CONDITION OF TREASURY
WHEN CONFER RETIRED

After which Mr.. Seed entered upon a
discussion of the condition of the treas
ury when Mr.. Conner retired from office,
the alleged permission granted the Ala
bama Great Southern railroad to increase
its freight rates, and the cost to the
state of waging Comer's fight against
the railroads, and other matters dealt
with this morning, the particulars of
which are contained in the report of the
debate at Tuscaloosa. M H. Smith, .
stated Mr. Seed, rs as buttheaded as
Mr.. Conner. Had the latter used that tact
and diplomacy which a governor should
possess, we would now have better rates
than we have and would not have been
put to such enormous expense"
And again turning to Mr. Conner, Mr.
Seed said; "The time has come when
you viii have to carry proof of what
you say You cannot run up and down
the state, making reckless charges with
out written documents with which to sus-
tain them. have shown you up too con-
clusively. No more can you move about

ence for indulging in such strong lam
guage and expressed regret that 1t had
been necessary for me to call the COVER

Plants That Defend Themselves

Plants have to defend themselves from
their enemies in the same way as men,
They have to fight with each other Tor
room enough in the soil to live, and the
weaker plants often go under in the strug-
gle for existence, says Tit-Bits The bat
tie of plants, however, are mainly fought
against the animals and insects which are
always threatening TO destroy them.
Many plants have wonderful weapons
for their protection. The thorns of the
rose bush bramble, and gorse prevent
cows and horses from eating them, as
we'll as keeping off snails and slugs. The
cactus family of plants have formidable
armour of prickles and daggers. The
plant known as the Spanish bayonet Is
armed with taper-pointed spears that
have f1le-lke edges. Some plants, such
as the ragged robin. have sticky stems
covered with fine hairs to which insects
stick if they climb up to try and steal the
honey.
Many plants use poison as means OF
protection. The sun spurge has poison
Gus juice which kill sany insects which
approach it, whilst the poisonous proper
ties of the deadly nightshade are well
known. The bracken fern has such
bitter taste that cows and sheep feeding
near 1t will not touch 1t, and the leaves
of the. buttercup have bitter taste
which is much dislilxed by plant-eating an.
imals.
The common bladder wort an aquatic
plant, not only defends itself against in
sects and animals, but catches worms and
fish for its food. AS it floats underneath
the surface of the water its leafy branches
spread out in all directions. II leaves are
covered with little oval bladders filled
with air, and at one end of each bladder
is a cavity which leads into the mouth
below. Inside the bladder is a small trap
door which opens when pressure is put
| upon it, small worm or small fish
| can enter this door. but they can never
| come out.
| Perhaps the most original means of
self-defense Is that possessed by strange
plant called the rattlesnake iris,s which
| grows ON the prairies of America. When
ripe it's seeds give rafting noise very
similar to that made by rattlesnake.
This is greatly feared by animals, who
| will never go near the plant.

TELEGRAM is READ
FROM SAM KENNEDY

An interesting episode occurred on the
reception of telegram from Sam Ken
nedy secretary of the railroad commits
sion, the contents of which tended TO
prove that Seed was right in regard to
Conner having permitted the Alabama
Great Southern to increase its freight
rates. Mr. Conner was given permission
to make a statement, and he endeavored
to show that whereas the Alabama Great
Southern was given new classification,
its rates We're not increased. Mr.. Seed
contended that his own position was the
correct position and declared that Mr.
Conner knew that fact. Mr.. Conner re-
piled: Any man who says that-but poor
old Seed doesn't know anything about
rate legislation and we will let it CO."
Mr. Seed asked Mr. Conner TO show
wherein he had ever done anything for
the particular benefit of the farmer. II
know said he, that in appropriations
for schools and decreased railroad rates
the farmer shares; but what have you
done for the farmer exclusively"
In his rejoinder Mr.. Conner said: "What
have l done for the farmer? Everything
