PHOTO PLAYERS ARE
 MOVING TO MOUNTAIN
Director Considering Proposition of Making Films of Local Indus
 trial Plants

The Lubin photo players were busy yes terday moving to their newly leased stu dio, the Bluf Park hotel, on Shades mountain. Two automobile trucks were vsed in moving the special scenery that will be used and the personal effects of the players.
 F. J. Brandon, director of the company, yesterday bought several loads of lumber and hired number of carpenters, who immediately went to work on Shades mountain to build the large stage tha. will be needed by the players. Elec- tricians and other woikmen already are working at the Bluff Park hotel getting the place in readiness for the arrival oi the players who are expected to take pos session of the hotel some time today.
 According to W. c. Clifton, who writes the photo plays for the company, the fiist play on a western subject will be posed the first of next week if weather and light conditions permit.
 The Bluff Park hotel appears such an ideal place to pass the winter that the leading players of the Lubn company may remove there instead of living in town and motoring out and back daily. D asserted MT. Clifton.
 It was suggested to MT. Brandon yes terday that it would be u good idea to take motion pictures of the various pro cesses of the steel making industry. MT. Brandon took the suggestion under con sideration and may act on 1t later if the necessary permission is secured from the Tennessee company. It was ascertained through John W. Sbley, president of the Chamber of Commerce. that the chamber would gladly cooperate in every way in securing permits for the Lubin compary y to take motion pictures of any of the in- dustrial plants of the districts.

BUILDING PERMITS
November, 1912, Drops Below Record
 of Same Month Last Year


 According to the monthly report of Building Inspector Matthews, the esti- mated costs on building permits during November was several hundred thousand dollars below that of November of ono year ago Mir. Matthews explains this by the fact that the permit for the Amer ican Trust and Savings Bank building was issued during November of 1911, while no large permits were issued during the past month. As noted in The Age-Herald some weeks ago. the total estimated costs for the year 1912 will exceed that of 1911 byNat least one-half million dollars. The first ii months already show about si0o. 600 gain over the total of 1911. The re- ports for November follows:
 Total building permits issued. 240i esti- mated building costs. ss4s. ssl. During No vember of 1911 the total permits issued were BOT and the estimated building costs was $79l.so6

 According to the postmaster these Red Cross seals or stamps should be placed on the back of the envelope or package and not on the addressed side. which embar- rasses the cancelling clerk The instruc- tions now in force in the local postoffics Is that any envelope or package carry ing stamps or seals other than the reg ular federal postage on the address side shall be consigned to the dead letter of. flee
 At this time last year Frank Hitoaa- cock. Postmaster General ordered that all mail and parcels having any kind e stamp or seals on them should be sent to the dead letter office. This ruling on the part of the Postmaster General met with such a protest from the American Red Cross authorities that the order was modified to allowing postmasters to use their own discretion in the matter.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Farmers View of oleomargerine Ia,

Farmers View of Ole0maFgerlne Tax To the Editor of The Herald:
 I notice in your issue of November 30 an article asking for the repeal of the olecmargerine tax by c. w. Ash craft of Florence, president of the h. terstate Cottonseed Crushers' associa- ton. And as a farmer I would like to have space In your valuable paper to show the public the unreasonableness of MT. Ashcrafts demand.
 In the first place, Mir. Editor. the masses of the people are being fed by manufacturers and mixers on many eatables that are not what they are branded to be- The farmers of the United States don't object to the mix ing of cotton seed oil and beef tallow and branding 1t as such and selling 1t as such. But they do object to mix ing the two and coloring it like butter and selling 1t for butter.
 MT. Ashcraft uses the same argu- ment as all schemers by saying he wants to make a butter for the poor man and his family. At the same time he (Mr. Ashcraf) and his associates are robbing the poor farmer who pro- duces the cotton seed of millions of dollars yearly by the combination of the Cottonseed Crushers' association. He says in his article that cotton seed sells at 40c per pound and his slogan is s1 per pound when the ginners of the southern states, where the seed are bought, have the price dictated to each by the aforesaid association, and they get the small sum of three fourths of cent per pound. But when the association gets the seed and with their skillful manipulation they are worth 40 cents per pound.
 shall, as an individual, write to the Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, Thomas Heflin. Fred Blackmon and other representatives of the southern states to see if the Cottnseed Crushers asso : citation is not a violation of the Sher- man act.
 The 1910 seed crop brought $50 per ton; prime meal sold at the mills for s25 per ton and hulls from $s to s1O per ton. The 1911 seed brought $15 per ton, just halfl Prime meal sold at BPS to s3O at the mills, and hulls at $S to s10 per ton
 MT. Editor, I think any man can see at a glance that the combination got more for the by-product of $15 ton seed than they did for $30 ton seed And it is not question of the farmers get ting better price for seed. They have to submit to the aforesaid association and take its price, since all gins are notified at beginning of season as to price to be paid for seed And when one gin gets notification. all the oth- CTS get the same.
 So 1t is up to the farmer to either keep his seed or sell to this association. T. M. ADERHOLD. R. F. D.. Anniston, Ala. December 3, 1912.
