 The collector and compiler of statistics must show that he has the goods in the collecting and compiling business. It's going 10 take some hefty compiler to land this job and its 24o0 samolions per annum. He must not only be able to compile in midsummer form at all times but he must also be no slouch at col lecting, for a compiler who has not first collected would be useless adjunct to the public service. After he lands his job. he will be expected to hang hls coat in the left-hand corner of the educa- tional building and spit on his hands and go to 1t as chief of the division of school administration in the bureau of educa- ton in Washington He will be expected to keep in close touch with school super- intendents throughout the country, con cerning himself particularly with school systems in cities of 25,000 population or less, and any other odd jobs which might bob up in his department Any time he has left on his hands he may use in the study of political economy-but this is not compulsory. Besides the usual high scholastic attainments the candidate must have had at least three years experi- ence as superintendent of city schools If VIII Iot Dc Httc9Sdi9 TUT nlfn 10 De an after-dinner speaker-if he keeps up with his job he will have to leave before the speaking commences.
 The examination for specialists in rural educa ton will be held October 19. that of collector and compiler of statistics Oc- tober 26. Candidates will not be required to appear at any place for examination. at least so says the announcement It is supposed, therefore. that the examina ton may be taken from forms sent the candidate by the bureau This will hand. cap the public speaker somewhat, but as a suggestion he might make phono- graph record of his last address to the commercial club or the rural teachers convention and send 1t along. It might help some.

HECTOR LANE WILL TAKE UP FARMING Assistant Chief Clerk in the Agricultural Depart
 ment to Resign

Montgomery, October l.-(Special) )- The announcement that Hector D Lane would resign as assistant chief clerk of the state department of agriculture and
 fies has been confirmed by officials Of that department It is understood that MT. Lane will take a position with a large fertilizer concern. and that hence forth he will devote his time to farming and business pursuits He will probably sever his connection with the agricul- tural department about the 10th of No vember.
 The reported resignation of MT Lane has caused considerable regret in official circles at the capitol, where Mir Lane is popular with all the officials of the state house. It is understood that Mir Lane has had his resignation under con sideration for several months, a number of his friends having been advised of his intention to give up public life.

 One cause of the great discrepancy may be found in the fact that no spring term of the court was held. All the books of the county officials were reported in good order exception those of two Judge A. E. Gamble was the judge presiding and Colonel C. R. Eriken was solicitor. The criminal docket will take precedence of all others this week, and the trial of cases thereon will commence this morn ing.

Washington, October 1.-The United two for high class educators, according
 to recent announcement of the civil Specialist in rural education, at a salary
 of 5000, and a collector and compiler of statistics at S2400.
 As this news will probably be wide spread throughout the country having
 been given to the press by the bureau. 1t Is expected that the mails will be some- ] what burdened with applications for these two jobs from various and sundry spe- 1 cialists in rural education and expert compilers of statistics from every guar ter of the United States.
 The man who fills the first named posi- ton will have to possess thorough
 knowledge of rural conditions; he must 1 be a graduate of a college or university of recognized standing; he must have studied the theory of education for at least one year, or taught the theory of education In a normal schol or college
 for a year or more. and have had at least three years practical experience in
 educational work as superintendent, su- supervisor or teacher.
 If he meets all these requirements he should also be a good public speaker, since the specialist will travel consid- erable part of his time in the interest of
 rural education. Above all he must be
 an enthusiast in the betterment of coun-
 try life. and he must be an enthusiast in
 the better.nent of country schools. The
 man who fills this position Is expected
 to be an important factor in the vigorous
 campaign that the commissioner of edu-
 cation is waginE for the advancement of
 rural education. If he can do all these things and Is all these things and is will

COTTON IS POURING IN

Eufaula, October Especially l)-There has recently developed an unusually heavy demand for the white oak timbers that abound so abundantly along the Pea river swamps in this county and owners of sections who reside in this city are frequently sought with a view of pur- chasing the trees. Deals are frequently consummated whereby large areas of these timbers are disposed of at good prices which are converted into slaves and shipped usually to Mobile where they are utilized for various purposes.
 Rev. B. E. Brown Coming
 The citizens at large and especially the parishioners of St. James Episcopal church are contemplating visit of Rev. Bertram E. Brown with great interest and pleasure about the middle of next month. He has recently made a tour of the Holy land about which he lectures and writes interestingly. He will probably fill the pulpit of the church and lec ture here on the occasion of his visit. Cane Grinding On
 Cane grinding is going on in some sec tions surrounding the city, and the pro- duct Is finding its way here where IL commands from GO to 75 cents per gallon. Postoffice Opening Delayed The new postoffic building will not be ready for occupancy before January 1. owing to some disagreement as to carry ing out the contract.
 Cotton POurs In
 Saturday proved another banner day in cotton circles, the receipts being given at practically 1000 bales on that day. The disposition among the farmers is to sell and the rush upon the compress which is pressing approximately FOO bales daily is indicative that 1t is fast finding it's way to the northern markets.

Cnlman, October 1f.-tSpeeial) )-Durlng The past decade many fine stone and brick business houses have been erected, three fine schoolhouses. and possibly dozens of elegant residences have been erected ilere at a cost of many thousands of dollars in value. and still the end of civic im- rrovement Is not in sight.
 The year 1912 may be considered the banner year of the past decade in the improvements which have been made in Cullman At a very low estimate con tractors have been paid the sum of sl5o.- Cc0 for buildings alone which have been erected within the corporate limits of the town. There have been within the past I2 months more than sG0,0OO spent in build- ing and equipping the town with coni- plete system of cement sidewalks extend ing to almost every section of the city. A great sum of money has also been spent during this time for paving of streets and improvements in the electric light and water plant and the work is not yet complete.
 During the past F months few towns in Alabama can boast of better showing made in civic improvement than Cullman, and only goes to prove the public spirited ness and the prosperity of the people who number less than 400 within the corporate limits.
 As business town there is none bet ter conS lering the population and the size Of ve city. Cullman has no industries 10 speak of from which she gets any great source of revenue, and must depend large ly upon the farming industry for support.
 It is the purpose of the city officials to continue improvements during the coming year. during which time 1t is hoped that a complete system of sewers will be in- stalled, which when completed will be one of the things which the town stands most in need of at the present time. steps to- ward this end have already been taken, and 1t is hoped that by the end of another year the town will be thoroughly equipped along this line.
