CULTIVATING LARGE
 FARM NEAR JASPER
Thousand -acre Tract Being Opened Up-Revival Meeting Starts
 Sunday-Primary Sept. 2l

Jasper. August 0.-(SpeciaL)-- thou sand-acre farm, 800 of which has been re- gently cleared, is being opened up near Jasper. The farm is between Jasper and Manchester and belongs to the Jasper joining the Alabama Central railroad. It will be about two miles in length when completed
 The land is owned by l.. B. Musgrove of this city and l.. w. Lollar is overseeing the work of having the timber cut and removed from the land. They began oper- ating last February, and have about 10 acres in cultivation this year. which is producing exceptionally fine cotton for rough soil and late planting.
 That the people are taking more inter- est in farming in this county Is indi- cated by the abundance of farm products which are being put on the market. A few years ago 1t was difficult to get farm eatables from the country, but now they are brought to town every day.
 On next Sunday there will begin series of meetings at the First Methodist church of Jasper. The preaching will be done by the Rev. G. A. Klein, assisted by the local pastor, the Rev. J. T. Morris, and MT. Kiein's soloist, F. M. Boyd.
 Anew mayor and aldermen for the city Of Jasper will be elected September 21. Contrary to usual elections in this county there has not been any interest at all in the approaching municipal election. As far as is known not single man has an- nounced for any of the offices which will be made vacant
  ia too absurd and ridiculous to need fur ther comment It is simply an effort to protect the citizens of this community in a matter vital to their welfare. and the means employed are necessary and proper to that end. This involves no breach of any contract nor the unlawful taking of any property. If reasonable price can be agreed upon between ali parties, well and good; if not. then let the city build it's own plant. This it has plain right, and under the circumstances 1t is it's plain duty to do.
 "Nor is there anything in the sugges- tion that we would have to pay interest upon an enormous issue of bonds for a long term of years before the new plant would be available. The usual custom ir such cases is to deliver the bonds to the purchasers only as the proceeds are need ed. and interest to be collected only from the time of the actual payment of the money into the city treasury. There is no doubt that this would ne done in this case. And it is equally the custom ir such cases, and altogether proper, to in. ciude the item of interets so paid dur ing the period of construction into the cost of the plant. which would be includ. ed in the bond issue. Then the interest so paid would be capitalized and would never appear as charge against the general funds of the city:
