Was just an ordinary iron pot but it car ried out the idea perfectly. And as is usual with the members of the local asso- citation they entered into the spirit of the occasion and soon the pot was filled with gold and silver trinkets and jewelry. Some of the articles were of little intrinsic value but doubtless represented as great a de gree of self sacrifice as those offerings that were valuable. All were a tribute to the self-sacrifice the women were willing to make to advance the feminist move ment
 There were gifts of money also ranging from a $2O gold piece to dime. The gifts of money also represented a sac rifce. that of fulhllment of some desire, or that had been earned by the donors by the work of their hands.
 But what a world of sentiment lies In the trinkets so freely bestowed in the melting pot. One old lady donated sill yer thimble that she had had for years, taking a 5-cent one in it's stead. A dainty baby pin of gold was probably the offer ing of some mother who had ceased to grieve for her darling In the firm lnowl- edge that it was in a happier land, yet gave up her dearest treasure for the cause. An old-fnshioned vanity box that doubtless brought pleasant memories of long since happy past was sacrificed on
  And then the rings, and pins, and brace lets, and buckles, and bangles, and watches and other articles of jewelry, all possibly representing tokens of love and affection, were given freely to the cause.
 The full significance of the call of the melting pot can be understood when one considers that in every city and com munity where an equal suffrage associa- tion exists throughout the country a simi- tion exists throughout the country a similar contribution will be made. What a vast outpouring there will be when all the donations are received al the national headquarters, for there every offering will be sent What a wonderful story could be written if the history of the offerings could be known There will probably be larger offerings than that of the Birmingham Equal Suffrage asso- ciation, but none representing a greater degree of self sacrifice or more steadfast devotion to the cause.

the state and the cities and people of the state are, and for long time have been, in such crying need.
 The idea is spreading that the ad- ministration of Charles Henderson-if nothing occurs to bring clouds upon the horizon-will be without the storms which featured the administra- tons of B. B. Conner and the present chief executive Tn other words, 1t Is believed in many sections of the state that Alaban ians will come together to accomplish good for Alabama and to insure peace, prosperity and relief from destructive political warfare waged in the past either for personal gain and ggrandizement or for the punishment of political enemies.
 The spirit of compromise seems to be existing. The next governor, for instance. believes in local option but it is very probable that his vote in Pike county would be of little com fort to the saloon element The next lieutenant governor is generally re- ferred to as prohibitionist, but he is not of that order of prohibitionists which struggles furiously to bite the legs of those who disagree. The can didates for speaker of the house are not obsessed with the idea that pro- hihifion Is the paternoster of the uni- verse. Henry P. Merritt Is not unbal- anced over this subject and it is een< erally known that A. Fl Carmichae ell WAS given valiant support fir his re- cent race ty those who invariably op- pose prohibition.
 So the inclination on the part of many men who now is to forget that an extra session for November was ever the subject of caucus In Mont gomery-or was even ever contem- plated. !

Local Banker Says Harding Is Man to Solve South
 ern Cotton Problem

In regard to the scheme to devise meth ods for withholding from market the southern cotton product of the current season, w. w. Crawford, president of the American Trust and Savings bank, hopes that President Wilson will ''let Hard ing do the work.
 T think that it would be an excellent solution of the problem said Mir. Craw- ford, were President Wilson to call w. P. Harding into conference and au- thorize him to prepare a plan for sub mission to Congress. MT. Harding is familiar with conditions in the south. and is familiar with the cotton business. If given free rein he would certainly deliver the goods to the satisfaction of the entire country
 'I intend to write Oscar Underwood this suggestion with the idea that he whisper it into the executive ear. South ern people would, I feel certain be pleased to leave it to Harding, and would feel safe in proceeding on the plan which he, after study. would devise.'
