Montgomery, November &.-tspeciaL)
For the purpose of raising funds with
which to meet the heavy school appropria-
tions in December, the governor of Ala
bama has written letter to the various
tax collectors in the state urging them to
make an effort to collect as much money
as possible by the first of the month and
remit to the state auditor II is under
stood that the banks of the state viii lie
the main source from which taxes VIII be
collected. a number of financial institu-
tions having already agreed to make pay
ment in advance of the usual time. All
taxes are due October l and become de-
lnquent after January 1. aud as a result
of the three months time allotted by law
in which to make payment of taxes, col
lections are not usually made before the
first of the year.
The state will need more than 100000 in
December to meet the school appropria-

TUSCALOOSA WILL
HAVE ANOTHER PAPER
The Tuscaloosa Journal Begins Pub
licatiOn December in Interest
of HObson and Seed

Tuscaloosa. November 25.--(Speeial)
The Tuscaloosa Journal is the name of a
new newspaper to begin publication here
on December ., for the announced pur-
pose of boosting the candidacy of Hobson
for the Senate and Seed for governor In
addition, it is announced that the paper,
which is to be issued weekly, will stand
for statewide and nationwide prohibit
tion, in addition to advocating an indus-
trial high school and several other
changes in the present educational sys-
tenn
The editor and owner of the paper Is
j. c. Foster In his opening statement
given out here Sunday, Foster serves no
tice on everyone that neither HobSon nor
Seed is in any way responsible for the
launching of the paper. and he announces
that any one making such a charge will
be called on for proof of the allegations.
Foster is well known in Tuscaloosa. He
came here from Camp Hill and engaged
in the practice of law for several years
Several years ago he made a race for
county superintendent OF education with
an industrial high school as the principal
plank in his platform. He is now the
only announced candidate for the legsla-
ture from Tuscaloosa county and is also
considered candidate for county SUPER
intendent of education at the next cleo
ton.
The announcement of the policies of the
paper has created considerable interest
here The Tuscaloosa News. daily, and
the West Alabama Breeze. weekly, are
advocating the election of Oscar w. Un-
derwood to the Senate, in opposition to
the candidacy of Richmond p. Hobson.
Both of these papers are strongly in favor
of prohibition, and both took active parts
in the campaign last year which resulted
in such a victory for prohibition in Tus,
caloosa county. The Times Gazette OF
which paper Foster is at present business
manager, has taken no part in the sena>
torial or prohibition campaigns.

tablished upon a large scale there, the
chief products were agricultural, an6
these were sufficient for the most part
for the needs of the inhabitants. In 1909
the value of the agricultural products
CT the state as determlned by the census
was about s37.000,000, whereas the money
value of the manufactured products was
about go, 100000 This enormous discrep
ancy is illustrated by other census figures
which show that the farmers of that
state are in numbers rapidly diminishing
and tho Isands of anles Of tillaDle soil are
now neglected. Little Denmark, larger 1t
is true in area than Connecticut but only
by 10000 square miles, produces practically
enough from her soil to feed her popula-
tion.s Whereas Connecticut's production
of cereals and farinaceous commodities is
only 31a per cent. round numbers. the pro-
duction in Denmark like commodities is
nearly 80 per cent. Connecticut produces
annually four gallons of milk per apita,
whereas Denmark produces 1856 gallons
per capita. No wonder little Denmark
can export butter and cheese and is not
compelled to import any. In 1860 land de-
voted to farms in Connecticut was 81 per
cent, in 1910 it was only II per cent. Lands
devoted to agriculture in Denmark in
creased in the same time from 64 to IA
per cent. The average size of Denmark
farms is only q acres, whereas the aver
bRe size OIL OOnneCt1cut 1dT1flS Is dDprONl-
mately so acres.
Connecticut consumes OF food products
about sS0,000OO0 worth year. while she
produces less than s20.0O0,00 worth The
people of that state are compelled, there
fore, to pay $50, 100000 year more for food
than the total value Of her food products
Mr. Elliott put the statement in even
more concrete and appreciablea form when
he said that every 10 years there is
enough land in Connecticut going back to
the wild condition to support if properly
farmed, the people of any one, of the
three cities of the state, which have a
population in excess of 100000. Further
more. since 1850 enough land in Connecti-
cut has gone back to the uncultivated
condition to support. if properly cuti-
waited, the present population of the state
Only an Example
OF course President Elliott uses the
state of Connecticut only as a convenient
example. What is true of that state is
true of every other state of this union
American lands are not producing what
they might easily produce were they prop
erly cultivated. and 1t is the falling off
In supply which in a great measure ex-
plains the increased cost of food products
All of the railroad presidents. and es-
pecially Mr.. Elliott. are convinced that a
greatly increased supply with consequent
low prices does not mean that the culti-
walton of the soil would be Improbable.
With wise business methods. with the
thorough adoption of the principle of CO.
operation, the cost of producing these
food commodities would be greatly re-
duced, so that there would remain a
handsome margin of profit even though
the market price of these commodities
were also greatly reduced.

large congregation was present yesterday
afternoon at the ceremonies of laying the
corner stone of the Auburn Methodist
Sunday school building, conducted by
Bishop f. r. Hendrix of Kansas City.
Bishop Hendrix has for many years been

suitable Sunday school building for the
Methodist students at Auburn, and his ef-
forts in enisting the support of the
Methodist church board for the Auburn
project have endeared him to all the

of Opelika, DR.. j. NJ. Dannelly of Mont
gomery, the Rev. j. c. James and the

The building, cornerstone of which was
laid Monday afternoon, is separate
three-story building adjoining the Meth
odist church. and is to be used as
Sunday school building exclusively for
school purposes. The necessity for the
erection of this building has been caused
by increas ed attendance at the Sunday
school of college students.

AN EMiGRANT SOCIAL

A hostess recently sent out invi-
tations for an emigrant social, re-
questing the guests to come attired
as emigrants, and also that each
bring a few worldly possessions tied
up in a colored handkerchief.
When the "emigrants" had arriv-
ed at the home Of the hostess, it
was announced that no one would be
admitted to America" who lacked
means, and therefore the emigrants
would be permitted to endeavor to
better their fortunes by trading
bundles with each other, it being
forbidden, however, to open the
bundles. When fifteen minutes had
passed in lively swapping" and "in-
spector" then took charge OF the
emigrants and opening the bundles,
one by one, decided who should re-
main, and who should be sent to the
detention room"
The fortunate ones who were per-
mitted to remain were then put
through mock examination as to
their knowledge OF America, it's his
tory and politics, and finally required
to sing the national anthem.
Those in the detention room"
were then told that they would be
permitted to remain in America il
any OF their friends would redeem
them by a forfeit.
After all had been redeemed, re-
freshments consisting OF coffee. sand
wiches, cruellers and pie were serv-
ed from a long counter.-The Ladies'
