Prosperity Around Sheffield

Business in Sheffield is somewhat
dull at the present time, but pros
poets are bright for industrial activity in
the near future" said Judge Joseph H.
Nathan.
"Of course there is great prosperity
in the agricultural communities. The
farmers of Colbert made good crops this
year and thrift is the rule.
II am greatly interested in Mr.. Under
woods candidacy for the United States
senatorship. I have never had any doubt
as to his election. What his supporters
are eager to see is a sweeping majority
over his opponent, Mr.. Hobson. Under
wood will carry Sheffield. [ think by
four to one. / have talked with demo-
Gratis from different parts of the state,
and it seems that Underwood stock has
risen very much within the last week or
two. Mr.. Underwood has been making
great speeches. His friends are now
aroused to a high pitch of enthusiasm,
and I think Underwood's majority will
be as big as his most ardent prophets
have predicted

Help Market Crops

In talking over the matter of en-
couraging the farmers of Alabama TO
produce what the people of the state
consume in food and forage crops, as
the Alabama State Land congress is
seeking to bring about. j. ID,
Moore of Moore e. Handley Hardware
Co. said the other day that this could
and would be done If the business men
of the state would aid in marketing
those crops.
'The farmers" said Mr.. Moore, raise
cotton to the exclusion of other crops be-
cause they know how to market that crop,
but in the other crops they have not
had the same experience, and If they
can be taught to realize that they can
sell other crops as readily as they do
cotton, the problem would be solved
and Alabama would not be sending =
millions of dollars out of the state for
flour, meal, meats, hay and other crops
that can be grown here as well as
elswhere. 1t is one of the most impor-
tant matters before the people of the
state and Birmingham is very much in
terested in it, or should be, and | thinn
the land congress should be aided in
it's efforts to solve this great question
in which the prosperity and progress
of Alabama is so much involved

A National Blunder

1t is somewhat difficult to gauge
the attitude of the United States gov
ernment toward the approaching PAN
ama-Pacific fair in its meagre appro-
priation Of S500,00O in behalf of the
project.
AS California has appropriated the
generous sum Of S17,000,000 toward
the enterprise, it may be that Con-
gress deemed it unnecessary to fur
ther augment the amount to any ap-
preciable extent, and while California
has undoubtedly greater benefits to
reap from the fair than any other Sec
ton of the union, the exhibition is by
no means local undertaking. 1t is not
a San Francisco fair, it is not Cali
fornia fair, nor may it be regarded as
Pacific coast fair; it is national in
its scope and features, aye more than
that, it is international in a far
reaching degree.
The Philadelphia centennial, the
Worlds fair at Chicago and the
Worlds fair at st. Louis were cele-
brated in commemoration of events,

HOW ONIONS CURE COLDS

From the New York American.
Most persons know that eating a raw
onion drives out cold,' but why the
onion should possess this benefcient
power not one in a hundred persons who
were cured would be able to say.
The oil contained In the onion, chives.
longs in the category of spices and this
oil has deadly effect upon certain patha-
genie that is to say, harmful bacteria
fiourshing III various organs of the hli-
man body. The intestinal flora against
which DR.. Metchnikoff wages his inces-
SAINT campaign are the best known of the
pathagenic bacteria and ere among the
most dangerous. But the microbe which
causes colds is quite annoying.
According to DR.. Haig. the great uric
acid specialist. all colds are due to a
combination of three things-a chill, mi
orobe or a uric acid tendency which pre-
pares cell for the microbe growth. In
addition to being a source of great dis
comfort a cold is dangerous as well, be-
cause the person suffering with 1t is al
ways in jeopardy of pneumonia. The
pneumonia germ, the dipococcus pneuma-
MAE, is present in moderate numbers in
the mouth of perfectly healthy persons,
but the mucous membrane forms sort
of protective wall against it to bar it from
entering the system.
During cold the extremely delicate
membrance lining of the nose, mouth and
throat is intensely irritated and it's pro-
tective efficiency is greatly weakened,
affording the pneumonia germ a better
foothold than when the membrane is
in normal condition.
Among the germs to which the oil of the
onion is a deadly foe is the cold mlcrobe,
and by attacking it one of the causes
producing colds is obviated. Thus the cold
microbe, one of the necessary three fac
tors that caused the cold An onion, eaten
raw, will drive out the cold"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-01-07
Sir LiOners Transfer

