GROCERY STORE IS
ROBBED LAST NIGHT
Thieves With Horse Secure
Loot Worth in Neighbor-
hood Of 500.

Sometime last night thieves entered
the grocery store of Fred Fandrei. 29s
North Holman street. Hammond. They
effected an entrance by means of a
window in the.reel of tho store. using
an iron bar to z6 * open and carried
their spoiis s. he baek door
sacks. two 50 pounds sacks and eight
25 pound sacks OF Pillsburg's -four.
twenty cans of peas. tobacco and num-
erous other small articles.
Mr., Fandrei put the loss this morn
ing at close to 500 as he said articles
were taken that he did not know just
what amount he had. As in some of
the past robberies the thieves evident
ly had horse and wagon to cart away
the stolen articles which could not have
been carried away as they took away
close to three barrels of flour alone.
No clews have BEEN found up to
this morning. but 1t is thought by the
police it is the same parties that ent-
cred the Erie freight house and other
robberies some time ago. This is the
first robbery that has been reported %
the police since March 13.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Many Italians

"It is reasonable to say that no city in the south, unless it be New orleans, and that no city in the north of Blr- mingham's population class, has so large an Italian colony as this city" said Charles Arnold of Chicago, after lie had watched the parade of Italian societies esterday-Columbus Day.
 T knew that an industrial center like Rirming gham would have a considerable percentage of foreigners, but l had never imagined that there were so many It1ians here. l would estimate that there were something like 1900 men in line which would indicate an Italian population of 5000 to 1000. Of course, Chicago has an immense foreign ele- ment, including a large percentage of immigrants from sunny Italy; but out side of cities above the 250,000 mark foreigners are not very numerous.
 "All the Italians that I have come in contact with have been industrious and law abiding, and those l have seen today looked like good sturdy citizens. The Italian parade certainly gave Bir- mingham a metropolitan appearance"

From the New York American.
 Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Edward White of Santa Barbara, Cal, returned on the steamship Cedric from a lion-hunting eX- petition in British East Africa. During the eight months they tracked the king of the forest MT. and Mrs. White were in danger of losing their lives on 21 differ ent occasions.
 "On those occasions said MT. White, i've were in tight corners, where only straight shooting counted. miss would have meant death. My wife does not shoot, but she was interested in the hunt and wanted very much to capture a python She did not succeed, but I killed ten lions. four leopards, and have brought back with me the heads of a hundred antelopes, elk, deer. and other horned animals.
 "We left New York last October and reached Mombassa in November. The variety of the game in that country is in conceivable, and on one occasion we watched a string of game four miles long going down the hillside to water. I hunt ed lions mostly. and just before we left the country I shot what l believe is the largest lion ever killed.
 "He measured Il feet inches in length and stood 3 feet inches in height. I tracked him for five miles, and finally killed him 200 yards from the railroad on the Kapiti Plains, near Nairob. The lion and will be sent here next month. The l'rhinoceri were more to be feared than the lions. Only once when I wounded lion ess were we in grave danger but time and again a herd of rhinos chased us, and we were forced to climb trees to save our lives.
 "Once we were hiding in a tree when they charged at the trunk. The whole tree shook so much that we were nearly shaken from our places, and we were very thankful when they gave up the siege and we were able to climb down | again. I seldom shot them except 1T 1 self defense, as I was not anxious to | load up my wagon with their hides Game is more plentiful in Africa now | than it ever was. People imagine the continued visits to the jungle by hunters will result in the extermination of good many valuable species. But it does not | seem to be so Every lion killed means | the lives of 200 other animals saved, as | tliat is the average annual menu for the | lion.h

