INTO BARBOUR COUNTY

Mrs. Mathis spent Friday in Flu faula, where she was the guest of MT. and Mrs. Harmon Lampley, who entertained her most delightfully."- and took her on sightseeing tours, over much of tho rich farm lands of Bar bour county. MT. Lampley is one Of the largest landowners of the county and has great part of his acreage in cultivation. In the afternoon late spoke Saturday, and thence to Brantley that afternoon.
 In Eufaula about 800 people heard Mrs. Mathis, many of them crowding the courthouse standing and sitting on the floor. A number of negroes were noted among those most interested, and many wealthy landowners list ened intently to Mrs. Mathis message
 Everywhere Mrs. Mathis was re- ceived with great enthusiasm and ev- anywhere she left new interest and hope and intentions to try the better way of farming. The land through which she passed is good farm land, Mrs. Mathis says, and is capable or great things. Much of it is cut-over pine lands and with soil building, such as she suggests, and stump pulling, it would make one of the greatest Iarm- ing sections of the state.
 There is the eternal request that sne come back and many women nave ed that she come back and devote her entire time to telling them what to do for themselves and for others. The men ask the same thing and IL IS only that the state is so large ana so many counties are calling tnat keeps Mrs. Mathis from lingering. But she goes on her way and day by day con tinues the work of saving Alabama from herself.

The Boy Scouts

A three days campaign for raising $15, 1000 to finance the activities of the Boy Scouts of America in Birming- ham and Jefferson county begins to- morrow.
 One hundred and fifty busy men, prominent in Birmingham's up- building work, are giving their time to this canvass for funds, and it is hoped the response to their appeals will be generous. The sum called for will be sufficient to meet the ex- penses of the scout movement for a period of three years.
 The Boy Scouts here now number about 200, but with ample funds the enrolment will be increased to 2000 The scouts are thoroughly organized and thoroughly trained. Character building is the keynote of scout dis cipline, and as Dr. John H. Phillips we'll remarks, Aside from the bene- fit to the boy himself, this movement will become increasingly helpful to the community. A thousand trained Boy Scouts in Birmingham, under ex- pert direction, may yet do more for

Protect the States Credit

Alabama has long enjoyed high credit and this credit should be main tained and will be maintained if the voters ratify the bond amendment at the election to be held a week from next Tuesday, January IS.
 This amendment authorizes an is suance of $1,500,0O0 of short time bonds for the purpose of paying a portion of the states floating debt. A bond issue would, therefore, create no additional debt, but would only meet, in business-like way, an en- barrassing situation.
 Governor Henderson had no part in causing present conditions. A treasury surplus of S2,000,000 in January, 1907, was consumed by ap- propriations and disbursements that outran receipts. When Governor Hen- derson came into office there was a deficit of upwards of $2,000,0O0. While his administration has been marked by rigid economy, pressing demands can only be relieved by a bond issue.

Tells of Rush in Business

"The year 1916 has started off with a rush with me- said Hubert Dren- nen. "The last four months have been much better than the corresponding
 months of last year and during the past two weeks business has inn proved steadily. I cannot see why 1916 will not be the most prosperous year in the history of the south.
 Conditions all over the country have improved greatly and I find few men who are anything but optimistic over the outlook Even if the European war should end unexpectedly, as some | predict, this country has no reason 1 for not going on in it's usual stride and continue to make big money in all ! branches of business endeavor. It is almost a certainty that the automobile ] business will be better during the cur | rent year than it has been in several l years I believe my concern will sell more cars and accessories this year than ever before and the same thing will apply to many of those who are | in the automobile business
