A TTORNEY GENERAL
A SKED TO SOL We A
ROMANCE PROBLEM

IT am a man of good social, financial
and moral standing in this place. me
girl of my choice and who has chosen
me and sworn to love me all her life is
in your state. She is 10 years old and
welt educated. Her parents have chosen
the man whom they say she should mar
ry. They forbade her having anything
to do with me. She is grieving herself
to death about it. Can't I go and de-
wants me to? What would you adviser
We are we'll acquainted. Can her father
do anything if I go to his place and
request an interview with the girl? He
has made the vow that would never
get her.
1T seems to me that the choice OF
mates is the sole privilege Of the con-
tracing parties. II knew anyone whom
could trust in her city I could fix 1t
Just fine. But 1 know no one there, but
her. Would it be necessary for me to
bring proof of my standing? I surely
can. We love each other and are per-
fectly suited for each other morally
physically and spiritually-the same
tastes, aspirations and hopes.
May l hear from you at the earliest
possible convenience"
Assistant Attorney General Perry w.
Turner answered the inquired. This is
what he said:
At beg to advise that a girl must be IL
years of age before she can contract
marriage in this state without the consent
of her parents.
Further answering your letter, / would
say that you would be trespasser Il
you went upon the premises Of the girls
father and sought an interview with her,
after he had warned you to stay away.

Montgomery. August 30.-(Special)-A
heart-broken lover from far away state
has written the attorney general seek
ing a mode by which he can obtain the
hand of a fair young woman in this
state. The young lady, he declares Is
madly in love with him and wishes to
become his wife, but her parents have
forbade the marriage and wish her to
wed another for whom she cares moth
ing. She Is 10 years old, he writes, and
he wishes to know If he cannot press his
suit and make her his wife under the
Alabama laws, despite the objections OF
the parents Such other advice as the
attorney general is willing to offer he
eagerly invites, for he declares that life
would be unbearable without her.
The attorney generals department is
not in the habit of solving problems Of
romance. and, in reply, has advised the
young man purely as to the marriage
statutes in this state, informing him also
that If he trespasses on the property of
the girls father after warning. he would
Infringe on an Alabama statute.
The letter was received today by the
department and comes from a city of
South Dakota. The young man gives
Lis name IN full and pours OFT his heart
to the attorney general, always conceal
ing the name of the pretty dame he lis
trying to win. Here is what he says;
will you please give me = little in
formation regarding the meYriasse laws Of
Alabama? What is the age a girl may

of scattering Wall street and cotton

vousness over the railroad situation
was considered partly responsible for
the early selling. but trade interests
were reported moderate buyers on the

Charles Fairchild & Co.'S Letter

New York. August Especial )-Liv-
erpools higher market this morning met
with no response in New York. October
showed an advance of l point on the
opening call. the balance of the market
recorded declines ranging from 9 to u
points.
AS we have pointed out for the last
week or 10 days, October is the month
likely to be most in demand with or
without a railroad strike. Many mill
treasurers would be glad to take up Oc-
tober at prevailing prices. It's cheaper
proposition than spot cotton in the south.
The cotton produced this year in many
sections of the belt is likely to be in
ferior in quality. 1t is doubtful If ship
pers will try to divert any considerable
volume of cotton to this market for de-
livery on October It's an expensive
move and reflections might make the ven
ture costly.
The market today was cratic. which

Sugar Market

New York. August 30.-The local
market for raw sugar was easier again

mand for refined. There were sales of

refiner at 35s G, cost and freight. but
at this level refiners seemed more in

quotations were 35sc for Cubas cost

trifugal, and 3.S7c for molasses.
No Improvement was noted in the
demand for graduated either for do
nestle or export account, and prices
remained unchanged at 7@7.25c for

it was not surprising that buyers
should hold off.
Futures were irregular and after
showing declines of II to 21 points
for the active positions under con-
tinued selling by Cuban interests prices
rallied quite sharply on active cover
ing by shorts and some support from
trade interests. prompted by the stead

Mast and Preparedness
From Cartoons Magazine
Many of Thomas Nasts cartoons,
drawn for Harper's Weekly during the
'70s, are as appropriate today as they
were then. Congress than, as now, was
obstructing the federal army and navy
programme, and Mast welded his pencil
with telling effect. In one cartoon a grim
ming skull, rusting bayonet, and dis
carded cartridge belt symbolic the re-
mains of our army and navy. In an
other, the skeleton army" interned
within a stockade. grimly confides to
Uncle Sam that it reminds me of An
Jacksonville" A skeleton, armed with a
gun. but dragging bundles of red tape.
'still had some backbone" and our
standing army, according to Mast,
stood despit false economy and the
pork barrel. Mast would have found
plenty of material for satire in our skel-
eton standing army of today.

Avery's Letter

Liverpool came considerably higher
than due on futures again this morn
ing but lost most of the advance on the
close. Spots were only points higher
with 500 sales Cables state the Eng
lish market is being affected by ru-
mors of the government fixing price
for cotton in that country. Our mar
ket ignored the fluctuations in Liver
pool and opened only few points
above yesterdays close. There was
some realizing which causes a decline
of 1 or IL points, after which changes
were unimportant The market was
nervous, however, and the trade gen
orally seemed inclined to even up until
after the report is out of the way.
Further reports from private sources
were in line with other guesses from
So to 65. All these outside figures were
Is or points higher than the govern
ment last month, and should the Of
fetal figures confirm the deterioration
news bureaus and crop experts it would
place the condition around ~.
Guesses on the cotton exchanges are
from SO to IS.
Should the report show conditions
better than expected it is very likely
values will decline sharply, while on
the other hand should it prove as bad
or worse than indicated, higher prices
seem assured.
Fluctuations will be violent and the
market will probably respond quickly
to pressure on either side until the
figures have been digested and the
trade realize what the condition fig
ures really mean. and I advise waiting
until the excitement is all over be-
fore making new commitments

BUSINESS IS BRISK
ON MORRIS AVENUE
Corporations and Retail
Dealers Start Run on Local
Wholesale Market

Yesterday recorded one of the busiest
days in point of business in many
months on Morris avenue. The local
wholesale market is alive in every
sense of the word. orders are coming
in at a rate that makes immediate ex-
ecution impossible, and while dealers
report that they are in a position to
take care of the trade for three weeks.
some articles are already showing a
scarcity.
Several corporations and practically
all retail dealers made a run on the
avenue yesterday, buying as much as
the wholesalers would sell. Dealers in
general are opposed to the attempt of
certain corporations and spectators
grabbing up so much provisions, but
cannot refuse the orders. They claim
that there is no need of fear for pro-
visions in case a strike comes, as the
supply in Birmingham now is sufficient
to last 80 days or more.
Price conditions remained steady
with a tendency toward firm yester-
day, and the probability of a strike has
not materially affected prices yet.