Bears in Georgia

A dispatch to the New York Tri- bune states that Monroe Phillips, the owner of 5000 acre farm on the Ocmulgee river, 12 miles below Ma con, has written to the Secretary of War asking if the government will send troop of soldiers to assist him in exterminating the bears that infest his place. He has also invited ex- President Roosevelt to come and hunt on his farm. MT. Phillips says that his plantation is ravaged by the bears, which are just emerging from the immense swamp canebrakes, pre- paratory to entering their winter Information. He says that more than two score of his pigs have been car ried off, his cotton and corn tram pied down, his poultry yards raided and his sugar cane patch torn up. He estimates that there are at least 200 bears, some of which weigh several hundred pounds each, in the swamps near his farm.
 This is certainly situation. Mir. Phillips is oppressed by an invasion of bears in one of the original 13 states. It is not a case that calls for government troops until the state troops have been vanquished, but it does call for Bwana Tumbo, whose newspaper engagements are not inn perative or controlling, or even deep- ly interesting. As a lover of big game the case on the Ocmulgee should appeal to him far above any editorial writing. The country awaits his answer, or rather Mir. Phillips does, for 200 bears, acting to- gether, is force not to be dispised, or encountered on dark night. If Bwana Tumbo declines to listen to MT. Phillips earnest appeal he should

THE NEWER WOMAN

From the Rochester Democrat and
 Ch onicle.
 Has someone been lying about the women officials of Hunnewell, Kas.? This horrid suspicion is aroused by read ing all account of the doughty deeds of Marshal Rosie l.. Osborn of that place. Marshal Osborn says with emphasis that she and her sisters in office in Hun newell arc not discodraged by their ex- perenccs in public life We wouldn't contradict inc marshal. Certainly we would not contradict her in her hearing
 Mrs. Osboin has been marshal almost six months, and itSis averred that she llas not quaied before lawbreakers She weighs PC pounds, towers six feet high, and in othec days developed muscle in such parsuits as driving mules and butch eriug hogs. She admits without hesita- . tion that 1t is 4s years since she saw the light. and il appears that she believes in putting into effect all that she has learned about righteousness in those years. Strange as it may seem in woman, Marshal Osborn believes that there are times when person may be better occn- piS' ii'o'i III dlttiiuillS tiluICii. oDe was on her way to church last Sunday morn- ing when she heard a boisterous noise and the rattle of poker chips coming from a store, She continued to church, where
 she met tue city clerk, Mrs. Hilton, and the famous mayor, Mrs. Ella Wilson and the three iaid seige to the building un- til evening. When the six offenders fin- 1 ally consented to come out the women of | ficiais arrested them all, namely the act | ing postmaster, the deputy sheriff, a mer-
 chant and three others, and on their pjeadine guilty next day fines were im- pcscd.
 | This is the latest story that has drifted
 east from Hunnewell, and it puts another | face on the course of events there The | redo ubtaple marshal declares that the women of the city are by no means cast down. that they are going to fight until
 they see the day when women will have as much voice in the government as men. | lt looks as though she is a prophet
 blessed with life in the era that she | thinks she foretells.

Highly Educational

The educational value of Birming- hams State Fair cannot be over estimated, for it shows not only Ala bama's natural resources, but what can be done and what has been done in developing these resources.
 It is a splendid fair. That of 1910 was many degrees better than that of the year before and the 1909 fair was remarkable advance over anything of the kind that had been undertaken in this state Every one is familiar with Alabama's mineral wealth and with the Birmingham distirct as an industrial center. Vast strides have been made by the industrial cor porations here within the past five years, but the story of Alabama's coal. iron and steel has been told and retold until there is scarcely any thing left to say. The public knows the story well.
 But Alabama's wonderful forward movement as an agricultural state is a different matter. It is simply revelation to thousands of those who are attending the fair.
 No state is so favored by nature in an agricultural way as Alabama; but notwithstanding soil and climate that are exceptionally adapted to all kinds of crops the farmers, as a rule, have only recently walked up to the impor- tance of diversified agriculture. To- day Alabama is coming right to the front in scientific husbandry. This has always been great cotton state; but it is producing more cotton to the acre than formerly, and many pro- gressive farmers are satisfied with nothing less than bale to the acre, instead of bale to two acres as two or three years ago, and pale to three acres five years ago.
 Until last year Alabama was large buyer of corn. Now most of the corn fed to stock is grown in the state. In the next year or two Ala bama will be a big seller of corn. Why not? And it will be a still big ger seller of hay. Alfalfa will soon be as important a commercial crop as cotton. And then the hogs and other live stock, and the chickens and the eggs and the orchard products!
 A note of high intelligence runs through it all. The fair is indeed an educator, and the stimulus that it will give in the matter of cultivating next years crops will be marvellous. Watch the farmer!

