 Trade

New York, July 17.-Trade in fancy and colored cotton goods for the 1916 spring season broadened during the week and at very low prices there has been some late contracting on wide print cloths. Values on wide cloths reached a low level of SAC for a-yard 80 squares at 3s4 cents for 3S1.einch 6bx60s. these prices representing a decline of approximately Ac a yard since the first of last month. Sheetings, drills and other staple brown goods for domestic use have ruled quiet. Bleached cottons are steady, particularly on the better known branded linens. Duck for export is in steady demand. sale of 200o pean markets being one of the influences of the week. On a basis of 14c a yard lower than last year a large business Is being done on shirting chambray and bleached madras for the manufacturing trades. Buyers of fine and fancy cottons are now looking over lines for the coming season. On some lines there are good orders in hand, and generally speaking the business shows a much more hopeful prospect than year ago. Hosiery trade is good and underwear business moderate only. In yarns the best business is being done for combed numbers for tire duck Prices quoted: Print cloths. 2S-inch 64x GAS, Slsc, 64x64s, 80; 3S1s-inch 64x6fs. 15-16c: brown sheetings southern stand ards.

ALABAMA ID HAVE l. PACKING PLANT ON
 A. B. & A. RAILROAD
w. W. CrOxtOn Talks of Re markable Growth of Live Stock Industry Along
 His Lines
By HERyEY W. LAIRD

Atlanta, July 17-(SpeciaL)-The cree ton of a packing plant like that at Moul- trie. Ga, at some point on the line of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, in Alabama, Is under considera- tion by leading business men of Alabama and Georgia.
 This has come about as a result of the great success of the Moutrie enterprise, the largely increa sed crops of corn and the enormous growth in the number of hogs It is also an enlargement of an idea of promoting enterprises of this kind all along the line of the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic
 The results of the Moultrie packing house in the first six months of its work are remarkable. In that time they have bought 16,es1 hogs, for which they paid the farmers le7.so5.ss, and 1242 cattle. for which ss5, .2s was paid. The fgufes show that hogs are very much more plen- tiful than cattle and indicate the scarcity of the latter.
 w. W. Croxton, general passenger agent of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad has kept a record of the cattle movements In his territory, growing out of the revival of interest in live stock
 There was sale of Herefords at Quit man. Ga. a few days ago. and one of Shorthorns at Albany, little later" said Mr. Croxton, Doth of which were sue cess. There is a renewed interest every where, not only in cattle, but In better cattle Over POO pure bred animals have been imported to points on our line alone in the past year."
 After a trip over his road, which is not far from 600 miles of track in Ala abama and Georgia. MT. Croxton is wonderfully hopeful for the farming sections
 There is the most pronounced increases in diversiflcation of crops,' he said. "In one small section there haze been planted over 5000 acres In cantaloupes, amounting to 600,000 crates, which have brought good prices so far as marketed. The water melon crop is good, with every outlook for success with peaches. In many sec tions they are raising snap beans, roasting ears and other vegetables with profit.
 South Georgia is preparing q new in- dustry, spinach and rutabagas for the Tall. laying out to put in large crops. In a number of sections sweet potatoes are going to be planted largely, with the erec- ton of kilns to keep them for winter prices. A great deal of tobacco is also being raised. The cotton crop is good all along our line. with POO per cent more oats than has ever been known. Large quan- titles of pea vine hay. clover and alfalfa have been made. and the corn-you never saw the like.
 But my intention when began to talk was to discuss this matter of packing houses. They are great things. They not only create values in the product they 1 turn out, but they induce and encourage | the growth of live stock as nothing else l will. We hope to get another one on our | line in q short time. And we trust that l this will be followed by many others, not only in our territory, but all over the | south"

A Summer Laxative

E, You need not worry about a laxative. If you could find one that would act in $. mild and gentle way, cause no nausea or bad after effects and still at the san le time stir your liver to act5ion and thoroughly cl leanase se your bowels, would you try it? Norton's Mint Lax does all this. It contains II 0 calomel or other dangerous drugs so often found in otl Ter cathar- tic tablets and pi ls.

CONCERT SERIES AT
 TUTWILER HOTEL
Mrs. J. E. Frazier Arranges Second Course After Success Attending
 Concerts Last Season

Music lovers will be interested in the announcement of Mrs. J. E. Fra zier who managed the successful se- ries of Sunday afternoon musicales at the Tutwiler last season and who will again present four high class concerts in the Tutwiler ballroom during the coming season.
 Judging from the artists engaged the series of 1915-16 will surpass in excellence even that of last season. The attractions are as follows:
 Albert Spalding. celebrated Amer ican violinist, and Frederick Gunster, tenor, whom Birmingham claims as its own, in joint recital, November 21.
 Francesca Kaspar Lawson, soprano. an artist who has already gained rec oghition in the east, December.
 Edward Brigham. basso profundo and dramatic reader January.
 Tilly Koenen, famous Dutch con- tralto, February.
 Albert Spalding, who was heard in Birmingham, appearing a few years ago in one of the earlier Sunday aft ernoon series. ranks among the worlds great violinists. Critics, both American and European, have compared this American favorably with the most re- nowned violinists. noting also the great strides made by him from year to year in his artistry. He has ap- peared in all the capitals of Europe and his popularity has even taken him to South America on concert tours. He is the only violinist to be re-cngaged for the celebrated La Scala concerts in Milan. Only great violinists play at La Scala concerts and Spalding ere ated furore. resulting in return en- gagement.
 The usual price of $5 for the course tickets, admitting two persons to each of the four concerts. is giving Birming- ham music lovers an opportunity to hear high class musical attractions at an exceptionally low cost and the man. agement hopes that they will avail themselves of such early in the sea son, as only 250 tickets are for sale, the equivalent of 800 admissions to each concert.
 Further information may be had from Mrs Frazier The course tickets will soon be ready for distribution

