Alabama's Big Cotton Crop

The government report shows that
Alabama cotton ginned prior to No
vember Ia amounted to 1,1S2,747
bales. This is fine showing and it is
safe now to assume that the crop will
not only reach the September estimate
of the First Irrational Bank of Birming-
ham,, ,35O,OO0 bales-but will go a
little beyond it. Alabama has made
something like 1,400,0O0 bales, and
the high price which the farmers have
been getting for their cotton brings
more money into the state than the
high record crop of 1911 brought.
improvements made in the gin
have done much to facilitate the mar
keting of cotton. One gin can turn
out more than twice as many bales as
was the case a few years ago.
But speaking of the size of this

bridge was designed by the county
engineer. 1t is being constructed under
the supervision of the county man
ager of convicts. All the labor is be-
ing done by conyicts, and it is being
done well.
Even measured by dollars and cents
the bridge will probably cost less than
under the old system of contracting
this work out, and it is the opinion of
all who are familiar with this class
of construction that it is a better job.
The convicts are on the roads of
Jefferson county to stay despite the
carping criticism of a few doubling
folks who often have a pecuniary
motive behind their criticism. Humani-
ty, nay the public demand it.

Prosperity Abounds

II spent a few days in North Carolina

more prosperity talk than | heard in

Baltimore
II keep in close touch with Virginia, and
every section of that state is enjoying
high degree of prosperity. The tobacco
crop is large this year, and the prices are
good Those two facts make business
hum, North Carolina raises much cotton
as well as tobacco, and l think they
made a good cotton crop there this year
probably between 100000 and 100000 bales
In Georgia there is great buoyancy Of

or three merchants I met in the southern
part of the state said that this was one of
Georgia. very best years
Alabama has made a large cotton

"The cost of living in the south is high
er than it is in the north" said M. B..
Dannheisser, salesman of the Manuel
Gonzalez company of Pensacola. Il lived
for a number of years in Pittsburg and
found food, clothing, rents. lights. ETC.,
much lower than here in this part of the
county,
"The rent on business houses is. of
course, much higher in Pittsburg than
here One firm there to my personal
knowledge pays. 100000 a year for the
rent of the building it occupies. This
building, however, is 10 stories high and
covers large area.
"But getting back to the cost of living
to the ultimate consumer, my bills in
Pittsburg were always lower than they
are in the south. | would much rather
live in this city, though, because there
are but few disturbing factors in the
business of the community. Up in Penn

REAL LIFE MELoDRAMA

From the Netv York Telegram
Temperamental Mr.. Ferdinand Pinney
Earle is a jty forever to the headline
writer Wheh things in news way
began to shoJ signs of sagging or need
fresh flip, the temperamental one can
always be depended on to step into the
limelight fot a brief while.
And he is versatile. Just as an idea
takes root that his repertoire consists
solely of anpexing a new wife or affinity
aweing the honest yeomen of Monroe,
N Y, wheel they are muttering threats of
tar and feathers, he springs something
new.
Now he .is said to have kidnapped his
son from pear Paris and fled with him
across the channel.
The affair was carried out in good shape
and with all attention to, detail. The
abductor wore a red beard and heavy
black glabses. Made up almost like
Madame Vine in East Lynne"
Even thx direction he took permits the
use of thei fine old melodramatic phrase,
they say the child is in London!''
Nothing WAS overlooked. Couldn't have
been donei better unless it had been
staged as an Eliza-escaping-acro
affair."

Underwood's Splendid Ovation

AS was to be expected, Oscar w.
Underwood received splendid ova-
ton here in Birmingham last night.
Hobson attracted an overflow crowd
at the Jefferson theatre few nights
ago, but the capacity of that house
is comparatively small, and there was
a larger crowd outside than inside.
Mr.. Underwood spoke at the Gypsy
Smith auditorium. Fully 1000 people
can be accommodated under its wide
spreading roof. The auditorium was
filled, and the demonstration could not
have been more enthusiastic. 1t was
a great event indeed, and may be
taken as indicative of the immense
majority that Underwood will receive
in this county.
Alabama is one of the states rock
ribbed in democracy, and Underwood,
the distinguished democratic leader
easilv the most potential man in Con-
press-will receive an overwhelming
vote of Alabama democrats. Con-
qressman Hobson, Underwood's op-
moment for the United States Senate,
and some of Hobson's supporters have
been injecting prohibition into this
contest; but many of the most ardent
prohibitionists are ardent supporters
of Mr.. Underwood, feeling as they
do that the election of senator is a
party matter pure and simple. Ii
Captain Hobson were the better or
abler democrat of the two, he would
be and should be elected; but it hap
mems to be the other way. Under
wood is not only beloved personally
bv the masses hereabouts and es-
teemed from one end of the state to
the other, but he is a democrat tried
and true; a democratic statesman who
has done things for the benefit of the
neople and who will continue to do
things.
The effect of last nights ovation
will be felt throughout Alabama, and
will add to Underwood's already great
numerical strength.

