CAPTAIN KOLB SEES GREAT
 PROSPERITY FOR ALABAMA

That a period of marvellous prosperity is about to come was the prediction yes tprday of Captain Reuben r. Koib. com missioner of agricultuSe. who spent the Gay in Birmingham
 ''The year of the lean ear has passed" stated the commissioner, and the year of plenty Is about to succeed There is great reason why the people should rejoice.
 The cotton crop is spotted, that is, il is excellent in some places and bad in others. Alabama will produce about three fourths of the crop of las year. Every other southern state will produce a smaller crop than in 1911 win the ex- ception of Oklahoma and Texas. As result, the farmer will get a good price for his cotton. This in itself spells pros- perity
 "Another reason why I make my predic- tion is that there s abundance of corn There is q fine grain crop in every coun- tv of the state. It will be seen there fore, that whereas the farmer will have cotton with which To trade for real money he will have in addition plenty of grain to eat and feed his stock.
 Tt will be a great season for Alabama and the people Of the south. In all my experience I have never behed a more promising outlook"

OF RACE RIOTS
 IN SPRINGFIELD INVERTED

where is the nigger' were, frequently heard and it was some time before. the throng could be convinced that no negro had been apprehended.
 Later the rumor spread that this wcs a ruse of the authorities and that a ne- gro had been arrested and was in jail.
 At o'clock the coroner realizing that the situationswas becoming grave request ed the newspapers to bulletin the fact that the public would be permitted to view the body of the murderer to satisfy the people that Johnson really had killed him self
 Hundreds flocked to the undertaking cs- tablishment where the bodya had been taken and thereafter the excitement gradually subsided.
 An autopsy held on the body of Miss Powers failed to show she had been previ- ously attacked by the negro as was re- ported soon after the crime became known. Two bullets were found imbedded in the base of the skull. The negro had been infatuated with the girl, but had not nlolested her previously, it is said.

PROBE TOBACCO
 BUYING TRUST

Washington. August 24.-To ascertain whether a tobacco buying trust" has been formed by the governments of Italy, Austria, France, Spain and Japan to depress prices on the American mar ket the House today passed bill pro viding for an investigation by a special congressional commission. The Senate already. had passed the bill. The five governments concerned are declared to exercise a monopoly in the manufacture of tobacco and although they buy heav- fly fin the American market, competition between them is said to have been dead letter for years and the prices paid have been steadily depressed until the Ameri- can grower now is said to be forced to dispose of his crop at a price lower than the growing cost. The proposed commits sion is to consist of three Senators and three Representatives.

ASK SENTENCESON COREANCHR|ST|ANS Ten Years Demanded on Six; Five to Eight
 for Others

Seoul, Corea, August 24.-Prosecutor Matsudera today asked the court trying the 123 Coreans charged with being inn plicated in plot against the life of Count Terhuchi, governor general of Corea, to inflict sentences of 10 years each on Baron Yunchiho and five other lead CTS of the Sinminhoi, secret society hay ing for its object the establishment of an independent Corea. He also asked that the other IF prisoners each be given terms of imprisonment ranging from five to eight years. The fact that no death sentences were requested by the prose- cutor appeared to surprise some of the prisoners.
 . Assistant Prosecutor Sakai, in a speech made previously to the plea of M. Mat sudera, outlined the governments case against the defendants He said court lawyers had carefully investigated the cases and had protected the interests of the accused. Some prisoners, he said, had assumed a defiant attitude and had made groundless depositions. He de- clared a conspiracy certainly existed. M. Sakai traced the course of the leaders and the movement of the Sinminhoi against Japan, alleging that at meetings
 nfamatory speeches were delivered and anti-Japanese writings distributed. He gave the names and the number of per sons who attended those gatherings
 The assistant procurator said that head master of the school taught his pupils to be opposed to Japan and that essays written in this vein by the pupils had been siezed by the authorities.
 In conclusion M. Sakai said the entire conspiracy had culminated in a decision to assassinate Count Terauchi and other gov ernment officials and that the plot had been approved by Baron Yunchiho and Yang Kiln Tax, leaders of the Sinmin- Ihoi

TAL[ADEGA PLANS ID HAVE HOME COMING
Commission Form of Gov ernment Disappointing
 to Advocates

Talladega, August 24.-(Special )-Talla- dega is jubiant over obtaining an un- linited supply of pure water The citi- zens have it in mind to celebrate with a water carnival, a homecoming and a birthday celebration all combined. Sonic research has been necessary to establish just exactly the age of the town. From the recent delving in old records it ap- pears that Talladega was voted on, sue oessfully, as a county seat in January, 1s33-the site receiving the greater num- Der of votes over MardisvilIe and Middle ton because it was an Indian battle ground.
 For 16 years Talladega got along with out being Incorporated On February g, 1850 there was a vote on interpretations 6S votes for incorporation and four votes against it. The area of the town was three-fourths of a mile in every direction from the courthouse. Thus it will be seen that Talladega has been county seat 7S years, and a town 62 years.
 Some of the warmest supporters of the commission form of government for Tal- ladega, after it has been tried one year express disappointment at the results. If has not achieved what they hoped. TX- pressions are heard from various citizens to the effect that the former mayor and aldermen system was preferable in many regards, and it is very likely when the legislature meets that efforts will be made to revert to the former plan.
 There are five candidates for a vacaney 2 on the board of commissioners, but none of the asprants seem to be pushing the canvass with any ginger, although a sal ary of $9g0 is at the end of the rainbow.
