D. Henry Riddle, a well known attor-
ney of Taliadega, last night author
lied The Age Herald to make this
morning a formal or official announce
ment of his candidacy for the office OF
attorney general.
Others in the race at the present time
are Col. Gardner Greene of Pell City
w. l.. Martin of Montgomery and
George Pegram of Faunsdale. Mr.. Rid :
die was a candidate in the last state
election.
Il will be candidate. and feel con-
fident that I will win he said. 'Ii
the event of my election--and l feel
certain that | will be elected--I will
be the attorney general of the state in
fact as we'll as name. l will insist OH
representing the state before the SUI
preme court and all other courts and
in special litigation. Alabama has gone
to great excesses in the matter of en-
ploying special attorneys and now and
heretofore the office of attorney gen.
eral is and has been simply an empty
honor.
Il will insist on my rights, and if
am not able to procure my rights, my
resignation will be in the hands of the
governor within so days after / have
assumed office. A halt should be called
on the matter of employing special
counsel for every little ache and pain

GETTING TOGETHER
ON GREAT HIGHWAY
Keller Talks of Plans for
Road Between Birming-
ham and Montgomery

w s. Keller, state highway engineer,
who originated the idea some months ago
CT connecting the links of county road
between Birmingham and Montgomery so
that a magnificent highway between the
two cities would be the result, is in Bir-
minsham preparing to leave for Detroit
on business mission
THE idea" stated he has created
great enthusiasm on the part of the peo-
pie living between Birmingham and Mont
Somery. Some months ago, accompanied
by a staff representative of The Age
Herald, | made the trip from Montgom-
cry to Birmingham, and mapped out a
route which is feasible and expedient.
AS The Age-Herald has said before in
the near future we will call a meeting
to be held in Clanton for the purpose of
taxing active steps in regard to capi-
talizing the prospects with which we are
confronted
Up TO the present time, Chiffon county
has shown a little backwardness in re-
gard to good roads, but this is due, un-
derstand, not to lack of interest, but to
the differences which have grown out of
politics. / feel certain that as a result
or the meeting in Clanton, everybody and
every political faction in all the counties
between the two cities will be united in
the common cause of good roads,

FAIL TO DISPOSE
OF THE OLD BOOKS
Willingham Says People Can Save
Much Money by Making Old
Books Help Buy New Ones

The people of Alabama, according to
Henry j. Willingham. superintendent
of education, are not taking advantage
of that provision of the state book law
under which an old book may be eX-
changed for a new book on basis OF
half the original price paid for the old
book.
Last Saturday" stated the superin-
tendcnt, "the state depository disposed
of 5000 worth of new books. Only $2Oo
worth of old books figured in the busi-
ness transaction of that day.
'It must not be generally understood
that an old book can be exchanged for
a new book at half the price of the
old. Should the old book be offered in
exchange for any other book that
mi ght be needed for tffis years course
a book. for instance, of higher grade,
half the price paid for the old book
Will be applied on the new.
This provision of the law should be
taken advantage of by the people. II
is typical of an action of wisdom. 1t
provides means for Il great saving for
the people,"

MAGNIFICENT CORN
CROP IN THE SOUTH
OF 1900 Million Bushels Not Less Than
100000 900 Will Be South
ern Crop

Atlanta, September 24.-(Special) THE
corn crop of the south this year is mag
nificent beyond compare. OF the 2300-mil-
lion bushels of corn, which it is believed
will be husked from the growth OF 1913 in
the United States. not less than 750,0oo,ooo
will be the southern crop. The latter will
constitute nearly $500, 100000 out of the
s., GOO, 0e0.0O0 total value of American corn
this year. These results are indicated by
the preliminary report in the Atlanta au-
thority, Orange Judd Southern Farming.
1t says the prospective big crop is due
to greatly increased acreage and higher
average yield per acre.
The season in the southeast was so
favorable to corn that the yield will av
erage % bushels per acre, or somewhat
more than in previous years. In the
southwest the yield of Il bushels per acre
Is slightly more than two years ago.
compared with 20 last year.
The total crop of the southeast is, there
fore, expected to be very close to eOO,o0o,-
coo bushels, or about 1O0,000,0Oo more than
last year or two years ago. The drouth
in the southwest was so serious as to
make this years crop OF 166o00,0G0 only
about the same size as two years ago.
compared TO 339.oOo0tO last year. The
south, as whole, will make fully 750,-
ooC,o00 of bushels this year. This is slight
ly in excess of last years bonanza total,
but over 009 more than two years
ago.
Alabama's crop of 3,400.0o0 acres of corn
is slightly more than last year, accord
ing to Southern EARNINGS preliminary
report. The yield now looks like an av-
erage of 10 bushels per acre, compared to
is two years ago, and II last year. The
total amount of corn produced in Ala
bama this season will be about 65,o00,000
bushels. which is II 100000 more than
two years ago. compared with 100000
last year But corn may be worth an
average of 80 cents a bushel this year.
compared to 70 and IS the past two years
In this case, Alabama corn will make
! crop worth S59000.0o0 compared with siS.-
0oo0O0 and $42,O000oo annually for two
previous years.

reference 10 citations which had been ia-
sued TO pensioners in their county, re-
questlng them to appear before the spe-

ally to see the officials conducting the m
vestigation.
Up to the present time the special mas
ter has issued citations to pensioners of
about II counties. The number cited to
appear before him has varied from % to
125, or more, and their alleged ineligibility
has been based on numerous grounds, de-
sertion being a common complaint. while
others are charged with non-service in
the army, with the ownership of. moi e
property than entities them to receive
pensions, and with various other things.
on the whole, the investigation will most
likely continue several months longer,
and it is expected that the pension rolls
will be greatly diminished as a result of
the work of the special master and exam
iner of public accounts.
