COL. OUSLEY ON
COTTON SITUATION
Masterful Presentation OF This Vital
Issue at Farmers Dinner. Sat.
urday. Jan. IS.

Few men now living win ever hear
a greater speech on any subject than
! that delivered by Clarence ousley to
the farmers and business men at their
banquet last Saturday.
The speech showed that he was as
familiar with his subject as a bright
school boy generally is with the mul.
tiplication table. lie spoke OF the diff
ferent nations Of the earth and their
Relationship to the uses and consump
ton OF cotton and had the actual fig.
ures so at his fingers ends that Il
was plain there was not single
phase OF the whole subject that he
had not mastered. He started out by
saying that the South's greatest mon.
ey crop is cotton. and that TO raise II
in connection with other crops that
furnish the actual necessities OF life
would make the South the richest
country on the earth, but to depend
on II for our supplies and almost
everything else had made slaves OF
US all.
For fifty years we have tried TO
raise II 90 the almost exclusion OF all
other crops and we are today the mos,
impoverished people In the United
States. and II we continue TO raise II
in the same way We will remain as
we are now. and the chances are We
will become poorer.
The time was. he continued. when
men could reasonably hope that some
day. because OF the fact that the
South had a monopoly OF cotton pro
duction. They could be able TO con.
troll the sale. as well as the price OF
cotton. but that time has now passed.
from the fact the South no longer has
a monopoly OF cotton production. That
she now produces only tw-thirds Of
the worlds crop. and that we cannot
hope suspend the law OF supply and
demand. and while we might console
ourselves with the thought that the
worlds consumption OF cotton is in
creaslng. We must at the same time
be reminded OF the fact that the sup.
ply Is increasing. for the reason that
the area on which cotton can be
grown is being widened.
lie showed that We started In to the
season last year with four and three
quarter millions OF bales surplus cot.
ton from the crop OF 1914. and that
from the blockaded condition OF trans
portation through the influences o.
the war and from the failure OF the
warning countries Of the Eastern
world 10 consume their usual amount

COURT MATTERS QUIET.

As evidence Of the quiet and perfses
order In Bryan for the past week.
Justice Of the Peace L. d. MCGEE. Jus
tice OF this precinct reports that hs
had no complaints filed in his Office

OF cotton that we now have on hand
something less than 10000 bales
OF American cotton. which Is about
the total amount OF the 1915 crop.
and with two million bales coming
from other cotton producing countries
to supplement this American surplus.
we are sure to go into the opening OF
the 1916 season with another surplus.
England Is sure TO encourage an In.
crease OF cotton acreage In Egypt and
India. and should we in the face OF
all this 90 ahead and increase our
acreage? As soon as the buyers and
spinners ascertain that those are facts
the price OF cotton viii be forced
down. and the probability Is that we
will be compelled to sell the coming
crop at q price below the cost OF pro
duction.
He showed by figures and facts that
a bumper crop always brought many
millions Of dollars less than a short
crop: that the 10000. 0O0-bale crop OF
1915 brought many million dollars
more than the 5000. OOO-bsls crop of
1914. He showed that In every coun-
try where diversified crops are grown
the people Of that country are a great
deal more prosperous than in a coun.
try where the one-crop system is fol.
lowed. To illustrate this fact he used
Germany. stating that Germany, with
territory less than Texas. support.
ed e5,O0o.000 OF people. and by scien.
tific systematic diversified farming.
90 per cent OF the products that sup.
ported this $4,000 600 Of people grew
from German soil.
One OF the most significant parts or
points in the great speech was toward
the close, and II came In the way OF
a prophecy. He said We are going
to come out Of this great war, the most
universally hated nation on the
earth. because OF our absolute neu.
trali,y. England will hate us because
we would not cooperate with her
schemes to get advantage Of the seas
and commerce; France would hate us
because We would not take sides with
her. when she had come TO our assist.
ance once when We we're In trouble:
Germany would hate us because she
thinks that We have been partial to
the allied countries. but notwithstand.
ing all this hatred toward us we viii
be the latest country on earth. and
In their hatred they viii all seek TO
pluck US. Then our diyersification Of
crops viii stand us in hand. The pres.
ent war has In great measure brok.
en- up the breeding and feeding Of live
stock Of all kinds in all the warning
countries. which Is evidence positive
that live stock and feed OF all kinds
viii be higher than, they are today.
and IL we continue to raise cotton to
the neglect OF stock and food and feed
crops the prices of these things will
continue to 20 higher. and we viii
find ourselves completely sold out.
and with very meager facilities for
their production. and when these hun.
cry nations come in to pluck our fat.
ness we will be at their mercy without
anything on which to sustain ourselves
except cotton, and We could not eat
that.
The address was simply overwhelm

