State Fertilizer Tags
Ready for Distribution

Montgomery. September 22.-(Special)
Alabamas supply of fertilizer tags for
the year 1916-17 was received this morn
ing and the distribution will begin Oc-
tober l. The lot comprises one carload,
containing 100000 tags in denominations
of three and IL cents 1t is expected
that the entire 100000 will be used dur
ing the fiscal year and if this forecast
proves true, the volume of fertilizer en-
ployed in Alabama during the next year
will greatly exceed that of the fiscal
year which is just closing.
During the past year little more than
100000 tags were used. Dealers and
merchants having tags on hand which
were not used will be allowed to ex-
change them for the new years tags
and during the months of October and
November the department of agriculture
will make these exchanges. However,
this applies only to the 1915-16 tags. and
not to unused tags of former years
The shipment was received from a
Philadelphia concern which obtained the
contract during the early summer.

MAY Carry Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, September 22.-Leaders
of the democratic national campaign
believe that Pennsylvania is debatable
and that there is a chance to secure
the electoral votes of the state for
President Wilson. according to Vance
C. Mccormick, the national chairman,
and A. Mitchell Palmer, national COM
mitteeman from Pennsylvania, who con-
ferred here today with prominent dem
ocrats from all sections of the state.
The larger number of railroad en-
ployes and others who favor the eight
hour law passed by Congress are
among the reasons given for belief in a
democratic prospect.

F. Park and John o. Cummins have COM
pleted their labors and the figures show
that the value of Tuscaloosa county's as

be due largely to enhanced values

THE report of the survey commit
teen will contain approximately $780,
900 Words said DR.. R. j. Leonard,
head of the local industrial survey,
which has completed its field work,
and is now compiling the reports.
THE report will be the most COM
prehensive study of industrial condi-
tions of any city in the United States,
not excepting the survey of Cleveland
and several of the larger cities"
DR.. Leonard said that the recon-
mendations that were made by the
general committee when. it adjourned
last Saturday will not result in any
radical changes in the schools of Rich
mond. 1t will only mean the extern
sion of several of the departments now
included in the schools curricula, with
especial emphasis on night work and
extension classes. The details of the
recommendations will be announced
later this week, he said
"The recommendations which have
resulted from the investigation will
be found to be general in application, .
said DR. Leonard Conditions in
Richmond, in most industries, are typ
fcal of every American city. Several
industries, such as the piano manu-
facture, wire fence industry, automo-
bile industry, dry cleaning industry
and several others have never been
investigated as thoroughly as they
have here"

ASQUITH'S BELFAST
JOURNEY FORECASTS
CHANGE IN POLICY

LONDON, Eng, May 15.-Premier
Asquith's visit to Belfast today created
considerable interest in London. Two
possibilities of future action relative
to Ireland were contained in the Pre-
mier's trip. One related to compro-
mise on home rule and a new scheme
of government for Ireland on coalit-
ion basis, the other to the complete
disarmament of all factions in. Ireland.
1t is indicated that whatever is done
will be carried out solely on the re-
sponsibility of the British government
for the leaders Of the two main fac
tons in Ireland, John Redmond, of the
Nationalist, and Sir Edward Carson,
of the Ulster unionists, are both in
London, and consequently have no
part in any negotiations that the Pre-
mier is carrying on.
1t is understood that the nationalists
would make no objections to giving up
their arms if the ulster unionists are
disarmed. .e .-.-..

Today's session was taken up with
preliminary legal skirmishes, and eff

Orpet's attorneys admitted they have
but one object and that is to get jury
composed as largely as possible of
men who oppose capital punishment.
Court Room Crowded.
The little courtroom was crowded
today. The parents Of the girl, their
months of grief plainly visible in
their faces, sat on one side of the court
room. On the other sat young Orpet's
father and mother, scarcely less grief
stricken, but hopeful. School friends of
Marian and of young Orpet, many of
them witnesses, and the curious folk
for miles around made up the balance.
Orpet, since his confinement, has
spent his time reading. Huge volumes
