COMPELLED BY WALTER HARPER

But Montgomery has the advantage over some other cities: It has good ma- torial to build on and plenty of room to grow in.,.
 Here Clancey reminded me of what Bill Nye said about Birmingham more than 20 years ago. He said that Kansas City had laid out so many town lots to the east and Birmingham had laid out so many to the west that there was but very narrow strip of territory between the two cities.
 Twenty years has made but little differ ence in this condition but there is no tell years
 The trip from Montgomery to Union Springs is one of the saddest experiences that one can imagine.
 In the midst of the scenes of ante bel lum glory now broods waste and desola- ton. Here in the far-famed black belt of Alabama where nature spread the most fertile soils and bathes 1t in golden sum shine and provident rains from heaven is the poorest section of the state.
  ful crops under proper management, but they have been left to the care of un- skilled tenants whose only ambition is to squeeze the maximum of profit from the soil this year without regard to the conservation of it's virtues for coming years The landlord planter who lives in town gets as much yearly rental for worn-out lands as he would from improved lands, and therefore Is indifferent to the gen era1 welfare of the country.
 The little towns along the road are dis appointing. They are the homesitss of land-owning planters who do not live in town The one main residence in the place is usually of handsome and impos- ing proportions. while the other houses are small and uninviting. They are the homes of the depot agent, the ginner, the storekeeper and other subordinate of- ficials of the plantation industry.
 A gin, blacksmith shop . store, some seed houses and a church with maybe a school constitute the average black belt town. The town is usually named for tne ldHuoWueT UT One or n1S onliOTen, per- haps his father or his grandfather The town is without ambition except that all trains be required to stop at the sta ton so that the citizens and children may have some diversion looking at the pas sengers in the car windows.
 The boys like to buy cigarettes from the "newsbutch' and jump on and off the train as it starts out The girls of the community also get lots of fun out of flirting with the fiagman.
 I believe some girls would fall in love with a fencepost if it was wrapped up in a blue uniform with brass buttons and a cap.
 Clancey is puzzling himself a great deal to know what these people did to tighten the monotony before the railroad was built through.
 Down at Reform on the Mobile and Ohio railroad a few weeks ago Clancey says he saw two young girls wait at the depot three hours to see No 37 so by A storm came up and one ,of the girls wanted to go home, but the other pro- tested. "No, I have not missed seeing No. 37 go by in four years. and I am not going to miss 1t this time She stayed and got wrinsing wet, but she went home satisfied.
 Everybody goes down to see the trains so by at Reform.

Rig Orc DenI Made


 It was given out here Saturday even ing that the Anniston Iron corporation individual counties, contingent upon of the city has closed deal with the Cedartown Iron company, recently or ganized, for the lease of Frog noun tain ore property near Piedmont in the northern end of this county. The An niston Iron corporation controls the Mabel McWane furnaces in this city. formerly known as the Woodstock fur naces, among the largest in the coun- try. They recently resumed operation under the management of Fl. E. Me- Wane and are said to be in better con- uition now than ever before.
 Through this deal the Anniston con cern comes into control of about 90D acres of land, including two complete washers. This will enable the minin s of about 5000 tons of ore per month, it is said, and means an increase in the output of the local furnaces.

Calhoun solons on Dispensary

"l would not favor any measure which has as it's object the return of saloons to Alabama or the establish = ment of dispensary system in the state by legislative act" said Rep resentative Joseph J. Arnold Saturday night In referring to the agitation in Calhoun county for the establish ment of a dispensary; but I will favor any bill which grants local option to the popular petition to the probate judge on the part of a majority of tn 0 citizens of any county desiring the privilege of voting on this issue'
 His colleague, c. D. Martin of Jack sonville, has made no public declara- tion as to his attitude, but he has been very public In his expression against prohibition. and it is believed that he would be in favor of local option for this county, having been elected by q big majority when his sentiments were generally known. He also opposed the amendment.
 State Senator T. b. Kilby says he will stand by this platform in the senate, and in the event the state legislature enacts a general local option measure, he will wait for an expression from his people as to his attitude in regard to a dispensary for Calhoun county. E. D. Willett, who with his brother. J. J. Willett, and n. P. Agee, late anti amendment leader. are the champions in Calhoun for a dispensary, stated Saturday evening that no formal action has been taken as yet with this end>in view
 MT. Willett says that he believes there are very few men in Anniston who favor a return of saloons, but that he thinks a dispensary would be ia vored bv A majority of the voters

