O'NEAL SAYS LACY
ASMUCH MYSTERY
AS AT ANY TIME

The whereabouts of Theodore Lacy,
the absconding former chief clerk of
the convict department, are still un-
known and there are no new clues
which extend a hope of his early cap
ture.
Governor O'Neal who reached Bir-
mingham last night, stated, however,
that Burns detectives were still on the
job and that whereas the chance of
capturing the missing clerk is slim
the chance still exists.
The governor denied that there would
be another session of the board which
mas been conducting an investigation
INTO the convict department. He de-
ciared that the report printed in Mont
gomery dispatches that he and the ex-
aminers of public accounts would again
take the stand Monday was in error.
There is nothing more to be said
at the present time" stated the gov
ernof. we have examined every wit
ness believed to have been possessed
of any facts and unless others come
forth with information or unless we
hear of new rumors or reports or facts,
there is no need of another session of
the investigating board"
The governor stated that under the
new administration the convict DEPART
ment was making fine progress lie de-
ciined to discuss for publication his re-
cent action in asking for the resigna
ton of his private and recording sec
retarieS. The governor was also reti-
cent concerning the political situation
which Is rapidly forging to the front
as matter of prime interest

SCHOOL LAND ISSUE
Will Try to Find Purchaser
Who Is Willing to Pay
Adequate Price for
the Property

Because the state of Alabama needs
the money, Governor O'Neal and Henry
J. Willingham, superintendent of edu-
cation, have come to Birmingham to
dispose of certain school indemnity
lands located in jefferson county This
property of the state was offered for
sale at public outcry in Birmingham
last month, but the bids were consid-
cred so small that each was rejected.
The governor and Mr.. Willingham Will
be glad to see the man today who de-
sires to come into possession of certain
mineral lands at a comparatively cheap
price.
While the state treasury will well
come any influx of money that might
be forthcoming from any source. the
financial condition of the common
wealth is not so deplorable that the
guardians are rendered unusually anx-
ious. The governor stated last night
that at the present time there Is in
the treasury the sum of $4,000 He is
hopeful that the situation might be
tided over until the first of next month
at which time a large payment from
the convict department is expected.
The indemnity lands were acquired
by the state from the federal govern
ment in lieu of those sixteenth section
school lands which were found on in
vestigation to be unavailable The prop
erty is considered extremely valuable.
the chief drawback being the fact that
1t is scattered over such a wide area.
The jefferson county land Is described
minutely, and the value of each sec
tion is indicated through a statement
of DR.. Eugene A. Smith, state geol-
ogist
Governor O'Neal stated last night
that during his administration 1000
acres of indemnity lands, the property
of the state. had been discovered and
that this acreage was also on the mar
ket. This is scattered, however, as I.
the property In jefferson county. One
bid has been received and is now under
consideration. The Tennessee Coal.
Iron and Railroad company has offered
a sum of $25,000 for 1000 acres, the
company to have the right to pick out
the areas 1t might desire.

FARMERS AND THEIR PROFITS

A special commission appointed by
Governor Hanna to investigate rural
conditions and needs, in North Dakota
reports: 1--WE believe the farmers are
operating on a narrower margin of
profit, investment and labor consider
ed, than any other interest in the
country" That idea has been ad-
vanced before. 1t generally has been
prompted by the tendency of the farm
ers to overlook in their calculations
the interest on their investment and
the value of their own time. But there
is no occasion for ignoring some other
factors that help to swell the farmers
margin of profit. He should credit to
his farm operations the cost of living
for himself and the members Of his
family. A farmer may have an invest
ment, for example, Of $4,000 in his
place and might have $1,000 in the
bank at the end of the year, as a re-
suit of his efforts. After deducting
what his time vas worth he would
have left a very insignificant rate of
interest on his investment. But If he
credited his farm with the rent, or it's
equivalent, he would have had to pay
in town, and with the difference be-
tween what it cost him to live on the
farm and in the town, he would be sur
prised at his own good fortune. And,
if he is not convinced then, he might
interview a few townsmen who have
$4,000 invested in business enter
prises and see how many OF them
have $1,000 ahead at the end Of the
year, after paying living expenses
