'OvER $4,000 BALES
RECEIVED IN SELMA
High Prices Obtained Cause
Farmer to Market Crop
Faster Than Usual

Selma, October 31.-(Special. )-During
the first two months of the present COM
mercial year there has been received in
Selma more than $1,000 bales of cotton or
an avera e of nearly 1000 bales each day
of the year.
The high price which the staple has
recently been bringing has caused the
farmers to market their cotton faster
than usual and it is expected by Christ
mas there will have been received in
Selma 100000 bales of the seasons crop.
With the advanced price which the sta
pie has been bringing the farmers of
central Alabama are In better financial
condition than ever before even though
the cotton crop in this part of the state
will be short about 100000 bales.

Owing to the fact that the state has
no funds with which to provide for A.

planned this to Mr. Hoge, and expressed
deep regret that he was not empowered

MOU[THROP WILL
NOT RUN NEXT YEAR
Senator From Barbour De-
clares Other Interests
Will Prevent

Eufaula, October 31.-(Special )-Col.
Robert Moulthrop, senator from Barbour
county, will not be a candidate for re-
election before the democratic primaries
next year. He states that his other in
! terests prevent him from making q cam
paign and serving in the legislature for
another term. 1t is said, however that
a number of his local friends and sup
porters will lead movement to get
Colonel Moulthrop back into the race, in
which no candidate is registered as yet
1t is said that G. Ernest Jones of Clio
at the other end of the county, and for
mer editor of the Clio Free Press, will
make the race.
Colonel Moulthrops work in the last
legislature was featured by his bill for
the adjustment of the convict lease sys-
tenn in Alabama, which was passed by
the senate by large majority, but failed
to reach the House during the hurry and
furry of the closing days of the last ses-
sion. He is now chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Alabama Convict
Improvement association, which has for
It's purpose the adjustment of the lease
s. .em, and states that an even better
bill than he presented will be introduced
at the next session of the legislature.
Following four years of work on this
question, Colonel Moulthrop Is probably
the best posted man in the state, and
both his official position and his connec-
ton with the Convict Improvement as
ISOLATION make the interest in the move
ment for the adjustment of the lease sys-
tenn center around him. Through his eff
forts the state is now being thoroughly
organized in order that sentiment will be
so we'll crystalized on the question that
the bill to be introduced will be success

of the features of the income tax law. So
far as is known no attempt will be made.
at present at least, to test the constitu-
tionality of any of the clauses. The jul
dicial proceedings are to be based at
present on the desire to obtain authorita-
tive and final opinion respecting the adj
ministrative features of the law. These
judicial Proceedings will not represent,
however, any opposition to the law it
self. They will represent the confusion
and doubt of many of those who are TO
pay the taxes levied by this law about
what is essential to be done in order to
meet the requirements of the statute.
There is a strong impression on the part
of counsel that the recent ruling made
by the treasury department respecting one
feature of the income tax law, namely,
the payment of taxes at the source of tile
income are in excess of the requirements
of the statute itself. In other words,
counsel suspect that the rulings of the
treasury depart ment recently published
require more to be done than the statute
itself.

HANDICAPPED
This Is he Case With MANI Jasper People.

Too many Jasper citizens are
handicapped with bad backs.
The unceasing pain causes con-
slant misery, making work a
burden and STOPPING Drifting an
impossibility. The back aches
at night, preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff
and lame. Plasters and liniments
may give relief but cannot reach
the cause if the kidneys are
weak. To eliminate the pains
and aches of kidney .backache
you must cure the kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for
disordered kidneys.
The following statement should
convince every Jasper reader of
their efficiency.

SHOW IS A SUCCESS
1913 MODELS OF AUTOMOBILES
GET GREETING AT COLISEUM.
Indiana Auto Enthusiasts See Sights
of Displays at State Fair Grounds.

The State Fair grounds this week,
especially the Colissum&and the An
mex, are the center of all eyes, be-
cause of the staging of the automobile
show by the Indianapolis Trade Asso-
citation.
= The show opened Monday and will
close Saturday night. The Indianap-
oils show is the last of the national
circuit of shows
The show is being held in the Coli
scum and the Annex and there are
automobiles. accessories and trucks
approaching 100000 in value. The
cars run in value from the smaller,
cheaper ones to those extravagant big
cars of $4,000 and over.
So far as beauty is concerned the
Indianapolis show approached the
larger exhibits. The Indie -apolis
Auto Trade Association did thear work
with care and the show places have
been palaces of beauty with the rich
lights and the rich decorations.
The keynote OF the show is undoubt-
edly self-starting. Where a year ago
the self-starter was the unusual. prac-
tically all of the automobiles this year
include this device with the equip
ment. At nearly every exhibition
space can be seen cars which as par
ticular features boast cranking de-
vices operated by electric power.
Great changes in construction are
seen on every hand and the little old
last years car" seems small and mean
In comparison. The mechanical
changes for the most part, however.
are of a minor nature Few radical
departures from the accepted types
of motors are in evidence The manu-
facturers are convinced that the DOW
er plants of the present day are the
best that can be evolved.
In the effort toward comfort and
beauty in the construction Of bodies
the manufacturers have heightened
their springs and wheel bases. used
deeper upholstery, provided more leg
room in both tonneau and front seats
and equipped their cars with larger
tires. Several companies are putting
out cars with seats tilted back.

Should Keep Name In
Paper.

No business man in any to va
should allow a newspaper pub-
lished in his town to go without
his name mentioned somewhere
in its columns. This applies 10
all kinds of business general
store. dry goods stores, grocers,
furniture dealers, professional
men, and in fact all classes IF
business men. This does not
mean that you should have
whole or a half or even quarter
page ad, in every issue of the
paper but your name and bust
ness should be mentioned if you
do not use more than two line
space A stranger picking up a
newspaper should be able to tell
just what business is represented
in a town by looking at the bust.
ness mentioned in the paper.
This is the best possible town ad-
vertising. The man who does
not advertise his business does
an injustice to himself and his
town. He is the man who ex-
poets the paper to do most of the
boosting for his town. The man
who insists on sharing the busi-
ness that comes to a town but
refuses to advertise his business
is not doing his share of the
boosting. The life of any town
depends upon the live, wide
awake and liberal business men
in it.