STRUGGLE OF MEN
 r TO KEEP UP WORK.
Birmingham Has Some Excellent Companies But They Have AL ways LabOred Under Very
 Serious Handicaps
By M. HARVIE

As the days go by and this coun-
 try finds itself balanced on the edge
 of the conflict that has turned all
 Europe into a vast armed camp, the
 minds of thoughtful men turn more
 and more upon the national defense.
 The problem of being prepared is up-
 permost It is not enough that we Nhink this or say that-it Is what VIC 9S able to do that counts. No one
 who loves his country and who Is able to look the situation squarely in the face will deny that we are utterlysun- prepared to resist aggression.
 We are the richest and strongest, and yet the weakest of the earth's nations. We have potential army of ls 000,000 men, and an actual army OF less than 100000. We could whip the earth" on paper, yet in fact We could not defend ourselves against the attack of any first class power We could destroy any enemy if given time, but not until we had suffered ruin and destruction and loss of life unthink- able. We could marshal vast armies, lay in supplies and fabricate arms at Ia rate unheard of in history, but it would require months for these ar mies to learn even the rudiments of their business. And in the meantime the country would be held at the mercy of the invader.
 Serious as the situation undoubtedly lis in regard to war material, we are even more inadequately supplied with the most essential of all the imple- ments of war that is, trained sol |diers. No one has ever questioned the |courage and devotion of the Americani volunteer. He has proven both on tod many fields for anyone to doubt him but courage and devotion are not h ' hny means the only necessary quat l. |ties of a soldier. All nations as re brave; all men will fight. No cou IT,

Your trust in the Lord, but keep your powder dry" kind of policy, there is one thing agreed upon. That is that a soldier cannot be made in a day, and that no army can be better than the individual soldiers in sthe ranks. In the art of war as in everything else we are in an age of specialism, and the only way to make specialists is by long and arduous training. The giv- ing of this training is the main pur- pose of the national guard.

Alaska and the
Food Supply.

The annual report of Gov. Strong, Of
Alaska. lays especial stress on the ag-
ricultural possibilities of the territory.
In the statistics given by Gov. Strong.
the Louisville Courier-Journal sees a
chance for the United States to make
Alaska source Of food supply. The
idea is a splendid one. as Alaska might
he able to furnish, in the future. not
only meats. but grain and potatoes
in largo quantities.
There are 50.O0O,000 acres OF land
there suitable for farming purposes.
and II Is estimated that millions of
acres could be used also for dairying
and cattle raising. The government
railway will open up large districts
known to be rich in mineral, agricul-
tural and other resources.
Alaska will certainly furnish much
meat. Already the fisheries there are
extensive. Last year fish production
in that country contributed $17,000,O00
to the national wealth. Gov. Strong
thinks there is possibility of great
growth in. the raising of reindeer. At
present there are sixty-two herds ana
they aggregate $4,000 animals. He de-
clares: IF markets for fresh reindeer
meat could be opened in the United
States 1t would aid in solving the meat
supply problem. The meat is delicious
and could be sold at prices consider
ably lower than those which fresh
beef and other meats now command.
with the government railway, Alas
ka will be opened for rapid develop
ment. The prospect that the country
in the north will be able to furnish
us with food as well as with gold. coal
and other valuable minerals Is certain
~ worth serious consideration. Gov.
Strong's estimates of possible meat
supply from Alaska are based on ac-
tual figures.

TRIBUTES FROM STATE PRESS TO
MEMORY OF FRANK L. MAYES
Tribute from Alabama.

Tribute from Alabama.
The Advertiser is shocked to learn
OF the unexpected death Monday
morning at 1855 o'clock of Colonel
Frank L. Mayes, editor and principal
owner of The Pensacola Journal. He
died of erysipelas, complicated with
pleurisy, and was Ill but three or
four days. He was Al years Of age.
Col Mayes was the knightHest figure
In Florida Journalism. He was man
Of the Hottest ideals, built about a
character that had no stain upon It,
Once his mind was made up, he was
aggressive to marked degree; he APP
preached every duty frankly and un-
afraid: there was never any doubt as
to the position Of Colonel Mayes or
his newspaper lipon any matter which
concerned the general public. He built
The Journal upon foundation stone
Of honesty, courage and affection for
the mass Of men. He made his paper
a factor in Florida affairs. He could
have been governor of his State; he
might have gone to the United States
Senate; but he declined to heed the
alluring call of a majority of the news
papers OF his State He did not seek
important political honors in return
for his unstinted service to the public.
Although he had served his party In
honorary capacities, Coloner Mayes
was an idealist, radical. seldom hold
ing views compatible with the views
OF The Advertiser, but differences of
opinion on public matters never less
ened the warm personal friendship be-
tween Colonel Mayes and the makers
Of The Advertiser.
Colonel Mayes practically owned The
Journal which he built up to pros
porous institution, notwithstanding
he spent his last twenty cents for a
sandwich and a cup of coffee when
he went to Pensacola in 1899. He
owned an interest in The Meridian
Dispatch, and had made paying in
vestments in Pensacola. He came
from a North Dakota farm through
many trials into the very fullness of a
great and happy life.-Montgomery
