will be aroused over the announcement that the agricultural train will include Birming- ham on its itinerary, though the date of It's arrival has not yet been arranged.
 The operation of the agricultural special is fine evidence of the work being done by the Southern Commercial congress to- ward the development of the south in az riculture industries and education. The headquarters of the congress is at Wash ington, D. C. and has as its head Sena- tor Fletcher of Florida. It is the inten- ton of the Chamber of Commerce to ap- point a special committee to entertain the members in charge of the agricultural train and help in every other way to make their visit of as much interest and benefit as possible

BUSY SENDING
 SEED TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, July 2o-(Speeial)- )-While killing time waiting on the Senate the .members of the lower house of Congress kand their secretaries are busy preparing their seed lists.
 Something like a good-sized car load of ifrankng slips have been dumped into 'the house office building and distributed Iamong the members. These are the small yellow slips of paper with the facsimile of the congressman's signature and the penalty clause printed in the upper cor lners Below is space for the name and address of the constituent down home.
 Each congressman is allowed 22o0o1 packages of seed which are supplied by the agricultural department.
 The congressman's secretary and some times assistants to the secretary address these slips to their friends in the district and deliver them to the agricultural de apartment. The department pastes then
 on the packages of seeds, half fowe land half garden seeds, and puts them il kthe postoffice for delivery. The frankini sslips which carry the packages withou sthe payment of postage must be in th' lhands of the agricultural department off
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-07-21

cials by September 1. The seeds are put up and delivered by November.
 The collecting and shipping of this enormous collection of seed is one of the big industries of the government. Each of these 22,O0o mailing packages contain from six to ten small packages contain ing the different varieties of seed
 or the large mail packages alone it takes S.756,0 900. This multiplied by the number of individual seed packages con- tained in the individual allotment will give total amount of seed packages sent out every year by the department for the constituents of congressman.
 I will try to tell you in later article Where these seed come from, how they are collected and handled.
 This free mailing privilege Is only a drop in the bucket in comparison with the enormous amount of mall that is sent out free under the franking privilege of the congressman and senators.
 Car load upon car load of literature is constantly flowing from the two office buildings. I have sometimes found 1t all most impossible to enter a congressman
 office for the piles of printed speeches and loaded mail pouches scattered in confu- sion over the floors, tables and chairs
 while small armies of young men and
 women are employed in each building en-
 closing and mailing the packages.

OTTO STILL FIGHTS

Atlanta, Ga, July 2O.-About the bravest fight that any team ever made to get out of last place is now being staged by the Atlanta club.
 This organization has probably sui sfered this season from more assorted sorts of tough luck than any other base ball club. And through it all President iJ w. Heisman and Manager Otto Jor- dan have kept up their courage and con tinued fighting.
 When Jordan gets all his men off the sick list and playing ball again he twill have formidable club. With Hugh as second he has d peppery little catch ing staff.
 The Atlanta pitching staff now looks amazingly strong. Tom Atkins is back from d sojourn in Philadelphia and Bal timore and is pitching big league stuff Wedder Sitton has returned after stay in Cleveland and Columbus. He sprung a sore back shortly after he arrived, but he is going to be d big help later Piggy Paige ought to bolster up the staff lot and as Johns and Walter Miller are go- ing great guns the Cracker hurers should make trouble.
 Atlanta fans believe that in Jordan. Sykes, Buemiller and o'Deli they have the best infieid Aat ever played on a
 in the outfield there will be at least one addition before the club leaves on the next road trip
 And verily it looks as though maybe in tfme the Atlanta teams will work off the bottom and astonish the natives.
