The farmers of the state of Alabama will be requested by the Chamber of Com merce. the Jefferson County Buy-a-Bale of Cotton club and members of the Ala bama cotton conference, which met at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, to plant not less than four acres of wheat and not less than five acres of oats this fall the idea being to save the south next year from the possibility of facing d situation like the present one.
 The cotton conference, which was called by the Chamber of Commerce about a week ago, requested the civic body to ask the cotton mills of the state to pay at least 10 cents a pound for cotton. The Chamber of Commerce will do this, for, it was pointed out, mills can make a reasonable profit even when, paying 10 cents a pound for the staple \ It is in- tended to make the movement nation wide, the Birmingham Chamber of Con- merce fostering it. Alabama will be thor oughly worked first, and it is believed by those interested that the mill owners will respond to the advances of the civic chamber.
 Should Reduce Acreage
 One of the interesting points of discus sion yesterday was the price of cotton as it now stands. Several speakers point ed out that the farmer would not sell his home, his horse, or any other tangible asset of like nature at less than its intrinsic worth, and that the same rule should prevail as regards cotton. Cotton, it was said, is worth at least 10 cents a pound and farmers should not on any account sell 1t for less. The point was stressed that the cotton acreage. should be reduced next year and that farmers should hold as much cotton as possible the present year. If this be done, it was said, next year the price will go up and the man who held his cotton will get its full value.
 committee to handle such matters as may develop from time to time was named as follows: w. D. Nesbitt Bir- mngham; s. P. Mcdonald, Sylacauga Judge L. H. Reynolds, Clanton S. J. Bowie, Birmingham; Judge A. P. Long, shore, Columbiana. The committee, after its appointment, insisted that P. G. Shook

ALBERT BUSH IN
 YESTERDAY WRECK
Mobile Man Thinks It a, Miracle That So Many Es-
 capped Awful Death

Albert Bush of Mobile reached here late yesterday afternoon on a train made up at the scene of the Alabama Great Southern wreck at klondiSe He was one of the Pullman passengers who aided the wounded yesterday morning. Mir. Bush said that the whole list of passengers would have perished in that wreck but for a box car of slag, which acted as wedge and held the Pullman cars on the rails MT. Bush said the scenes at the wreck were horrible and that no such misery had ever been witnessed by him before.
 'I was not jolted a great deal" said MT. Bush. "I heard the crash and arose
 immediately. We secured torches and lan- terms and tried to do all that we could to get the wounded out of the cars. This work was accomplished rather orderly and quickly The wounded were carried into the Pullman cars that remained on the track and an engine was secured to carry thel train to Meridian.
 "rhe opinion seemed to be that the wreck was caused by someone throwing the switch. The officials brought blood hounds to the scene but they did not take up a trail The Alabama Great South ern did everything possible to alleviate the suffering of the injured. Medical aid and nurses were procured quickly and the passengers were given all attention. The scenes about the wreck were dis tressing. MT. Smith of Gulfport. who lost his baby and whose wife and daugh- ter were hurt, presented one of the sad dest spectacles at the wreck He was bloody from head to foot. He assisted in caring for his family and then was taken care of himself. It is simply mirac- uous the way We were saved. can- not understand that anyone could 1.-Two through such an affair. But for the car of sag we would all have been killed l believe"
 MT. Bush came here yesterday afternoon with Robert Jemison, ST. His mother and his sister, Mrs. w. D. Nesbftt, met him at the station. Other passengers that came here were sent straight through to Chattanooga and their respective desti- nations ff

COMMITTEE ID MEET ID PLAN CAMPAIGN OF PARTY NOMINEES.
Democrats Are Determined to Roll Up Unusually Large MajOrities for
 Candidates

For the purpose of devising a pro- eramfne whereby democratic nominees for state and county, offices may be success fully guided in their political struggles with republicans the campaign commit tee of the democratic party will be con vened in Birmingham toward the end of the month
 Announcement to this effect was made last night by W. D. Nesbitt, chairman oi the committee. He declared also that on the date of the meeting campaign head quarters would be opened and declared ready for business.
 Walter l.. Sessions of Birmingham, sec retary of the state democratic executive committee, issued the following statement yesterday afternoon confirming the re port contained yesterday morning in The Ase-Herald's Montgomery correspondence;
 Pursuant to the resolution adopted by the state executive committee of the dem- ocratic and conservative party of Ala bama, authorizing it's chairman to ap- point a campaign committed, the chair man has appointed the following cam paign committee for 1914: Chairman, W. D. Neshitt of Jefferson; at large, R. A. Mitchell of Etowah; at large, J. C. Kumpe of Lawrence: First district, w. H. Lindsey of Choctaw; Second district, John Gamble of Pike Third district, w. H. Morris of Geneva; Fourth district, E. W. Pettals of Dallas; Fifth district, J. G. Wood of Lowndes Sixth district. George A. Searcy of Tuscaloosa Seventh dis trict, R. L. Barnes of Marshall; Eighth 1ir+,. ~ district, George B. Tarrant of Jefferson. "
 While nomination at the hands of democrats in Alabama is equivalent to an election, there is always desire to make the opposition appear as negative as pos sible. To this end the campaign com mittee will bend itself. It will also do a great deal of work in the Seventh con gressional district, in which it is said the republicans have a possible chance of success, and in the several north Ala bama counties. where the republicans and progressiyes as rule elect their officials.
 The committee as named by Bibb Graves chairman of the executive com mittee, is considered strong one. It is interesting to note that the chairman of the campaign committee, the two mem- bers from the state at large and prob ably a majority of the other members were ardent supporters in the democratic primaries of B. B. Conner, the defeated candidate for governor. It is pointed out that the activity of these former sup porters of MT. Conner in behalf of the successful candidate, whom they strenu- ously tried to defeat some months ago, will serve to prove the solidarity of de- mocracy in Alabama. Practically every member of the committee was supporter of Oscar w. Underwood, nominee for the Senate.

