Practically all of the best amateur racquet per- formers in the city have entered the tourney, and a lively time Is prom ised as to who will be the holder of the title.
 Since rain interfered with the pro- grammc, the tourney will probably last until next week. The matches will be played, starting at o'clock and last ing until noon. few matches will be played in the afternoon on account of some of the boys working. The matches will be played on the Birming- ham Athletic club courts and boys will have the use of the clubs showers Drawings were held last night at the athletic club

,InuIvIr TInruJTn SON TALKS OF
 COMING MEETING
Alabama Cotton Growers to Protest Against English
 Detention of Cotton

Joseph o. Thompson. the we'll known planter of Lowndes county, was in the city yesterday arranging details for the Alabama Cotton Growers association, which will meet In Montgomery, at the house of representatives, on August 16, r and IS. for the purpose of perfecting plans for holding their cotton crops for a fair price and protesting against Eng lands embargo on cotton.
 l have been told repeatedly that Eng land Is actually buying our cotton at iidiculously low price and in turn selling 1t to her allies at an enormous profit. said MT Thompson. For years the southern planter has been at the mercy of group of New England cotton spin ners and the various manlpulations of the Wall street brokers. Now is the time to break these letters and organize for the purpose of demanding a reasonable price for the south's greatest staple. Thls years cotton crop will be much less then last years and there Is no doubt that cotton is in greater demand today in the European countries than ever before. h Austria. Russia, England, Norway, Sweden, Germany and practically all Of the countries on the other side, cotton has advanced from 100 to 300 per cent. The question is who is the one who re- ceives this golden opportunity? Surely not the southern planter. Cotton today is lower than the net price per pound for raising it.
 When England put an embargo on cotton, she practically throttled the farm CT of the south. It does not seem fair to me for this great power to say that the United States cannot send her goods to a neutral country. The meeting in Montgomery next Monday is for the pur- pose of getting together and trying to do something for the mutual benefit of the whole south There is no doubt about the meeting being a big success. All the railroads have put on a special rate to Montgomery. effective on the 14th. We believe that the bankers and merchants throughout the state will encourage us in this movement as they have done in the past. Several hundred cotton plant CTS throughout the state have pledged themselves to be present when the meet ing is called to order and a great deal of enthusiasm has been aroused over the proposed plan. The intention of the meeting in the event it is a success is to make the Alabama organization a nucleus for the eventual organization of the entire south

A Plain Statement Of Fact

PaaDiAN AC AhoOi liiS uli der a number of false impressions regard ing the Alabama Power Company. It is a matter of Record that in 1907 the Legislature of the State very wisely passed a law exempt ing from taxation for a period of ten years all plants erected to develop the water power within the State of Alabama. This measure was doubtless placed on the Statute Books of A la b a m a because the State realized the importance and vital necessity of turning the idle flow of its wonderful rivers in- to energy for build- ing a greater indust- rial center.
 In 1911 the Ala bama Power Com pany began its build- ing operations, and has expended within this State several million dollars in water power devel- Opment.
 Wherever possible this money has been spent with local peo- pie, and Alabama labor has been en- ployed in our under takings.
 The money requir- ed for this vast work was secured largely on the pledges of the State that the plants erected would not be taxed for ten years.
 We have not asked for an extension of time, or for any fa- vor of any nature from the State of Alabama other than that which we are legally entitled to under the Code of the State. If other mptions have been requested t d, they were not re- quested by the Ala bama Power Com pany or any of it's connections.
 This is a plain sta te m ent of the proposition to the public. and we be- lieve that the citizens of Alabama will Op- pose in every pos sible way the repudi- alton of the States guarantee of ex- emptiOn under the law cited above.

Pretty good showing for new coun-
ty, isn't it? And there are many other
counties that crowd the issue in the
same way. Rusk county was selected
because it is characteristic of lot of
the northern counties where there is
yeta large acreage of unoccupied land.
Had not the people of Wisconsin
ought to know more about our vacant
lands? Wouldn't it be a good invest
ment to have them informed? Would
not such information keep millions of
dollars of Wisconsin money within the
state-to say nothing of many of our
good people-who otherwise may be
attracted to other states?

[ don't know that anything needs to
be added beyond a hearty endorsement
of the correspondents protest. It's a
rafting good speaker who can hold an
audiences attention against the slow
poisoning of dead air. The nervous
twitching of legs, shutting of feet and
coughing, so common in lectures and
church services, are Natures cries for
a breath of God-given, clean, out-of-
door air.
The writer desires not to be identi-
fed. There is no danger. The bad air
conditions complained of are to be
found in every community and in prac-
tically every audience room. What is
needed is that we have more people
with the spunk to kick against smelly
air with as much vigor as is displayed
by those who have a superstitious
dread of a draught.

PADUS SCHOOL NOTES.

Mr.. Drewry the rural school inspec
tor visited our school Tuesday between
trains.
Bessie Doyle broke through the ice
while playing on the creek Monday af-
ternoon. She went into the ice water
up to her neck. We wonder what Bes-
sizes intentions were, for splashing in.
The ice was too thick for swimming
lessons and she didn't go in deep
enough for a total immersion.
The Swan and Padus schools intend
to have spelling contest in the near
future. he date will probably be
March 8. Six pupils from each side
will represent their respective schools
The pupils who will represent Padus
school are: Inez Doyle, Theresa Egrad-
er, Catherine Doyle, Russell Marsh,
Melba Fosdick and Myrtle Knutson.
Monday Feb. %, Washington's birth
day was celebrated by the Padus school
children by giving short program in
the evening. On account of the bad
weather there was not large atten-
dance.

ASSISTANCE GRATEFULLY
RECEIVED.
Health Instruction Bureau:

Health Instruction Bureau:
Dear Sirs:-
81 am taking liberty
which | hope will be as successful as
it is daring. Our little village paper
contains an article from the UNIVERSE
ty of Wisconsin Health instruction
Bureau each week, on health, of in
terest and benefit to the community in
general. believe all the rural papers
get these articles.
There is one condition which be-
lieve prevails in most small towns.
That is, poor ventilation at public
gatherings. We have lecture course
here, but the air in the hall where it is
given is usually so vile that q large
part of the benefit of the lecture is lost
1t is not fair to a speaker or preacher.
They and the audience both are at a
disadvantage. In the church which |
attend / do believe we breathe the
same air in the spring that we started
with in the fall when things were
closed up.
81 have registered a KICK. but when
the officials or those whose business it
is to look after this matter are indiffer-
ent, there is not much use for a COM
mon mortal to say anything.
Now thought if l dared to suggest
that one of these articles by the Uni
versity Heaeth instruction Bureau be
good rousing article on this very sub
ject, it might serve to open the eyes of
many and bring results. 1t certainly
would be benefit to the public.
81 do not expect an answer from you
to me personally, but if see this topic
treated in one of your articles in the
near future l shall feel that my mission
is accomplished.
yours gratefully"
