 Not Enjoy

Its an ill wind that blows nobody good" is proven by the recent failure of distinguished party of geographers which failed to reach Birmingham sew eral days ago on account of an unayoid- able delay in train schedules. The party was touring the country and was made up largely of foreigners who had been attending a convention in New York city Elaborate arrangements had been made by the Birmingham Chamber of Com merce for a banquet to be rendered the visitors, and when they failed to show up the banquet was sent wholesale tc the Anti Tuberculosis camp on Red noun tain.
 Dr. George Raves. secretary of the Anti Tuberculosis association, expresses his thanks as follows:

REDUCTION OF THE PRESENT
 COTTON FARE RATE SOUGHT

Montgomery, October 2f.-tSpecial.)- With a view to securing righteous adj justment of the cotton tare question: 2 conference of the commissioners of agri- culture of the southern states will be held at Raleigh, N. C., on November ', and 9, at which time there will be pres ent delegates from each of the southern states for the purpose of securing re- duction of the present 6 per cent tare. The meeting will be held in connection with the annual convention of the Asso- citation of Commissioners of Agriculture and Agricultural Workers.
 A letter calling attention to the impor- tance of adjusting the cotton tare ques- tion has been sent to Capt. Reuben r. Kolb. commissioner of agriculture and in- dustries, by senate committee of the Georgia legislature, in this communica- tion. the committee asks that all possible secure a reduction of the present cotton tare rate characterizing the present rate of per cent as arbitrary and unjust.
 The letter of the committee is as follows:
 We are making an effort to secure a righteous adjustment of the cotton tare question and hope for a tare by mutual consent, satisfactory and just to all, in- stead of the arbitrary tare of per cent. which was adopted when the cordage and covering were very heavy, and the bales werev light Now the ties and cover ing are much lighter and bales consider ably heavier. Yet this arbitrary tarc stands against our cotton, whether used

PRAISES ARTICLES
 BY JOHN w. DUBOSE
Attalla Physician Thinks They Should Be Kept in Book Form for
 Preservation

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 have read with much pleasure the history of our state during reconstruc- tion days by the able pen of the Hon. John Witherspoon DuBose, and I'm thor oughly convinced of it's great worth to the present generation. and would be a valuable history for our children, it so vividly portrays the carpetbag and scaawag characters us well as the true southern spirit of forbearance and their ability to grapple with intricate ques- tions and finally to overcome all obstacles by their great courage and wisdom un- der circumstances that truly tried men in the fires of adversity and poverty. We have not had an example of such patriotism and self-sacrifice in republic that had for it's motto Liberty or Death" We, too, soon forget the great heroism of our fathers and mothers dur ing such trying times.
 The present generation is running com mercially mad and reads trashy novel literature too much entirely for the good of their posterity and as a result will be too easily influenced by demagogues and politicians who are willing to sacrifice principle and statesmanship for office. Such citizenship will not post them selves on the principles of good govern mcnt, which could be prevented by their studying the lives of our able statesmen whose acts and lives shown so brilliantly during 6l-65 and in reconstruction days. Unless this is done we will soon have a very corrupt citizenship and a natural l.a,, ment.
 There isn't probably one in a thousand of the sons can give good and re- liable sketch of the reconstruction period. and for that reason. if for nothing else, | suggest that Prof. J w. DuBose put these sketches into book form so that we can refresh our memories of those trying days, and if possible increase our re- spect and love for our fathers and moth CTS. At the same time it will teach us how to handle such questions if they eyer should arise.
 These sketches show a beautiful con trast of characters (southerner and car petbager) and the ability of statesmen to handle intricate state and national ques- tions Those days were more trying than actual war with the southerner as his disposition is to fight openly. with energy and to face difficulties promptly and ! courageously.
 | It is blessing to our state that We have such men as Professor DuBose tc give us such valuable sketches of the part our fathers played In the reconstruc- ton and upbuilding of our state. Re spectfully,
 R. F. MCCONNELL, NJ. D. Attalla, October 20, 1912.

