FARMERS PROSPEROUS

This section of the state has right to advance their claims for state high ways, for it is doubtful if any other sec- tioi- in Alabama is in a more prosper ous condition. The farms all through south Alabama are flourishing, despite the fact that they have been the heav- rest sufferers from the infestion of the boil weevil As a means of overcoming the disastrous effects of the boil weevl the planters ill south Alabama have talk en up diverncation. Instead of large fields of cotton, one now observes corn, oats. velvet heans, and other farm prod ucts. In Monroe and Edwin counties the percentage Of cotton planted has fal- len of more than one-half. Yet Nthe farmers are more prosperous than they have been in years. On the whole, this is a wclderfu. section. Farming is con- ducted along scientific lines, and results are being accomplished that were not dreamed of years ago, and with the ad- vent of a wider vision with reference to their agricultural possibilities the cit izens of this section are turning their thcuGhts to other attainments, better schools, better roads, better homes. and a more public spirited citizenship are in- sr,iriug thair andeayOrs

OPPOSE AMENDMENT

In the Princess theatre an assembly called by the National American Wom- an Suffrage association, went on rec ord as opposed to campaign for an amendment to the federal constitution providing for woman suffrage and cheered statement by Mrs. Carrie l Chapman Catt, who presided, that suf- frage should be sought by women wherever "an open door could be l found"
 | Mrs. Catt said: "The surrender to 1 suffrage, if I am a prophet, will come within the next two years. I prophecy 1 that the vote will come to us, as it did ! to the men in this country, like the
 sudden result of battle
 | Common sense and diplomacy direct 1 us to adopt plank on which we can | all agree, to an indorsement of the cause for which we are all at work. | They who are asking for a federal amendment are asking for half loaf. We are asking for whole loaf" l Opposition to the Susan B. Anthony amendment was expressed by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw and others and early in
 the session a resolution to be presented | to the resolutions committee of the Col l iseum convention asking for plank l favoring woman suffrage was adopted. l The afternoon session of the women s party convention was devoted to adopt l ing a platform, the election of a cam paign committee, and the adoption of a report on resolutions which will be sent | to Washington.
 | The tenor of the meeting was contained l in one clause of the resolutions which expressed the intention of the women s party to hold responsible "any party | which refuses to do justice to women l by placing them on plane of equality l with men in the constitution of the United States" The resolutions were as fol-

FEATURE OF DAY


 | 4 o'clock this afternoon FEATURE OF DAY | The feature of the days trip was the visit of the highway officials to Uriah the large estate of J. U. Blackseer millionaire 1umberman and planter of Monroe and Baldwin counties, and the | trip to historic Fort Mms, in Baldwin county. At both of these places the highway scouts were the guests of MT. Blacksheer, who is one of the most enthusiastic good roads advocates and public spirited men in this part of the state.
 l At Fort Mims, the highway officials re- ceived a welcome in keeping with the customs and reputation of the old south. On those historic grounds where Weath- 1 erford and his Indian braves, 100 years ago, massacred more than 800 men, women and children, hundreds of prominent citi- zens of Baldwin county had assembled | to greet the visitors and to bid them welcome. Dinner was served on the grounds.
 l A feature of the meeting at Fort Mms was the welcome address. of Charles 1 Dresback, a descendant of Weatherford, a veteran of the Confederate army, and one of the most distinguished men of this part of the state. On behalf of the high way scouts, addresses were made by President Richard w. Massey of the For est Highway association and State High way Engineer w. S. Keller. l Among those who welcomed the party, in addition to MT. Dresback, were: Brown | Bryant, Frank Earle, Dr. J. H. Nasty of Stockton, George Bryant Capt. c. P. l Tompkins, J. S. Lambert, county superin- tendent of education, and others.
 ADVOCATES IN PLENTY 1 Good roads advocates were found all ] long the proposed route of the highway from Montgomery to Bay Minette, this correspondent has not found in any sec- tion of Alabama greater interest in road work than is in this section of the state. As proof of the interest in highway con- struction, Monroe county has let a con | tract for the construction of a road run ming the entire length of the county, north and south, distance of 80 miles, This road will cost considerably over $10O,00O.
 l In Baldwin county the proposed road will extend distance of nearly 100 miles. The county recently voted bond issue of S26e,000 for the construction of this road, and the construction work has all read, begun. Within the next six or eight months the entire road between Monroe and Mobile counties will be com | Ileted, it is declared.

THE PAPER FOR
THE BUSY MAN
Philadelphia Record Gives
News In Concise And
Attractive Form

The average man has less than
an hour to devote to newspaper
reading on weekdays. The daily
issue of "The Philadelphia Re-
cord therefore gives him the
news in concise and attractive
form, so arranged that he can
grasp the essentials of the days
history of the world without a
moments loss of time and find
any particular item under it's ap-
propri tie classification, Just
where he is accustomed to look
for it. Sunday, however, is a day
of leisure. The Sunday news
paper reader has time for mental
recreation, and demands it. The
Sunday issue of "The Philadel-
phia Record" gives it to him.
copiously, and yet with the dis
elimination that marks the diff
ference between first-class and
indifferent Sunday reading.
THE Sunday Record" has lust
added to its already abundant in
formative and entertaining fea-
lures new eight-page story sec
ton which is bound to appeal
strongly to popular interest. This
section, devoted wholly to the
presentation of high-grade fiction,
contains serials and short stor-
les by writer's of established rep-
utatlon whose works are in great
demand when published in book
form. Their contributions to the
story section of "The Sunday Re-
cord are a valuable addition to
the current fiction of the day,
and are certain to be appreciated
IN every home to which that
newspaper will carry them.
Good fiction appeals to the
whole family-and there are
scores of other features in "The
Sunday Record" that help to &C
count for it's eager reception in
cultivated homes. It's DEPART
ments devoted to sports, fashions,
domestic science, society, music
and the drama, invention, art, the
school and the nursery, set the
a n d I'd in their respective
helds. It's varied appeals to the
serious and the humorous side of
life interest young and old of
both sexes. The addition of it's
new story section makes "The
Philadelphia Record" a complete
Sunday newspaper.
