LAND CONGRESS ID
 BE HELD IN MOBILE
Object Is to Create Interest in Agricultural De-
 velopment

A land congress will be held in Mo- the Mobile Chamber of Commerce and
 Business Mems league. The movement for this congress was first inaugurated
 by Col. N. F. Thompson, now of Mo bile, but formerly of Birmingham, when he was secretary of the old Commercial club in its early days.
 Recently Colonel Thompson ad-
 dressed letter to the newspapers of Alabama, asking their cooperation In a movement that had for its object the creating of a greater degree of in terest among the people of Alabama ir I the development of its agricultural re- sources. The letter met with such a
 hearty response from every section o1
 the state that the matter was placed
 before the Mobile Chamber of Com merce. That body readily took th'
 matter up and a special committee wa.
 appointed with Colonel Thompson al
 chairman to take the matter in charg. and make the arrangements for tho congress"
 While only initial work has beer done thus far, Colonel Thompson is very enthusiastic and is working hard for its success.
 "I'he movement Is in no way connect ed with the promotion of land spec ulation or other schemes said Colone | Thompson, but is purely a movement to awaken our own people to adop'
 better methods of cultivation, diversi' fled crops, inaugurating boys corn ane hog clubs, so that there can be founc
 object lessons throughout the state al to the productiveness of Alabama lands "When this is done the problem ol immigration for this state will be set lied. as the better class of farmers from the outside will come here vol untarily as settlers and not nave to o' sought after as now.
 The movement will enlist every news
 paper, every probate judge ana ever
 worker in the state. Prominent iah'
 owners will be free to attend so Una
 a systematic action for the entire stat'
 can be adopted and all parts or tn'
 state placed on an equal footing as t'
 possible benefits. Colonel Thompsoi
 stated that there could be added
 round billion of dollars" to the landed
 wealth of the state within the. nex census period if proper co-operauon is aroused along the lines indicated The formal call for the congress nas not vet been prepared, but 1t Is stated that more than 500 names will be at | tached to 1t when ready for the pup | lie.

Many Not Attending Institute

Superintendent Willingham declares that 1t has been called to his attention that a number of the teachers are not at tending the institutes. They have now been in progress for two weeks, accord ing to the superintendent of education, and many reports have been received at the department of education to the effect that the teachers are showing some dis position to ignore the law with respect to attending the institutes.
 The county institutes this year are do- ing a much better grade of work than at any time in the past. believes Superin- tendent Willingham, and he thinks that all teachers in the state. both white and colored. should take advantage of the course of training that is offered them. Those who have failed to attend the insti- tutes in their own counties are privi- legged to attend those in other counties, but no excuses will be accepted unless they are signed by the county superin- tendent of education and by the chairman of the county board.
 T should dislike to. see any teacher in the state debarred from work in the public schools next session owing to their failure to attend the county in- stitutes, said Superintendent Willing ham, but this will certainly be the case if the laws of the state are not com piled with in this respect. The law makes our duty very plain. and we will have no other alternative than to refuse ta let them serve in the public school If they have not received a one week course of instruction in one of the teach CTS institutes of the state.'
