Here il 4 clipping from the local
columns IF the Pelham Journal q
current week which DESERVES con
ditions that appear 70 be quiet gen
eral over a good portion Of South
Georgia
Tie writer when making a trip
to Sale City tile FIRST Of the week
was surprised 70 see many fields
from which no cotton had been
picked during tile past season. i
is his estimate that there could be
seen from the car windows som
sixty bales Of cotton unpicked IN
the fields. One prominent mer-
chant of Sale City made the state
ment that lie believed there was in
Il radius Of ten miles If that town
/ 900 bales ii fields that had been
unpicked during the season and
that now since the heavy rains the
farmers would doubtless make no
effort to gather the crop but woultl
turn it under and proceed with their
farming operations for another year.
II looks ike the rankest i folly
to pillow up Or turn under one
crop Of cotton il preparation for
planting another, but that is jlst
what many farmers are doeing or
getting ready to do.
A more reasonable plan would
seem to be to utilize the laborsthat
will be necessary for planting new
crop to pick out the one already
made but the habit Of planting 50
many acres to the mule every year
has become 50 fixed upon some
farmers that it seems nothing car
get them away from it.
No other business in any othel
country in the world could stanC
such methods as are applied, speak
ing generally, to agriculture i

WOULD FAVOR
OUR Own SHIPS
UNDERWOOD BELIEVES THAT
n U. S. VESSELS SHOULD HAVE
PREFERENCE IN TARIFF.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov. 25,+-Jon-
gresham Oscar w, Underwood
speaking before the Birmingham Ad
Club here today on the merchant ma.
rine said:
! For five decades our business in
terest have largely confined the ad-
sertisement of their goods. wares and
merchandise within the four corners
of continental United States. We
ahve exhausted our productive capac-
ity in most of the lines of trade and
industry until our home markets In
normal times are gorged by over rro-
duction and artificial means have
been resorted to that prices might be
maintained
"The time has come when we must
find foreign markets to consume our
surplus products or future develop
ments In many lines of industry will
cease
There are many ways in which we
can expand our trade beyond the
seas, but the most important of all is
the building up of an American mer-
chant marine that will give us direct
communicated with the countries
where we wish to trade.
'1n the administrations of Jeffer-
son, Monroe, Madison aud Jackson we
encouraged the building Of mer-
chant fleet by giving discriminating
duties to American ships and then we
carried American merchandise into
the ports OF all the world. The time
has come when we should return to
the doctrine of our democratic faith
ers and discriminate in favor Of the
American ships In order that we may
find foreign markets for our surplus
products, relieve congested conditions
at home and give labor constant en-
ployment."

WOMEN'S SKIRTS
STILL TIGHTER

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.- Woman S
dress is to take on an aspect of mill
fancy for the coming year, according
to the edict of the National Cloak,
Suit and Skirt Makers Association,
which met in convention here to-day.
Skirts are to be perfectly straight,
looking like an envelope. Jackets
are to be the same. Narrow skirts
will prevail, with slash, because wo-
men wearing narrow skirts, unslash-
ed, are in constant danger from tails.
Waistcoats will be worn with hear
ly all of the spring suits. They will
be made of contrasting material.
The spring coats are to be made of
stripes and checks mostly. There
are few plain materials in the new
coats.

VARYING VIE VS.
AS TO THE TARIFF
DEMOCRATS ALREADY WORKING
ON PROGRAM FOR COMING
SESSION.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.--The
form that revision is to take before
the special session of congress next
spring has become matter of strong
individual opinion among democratic
senator's and congressman now mere.
Representative Underwood, demo
cratic leader Of the house, who will
reach Washington this week, has Civ
en- no indication yet of his own plans,
and 1t is expected that democratic
leaders will confer at length over the
situation before advising President
elect Wilson of any tentative arrange
ments.
Many members now favor a general
bill covering many or all schedules Of
the tariff bill to be framed as partial
or complete substitute for the PAYNE
Aldridch law. Those who advance
this plan claim that 1t will be the
speediest way Of fulfilling tariff
pledges. Others favor combining in
. single bill those measures passed
in the last two years but vetoed by
President Taft and the preparation Of
other single schedule bills to follow
this measure.