Views of Some Savants

While many of the savants OF Great
Britain are agnostics in regard 10
religion some of the most notable OF
them believe in orthodox Christianity
insofar as acceptance of the Apostle S
creed is a symbol OF standard. 1t may
be that the majority of the more
nroninent members of the British AS
sociation for the Advancement OIL
Science are inclined to be free think
ers and are not numbered among the
communicates of any church, but
when one of the great scientific men
does come out on the orthodox slde
his presentation of ideas and ms
reasoning are usually masterful ana
convincing.
Sir Oliver Lodge delivered the most
striking address at the last annual
meeting of the British association,
expressing firmly his belief IN the
Immortality of the soul-the con-
tinuity of life beyond the grave.
But now comes a book entitled
"Social Environment and Moral Prog
ress," written by another great Eng
Eshman. DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace,
who died recently at the age OF ~,
in which this bold assertion appears,
"It is not too much to say that our
whole system of society is rotten
from top to bottom, and the social en-
vironment as a whole, in relation to
our possibilities and our claims, is
the worst the world has ever seen.
DR. Wallace was a coworker with
Darwin and shared with that eminent
scientist the discovery of 'the epoch
making theory of natural selection.
While the book referred to contains
much truth in comparing the ancient
Egyptians and present day civilization
and also in portraying the insanltary
and morally unwholesome environ
ment in large cities, DR.. Wallace, the
author, is inclined to be extremely
pessimistic, not to say cynical. What
he has written will have wide reading
among sociologists and in certain IN
tellectual circles, but the acceptance
of his statements in certain particu-
lars at least will not be general.
The world is better today than 1t
was in ancient times; better than 1t
was, according to conservative opin-
ion, few centuries ago. Christianity
certainly is more potential now than
it ever was. Many well equipped
writer's will reply to the theories and
conclusions which appear in Social
Environment and Moral Progress,
and the public will await the discus
sion with interest.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Interest in Underwood

4 spent a few days in Washington.
d. c., recently. and 1 found there, as in
other cities, great interest in the Ala
bama senatorial contest" said Rufus 2.
White of Philadelphia.
AS mater of course. one would ex-
pect man of Mr.. Urderwoods long SER
vice in Congress and his notable achieve
ments in this extra session to be great
fayorite in the national capital, but in
Philadelphia, New York and other cities
almost as much talk of Underwood may
be heard as in Washington.
Il believe it is safe to say that every
body in the District of Columbia is a
sincere admirer of the Alabama states
man. Since he has announced for the
United States Senate the Washingtonians
regardless of party desire to see him vic
torious It is generally felt that Mr.. I'm
derwood would be one of the greatest
acquisitions to the Senate that has been
recorded for many years. l am DEM
ocrat, but no politician. l would feel
terribly disappointed, however If Mr.. I'm
derwood should fail to be elected, but 1 am
told that he will defeat Captain Hobson
by an enormous majority"

illustrated Stories

The Age-Herald has printed some
very suggestive and meaning car
toons within the past few days.
These cartoons have told stories
which volumes of type could not have
told.
The Age-Herald is distinctively a
newspaper 1t has progress in its
veins. 1t lis of the upbuilding. If men
are in the way of upbuilding it is best
to gently suggest that they stand
aside. There is no use in club. A
pictorial representation often sug-
gests to the man making a mistake am
idea of how he can make right.
The pictures in these columns have
been suggestions of thought; and
sometimes a picture is much more to
the point than a paragraph of type.
The Garden of Eden story of Adam
and Eve and the apple and the ser
pent is best told in the old, familiar
picture. The imagination of the reader
SPELLS it out in his or her own mind.
SO in these pictures, or cartoons,
which have appeared in The Age
Herald during the past week there is
subject for thought.
There has been much trading and
trafficking surrounding governmental
affairs in the state of Alabama-too
much subterranean tunnelling instead
of construction on the surface and in
the broad sunlight.
The Age-Herald has never sup
ported B. B. Conner. 1t does not sup
port him now. 1t cannot agree with
many of his views and past acts. But
it must say for him that he has been
both open and courageous in his ex-
pressions and his acts. While he has
made enemies he has likewise made
admirers.