In the Face of the Years Crop

The average price of cotton in 1908 was 9.4 cents; in 1904 it was S9 cents. These were large crop years, the commercial crop in each year ex- ceeding 13,000,O00 bales.
 The crop this year may go to 14,- 900, ,000 bales, and yet the price will not go below g cents if the farmer will distribute the weight of actual cotton over all the months of the cot ton year. No doubt the crop has been rapidly picked and ginned. The weather has been hot and dry.
 The mills will absorb 14,000,000 bales. Reserve stocks are low and all will be well if the farmers will hold back a part of their crops. The haste in marketing works harm to the producer and good to the spin ners. At present when all feel the size of the crop the spinners will reap a rich harvest The crop may go to 14,OOO,OOO bales, and then again it may not. The crop of 1908 was 13,5s7, 900 bales; that of 1904 was 19,679,OOO bales. These are two greatest crops ever grown, unless the crop of 1911 exceeds them. This re- mains to be determined in the next three months. In the meanwhile the best experts say the marketing of the crop should be extended over all the months of the cotton year. Many a farmer can do this, thereby helping himself and all other producers.

POOR OLD VULCAN.

Vulcan, the mighty man of iron, whose fame has been heralded from one end of the country to the other and has even been waited abroad to foreign lands-Vul- can who has stood in august majesty at the State Fair grounds ever since he was rescued from threatened oblivion and set once more upon his legs, is still vis- ible in his accustomed place, but in one Of his mighty hands reposes a huge ar tifcial ice cream cone, which advertises tlie output of a local factory. The United States flag has been used by certain comedian to exploit himself and his fam fly, lovely Venus of Melos is forever as- sociated with a well-known brand of c- sarettes. Therefore, it is not at all sur prising that the armorer of the gods should in his latter days be made an ob- ject of ridicule by what we are pleased

Regarding Jim Crow Laws

Rocker Washington. l am sure, mis- apprehends the meaning that the par agraph writer meant to convey ir these words: Booker Washington is some times comrelled to charter an entire Pullman in order to get around Jim Crow laws remarked a prominent citizen. "The meaning in the mind of the writer was doubtless that in or der to get a berth at all to sleep in pr. Washington is sometimes com pelled to charter an entire Pullman car. This is aussming that the Pullman company does not in all states offer berths to colored passengers The num- Der who would want them would be small, and a Pullman conductor might declare his car full up when col ored passenger applied for a berth.
 Booker Washington stands true to his own people and no charge to the contrary is well founded. His life is devoted to their betterment and inn provement and he is surely doing a great deal. No one has done more for the negro race in this country than coin. And while he is helping the col ored people to a better education he is striving at every point and in every way to lessen the friction between whites and blacks. The latter is mat ter he never neglects or forgets

Cross Continent Flights

Editor Hearst hung up 1000 purse to go to tbe first aviator who succeeded in flying acros sthe coun- try from sea to sea. Fowler started first, travelling with prevailing winds from San Francisco eastward. When he reached the Sierras and attempted to cross them at an elevation of at least a mile he said his propeller refused to grip the thin air, and he gave up the task. Ward started from New York. He encountered heavy fall rains, and he never got out of New York state. The third starter, Rodgers, also started from New York, and he is holding resolutely to his task. MT. Rodgers proposes to go to California via San Antonio and the Southern Pacific railroad, thus avoid ing heavy mountain difficulties.
 The task is one that probably can not be accomplished in the teeth of

winds from the west, for the winds
 of this country almost without cx- ception blow from west to east. No
 winds in this country traverse the county from east to west 4 few, it is true, come up from the Caribbean
 sea, but they are few indeed when compared with years total.
 The task of crossing the continent in airships goes over to next year. Each year brings developments in aviation, as in past years came im- provements in navigation and in loco motives. Fifty years is none too long a term in which to give man full power over the air. The air will be conquered as the water has been. The Wrights have given the world full assurance of victory in the end, and for the rest we should be content to await development. We are at the very beginning of the conquest of the air. Beachey and Hamilton seem to have triumphed, but they have not. Much remains to be accomplished, and it will all come in due season. have no doubt about that. When Beachey swung at ease over this city as a bird flies, all could read, even without the prophetic eye, the story of aviation in the future.
