FEW FARMERS TAKE
BANKRUPT LAW
Financial Distress Effects
Merchants, But Planters
Make Best of Situation

| Montgomery, December 5.-(Special }
Notwithstanding the hard times, the
| financial distress of a large number of
farmers in this section of the state. or
! the persistent efforts Of merchants and
other creditors to collect from them. not
one farmer has taken advantage of the
bankruptcy act to get himself out of
| trouble.
This information was learned upon in
quiry at the clerks office of the United
States district court here. The court has
branch offices at Opelilxa and Dothan,
and according to reports. no farmers have
applied to either of those offices for a
petition in voluntary bankruptcy
| Practically all of those who have taken
advantage of the bankruptcy act have
been merchants, most of them operating
on a small scale. A number of other
| merchants have been thrown into bank
ruptcy recently, but 1t is claimed that
the number is not much larger than usual
at this time of the year.
| The farmers of middle and south Ala
bama are making the best of the sit
uation, according to reports received here
and information learned at the federal
district court They have no money and
find themselves unable to get It, Many
of them are unable to purchase shoes
and clothing for their wives and chill
dren, and all Of them are continually
pressed by their creditors for funds. I'm
able to pay their debts most of them
are unable to buy what they really need
in their homess
But they are all making the best of the
situation. as unfavorable as it is What
failures there have been. what petitions
for voluntary bankruptcy have nearly all
come from small merchants. but not from
the farmers.
The situation In southeast Alabama is
said to be particularly distressing among
the farming classes. In that part of the
state the hard times are probably felt
more than In any other section of Ala
bama. but even there the farmers and
small merchants are living as best they
can. They are using their best efforts
and conserving what resources they have
to tide themselves over the period of
financial depression that has come upon
them.

since which cate he has been incar-
ccrated on the Parchman Farm.
Your petitioner would further show
that a plea Of not guilty was entered
Ly him upon his arraignment at the
above named term Of said Court, and
that he claimed at that time and still
contends that he was clearly justified
in taking the life Of said McAllister.
That at the time of the killing your
petitioner was in his own home, and
that the said killing resulted from an
alteration your petitioner was having

upon his assailant and killed him in de-
Tense of his own life from apparent
and certain danger. That at the time
of the said killing by your petitioner,
the said McAllister was engaged with
your petitioner in a ist-cuff, and your
petitioner had no intention of re-
sorting to any other defense against his
