This is q direct result Of the tactics of
those who managed the campaign here
against free sugar.
Kqhio next turned his attention to
Charley Rice whom, he said, he had
challenged to a public debate. He said
he had written Rice months ago, ehal.
longing him to speak with him on the
same platform, and debate the question
of who was the logical candidate, and
that Rice had refused, but had taken

Kuhio closed with a bitter attack
on Rice for the latter's alleged effort
TO win over the Rev. $. i. Desha. He
said that. Rice had called at Desha's

Kphio described as q life-long friend
of his, that IL Desha would support
him, he would see that Desha's son,

Imaginary Colds.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
People afraid of cold-ar drafts are

organism But, you may say. if ! sit
in a draft or get my feet wet ! take
cold. My answer is that imagination
plays strange tricks with us all
Not long ago an English scientist
subjected the draft superstition to ac-
curate tests. 1t was found that what
appeared to be taking cold under such
circumstances depended on the keen

run upon the subject of the bacteria

Baby Uses the Phone.
the Wide World Magazine


Probably the youngest child to habitu-
ally use telephone, although uncon-
sciously, is to be found at the present
time in Guernsey. France, where a four
month-old baby sleeps every fine day in
the open air with a telephone transmitter
at his side by which he calls his mother
on awakening. The baby here referred
to belongs to the engineer in charge at
Platte Fougere lighthouse station. He
devised this ingenious scheme in order to
allow his boy to benefit by the bracing
breeZes blowing in from the Atlantic
Inside baby's pram is cigar box. con-
tanning the telephone transmitter and a
small clock. Wires running up to the
house some distance away enable the
mother, in the intervals of her work. to
listen for baby's cry. When working at
the table. and during meals. it is easy
to listen continuously. The clock al
though its use is not at fast apparent.
forms an essential part of the device. for
the sound of its ticking provides the nee
essary proof that the telephone is trans
hitting sounds correctly. This method
of employing the telephone nursemaid
has proved completely successful and is
in daily use, while a rain alarm has also
been evolved to give warning by causing
an electric bell to ring should shower
come on.

come this difficulty or to get on the right
track was Col MIME. who about ISIS

expanded when the charge was fired SO
that it pressed itself into the rif1ng and
prevented the escape of powder and at
the same time took the rif1ing.
There was at one time a breech-load-
ing tintlock called the Hall musket. The
United States bought ten thousand of

Right on top of the sensation produced
by this HELLER rife came the Lebel rifle,
which was a French production. Its
caliber was .315 and it sent bullet out
of its muzzle at the rate of 2,034 feet
second and for a thousand yards OF
range that bullet did not go higher above
the horizontal tnan 1881 feet. In these
rifles, the HELLER and the Lebel, smoke
less powder was used. Smokeless powder
had been known for some time as a
laboratory product but connecting it up
with new style gun and a new style
bullet marked the opening of a new age
in small arms for military purposes, as
we'll as for sporting purposes.
LAS | remember. when these guns came
into being the United States had the 40
caliber breeeh-loading Springfield rifle,
the Martin-Henry was used in Portugal
and to some extent in England. the
Snider was in use in England. China and
Spain. the Remington was used by the
armies of Denmark, Egypt. Spain and
China, while Italy and Switzerland were
using the Vetterli. Germany had the old
type Mauser. France was using the Gras
gun and Russia the Berdon rifle.
The superiority of the small caliber
rifle with its power powder and its
of this gun were quickly adopted by the
this country by the ordnance board
which resulted in 1892 in the adoption of
the krag- Jorgensen. These tests began

arms. No doubt by going into
the records of the matter exact in
forma ton could be gathered which
would be of strong popular interest.
but as my recollection serves me 1t
was about 1886 that the HELLER rifle
made its appearance in Germany III
was a revolution in guns. 1t had
caliber that previously had never been
considered feasible in military rifles.
1t was approximately of ."o-callber. The
bore might have been a few thou
sandths of an inch bigger in diameter
than that. but it was about 30 which
is the standard caliber today
Up to that time the general caliber
of the military rife was As. and this
reduction from so IS and so caliher
had been brought about not so many
years before But to cut the caliber
down to thirty one-hundredths of an
inch was an innovation that old soldiers
could not grasp. Such "a bullet would not
stop a man. was the general criticism
among military men Eut the most re-
markable thing about the new weapon
was that it's bullet sped away from the
gun at velocity of over 1900 feet IA
second-1 1858 feet as ! recall Such We
locity had never be;nre been heard of. or
so far as soldiers knew. never thought of.
The military rifles of that day sent their
big lead shots at temperate pace com
pared with that.
The older guns with the ammunition
used in them produced an initial velocity
as low as Zoo feet second. and the
best of them We're around l.500-foot sec

