SECURE NEWSYSTEM ID TEST MINE GAS Will Minimize the Danger
 From Explosions MAKE MONTHLY TESTS Instrument Will Be Installed in Chief Inspectors Office and Will Keep
 Officials in Constant Touch
 With Air Conditions
MAKE MONTHLY TESTS

Mine accidents in Alabama will be a. most entirely eliminated by new de vice which is to be installed in the of flee of state mine inspector by which gaseous air in any of the mines ol the district can be almost immediate ly detected. The new acquisition te the state department of mining will be the gas laboratory ordered yesterday The Instrument will De installed Tn the office of Chief Mine Inspector Nesblt' in the Chamber of Commerce building by November 15. This will be the first apparatus of this kind to be put in use In Alabama. and has been ordered from Pittsburg, Pa, where 1t will be con- structed under the supervision Of G A. Burrell, chemist of the mine and gas Investigations for the bureau Of mines of the department of the interior. NIT Burrell has taken a personal interest in this innovation for Alabama, and Il Is not unlikely that he might visit Bir- mingham at the time of the formal opening of the mine rescue station a' West End. which will be about the middle of November.
 This laboratory will consist of ma chine for determining the amount of c. II. and C. Q. in the air. and two dozen sampling tubes and aspirat- ing bulbs for collecting the air. The district inspectors will be instructed to secure these samples every 30 days which is more frequent than they are required to do under the present sys- tenn, and sumbit them to the main of flee for analysis The apparatus will be of the most modern type with all the improVementeS added by mining eX- perts during recent months.
 The feature of the new equipment will be elimination of the time now un- avoidably lost by the present method of sending samples to the bureau Of mines for analysis Three weeks pass before a return from the examinations; the new machine will dosthis in 25 min utes. This will enable the examina- tions to be made oftener and in every way facilitate the power of obtaining knowledge of the exact condition oi each mine in regard to It's ventilation. Should there be an undue presence of gas which should not exceed 1 per cent at the utmost, there would be sufficient time to warn the officials of the danger, while the lapse of days now necessary might prove disastrous. A copy of each analysis as made win be forwarded to the mine owners and copy filed in the mining records ot the state.

.SKAGGS THINKS
 TAFT WILL LOSE
Believes That He Will Not Be NOminated-Expects
 Harmon to Be Named

W. II. skaggs. the well known Ala
 banian, who is now located in Chicago. and who is at the present time visiting Birmingham on business, expresses the belief that President Taft will not be re- nominated.
 "The time has come.' he says, when the people want an active. fighting man at the head of the republican column and while Taft is a. great lawyer and firsu rate diplomat. he is not leader and noe a lighter. l feel certain that he will not be renominated."
 When asked who in his opinion would
 receive the nomination, MT. Sksggs stated; q would not be surprised were the standard bearer of the republicans chosen from a number of men who are not mentioned at the present time. Roosevelt, if he desires the nomination. can get it, of course. for he is without exception the most magnetic man in the world today. I hardly think, however, that he wants to lead the republicans next
 year. Senator Boone of Idaho might land the nomination. At any rate, the insur- gents have made such an impression that they are to be reckoned with. and it is
 safe to predict that an active fighter will be placed in commando
 Mir. Skaggs admires the ability oe woodrow Wilson, and believes that he could make a better race against the re- publicans than Harmon. He believes, however, that Harmon will land the den1- ocratic nomination.

FARMERS WILL STUDY
SCIENTIFIC FARMING

The Tri-COunty Development League
formed at Arlington the past week,
comprising Morrow, Sherman and Gil
liam counties, started something that
promises to be of great permanent
benefit to this state when il set on foot

Agricultural College to a gleater de-
gree throuhgout the state il desired
and resolution was passed favoring
the appointment of an agricultural
commission in each county, composed
of the County Judge and two practical
farmers. IL is proposed that this
board appoint a county agrieulturalist
who shall visit the farmers, study
their problems and help them in every
possible way. Part of the expense is
to be borne by the state and the re-
mainder by the counties themselves.
A committee, headed by President
Dukek of the League. was named to
work out the details and frame a suit
able bill to be presented to the next
legislature.
The newly formed Tri- County League
will meet three times year and a com
mittee was named to arrange for the
time and place of holding the fair
showing the products of the three
counties.
