 Waiting on Legislature
 ''At the present time despite the urg- folly to announce myself as a candidate when it is not within the purview of the average voter or even the wisest of the so-caled politicians to know what the legislature is going to serve to Mam-zele Birmingham It is possible that we may have the five-commissione plan, or the present three-commissioner plan may be allowed to remain in vogue. and again the statesmen at Montgomery may pro- At all hazards one cannot make an ac- curate forecast of what will he provided to the local voters and therefore I pre- fer to walt and know what I am run ming for when I announce and throw my chapeau In the ring
 However do not mind making tho statement that If something definite Is enacted at Montgomery in regard to the Birmingham city election that 1t Is quite possible that I will become a candidate in whatever kind of race the legislature provides.

Would Be Strong Candidate

In regard to Postmaster Aldrich there Is much speculation as to the effect of his entrance in the commissioners race. It Is generally conceded, however, by persons familiar with the present political con- ditions in the city that Colonel Aldrich with his record as postmaster. in which his work was directly before the eyes of the people. would be a strong candi- date.
 Colonel Aldrich Is one of the leading republicans in the state. but 1t is averred that as the commission bill provides a nonpartisan election the local postmaster would be on even terms with hts demo- cratic opponents. The ability to handle the job of running the city on the meagre funds at hand will count more In the voters eyes. 1t is said. then whether a candidate is of republican or of demo- cratic persuasion.

An Arkansan in Texas.

TO ali my old Boone County
Friends:
will give you a little sketch
about Dickens County, Texas, and
also tell something Of my experience
Dickens county IS located in north.
west Texas just below the cap rock
of the high plains. The land of the
county lies generally in broad valleys
and gently sloping ridges with long
stretches Of level land on them.
Above 80 per cent OF the land OF
the county rs tillable, the soil rang
! ing from black loan to sandy, with
all the variations in between.
Cotton is the money crop Of this
county and the people claim it has
never been total failure since the
first cotton was planted here; the
yield varies from one quarter to one
third Of a bale per acre in dry years
and from three quarters to over one
and one half bale in the best.
Besides cotton we raise maize,
kahr corn, sorghum, wheat, oats,
mlllet, June corn, potatoes, peanuts
and every variety of the melon
family
We are a iittlc short on vegetables
but can grow onions, tomatoes,
beans etc. in good years,
The rainfall rs shown by official
records Of the L, 5, Weather Bureau
is an annual average Of 81 l,30 inches.
My experience in farming here was
not SO good last year but made
plenty of feed to do me and some to
sell, also twenty bales Of cotton on
20 acres, This year myself and
boys have in l3O acres, ninety in
cotton and 30 in feed stuff The
feed is worth now on the market
$50 per acre. We have out now ~
bales Of cotton and have 10 or IL
yet to pick We made this crop
without hiring any work done until
we began picking the cotton,
llcotton had been any price this
year would have been well pleased
with this years work out here and
more than content with the change.

HE GETS MONEY ON FORGED
CHECKS
Young Man from Alabama Plays a
Sharp Game and Gets Away,

a young man giving his name as
Fred Henderson, and his address as
Troy, Alabama, engaged board
some three weeks ago with W. !.
Hall, of Bellefonte, He claimed to
have come into the country for the
purpose of obtaining employment,
and intimated that he had work en-
gagged at the Ozark Fruit Farm near
Bcllefonte as soon as the weather
permitted. This was in the last
part of December He seemed very
atiablc and there was nothing in his
manner to indicate that he was in
the habit Of Jumping board bills or
forging checks.
However, having had nothing but
the agreeable companionship and
promises of the delayed money from
home, after a couple of weeks Mr..
Hall suggested that inasmuch as the
stranger sought work he set in and
work for him.
To this Henderson asscntcd, at
the same time saying he needed a
pair of overalls and would 90 to
work as soon as he could repair to
one Of the stores and get them. Ei-
