FORESEES ALIEN PERIL
British Consul General Writes
About immigration Problem.
SWARMS OF ILLITERATES
Mr. ponnatt Evnraccpc Foar Of
Mr.. Bennett Expresses Fear of
Lessening of Anglo Saxon
Supremacy in America.

In his annual report 10 the British Par
lament, Courtenay Walter Bennett, British
Consul General at New York, expresses a
vague fear that the enormous influx OF
immigrants. with different ideas OF law,
liberty and Justice than those who founded
the country. may lead to serious trouble
in the future He intimated that the out
look indicated n lcsscnins OF Anglo-Saxon
supremacy
The report. which consists OF nifty print
ed pages, covers a wide range OF topics,
from the usual trade reports to a study Of
social and economic conditions OF the
country.
The future Manhattan Island, in the
opinion OF Consul General Bennett. will be
a city OF towering skyscrapers, with rents
80 high that the average business house
will be forced to seek quarters outside Of
Manhattan Island.
He also points out that New York City
is losing its supremacy as the money CEN
ire OF the United States. which Is due, he
declares. to the increase Of wealth In other
parts Of the Union. The basis for this con-
clusiOn he found in the bank Clearances
during the years 1g05-lgll, which show that
New York in 1911 had only IS per cent OF
the entire bank clearances of the United
States, as opposed to 65 IN 1905.
Speaking OF the influx OF immigration
Mr. Bennett said:
The new immigration is illiterate in the
proportion OF $50 per cent conn AIRED with
q per cent of the old; II acquires English
very sloWly-Cften not at all-while races
OF the old immigration either spoke English
TO begin with or a tongue SO allied to Eng
lsh that its acquisition was easy. il is
very largely a male immigration, whereas
the old was an immigration OF families,
IL IS nomadic, where the old was settled;
Il is. comparatively, segregated; finally, II
Is not an immigration at all. in the sense
that the old was. but an advancing and

FARMERS WORK IN
 SPITE 0F WEATHER
Captain Kolb Says Sale Of Fertilizer Is Indication
 of Activity

Capt Reuben r. Kolb, commissioner ol agriculture, spent yesterday and last night in Birmingham. He leaves this morning for Sylacauga, Dadeville and other points where manufacturers of fertilizer are To- cated, it being his duty to make such an inspection annually.
 "On account of the weather" stated the commissioner the farmers of the state are considerably behind in their work. However. there is no doubt but that they are making a strenuous effort to catch up with time. During the last few days, my office has received $35,eoC in return for the sale of fertilizer tags. This is an indication that the farmers are working in spite of unpropitious weather. I expect that as a result of the tag sales this month, the office will re- ceive about s15,oOo.
 "The farmers are cutting down their cotton acreage throughout the state, and this is good. It means that the crop of this fall will not be as large as that of last and that as a result, better prices for cotton will obtain. Farmers can make money when cotton retails for 1O cents pound. The indications are that even higher price will be paid this fall

A Society Circus, like any other Circus is A grand three ringed affair under one tent. presenting all the latest stunts in athletics, dancing, Magic Art, and other attractions, which, while performed by amateurs, is so cleverly done that for the moment the audience forgets that the professional is not predominant and that such talented people live right among us and do these things every day.
 In the Society Circus this year, vet eran in the business will again appear in the person of pr. J. E. Dedman, who with MT. Hill Ferguson and MT. Harry Miles organized the first Society Circus thai was ever given in Birmingham, 1s years ago.
 Dr. Dedman took part in the first eight performances that were giyeL, and then for a while dropped out with his clever Magical Art" but this year he was so much in demand-people were so anxious for him to return to the scenes of lis earlier triumphs that he couldn't say .No, and on next Monday and Tuesday at the Jefferson hs. will present in all it's weird. oueer. uncanny effect Magical Act" in the Society Circus. which rivals the hest art of Kellar, Thurston. Zanzics, and other Magicians.
 pr. Dedman is considered extremely clever at this sort of thing, as he will be assisted in his Act by his son, MT. George Whitney Ridley. who is his pupil, and such a talented. clever one that he is without peer for one of his age in the craft of which he is' so fond

1 ing among the cleyerest that have ever | been seen here.
 This trio will be one of tho features of the Society Circus and will no doubt
 arouse much enthusiasm with it's very
 unique and inimitable art.
 1 Of course, when I was chatting with Dr. Dedman about his Magical Act' I
 didn't quite expect him to inform me 1 concerning the inmost workings and se- crets of the art-that would be telling
 but he very kindly gave me some
 pointers concerning the work which
 were not only instructive, but very en- l tertainng.
 Magic" said pr. Dedmand, "and by magic mean a combination of Science electricity. optics, physics. chemistry, dex- terity and hubbuggery, is of two kinds white magic, which is performed by mt ural means and Black Magic. which
 dates back to the early ages. In Egypt
 long before the Pyramids were known to
 history, Magic was a reputed art. The
 magicians of Egypt, according to Biblical lore, contended against Aaron at the Court of Pharoah. From the book of
 Exodus we read how the Hebrew prophet cast down his rod before Pharoah and before his servants. and 1t became ser pent. Then Pharoah also called the Wise men and the sorcerers, now the mdB1cldHS OI fSyPl, tiicy uiop hiN III ifN,' manner with their entertainments. For they cast down every man his rod ana they became serpents. but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. The late Rob ert Heller Prestidigitateur. traveller in the Orient and skeptic. relates of seeing this feat performed in Cairo many times by Dervishes. The rods were really ser pents. under strong hynotic influence,
 and these serpents remained rigid until de-hypnotized by strange and weird in- cantaton and mystic passes"
 And down through the ages this mys- tioism and necormancy has prevailed" I suggested, ''even to the making of 1t a | profession in modern times'
