Bay Minette, October Especial 1.-The
announcement has been made by the fair
officers that during the fair of this fall
a novel feature would be had in the in
stallation of plowing match for the pur-
pose of ascertaining who are the best at
handling teams and plows in this county.
The plans for the match as they stand
at present are to have it occur between
the hours of and 10 on the morning of
one of the days and to have both double
and single plow work.
The match is open to all the farmers of
the entire county and they are receiving

A Birmingham man who declares that
he is an anti-suffragist, admitted the
other day that he is perfectly willing that
the ballot be given to all the women who
want 1.-THE does not believe many want
1t. Col T. W. Higginson, writing on the
subject many years ago. said that 'it is
constantly said that the majority of
women do not yet desire to vote. and it
is true. But to end out whether they
are likely to wish for it, we must keep
our eyes on the women who lead their
sex. The representative women, those
most eminent for knowledge and self-de-
votion-how do they view the thing? The
rank and file do not yet demand the bal
lot, you say; but how is 1t with the gem
eral officers? Now, it is a remarkable
fact, about which those who have
watched this movement for 20 years can
hardly be mistaken, that almost any
woman who reaches a certain point of in
telectual or moral development will pres
emily be found desiring the ballot for her
sex. If this be so, it predicts the future.
1t is the judgment OF Grant and Sherman
and Sheridan as against that of the aver
age private soldier of the Two Hundredth
infantry. These women came to the claim
for the ballot earlier than a million
others, because they were the intellectual
leaders of American womanhood. Their
Judgment is as the judgment of the coun-
Gil officers; while Flora McFlimsy's opin-
ion is as the opinion of John Smith, un-
assigned recruit. But, if the generals
make arrangements for a BATTLE. the
chances are that John Smith will have to
take hand in it, or else run away

actment of the tariff bill results in some
Irregularities, yet in a broad sense the
situation reflects continued improvement
now Most reports indicate the volume Of
trade is gradually enlarging, the necessi-
ty of replenishing depleted merchapdise
stocks causing increased activity.
The paucity of supplies is SO marked in
certain lines that difficulty is expected in
filling immediate needs with shortage of
labor hampering some manufacturers.
This is particularly true of the cotton
goods mills which have orders in hand
for the next three months.
The demand In both jobbing and retail
circles continues brisk at the highest
prices of the year for many products, al
though business has been restricted to
some extent by the unsettled condition of
raw material markets.
The failures this week number 2S1 in the
United States, against 3O2 last year. and
81 in Canada, compared with 80 one year
before.