PLANS FOR BIG
FARMERS MEET

Dickinson, n. D., Nov. 29.--Arrange-
ments for the big farmers meeting to
be held in Dickinson Thursday and
Friday. Dec. Z and s, are progressing
satisfactorily. on account of a lecture
to be held in Dickinson Friday even
ing, Dec. 8, It has been found necessary
to limit the evening meetings to one.
On Thursday evening. Dec. z, Pres.
Frank l.. McVey Of the University Of
North Dakota, will address his audi
ence on Capitalism and Corporation
in Agriculture. All persons agree that
one of the crying needs of agriculture
in this country at this time. is CO.
operation among the farmers. For
very good reasons this cooperation
must come about slowly, but anything
that viii aid the movement should be
heartily supported.
In addition to the speakers men
toned last week, il has been possible
to secure the services of Prof. Thomas
Shaw. who was at the last meeting.
Professor Shaw is so we'll and favora-
bly, known that this mere announce
ment is sufficient. Professor Shaw has
been requested TO speak upon the sub
ject OF hog raising, a subject Of such
importance to this section.
r. r. Flint, dairy commissioner Of
the state, has promised to be present,
and all OF us will be glad to see his
genial countenance again. Mr. Flint
is particularly partial to the western
end Of the state for many reasons. In
the first place the slope country is
his home, and again considerable
part Of the western portion of the
state has followed out cooperation
dairying with very satisfactory re-
suits. Mr. Flint will have practical
suggestions to make regarding the val
ne of cooperation work among the
farmers. He has been one of the lead
ing persons in the state to bring about
cooperation, and he will tell us some
Of it's many advantages in other re-
gions.

AN OLD NEWSPAPER.
jamestown City Library Given a
Quaint Old Relic.

jamestown, N. d., Nov. 2s.-The
city library has been given a copy
of an interesting old newspaper, which
copy has been framed so that both
sides of the paper can be examined
and read. The newspaper referred to
is copy Of The Ulster County Ga
zette, published at Kingston, on Sat
urday,s Jan. 4. 1900. The paper was
given by Roy Wolfer to Miss Jennie
Hall, to be presented to the library.
Two interesting items Of news were
published In the issue, one recording
the death OF George Washington, Dec.
Ia, 1899. and giving an account Of the
burial Of the first president. On this
account the paper is printed with
turned column rules, as sign of ma
tional mourning
In the foreign news columns of the
paper are found items regarding the
progress of Napoleons campaign in
the old world and noting the fact
that Napoleon had Just arrived in
France from the campaign in Egypt,
leaving the army there for more irn-
portant business at home.
The advertisements in the paper
contain some quaint notices. One
is poetical advertisement OF a dry
goods store; another @adp offers to
exchange Scholarly peas for wheat.

HAS GATHERED
fine EXHIBIT
COUNTIES WITHOUT RAILROAD
FACILITIES MADE LEAD
AT LAND SHOW.

Mandan. NJ D., Nov. 2s.--c. L, Tim
norman. treasurer OF the Missouri
slope organization. has been engaged
in a campaign in Morton county for
exhibits for the twin city land prod
ucts show, and has been successful in
securing displays which will be used
to excellent advantage.
One Of the most striking features Of
the display from this section will be
found in the contributions from the
north end counties, which now are
without railroad facilities. These In
clude Dunn, Mercer and oliver, The
display win furnish a strong argument
for the early construction Of railroads
into those sections.
The dairying feature will be played
particularly strong. Morton county is
recognized as North Dakota's biggest
daIrying district, having greater
number of creameries and a larger
output Of creamery products than any
other county. In many butter contests
this county has been first.

superintendent e. ]. Taylor.
Just how the department of public
instruction is flooded with teachers
examination papers, all of which must
pass the investigation of the state sup
erintendent. During the November ex-
aminations held in the various counties
1884 applicants wrote examination pa
pers. About 100 of the applicants wrote
for first grade elementary certificates
and were required to have standings on
sixteen different subjects. The bal
ance who wrote for second grade ele-
mentary certificates were required to
have standings on eleven different sub
Jects, making a total OF nearly $4,000
individual subjects to be reviewed by
the state superintendent and to be re-
ported back to the counties separate
ly. Superintendent Taylor is of the
opinion that when this vast amount
of work is realized some patience will
probably be exercised by those await
ing returns.
Another vault is being constructed in
the basement of the capitol building.
This additional vault will be in the
east wing, and Carpenter Chamberlain,
who is drilling through a 24-inch brick
wall, to make the aperture for this adj
ditional storage room, is of the opinion
that IL the whole building had been
constructed as strong as that part Of
the basement where he is now operat-
ing, the old building would undoubted-
ly stand the elements of ages.

be surveyed with the other townsites.
One OF the townsites was ON the
Northern Pacific survey and one was

railroad for it's reservation land and
was the first town inside the border
and its location Is particularly com
manding, while the Great Northern
townsite, reinstated. is the last on
the line, being close to the Missouri
river. and it therefore was very inn
portant.
Settlers in the district and prospec-
tive home builders are decidedly well
pleased at the governments action in
reinstating the two townsites as ii
will have tendency to remove the
heretofore unsettled situation that ex-
listed with reference to the routes and
locations of the towns.
Surveys Of the properties are re-
sponsible for the new action of the
government officials, showing that
there was not enough to make the
action previously taken advisable

half ago. He secured employment at
the high school building, and his son
went to work for farmer His father
