Thanksgiving.

I'd like to spend Thanksgiving
DAY back home--back on the farm
where every homely object holds
the old familiar charm; I'd like
to see the old red barn, meath
whose projecting roof, bedrag-
gled farmyard gentry oft from
drenching held aloof; where in
the dim light of the NOW, amid
the fragrant hay, with pigeons
croonin' in the caves, a boy, |
used to play.
Ter see The windmill once e.
gain, and hea. it's ghosGly c&}ac's,
would ease my heart and snetJ;n'
bring the dear, fond memories
back.
I'd like to sec the patient kline
awaitin' the hired man, an Dip
pin muegy noses in the pals Of
moistenad bran.
I'd like to see the well-fed cats
that used to haunt the place. an
have the ever friendly dog yearn
up into my face; I'd like to take
the old flint lock, and so out art

smells of mince and punkin pies,

Points Out That Alabama Owes the Money and It Is Duty to Pay It in Busi- ness-Like Way
By l.. S. BETTY

Montgomery, November 20.-(Special) ) That the issuance of S1,5OO,0O0 of short- time bonds will not be the creation of a new debt or obligation of the state, but will be used for the purpose of paying soldiers and the maintenance of the elee- mosynary and other institutions of Ala bama, is the positive declaration of Gov ernor Henderson, in complete and com prehensive statement which he issued to- day on the states financial condition.
 This is in no sense a partisan ques- tion nor should the personal element of any man in public life enter into it.

thrown around the issuance of these bonds, the sale and disposition being un- der the supervision of the governor, the auditor and state treasurer, and the pro- ceeds of the bonds must be used for this purpose and this purpose alone.
 therefore urge upon the voters of this state, without reference to party affilia- ton or factional differences, that they will consider this question from 9 busi- ress standpoint-honestly. frankly and pa- triotfcally, and that they will express their wish at the polls, giving their con sent to this measure.

REDUCTION IN EXPENSES

One of the most interesting statements made by the governor in discussing the states financial condition, is that the expenses of operating the state govern ment during October, 1915, were $44, 3S less than the expenses for October, 1914.
 Should the above figures be main- tained throughout the year, it would equal a reduction of expenses of more than $50O,000 per annum,'' declares the governor I've could hardly hope to maintain this ratio throughout the year, however, on account of the fixed ap- propriations, but the fact that it has been done for the past month lends encour- agement for the future"
 Continuing he says: If, however, this ratio could be maintained and the ex- penses were reduced $5O0,000 per annum, assuming that the revenues would re- main the same as for the fiscal year 1914, the revenues would then exceed the expenses approximately $150,000 year, because, prior to this fiscal year, the expenditures have exceeded the revenues from s3oO,oO0 to $400,00O a year" The governor then points out that "at this ratio it would require 15 years to liquiGate the deficit, and this was the result contemplated when I recommended the issuance of $1,5000o0 of short-time bonds"
 In conclusion the governor urges every voter in the state, without reference to party utilization or factional differences.' to consider the question from business standpoint. and to give their consent to the measure at the polls.
 Governor Henderson's statement in full | is as follows:
 To the People of Alabama. | In presenting to you the question | as to whether you will adopt an amend ment to the constitution authorizing the issuance of $1,500,000 of short time bonds for the purpose of arranging and properly handling the present floating indebtedness of the state I feel it my duty to put you in possession of the | facts connected with the present finan- l cial condition of your state so that you may act intelligently as well as patriotically on the question submit ted to you.

ON THRESHOLD OF NEW EPOCH

I do not think that this is the proper
 time for a large increase in the rev
 enues to be taken in taxes from the people. becouse, as state we are upon
 the threshold of a new epoch. The
 depression that began year ago has not been obliterated nor have the bur- dens of the high cost of living been lifted from the shoulders of our peo- pie. While the price of our principal money crop has materially advanced over that of a year ago, there Is an- other cause of depression in the arrival of the boil weevil, covering as 1t now does seven-ei eighths of the counties of the state and probably before another 12 months will be in every cotton grow ing county in Alabama.
 From the experience of sections where this pest has heretofore made it's appearance, 1t will be necessary Tor our farmers and agriculturists to adopt | new methods on account of the extra expense and trouble placed upon the cultivation of cotton. and the necessity l of reduction in the amount Of cotton to be planted by them.
 l A year ago the propaganda of diversi- | fcation was carried on throughout the state and was productive of great good. But we cannot say that success has ocme along this line with one years ef- forts, or that the people have adapted | themselves to the change made neces- sary by the changed conditions.
 | The time is entirely too short to judge of the future, and comparatively few
 counties of the state have even approx imately met the depression caused by the advent of the boil weevil During | this transitional period, the changing
 of our methods on the farm and the

RELIEF FROM EMBARRASSMENT

These are the simple reasons that have impelled me as your governor, to ask the people of the state to permit the is- suance of $1, 500, 600 of the short-term bonds of the state for the purpose of arranging an indebtedness already created, in such way as tc relieve you and your servants from embarrassment which naturally con- fronts us when we are unable to meet our obligations.
 It does not increase the permanent in- debtedness of the state. Under the act authorizing these bonds. they are payable one-tenth Of the principal and interest each year for 10 years, beginning with the year 1920, and 1880 the entire deficit will be completely wiped out without any increased burdens upon the taxpayers
 All of the safeguards possible have been

declares the governor in speaking of the
 proposed bond issue. "It matters not to
 us by whom this debt was contracted.
 It is a debt owing by the state, and our good name, as well as our financial
 standing, requires us to meet it in the most business-like way
 In discussing the financial condition of the state, the governor maxes some inter- esting disclosures. The condition of the treasury on September 30 last shows a
 deficit of s2,2S6,SS an amount much
 in excess of the indebtedness of the pre- ceding year. However, the governor points out that the large excess is ac- counted for by the fact that large amounts of contingent appropriations were released prior to the beginning of his administration, together with the ex- traordinary expenses of the legislature, all of which served to swell the states deficit for the fiscal year ending Sep tember 30 last

bonds will not be the creation of a new debt or obligation of the state. If 1t were so I would oppose it myself.
 But it is for the purpose of arranging a present indebtedness, already con tracted before the beginning of this administration, in such way and man. ner as to relieve the state from em- barrassment in paying the expenses of the public schools, the old soldiers, the feeding of prisoners and the mainten- ance of the eleemosynary and other in- stitutions dependent upon the state trea sl1rV for their SupnOrt.

HAVE YOU PUT IN
YOUR COAL YET?

During a recent conversation with
the local coal dealer Frank II. Walker,
we were surprised when we were told
that in spite Of the somewhat open
winter Of last year that 10 carloads or
nearly 500 tons more Of coal had been
sold this summer than in any other
summer previous TO this.
This has shown wisdom on the part
Of the purchasers for Mr.. Walker is Of
the opinion, based upon reports from
coal producers, that coal will be very
scarce, in fact he is getting very little
for storage purposes at present.
The basis upon which the coal deal
ers predict a shortage is the fact that
the working agreement entered into
by the miners expires in 1916. A par
agraph from a letter from a promin-
emit coal concern is herewith appended
which speaks for itself:
"The present working agreement
between the miners and operators ex-
