LETTERS TO EDITOR
Bibb Asks for Justice

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Believing that the columns of your
 valued paper are ever open to a plea for
 right and justice, l desire to call atten-
 ton to the situation in the Ninth congress
 sional district to members of the state democratic executive committee to be se-
 ton. Five members of the committee are
 to be selected from this district Jeffer-
 son has six candidates, Bibb has one,
 Blount one and Perry one
 When the members of the state execu- tive committee were selected by a state
 convention, Jefferson county was given two members and each of the other three counties composing the Ninth district
 was given one member. Surely it should
 not be said that the convention plan was
 more just than the primary plan.
 l am sure that all six of the gentle
 men running from Jefferson county for committeeman are most excellent citi-
 Zons The fault is not in the quality of
 the men running from Jefferson but is
 in the number. 1 believe on reflection
 the patriotic citizens of Jefferson coun-
 ty will recognize the Justice and merit of the plea of the other counties of
 the Ninth district when they ask for
 representation on the state committee,
 In the approaching primary Jefferson county has a candidate for governor, a
 candidate for lieutenant governor, d candidate for state auditor candidate
 for the supreme court judge candi-
 date for commissioner of agriculture, a candidate for railroad commissioner, and three candidates for Congress. Bibb county has not a candidate for any state office nor for Congress.
 For 20 years the people of Bibb county have cheerfully supported the candidates put forth by Jefferson county Is it fair for the people of Bibb county to be denied voice in the councils of demo- cratic party? The only thing in the aIr preaching election asked for by the peo- pie of Bibb is one member of the state executive committee. l recognize the fact that Jefferson county has the power to elect all five of the committeeman a- lowed the Ninth district, but would it be fair or just for Jefferson to take them all? It would be taxation without rep resentation,' so far as the other counties are concerned.
 Eugene D. Reynolds Bibb countys can didate for committeeman, is one of the foremost citizens of Alabama, broad
 minded. capable and just l am sure Perry and Blount counties have put forth good men sor committeeman. I believe the voters of Jefferson county want to treat the smaller counties of the district with fairness and justice. Re- spectfuly, w. w. LAVENDER. Centreville March 31 1914

With the proper care as to planting, culture and water ing the summer planted vegetables will yield larger and better products than the spring sown. The fall of the year is when there is always a death of some thing green, and when the majority of gardens have been turned over to the weeds. This is what should not happen. Of course, we all say "it is too hot to work in the garden."' And it is if We attempt it in our downtown clothes.

DEEP SEA SKIPPER
 DISCOURSES SHARKS
Pilot Fishes, He Says, Are Food In. spectors for Them and Turn in Their Reports

That sharks would be "all at sea- , without pilot fish accompanying them on their cruises, and showing them about, is the opinion of deep water skipper E'urguson. who is now in port says a Portland. Ore. special to the New York World He says he never saw one of the man eaters without pilot guiding | it, and often there are five or six of | them leading the monster on it's course Before shark will seize a piece of fresh meat tossed from a ship it is 1 declared that one of these pilot fish
 will dart ahead and nose around the bait to see that everything is all right l returns to the shark and submits its | report. Frequently the pilot fish reaches a decision right off the bat and the bait and is hauled aboard ship and slain.
 Black stripes run down the backs of some of the pilot fish. while others bear no such marks. It has been in- ferred that the stripes are badges of distinction, probably denoting those that wear them passed most difficult exami- nations and obtained tne best licenses issued by sharks to the fish acting as
 
 been presumed. may indicate that the
 wearer holds only mates papers and these bearing no marks at all may be apprentices.
 According to the description the aver
 age pilot fish is not more than a foot long. It is as quick as the proverbial lightning and senses danger a long dis tance away. Being so well guided and protected is believed to account for the comparatively few accidents which, be- | fall the shark l Portland retired mariner says he saw many stranage innabitants of the sea when he was going about the world | in square rigger, but a sight which | fr. pressed him most vas the peculiar 1 form of a jellyfish It was about eight riches long and shaped precisely like a l horse, having a long flowing mane fetlocks and the various other appurte- nances.

Each carries large sail. re- sembling isinglass. which bellies out with the wind and causes the fish to cit through the water at a surprising speed. The Portuguese Men-of- War are numerous in the Indian ocean.

'5O,OOO MINERS OF | OHIO QUIT WORK Are Unable to Agree on
 Wage Question
CLOSED INDEFINITELY
Close Observers, However, Do Not Believe Situation Has Reached a Hopeless Crisis-Will Try to
 Protect Illinois Miners

Columbus. O., March 31.-On the eve oi q miners holiday-the anniversary of tho establishment of an eight-hour day in this state-nearly 5000 ohio miners to- right quit work for indefinite time Mines were closed in accordance with orders issued yesterday by coal oper- ators.
 How long the mines will remain closed was a matter of specula ton tonight but close observers of the situation believed the controversy Is not as near hope less crisis is generally believed Ii was learned here tonight that at least six operators in the state will continue operations until the miners have taken q referendum vote on the wage scale sent back to them by the Chicago con- ference.
 If the suspension of operations becomes seriously indefinite labor leaders asserted that the blame for it will fall on the operators and not on the miners. Hav- ing expressed their willingness, they de- olared, to continue work in the mines under the old scale until the result of their referendum has been determined, they are satisfied they have done their share toward averting the suspension.

 So much talk about the high price of living has caused people to think more seriously of their own resources, and this leads gradually to more varied home n- dustries.