MORE TALK IS HEARD
 OF AN EXTRA SESSION

The present legislature. In the event of an extra session, has committed it. self to a programme of business. If a special session of the new legislature is called, at least one of it's members will introduce a statewide prohibition bill, and a resolution calling for the ap- pointment of committees to investigate several departments of tho state govern ment
 The probability of g. call for a special session was discussed in Birmingham yes terday with much interest. This county wants an extra session of the new leg islature so that the anti-fes amendment can be put into effect before the election of county officials and thus eliminate the possibility of a long drawn out lawsuit of doubtful issue.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-09-19

It is reported in political circles of Bir- mingham that the governor of Alabama immediately following his return from Washington will issue call for a special session of the legislature to consider means for the protection of the farmer and the cotton crop of the state.
 The governor is confronted by dilem- ma, in that if he calls 6 special session of the present members of the legis- lature he will have to call special elec- tions for the purpose of filling vacancies. and if he calls special session of the members of the next legislature, he will have to await the middle of November, whereas immediate action is considered essential

iioNoNs Jiifi-
 This was the greeting yesterday morn ing of the two candidates for the posi- ton of city commissioner. They met face to face on Twentieth street and after the exchange of greetings stepped aside and mutually embraced convenient lamp lights that make the great white way and engaged in an animated conversation for fully half an hour.
 And so engrossed were they in the con versation aforesaid that they even passed up the salutations of tried and trusted friends of both the distinguished gentle men who passed by. They seemed as oblivious of their immediate surroundings bridal couple of tender years on their honeymoon.
 After they had both latched onto the lamp post and placed their feet on the pedestal therof, brief silence ensued.
 What do you know?' queried Jim to start the conversation.
 What do you know?D countered Harry.
 q have just heard that Jerusalem has declared war on Sweden, but it is not yet verified said Jim with a smile.
 .They tell me that the Swiss navy is bombarding the Pyrenees, although you can't place much credit in unconfirmed dispatches came back Harry with a grin.
 They both smiled and then another si- lence ensued

IS FIRM HERE BUYING HORSES FOR BRITAIN Wording of Fies & Sons Ad- vertisement Resembles
 That in England

It is believed in some circles in Birming- ham that F'ies x Sons are in the market for horses for the British government, al- though the firm refuses to confirm such statements. MT. F'ies yesterday said he was purchasing for private contracting firms, and that he thought one of the firms was located in Canada. He seemed in doubt as to the exact location or the name of this firm, however.
 few days ago Fies & Sons advertised in the classified columns of The Age Herald wanting to buy horses betweeen the ages of and years. The British government is advertising for such horses in England. and the wording of the Brit ish government advertising and that of F'ies & Sons ad is almost identical.

be named it's chairman and he perforee took the position. The committee will meet next Tuesday at o'clock in the directors room of the Chamber of Com merce to review the situation.
 It was the unanimous opinion of those in attendance at the conference yes- terday that the buy-a-bale movement had the effect of increasing the price of cot ton by at least cents pound during the past few days. The movement was heartily indorsed and it is intended to begin forming such clubs throughout the state immediately.
 Active Work Next Week
 "Tnis movement is a message to the farmer in the way of life line, which tells him that he has help in the fight to have the fruits of his labors,' said $. J. Bowie, who was the first speaker. Here in Birmingham we have 50 or 75 live wires who next week will begin an active canvass of the city in the interest of the movement"
 G. l.. Conner stated that mills should pay at least 10 cents a pound for cot ton. He said that his mill had purchased 300 bales at 10 cents a pound and was in the market for more. He also said that they were making handsome profit on cotton at 10 cents.
 The actual buying of cotton began yes terday and dozen or more bales already have been purchased Another member was added to the club. when the DeSoto bar called Secretary Everett and asked him to send a bale of cotton up to their place of business this morning. MT. Ev- erett will do so.
