parts Of the country, and one of them,

Under what seemed at the moment
to have been a fair election, the fret
which, 80 some of the Mexican people
said, had taken place In their country
in q quarter of q century, Madero was
elected, and he was in power only a
few months before Zapata, Orozco
and other popular leaders rose against
him. With varying fortunes the re.
bellious by those chieftains have been
under way ever since, but they are
dwarfed by q rising In the city of
Mexico under Gen. Felix Diaz. nephew
OF the former president, which, for
the moment, has ingulfed all the other
risings.
In all of these sporadic rebellions
the principal purpose has been simply
to change one leader for another.
That is to cay, the people engaged In
them have been inspired not by any
truly patriotic motive but by personal
devotion to an ambitious commander
seeking political power.

DIES IN ADMISSION
Capitalist Passes Away On
Tuesday Following Ill
ness of Heart Trouble

Admission, July S.-tSpecial. Funeral
services over the remains of Col. John G.
Farley. who died at his home early Tues
day morning following a short Illness. du
to heart trouble and general collapse
incident to old age, will be held Wednes-
day morning at 10 o'clock at the resi-
denee, followed by interment at Hillside
cemetery, the Rev. s. L. Hodges of the
| First Presbyterian church and members
of the Masonic lodge officiating.
Colonel Farley was member of the
First Presbyterian church here and a
past grand master of the Masonic fra
ternity. He owned the Farley building in
Birmingham the Capital City Clothing
store building in oMntgomery. and prop
erty here in the Kaplan block, on Will
mer and Quintard avenues. He was one
of Alabama's wealthiest men and was
essentially self-made. He retired from
business before he4was 80 years of age,
and the Farley building in Birmingham.
representing several hundred thousand
dollars, was planned and financed after
Colonel Farley was 10 years of age. He
was great believer in Birmingham real
ty and had most of his money invested
there and in Montgomery.
Born at Hayneville January %, 1885,
Colonel Farley received only an elemen-
tary education, and was young man at
the outbreak of the civil war, he having
removed to Benton at the age of 16. He
enlisted in the Forty-fourth Alabama regi-
ment. fought in several battles in Ten
nessee and Virginia, was later transferred
to a clerical position in the quartermas-
ter's department and was standing near
Lee when he surrendered at Appomattox
Riding home on box car after the war,
he fell off while passing through South
Carolina and sustained an injury in one
of his ankles which had caused him con-
siderable trouble in recent years. In 1884,
he moved to Verbena, and lived there un-
Ill 1897 when he came to Admission to
educate his children.
After the war, Colonel Farley organized
a mercantile business, but the greater
part of his wealth was made in real
estate ventures. He rendered valuable
service to his section of the state after
the war He was of a quiet disposition,
frugal and temperate in his habits, living
without estentation. One of his last acts
was to give an X-ray that cost about
$1,000, one of the finest in the south, TO
St Lukes hospital here.
The deceased is survived by two daugh-
ters Mrs. A. j. Goodwin of Admission,
and Mrs Harry Bellenger OF Gadsden,
and one son. John G. Farley, Jr, all the
children of his first wife. His widow also
survives and he has half sister, Miss
Fannie Waldron of Bragg.

out any charges IN the form Of commits
sions, bonuses or like considerations oy
means of which Intermediates make
money.
Notwithstanding the magnitude of this
issue and the necessity for planning en-
tirely new machinery or methods, the plan
worked out perfectly and the entire issue
of $2O0OO0,O00 went directly from the treas
ury department to purchasers without any
cost to the government excepting station
cry. postage and the salaries of the extra
force of clerks-itcms that were inconsid-
cradle in comparison with the magnitude
of the loans.
Municipalities, counties, states even
should be able, If the proposition is taken
in time so that adequate machinery can
be perfected to pass their securities in
small blocks or considerable part of their
securities directly to an investing pubic
and especially to a public whose possess
sions consist of small saving. ~
But in the case of great corporation
Industrial or railroad. or of a great pub
lie work which entails large contracts it
is vital that there be absolute assurance
that money will oe obtained when called
for no matter what the condition of the
money market may be.
This is the consideration which led one
of the corporations which has the con-
tract for building new subways to secure
it from J. p Morgan & Co. the underwrt-
ing of some $15,000,100 of bonds.
The company has no further concern re-
specting it's finances, That is risk which
the Morgan syndicate has assumed. No
matter what the condition of the money
market may be, The syndicate has pledged
itself to furnish funds whenever called for
receiving therefor the like amount of
bonds until at last the entire amount has
been paid over to the corporation.