Results of the Land Congress

Although the annual meeting of the
Alabama Land congress was held here
only a little more than two weeks
ago good results may be seen. Or
ganization is taking place in several
counties, and it is believed that when
the next annual meeting occurs an
efficient organization for promoting
agriculture and other industries pc
culiar to Alabama will be in effect.
The papers read before the recent
land congress were educational and
stimulating The discussions brought
out a great deal of information of
practical value. There was an ex-
change of views that will without
doubt bear good fruit
Alabama has a soil and a climate
for producing profitably nearly every
crop grown in the United States. The
farmers in this section are growing
rich, but there is "a vast acreage of
productive land still untitled. Settlers
with little money and some farm
ing experience are what thee state
needs for its full development. Look
ing ahead few years, the possibili-
ties of this states material progress
cannot be overestimated.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-23
MUST SAY "WE,

From the Omaha WoYld-Herald.
One of the big western railroads.&c.
Union Pacific-has recently issued a very
interesting suggestion-one that could
profitably be issued by many other insti-
tutions-in effect that employees from
office boy up to the highest official, use
the expressions our 'we' and us"
when speaking of that particular railroad.
This is a step in the right direction,
and its good effect in interesting all
employees in the company affairs will
be far-reaching. When one pauses to
consider that it is the employees of a
corporation, or any business, who make
success possible, the plan adopted by the
railroad in question is better appre-
ciated.
The great financier, j. Pierpont Nor
gan, once said: 'I do not want anyone
in the employ of any company l am in
terested in who is not with that COM
pany in the fullest sense of the word.
and who will not look out for the COM
pany's interests without being asked to
do So"
John Wanamaker put it this way:
'Wnen see youi6 ihah ""'NiiiiS 'NS
clock near noon hour or evening quit
ting time I lose faith in him.
Both of these men of fiannce taught
their employees to speak of the business
as "ours." They did it to interest the
employees and cause them to take
proper concern in the affairs of their
employers.
The employe who is able to say 1--WE
will give your order prompt attention"
.our representative will call and take
the matter up with you; our company
is always quite willing to rectify any
errors; or I'VE appreciate your patron
age" is building better than he or she
knows

Conyicts Doing Good Work

That the use of the county con-
victs on the roads is proving sue
cess is evidenced by the smoothness
with which the system is now being
operated and by the amount and quail
ity of work they have already accom-
plished.
Since the system was inaugurated
last April many miles of new roads
have been built and many more miles
repaired. 1t is too soon to arrive at
the, cost of the new method, as the
expenditure for equipment has been
large, but it is reasonable to say that
more work and better work at less
actual cost apart from the equipment
is being done by the convicts than
was done by per diem free labor.
From the humanitarion view point,
not even the most persistent "knock-
er" of the system will deny that to
crimes and misdemeanors was re-
proach to the state and our boasted
civilization, and that the convict;
themselves are benefited, for they are
worked in the open air, are we'll fec
and so far as is known are treated as
kindly as is consistent with the dis
cipline necessary in all convict camps
AS an evidence of the character Of
work they are doing is the reinforced

Good Results of Emulation

81 learn that the cotton states are
turning their attention to diversified
crops" said Jacob Warner of st. Louis.
when Alabama produces all the hay
and corn that Is fed to Its stock 1t
will grow rich at very rapid rate.
Il could never understand why cot
ton farmers were ever indifferent to
the production of corn and hay. L am
not engaged in farming and only know
from observation, but l believe from
what I have heard that Alabama can
be made to yield as good alfalfa and
as much corn per acre as many of the
called hay and corn states.
Emulation is great thing and now
that boys corn clubs and boys hog
clubs, all intended to develop a whole
some emulation, substantial results will
follow"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-11-23

years crop, the fear prevalent last
spring that, owing to the excessive
rains, practically no cotton would be
raised in Alabama, will be recalled
with a smile. 1t will turn out to be
next to the banner crop in the num-
Der of bales and a record breaker in
money value. Such cotton conditions
as are seen today make for solid pros
perity in the rural sections. The farm
ers and the country merchants and the
small banks are better off this fall
than they have ever been.
