LETTERS TO EDITOR
Suggestions For the Farmer

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
The Alabama Land congress is desirous
of having the year 1914 the most pros
porous for the agricultural interests Of
the state that Alabama has ever known
1t is believed that this can be done with
the cooperation of the press and busi-
ness men of Alabama. The increase of
the food and forage crops is vital and
now is the time to arrange for this, and
it is also very important that with the
inevitable coming of the boil weevil the
farmers of Alabama give more and NOR,
serious thought to the changing condi-
tions necessary under his domination. In
finitely better conditions can be brought
about than now exist in Alabama IL our
people will prepare soon enough for the
necessary curtaiment of the cotton crop.
soon enough to avert the panic, such
as has been wrought in Louisiana and
Mississippi, and in the extreme western
counties of our state.
The drawing In policy. that is, the poll
icy of Withholding from landlords loans
by the banks, and a like policy by the
landlord towards the tenant Is a most
destructive and short-sghted policy. Ir-
stead let the banks and landlords preach
without ceasng the policy of more nd
vanced methods, which, instead of re-
ducing the revenues from the farm. win
very materially increase them. The bank
ers and landlords should at once interest
themselves In seeing as far as possible
that every idle piece of land is wlred
and instead of permitting cattle BUYERS
to get the young and thin cattle at half
prices, that the farmers be advised to
keep them on tho farm until they arc
mature and fat. and then sell them at
the highest market price, keeping the
cows and heifers for breeding purposes
Emphasis should be put upon the neces-
sity of building dipping vats. which are
necessary in successful cattle raising.
The farmer should also be advised 10
buy a few large mares and breed them
to good jacks. The western man works
big mares in the cultivation of his crops.
and at the same time raises from then,
mules to sell to the short-sighted planter
of the south. Why cannot the farmer or
Alabama make the big mares do double
service for him?

Suwanee River
AS Sung by Christine Nilsson

The first popularity of "Suwanee
River" dates back to the time when
Christine Nilsson. the fair haired daugh-
ter OF farmer near Wexio, Sweden. sur
lrised all who heard nec with the Sweet
ness and compass of her voice as she sang
FOSTERS plaintive melody. She was az,
accomplished player on the flute and
violin and made her debut at the early
age OF II at Stockholm. Like many Of
the famous prima donnas, the opera
chosen for her appearance was La IRA
viata." She made concert tour of the
United States and sang many years in
Italian opera. At her farewell concert
given in London her voice was exquisite
IN its purity and sweetness and evenness
of tone. having a compass of three oc-
taves, an exceptional range In Amer
lea she will. be known and long remem-
bered for her singing of "Suwanee River"
in the height of her success and operate
triumphs. She was the Acknowledged in
comparable artist of her times. This
beautiful song and many others sung
by Nilsson, are to be round in Heart

EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
1SH-19O1
No. 95-Party Unity Restored
Thomas G. Jones, Governor
1S74-19O1

The first stated public meeting to pro-
mote the election of the Jones ticket of
1880 was called at Eufaula, the home of
Commissioner Kolb. The commissioner
appeared TO speak to it in redemption of
his pledge made to the nominating con-
vention.
The speech was made under peculiar
circumstances, and many incidents in the
recent past were we'll calculated to irri-
tate the orator. While the Barbour coun-
ty delegation was instructed for him in
the late state convention, Eufaula beat
had resisted. While he claimed the ma
jority of delegates to the convention,
he had lost the nomination to which his
county had pledged him.
The commissioners speech reviewed the
action of the convention and very vigor-
ously denounced the proceedings by which
he was defeated. The speech was heard
by Farmers Alliance men. and read by
many more of the order. with acute SYM
pathy. The thought that ran through
it was the unwilling acquiescence of to-
day will develop into the renewed en-
ergies of endeavor for tomorrow.
All NiO Hedlu OF Tedu hOln ltu1duld
speech ostensibly in ratification of the
nomination of Jones and who were fs-
miliar with the indomtabe will of the
man and his resourcefulness in emerg-
ency, accepted his utterance on that day
as notice that with the next occurring
general election he would seek redress
The legislature chosen contemporaneous-
lV with C,oUPrnpr han ,,f
high capacity. Many proved to be pos
sessed of experience. Legislation of a
critical character had grown upon the
state.
Andrew c. Hargrove of Tuscaloosa was
made president of the senate and w. L.
Clay of Huntsville continued as secretary.
John w. Inzer of st. Clair, Ex-Congress-
man w. A. Handley of Roanoke, John 4.
Miner, the great engineer and developer
Of Jefferson, l.. w. Grant of Calhoun, NJ
l.. Stansell of Pickens, the late junior law
partner of the governor; A. A. Wiley
from Montgomery held seats in that
branch.
The Kolb element in the late party con-
vention seemed dominant in the lower
house. Newton l.. Clements of Tusca-
1oosa, Ko1b leader, was made speaker
and Benjamin f. Elmore of Montgomery
clerk. On the floor was Rev. s. NJ Adams
of Bibb, long president of the State Al
lance; Henry d. Clayton, Jr., Kolb floor
leader in the recent party convention;
Hector ID. Lone from the Valley of the
Tennessee: Willis Brewer from Lowndes
'the watch dog of the treasury" D. J.
Meador from Marengo, B. II. Screws from
Montgomery, w. S. Farmer from st

a hopeful message. Sixteen short years