ENGAGED TO MARRY
KILLED BY WIRE
JOE DAUGHERTY RECEIVES TWEEN
TY-TWo HUNDRED VOLTS OF
ELECTRICITY.

ADMISSION, Ala, Nov. 25.-The
wedding plans and hopes of Joe
Daugherty, said to have been engaged
to a girl living on Glenn Addie ave
nue., were blasted forever when he
met his death here this afternoon
about O'Clock at the Kilby Lorcmo
tive and Machine Works, when 2,20C
volts of electricity coursed through
his body.
According to reliable information
Daugherty was pranking with the
starting box for a huge motor in
which there were number of live
wires when in some manner his hand
came in contact with the heavily sur
charged wires, death resulting almost
instantly. In order to reach this box
he had to lift his hand above his
head. His purpose in molesting the
starting box could not be learned.
Another report has it that Daugherty
grabbed one of the live wires in the
box when block on which he was
standing slipped from under his feet.
An investigation showed that the
only part on the body burned was a
spot on the little finger of the left
hand. Daugherty is survived by his
father and several brothers and sis
tiers.

trial today. She asserted that she
had been followed by detectives and
on one occasion another of the Nc
Namara brothers had forced an en-
trance to her room at hotel to
search for papers which he desired

Miss Dye identified hundreds of let
tiers introduced by the government to
sustain its contention that Fran. NJ
Ryan, president of the union, and the
forty-fcur other defendants conspired
to transport explosives illegally in
furtherance of dynamite plots against
non-union firms. The letters were
written by John J. Mcnamara, secre
tary Of the union.
The witness testified she quit the
employment of the iron workers be-
fore the Los Angeles explosion, but
she had written many letters which
the government charges were in fur
therance of earlier explosions.

wHIrMAN,s work GOES ON.

What would it profit the thugs and
gangsters of New York to take the
life of Charles s. Whitman?
They would simply make of him a
martyr to civic duty-a soldier OF
principle, hero of conviction.
And the blood of martyr is always
the seed of cause. Out of the shed
blood of the district attorney would
spring other civic heroes ready to
take up his work and carry it to con
clusicn. The sight of one free man
makes thousands free. The blood OF
one brave man makes thousands
brave.
The assassination of Whitman
would not deter single public SER
want from his duty. 1t would seal
the fate of the thug and the gansster
in New York. The very stones would
rise in mutiny against the reign of
the assassin, and Whitman dead
would plead as powerfully and effec-
lively for civic Righteousness and
public safety as the brave public SER
want is pleading now.

capaign material transmitted lre2 OF
postage through the mails account
ed, according to the poseolice DEPART
ment records, for the dilierencA be-
tween a postal surplus and postal
deficit for tn elast fiscal year, ending
June 80. An account of franked mail
forwarded for congress, the executive
department and other governmental
establishments, show that postage al
ordinary rate on this matter would
have netted the government nearly
$20,000,000. About 3,250,000 of this
would have been paid on political
documents.
The postal service handled during
the year 10,245,000 pieces of franked
mail weighing 61,377, 900 pounds. This
was 3.8 per cent of the total weight of
all domestic mail carried.
During the presidential and con,
gressional primary campaign in the
last quarter of the fiscal year an ex
traordinary amount of franked matter
was sent through the mail at nuhlic

100000 and 100000 pounds, all of
which was transmitted as first class

HAMMOND MAN HAS
PLENTY or COAL
One Thousand Tons of An
thracite Gobbled UP by
Ahlborn.

William Ahlborn & Co. has purchas-
ed 1000 tons of coal from the Erie
Coal Storage Warehouse company 1t
Is hard coal. too, and a result Ahl-
born is the only man in the entire
Calumet region who has all of the coal
he needs
Ahlborn Is q lucky man, 1T is fore
sight? In Gary they are charging
their customers $40 and $11 ton for
hard coal In Hammond the price is
$3.50 This makes a difference OF $3.50
to $3.50 a ton. or an average saving of
SIS to $25 on the seasons supply OF
coal.
All because Hammond happened to
be the site of the Erie coal storage
warehouse and the coal dealers have
not been taking advantage of the fam
fne in hard coal.
The mild winter SO far, has had a
great deal to do with preventing actual
hardships for the want of coal But
at any rate while Gary coal dealers are
paying a premium for their coal, Ahl-
born has 1000 tons right on the
ground.
