Selma Court Only One
Affected by Decision

Montgomery, November 15.-(Special.)
Only the Selma inferior court fell when
the supreme court and court of appeals
Tuesday afternoon declared the bill Great
ing it to be unconstitutional, and the gem
eral court system created by the legisia-
ture last year was a part of the general
court bill and an investigation by the
Montgomery bureau of The Age-Herald
showed conclusively that conditions pecu-
liar to the Selma court bill caused its
downfall.
Although members of the supreme court
and court of appeals could not agree
as to all points which caused the in
validity of the law, one conclusion and
the major one was that the bill creating
the Selma inferior court In lieu of all
justices of the peace in Precinct 36 of
Dallas attempted to give the inferior
court greater jurisdiction than that of a
justice of the peace, although section
1sS of the constitution expressly provides
that the legislature may Greater inferior
courts in lieu of justice of the peace in
cities of more than 1900 population, but
the courts jurisdiction must be the same
as justices of the peace.
The bill was local one and was passed
to meet peculiar conditions in Dallas
county. For that reason no other sec
ton of the state or other bill passed last
year will be affected.

Selma Orphanage Report
Creates Sensation in the
Baptist State Convention

Mobile, November 15.-(Special.) -Edu-
cational work, state and foreign missions,
were three subjects debated today at the
Alabama Baptist convention. The session
lasted until nearly midnight.
The report on the Baptist orphanage
at Selma created a sensation. This report
said: "Irreconcilable differences having
developed in the board of trustees of
the orphanage and since several of the
trustees have rendered their designations,
we recommend that their places be de
clared vacant and that the committee on
nominations recommend their successors. "
The report was approved and the num-
Der of trustees was raised to Is, including
five women members.

ENTIRE EAST is IN
GRASP OF COLD WAVE
Indications Are That Weather Will
Continue for Another 4S Hours
at Least, Says Washington

Washington, November 15.-Cold wealth
er from the Rocky mountains spread
eastward and southwark tonight, freezing
temperatures being recorded in nearly all
states. Snow appeared in all New Eng
land. New York, around the great lakes
and in Tennessee and sleet was seen IN
northern Louisiana.
Cold wave warnings issued tonight in
cluded all the south Atlantic states eS-
cept south and central Florida. Heavy
rains preceded closely the cold wave along
the Atlantic coast.
Temperatures in the west were much
milder tonight. The thermometer rose
40 degrees today in Wyoming, the coolest
state in the union last night, with a
temperature of 26 below zero at Lander
Weather bureau forecasters predict that

EUFAULA

Eufaula, November 15.-(Special.) Bar
bour is rapidly forging ahead as one
of the biggest lumber producing counties
in the state. During the past few
months several mills of large capacity
have begun operation, and still others
are contemplated. Lumber Of all kinds
is being turned out-staves, crossties,
bridge timbers and lumber of smaller
dimensions, too. One of the companies
most lately organized consists Of ]. r.
Barr. L. ]. Britt and James Britt, all
of Eufaula, who will operate a big saw
mill south of the city and a planning mill
in town also. Much of the timber being
cut is for export and is being shipped
direct to seaport for delivery in Eu-
rope. In the swamps in the lower end
of the county, the stage cutting industry
has grown to large dimensions.
Those who made rash election bets on
election night when the returns seemed
to indicate the election of Hughes are
now paying them up, since the question
of President Wilson's reelection has be-
come settled. One Wilson man bought
a new hat for his Hughes bettor last
Wednesday morning, and now the latter
has done the same, so they both have
new hats.
Barbour county farmers who are plan
ming extensive improvements on their
places to accommodate them to the new
methods of farming demanded by the ad-
vent of the boil weevil, are anxiously
awaiting the establishment of the farm
loan banks. Different parts of the coun-
ty are already preparing to organize
farm loan associations to secure the
cheap money under the provisions of the
rural credits act. Associations will
likely be established at Eufaula. Clayton,
Louisville and Clio. 1t is probable also
that an association will be organized in
Quitman county, Ga, just across the
river. The demands for money will be
heavy not only to make needed improve
ments but to pay up old mortgages with
interest running from to 10 per cent a
year.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT ON
SUGAR CANE.

Under date of September 8th, the j. S.
G lyernmoGt Crop Report indicated the con
dition of the sugar cane crop of Louisiana as
SO, compared with q ten year average OF 81
per cent. For all the cane grown in the
United States, which includes some In the
other gulf states, the estimate Of it's eoudi.
tion on September 1st was 92.5 per cent,
compared with 81 ~ten-vear AVERAGE ct as per
cent.
These figures indicate the generally good
condition 81 tAc cane cS3r z Lou;3.:&~ ard
we shall hope that these anticipations will be
entirely borne Out. On the other hand, it
il must be remembered that these are the
conditions OF the growing sugar crop and
not OF the quantity of sugar cane to be made
into sugar. The three years time given the
Louisiana sugar industry to l~iquidate under
the terms of the Underwood bill was to ex-
pire on May LIST, 1916, and thus led to q
practical paralysis of the sugar industry
throughout the whole state of Louisiana and
only the most favored sections have III any
more favored sections, favored III the Wy of
80, li.nIaso 900 s"Uol UUnalS.Uno, tno vvAIr
tons may be as above the total yield Oi the
Louisiana cane crop is going to be far less
than some of our sangulne people expect.
