 The situation now to be dealt with not only concerns the American, but the cot ton crop of the world. The solution of the difficulty is of supreme importance. It is evident that even if the English mills are able to run on half time, at least one third of the worlds cotton crop would not be wanted at a time when it is pressed heavily on the market. although but for the war it would have been purchased be- tween now and the end of the season by countries whose industries are now par alyzed.

Relieve the Kidneys

If your kidneys are not able to handle the waste products of the body, it is highly important that they be put into good working condition. Improper kid ney action causes more sickness, suffer- ing and serious complications than any other disease, because the blood is fil- tered and purified through the kidneys. If you are troubled with headache. dig ziness, aching joints. nausea or other symptoms of kidney disease, you should begin at once the use of Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy.

 Mr. Walden has always been considered a prohbitonist. At the present time he believes that it would be wise for the state to attempt further to regulate the traffic in liquor However, he will not support female suffrage when that issue Is put before the house. He thinks that the convict lease system as 1t obtains in Alabama should be eliminated-gradually. He would support measure making 1t incumbent on the state to turn over to fa,rilies of convincts fraction of the earnings of the convicts. He believes that public utility commission should be created in order that general supervision might be had over all public utility cor poratons of the state. He will support movement having for its object the calling of a constitutional convention.

To Discuss Conditions

Washington, october 10.-Conditions in the exchange dealings between the United States and England and the situation in the cotton markets of the world will be discussed at confer ence here next week between Secre- tary of the Treasury McAdoo and Sir George Paish and Basil Blackett, rep resenting the British chancellor of the e1chequer and the British treasury
 The Englishmen are coming to this country at the invitation of MT Me- Adoo and afe expected to reach New York next week on the Baltic.
 The conference will probably include members of the federal reserve board and officials here hope that 1t will lead to cooperation between the finan- ciers of the two nations which will clear up conditions in the foreign ex- change market. So far no invitation has been extended to Germany to par ticipate in this conference. It was ex- plained tonight that any balance be- tween this country and Germany is so slight at present that there is no need for such a conference. If this need arises in the future, however, 1t Is slated that a similar invitation will he extended to the German government. IL is said tonight that there is no present intention of officials here to create some sort of international bu- reau to handle credits. although this may be result of the meeting.
 Have Accomplished Much
 The already formed syndicate of New York bankers which will take care of about $S0000,000 of American obligations to Europe and the $100,- 000.0CC gold pool to carry obligations amounting to that much more, have done much, in the opinion of the of ftcials, to clear up foreign exchange. The principal foreign exchange of the markets of the world Is in London and the total so far guaranteed by Amer lean banks is not sufficient to meet all the obligations incurred during the making. In the conference next week it is arranged for reaching some un- derstanding which will serve the prob lem of future transactions. It is pos sihle that 1t may result in making it unnecessary for the American bankers to ship a large part of the $100,0O0,O gold fund from the United States and 1t was pointed out tonight may make 1t possible for the New York syndicate to meet the obligations they have agreed to meet with the actual trans fer Of $S0,00O,eO0 in American gold.
 Sir George and MT. Blackett are ex- pected also to discuss the cotton sit uation at some length. England is all most as dec ply interested in cotton as Is the United States. and her treasury officials may be able to suggest feas- ih,e ways to aid in taking care of the surplus American crop.

classes--that for street opening to the
extension of Bishop street and that for

''More unfortunate selections Of
works could hardly have been made as
events proved Bishop street extension
was found to be hampered with GER
cain agreement whereby thr Territorial
Hotel Company, one Of the largest
benefieiaries to have been assessed, was
assured against any special levy Of the
kind School street extension fronted
upon properties whose owners loudly
protested that assessment of the cost

fiscation. There is reason to believe,
indeed, that our activity in favor Of

Clubs persistence in declining to re-
Join this central organization.
HHowever, the encouragement v0uch-
safed by the chairman Of the municipal

caused your executive committee TO rest
ON its oars until municipal inaction
lasted SO long as to dispel such fond be-

IIt is respectfully submitted that a
grave omission Of duty is chargeahle
TO the board of supervisors on account
Of their failure to carry out the win

roads and streets. Had the road policy
Of the board been shaped in consonance
with the enactments in question, imme-
diately after their approval by the Gov
ernor, the present deplorable condition
Of the municipal treasury would not
exist, while the mileage Of new and
improved streets, respectively, would
have been increased TO an extent far
beyond any previons record for equal
time. This is as plain as the sum Of
two and two.
IF the supervisors had made the
paving Of streets in the business sec
tion conditioned upon the property
frontage thereon bearing, say, one half
the cost, either the proprietors would
jump at the chance Of the betterment
or deservedly go without it until the

cost OF paving certain streets, the own.