]. r. ROBINSON ID
 SUCCEED BLACK Judge Lane Will RecOm- mend Young Attorney
 to Commission

Joseph F. Robinson, a young attorney residing in Woodlawn, will be elected re- corder of the police court this morning by the commission, if the recommenda- tions of Judge A. O. Lane are concurred in by his two associates. Judge Lane has not given out the name of his ap- pointee, but he conferred with Mir. Exum and Mir Weatherly and Mir. Robinson was Slated. Judge Lane yesterday afternoon told petitioners in the interests of other applicants that he committed himself to a noble. well equipped young man" last Friday afternoon. The resignation of Judge Hugo Black was announced last Saturday afternoon.
 Mir. Robinson has been here some time, it Is understood, and has offices in the Empire building. He Is said to be vel informed attorney, and for his prospec- tive appointee Commissioner Lane speaks highly.
 It is understood that several very prom inent members of the Birmingham bar have been in a receptive mood for the position, but have restrained from active ly fighting for the post. As late as yes terday afternoon applications were made to Commissioner Lane, MT. Exum and MT. Weatherly by young attorneys who were not informed that final committal had been given for MT. Robinson.

in America or Europe. There should bo cooperation from every section. If 1t requires per cent of tare to protect ou- cotton and satisfy the trade, every man who produces cotton should see that the full amount of tare is put on. If less is sufficient to protect the cotton in transit and satisfy the trade, we should demand a reduction of tare allowance or be robbed. It is gross injustice to force from the producer per cent of his cot ton for tare, and equally bad for the ex- porter after thus forcing this amount from the producer, to pile on extra bagging until 1t is over tared creating prejudice against our cotton, and preventing an ad- justment of this important question.
 "The producers can greatly assist in our work, if they would put up their cot ton in better shape. The committee has arranged for a conference on this ques- ton with a view to standardzing the tare. We have asked the governors of cotton states to appoint delegates and the commissioners of agriculture are earnest ly requested to attend the conference and help us. We cordially invite delegates from our agricultural organizations, cot ton exchanges, association of cotton man. ufacturers, from among our congressman and agricultural colleges. and hope some thing will be accomplished.
 ''The convention is to be held with the annual Association Of Commissioners of Agriculture and Agricultural Workers at Raleigh, N. C.. November :, 8 and g.
 We most respectfully beg the press to give to this announcement space in their columns We will welcome their repre- sentatives to our conference, and will ap- preciate most highly their kind co-opera- tion and assistance"

OWEN ENTHUSIASTIC
Meeting Tomorrow Will Be Held at Business Mems League Instead of Exchange Hotel-Birming-
 ham to Send Delcg

Montgomery, October 21.-(Special)-An- houncement is made that the meeting o' the Alabama Centennial and Exposition committee will be held in the auditorium of the Business Mems league on next Wednesday instead of at the Exchange hotel, as had been previously announced owing to a conflict in dates, 1t has jus' been learned that the Centennial commit tee will not be able to meet at the Ex- change hotel, the auditorium of that hotel having been previously engaged for an other meeting on that day.
 According to pr. Thomas NJ. Owen chairman of the Centennial committee all indications point to a most enthusiastic meeting on next Wednesday, He declares that he Is daily receiving letters from members of the committee advising hirl that they will be present, and at the same time expressing their entire approval oi the movement to hold a big exposition in 1919 in celebration of Alabama's admis- sion into the union.
 Indications point to the fact that Bir- mingham and Montgomery will be partic- ularly vigorous in bidding for the expo sition. Other cities in the state, accord ing to pr. owen, will also make q strong effort to secure the exposition, though i' is probable that the principal contest VIII be between Birmingham and Montsonl- cry. with the former city slightly in the lead.
 It is understood that strong delega- ton will come down from Birmingham to attend the meeting of the centennial committee, and that this delegation com posed of the most representative business men of the Magic Llty, will put forth eV-
