Dear Sir,

- Ss
The last American Note to Ger
many is virtually a declaration Of war, and
unless something unforeseen occurs in a few
days We shall probably hear that the United
States has entered the great contest.
Hitherto the war has affected us but little
in this island; but if the United States enters
the war we must expect that the price Of
foodetuffs will be much higher in the States
aud consequently much higher here. The
question for US is how to meet the higher
prices which viii then prevail. The only
ans Ner is by providing ourselves with our
Own provisions. Let squatters and planters
begin at once to plant corn, potatoes, vans
and tanyers in large quantities and the
situation will be met and the high cost Of
American provisions will not be so keenly
felt.
1t may be that out Of evil good may come
for St Croix, fox if we are compelled to
provide corn for our population gu industry
will be established, the benefit OF which TO
planter and people cannot be estimated.
Yours sincerely,
W. @. ".

SANFORD DEFENDS GOVERNORS ACTION ON THE COURT BILL MarengO and Lee Not With out Courts and Present Machinery Is Adequate PATRIOTIC ACT IN
 CUTTING EXPENSES Cites Measures to Show That Ample Court Facilities Are Provided
 For Every County in
 the State

William Hodge Stanford. prominent attorney on whom Governor Henderson has chiefly depended for his legal advice, in an article prepared for The Age-H Her. aid, declares that the so-cailed Judiciary muddle' is no muddle at all, and that the chief executive should be commended for his action in vetoing the recircuiting bill.
 / The statement of MT. Sanford is re- garded as important in view of the fact that 1t is probable that Governor Hen- derson arrived at his conclusion to veto the recircuitlng bill after having con- suited and accepted the opinion of MT. Sanford MT. Sanford is of the opinion that the legal business of the state, de- spite the veto of the governor, can be conducted efficiently and expeditously. and that the governor in vetoing the re- circuiting bill, and having thereby an an- nual expenditure of between S40,o00 and Soooo0 per annum, simply fulfilled an- other of his prediction pledges.
 MT. Sanford denies the generally circu- lated report that Marengo and Lee coun- ties, as a result of the governors veto, will be without courts. He writes as fol- lows.

 AT FAIR ARE VALUED
 AT HALF A MILLION
Four Large Buildings and a Tent Required to Accom- modate Herds That Are
 Being Shown

The cattle exhibit at the Alabama State Fair this year is the greatest in point of numbers and quality Of stock that has ever been held in the south. the stock representing a value of over half million dollars. During the pre- vious years only one building was re- quired to accommodate the cattle but this year it requires four large build ings and tent to take care of the numerous herds. Four hundred head of cattle are on exhibit, including herds from Alabama. Mississippi. Georgia. Tennessee Indiana. Louisiana, Ken lucky. Illinois and other states. 1t is the biggest display and represents moro capital than any cattle exhibit that has ever been held in the south.
 Superintendent W. E. Mathews states one of the most interesting features of the fair is the great increase in the cattle exhibit and it is attributable in a measure, he thinks. to the great de- velopment of the live stock industry in the south. Practically all of the cattle for the fair have arrived and are in their place and the judging will take place tomorrow and the prizes will be awarded immediately.
 Among the many herds at the fair is that of w. J. Davis & Co of Jack son, Miss, with 20 head in the herd and each one a prize winner. Point Comfort "" International grand champion, having been awarded this honor at the international live stock show in Chicago in 1913 Is included in the exhibit

 The exhibit of the dairy cattle is one of the finest at the fair and oc- cupies one entire building and a num- Der of other stalls and has been high 1y praised. The Bates herd of Ham, bury which is composed of 40 head of Jerseys is one of the finest on ex- hibit. The Bates herd has been at the fair number of years and has also taken several prizes at international shows.
 Cobb & Derby of York have herd of 20 head of Shorthorns, which is one of the finest exhibits at the fair. An- other interesting display of dairy cat tie is the herd of Mrs. Harry H. Gal brath of the Island Home farm of Knoxville. Tenn. Fifty fine Jersey cows are included in the exhibit.
