Follow Plan of Warrant Warehouse Company in Birmingham-Banks
 Will Accept Paper

Eufaula, october Especial IA plan is On foot here whereby one of the local cotton warehouses will re- coive cotton as collateral for loan and issue warehouse certificates to the amount of this loan. which will be accepted as cash by merchants and business men of the city and be re- deemed by the banks of the city.
 It is said that the warehouse behind the movement had closed negotiations with their financial packers in New York city and as soon as contract is signed up they will bond their ware house and begin the operation Of the new system, which has already been adopted Joy one of the warehouses In Birmingham, with the cooperation Of five city banks and a number of mer- chants and business men.

SOME EARLY GLIMPSES
 AT NEXT LEGISLATURE
MT. Kelley Commits Him.
 self On Nothing But Con- fesses to Having Been Born In Georgia.
By HIGH ". ROBERT.

The suffragettes might have a friend in T. E. Kelley, R. F. D. No ?, Dothan who will represent Houston county in the next session Of the legislature.
 And then they might find him foe as | uncompromislng as the great majority of others who will have seats in the house. For MT. Kelley is too shrewd to commit himself on any proposition.
 Mir. Kelley does not tell The Age-Herald whether he is a democrat or a socialist, a farmer or dentist, benedict or a wom- an hater. In regard to all subjects, he is reticent. If one should judge from the expression of his countenance, he would reach the conclusion that, despite his re- ticence, he has opinions on all subjects, and that he will be ready to give voice to the same whenever the time is ripe for action.
 At any rate, he bears the commission of the people of Houston county and those people are so worthy and so capable of judging men that The Age-Herald is con vinced that MT. Kelley will give a good account of himself when called upon to stand and deliver"
 MT. Kelley began his career with the handicap of having been born in Georgia. The place was Decatur, near which r1p- ples the sometimes beautiful little Ocloeknee river. As an index to his character it might be stated that he was not stunned by his handicap. He imme- diately put in operation efforts to elim- mate the handicap and very soon we find him a resident of Alabama.
 The year of his birth was 1854. He came as a present to make his parents happy in the merry Yuletide season. for it was just four days before Christmas that he first looked upon the day. His star was

 The farmers were promised that not a one of them would be unduly crowded for collections, that they would be assisted in holding the present crop as much as pos sible
 The farmers seemed in hearty sym pathy with the movement to cut the acre age in two. Following this meeting the Dothan Chamber of Commerce has inau- gurated a campaign getting farmers to sign pledges not to plant over 50 per cent of this years acreage in cotton.

 MORE VEGETABLES