fired by a man standing, and sighted for
l 900 Yards it went up only trif1e over
twenty feet above the horizontal. that

much lower than the od-fashioned bull

auently much heightened.

 Capital This Week

In order that the proverbial slip betwxt the cup and the lip might not occur to mar their present plans, the prohibition wing of the lower house of the lesisla- ture will have two meetings during the ensuing week. The first will be held in Birmingham December 30 and the second in Montgomery December 31.
 1t is said that it will not be necessary for one member to attend both meetings; that, as matter of fact, they were ar ranged for two places on different days-in order that no member of the party might have an excuse for not attending
 Ii is given out that prohibition will be the subject of discussion, and that t.,e present plan to repeal the Smith and Parks bill. leaving thereby the Carmich- ael and Fuller bills in force, will be ad- hered to.
 It is understood that the repeated ses- sons of prohibition legislators are att tributable to the desire of the leaders to so encompass the members around with open pledges that they will have great difficulty in refraining from trodding the straight and narrow"
 Considerable secrecy regarding the meet. ings is being observed and it is said that as the meetings will be executive nothing for the press will be available

MONROE FARMERS TOREDUCE ACREAGE
Cashier of Beatrice Bank Here-Interested in Crop
 Campaign

That the farmers of Monroe county hava determined to cut down the cotton produe- tion of that county next year 69 per cent is the news brought to Birmingham yes terday by w R. Sawyer, vice president and cashier of the Peoples Exchange bank of Beatrice. MT. Sawyer came to Birming- ham primarily, he states, to investigate matters in regard to better marketing of diversified crops of the farmers of his section.
 Mir Sawyer and Secretary w. c, Rad cliffe of the Chamber of Commerce, have been in correspondence for sometime re- garding the crop diversfication cam paign that will be put on in Alabama in February. MT. Sawyer states that the farmers of Monroe county are very strongly in favor of it, and are already waxing enthusiasm. MT Radcliffe has asked MT Sawyer to attempt to aid in stirring up enthusiasm in the crop cam paign among the surrounding counties in his section of the state.
 It is stated that the main purpose in putting on the diversified crop campaign will be how to market the crops after they are raised by the farmer To this end the railroads will be asked to CO., operate in hauling carload lots, stopping at country stations to take shipments of produce and diversified products Of the farm.

SHOWSSTRENGTH
 OF CARMICHAEL
Henderson Has Not Written Local OptiOnists in Interest
 of Johnston of Madison

A strong indication of the success of A. IT. Carmichael of Colbert in his race to become speaker of the lower house of the legislature was furnished yester- day when Isadore Shapiro, local option member from Jefferson county, admit ted that he was inclined to support MT. Carmichael.
 MT. Shapiro was asked if the report was true that he and pr. F. F. Hogan, both local optionists, had agreed to sup port the prohibition candidate. MT. Sha- piro did not commit himself positively in reply. However, he said:
 ''I am free to admit that I am inclined to support MT. Carmichael I under stand that pr. Hogan feels as I do in the matter.'
 MT Carmichael, as is Known, is the sole candidate of the prohibitionists, he having secured the retirement from the race of Henry P. Merritt of Macon coun- ty on agreeing to give him the right to name the standing committees of the house. The local option candidate is Ed Johnston of Madison.
 Mir. Shapiro declared that as far as he knew the report that Charles Ifen- derson, incoming governor, had taken up the fight of MT. Johnston, was un- founded.
 If MT. Henderson was actively be- hind MT. Johnston" he added, The would. in all probability, have written local option members asking them to support MT. Johnston.s I have received no such request from MT. Henderson