The transfer to Brazil of Sir Lionel
Garden, present British minister to
Mexico, is a distinct tribute to the
policy of President Wilson, and recog-
milton of its soundness by England.
Garden, it was, who caused a diplo-
matte incident between the United
States and Great Britain by his criti-
cism of the Mexican policy of the ad-
ministration, and that he was wrong
is now tacitly admitted by his govern
ment.
Sir Lionel seems to take a contrary
view of his removal He argues that
the appointment of another British
minister to Mexico will only serve to
reaffirm Great Britain's recognition
of Huerta. 1t might be pointed cut
that no announcement has been made
of the appointment of successor to
Sir Lionel as yet. That such an ap-
pointment will be made is very pr :
BILE, but few outside observers will
view it as Sir Lionel processes to do.
That the transfer was not made
sooner after the incident is but natur-
al. Great Britain was unwilling to hu-
initiate a diplomat of long standing,
for which she is not to be censured.
To have recalled Sir Lionel immed-
ately after the representations of the
United States would not have been
dignified, but delayed as the transfer
has been, it is none the less an une-
quivocal rebuke to the minister.
Obstacles to the policy of the
United States are slowly but surely
being removed. Sir Lionel Garden
doubtless is responsible for much of
Huerta's boastful defiance of lis
country, as he has felt all along that
a mistake was being made and that
the assassin of Madero and Suarez
should be realized.
Henry Lane Wilson, our own ambas-
sador, thought the same thing and was
removed. Sir Lionel agreed with him
and was removed. AS Huerta recog-
nizes that the powers of Europe ac-
corded him recongition through mis-
understanding of conditions, a recog-
milton which they are manifesting in
creasing desire to withdraw, it is ,os-
sible that he may see great light.

THE UNDERWOOD TARIFF

From the London Times, December 49,
We have obtained from correspondents
in the leading commercial and industrial
centres of England, as well as from Dun
dee in Scotland and Belfast in Ireland, re-
ports bearing ON the effect, actual or
prospective, of the Underwood tariff upon
British trade with the United States. As
might be expected, the reports vary very
much in character Some are optimistic,
others are diffident. Some of the reports
reveal the chara cteristically British at
titude of caution and suspended 1udg-
nent in a marked desree. In perhaps the
majority OF the idustrial towns no ap-
preciatle expansion of business has yet
been experienced but in several cases,
nota bly, Leeds. Dundee, and Belfast, dis
tinct fillip is stated to have been already
given to trade by reason of the lowering
of the tariff barrier. In few places II
sppears to he realized that the effect
may not be entirely one-sided; that, IN
fact, manufacturers in certain lines may
become formidable rivals in the home
market.
The prevailing attitude may perhaps be
best described as one of hopeful but eau
tious anticipation. But the reports gen
erslly certainly lend no support to the
view which was apparently entertained in
some quarters on the other side of the
Atlantic that British manufacturers and
merchants are not either well informed
with regard to the opportunities presented
by the recent fiscal legislation or indis-
posed to take the fullest advantage OF
| them,

Business Conditions

The new year has started off with
bright prospects for a revival of ac-
tivity in the business world. In the
Birmingham district business was
fairly good throughout the fall, when
complaint of dullness was heard in
other parts of the country.
In banking circles the feeling has
been decidedly optimistic. Capital,
which hesitated last fall, is now giving
indication of readiness for investment
along new lines of development. 1t
may be several weeks yet before pros
perity throughout the country is in full
swing, but there can be no reasonable
doubt as to the high average of pros
perity for this good year 1914. The
agricultural districts are more pros
porous than ever before, and when the
farmers are we'll to do commercial and
industrial activity is sure to follow.
Last year was one of the best in Bir-
mingham's history, but this new year
will surpass it,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-01-07

met with the same fate. No race riots
were precipitated and in Mississippi a
negro was hanged by members of his
own race.
Nineteen of the years victims were
accused of numbering white men and
four were alleged to have killed white
women. Nine cases of the usual Of
fense' were charged and four of an
allied character claimed.
This record is encouraging and the
decrease of mob violence may be at
tributed to an increasing determina-
tion upon the parts of the chief state
executives, sheriffs and other author
tiles of the south to see that the law
is respected and that legal punishment
be meted out to those violating its

benefit of the law and that all con-
victs be made to feel its punishment.

the certainty of punishment than upon
its severity and it is being daily recog-
nized that any government is but
flimsy pretense of justice, law and or
der where unbridled passions and vici-
Gus propensities are permitted to sup
plant statutes, procedures and legal
executions.
