Significant Investments

PiSiuiiSdht iHNVSthCutS
 Leslie M. Shaw's investment of $50,- 900 in Alabama black belt lands is of far reaching significance. MT. Shaw
 is known far and wide as a man of af- fairs and as man of wealth. He was
 one of Iowa's ablest governors, and as
 Secretary of the Treasury under Pres ident Roosevelt he made an enviable
 reputation. But MT. Shaw in addition
 to being a successful business man is
 an emnently successful farmer.
 He owns and operates" large farms in Iowa, but after spending week or ten days in Alabama he came to the conclusion that this state offered ex- ceptiona opportunities from an agri- cultural point of view. He was par ticularly interested in alfalfa and bur clover. His investment of 0,000 was made in Lowndes county. MT. Shaw expressed himself with enthusiasm
 
 while in the black belt, and among other things said:
 q thoroughly believe that the cheap- est lands from a standpoint of actual worth in the United States are in Ala bama. I am convinced that the lands are more fertile than in my home state of Iowa, while winters are shorter and less severe. Bur clover will grow every week and every month from November to May. A few days of frozen ground may check its growth, but does not kill it, and the ground does not remain frozen over few hours. One of the best dairy farms I have ever seen was in Lowndes county, Alabama. do not think I have ever seen a better peach orchard than the one in Bullock county The present crop Is estimated at 50 carloads. The same man has large pecan orchard. While all of these products are easily grown, the fact re- mains that Alabama is as yet unde- veloped. I have been told of a single pecan tree producing over $100 worth 1 of nuts in year, and yet not one far mer in 100 has even one pecan tree | There are very few peach orchards and ] very few dairies. Not one farmer in 100 | has a foot of alfalfa or a stalk of bur | clover. Alabama is certainly big in op- portunities."
 Great progress in agriculture in Alabama has been made in the past few years, but as Mir. Shaw points out, the farm industry is as yet compar- atively undeveloped.
 A year or more ago James B. flag gin, the millionaire stock grower of Kentucky, bought several thousand acres of alfalfa land in Greene county for the purpose of raising food prod ucts for his famous dairy at Lexing- ton. He has expended great deal of money in developing his farm-drain- ing the land and building good roads. The fact that such a successful man as Mr. Haggin turned to Alabama for his alfalfa awakened renewed interest in the a~ricultr~"' ~'A-- ton in this state. and now the fact that Mir. Shaw is rep resented here bv his capital will turn the tide of homeseekers more than ever this way. It is understood that
 Mir. Shaw in making his investment in Lowndes paid at the rate of $35 an acre. This is a large advance over the level of prices in the black belt two or three years ago. At this rate it will not be long before black belt lands that were offered for $10 or S15 an acre ten years ago will reach $50 an acre level.

A Rampant Suffrarette

Lillian Lenton, known as May Dennis and Miss Red, a notorious member of the larson squad" of militant suffra- gettes, was sentenced at Leeds to one years Imprisonment for setting fire to Westfield House, Doncaster, last June. There was a stormy scene in court when sentence was pronounced, suffragette sympathizers pelting the judge with suffragette literature and shouting at the top of their voices. Policemen who tried to maintain order were roughly handled and there was a sharp struggle before the ring leaders were elected.
 A glance at the record of this wom- an shows that she has been consider ably worse in her behavior than the average male anarchist ever dares to be, since the average male anarchist does not throw bombs, however much he may threaten to do so. Lillian Len ton was arrested after the fire at Don- caster, but got her freedom by going on hunger strike. The next heard of her was when she confessed to set ting fire to Kew Gardens, an act of vandalism that should have been severely punished. She was put in jail but again got out under the provisions of the much abused "cat and mousse act. Later on two women, one known as Miss Red and the other as Miss Black, were arrested for burning AL

Good Political Observers

'1 had thought that the contest be-
 twetS Confer and Henderson would be
 very close." said a citizen who takes
 much interest in politics, who does not
 pretend to know much about how cleo.
 tions are going to turn out. But l have
 faith in the Judgment of certain men who have had wide political experience;
 men who know the whole state. Four or five days ago I happened. to meet MT. Lee Long. and asked him who. in his opinion. would be elected. Henderson,
 sure, he said. By what majority? ] asked. By about 10000 was his quick reply. When I asked him if he really meant it. he gave me a very positive an
 swer in the affirmative. Up to that time had thought that MT. Conner would pull through by majority of something like
 2O0. But Mir Long was in position to
 know the situation and forecast the result
 On the strength of what he told me. l went out and offered to make few bets "On the morning of the election I met Senator Hugh Morrow and asked him how 1t looked He said that Henderson would be elected by decisive majority And then there was MT. Marcus Well,
 who was forecasting for Henderson. Dur ing the afternoon of Monday several of my friends told me that MT. Conner would certainly be elected. but paid no atten- tion to their claims, because 1t was only the wish father to the thought. If MT. weil who has made study of politics state and national and MT. Lee Long and Senator Hugh Morrow, who know Ala bama from every angle point. could not give me a correct idea of how things were going. then nobody else could. One of the greatest surprises to me Monday night was the report from Etowah coun- | ty. A week ago I would have wagered almost anything that Etowah would be in the Conner column.