OF the faithful. forceful warning OF
this gifted man who knows exactly
about what he is talking and increase
his cotton acreage to the exclusion Of

FIRST ENTRIES IN
 BOYS TOURNAMENT
Robertson, Jacobs, Smith and Fullerton Qualify.
 Tourney Starts Monday

The first entries in the junior tennis championship tournament were listed yes terday by Secretary J. D. Beavins of the Birmingham Athletic cluu. Four boys en- tered the tourney late yesterday after noon. William Robertson, Moses Jacobs, D. l.. Smith and Win Fullerton were the boys to qualify.
 The first round of the tourney will be played on Monday morning. The entry list will close on Saturday night. The tour ney, which is the second annual affair for the youngsters of the city, promises to be the best of the duo. Last year over 30 boys were entered in the play, which CTS in the city.
 Doc Mccoy, the present holder of the title, will enter the tourney this year, but will probably find winning the title much harder than on h-s nrst attempt. Several dark horses loom up but it is prac- tically impossible to pick the winner. Over 50 boys are expected to qualify before the closing time.
 The entries are being received slow at the present, but 1t is probable that the expected number will be reached with ease. Youngsters are warming up'' over the entire city and the interest is run ming high. Practically all of the boys en- tered in the tourney last season will again be seen in fighting tugs. A number of newcomers are also expected.
 Any information win be gladly fur nished by Secretary Beavins or Zipp New man.

WHATCAN YOU DO FOR CATARRH?
Ask Yourself the question: How often has the doctor failed

The easy, common-sense method that costs so little-that is so quickly and vigorously effective-is often the last resort of many Catarrh sufferers. Why, 1t is hard to say. One of the specialists of the Swift Specific Com pany in Atlanta--a physician of stand ing and national reputation because of his knowledge of blood disorders, made the assertion that if the majority of Catarrh sufferers would buy and faith. fully take s. s.

soldiers who had not passed their phy- sical examinations These soldiers will be allowed to return to their homes inn mediately, their transportation being fur nished them by the government. Their pay will be sent to them later.
 The dismissal of negro cooks was de- manded in another order issued by Gen. eral Bricken. Military regulations now do not permit a company to employ the services of negro cooks. and steps are being taken to send them all home as soon as their places can be filled by white cooks.
 The soldiers today were none the worse for their long march yesterday in the parade. Many of the troops marched into the city from the mobilization camp and back again, distance of more than six miles. Their condition this morning, how ever, was excellent; their spirits were good and they were prepared to take up their days labors with a degree of cheer fitness hardly to be expected after their strenuous activities of yesterday,
 Capt. w. P. Screws, U. s. A., has not yet taken his office as lieutenant colonel of the Fourth regiment, to which he was elected about 10 days ago by the officers of the regiment. Captain Screws has re- ceived permission from the war depart ment to accept the promotion, but will not assume his new duties until he has completed ms task as senior muSIerlnS Cl- ficer at the camp. It Is expected that it will be several days yet before he will be able to take his new post.
 Equipment for the soldiers in the way of clothing and shoes will be in Mont. gomery in a day or two, it is announced. The orders were placed several days ago, and the supplies have already been shipped As soon as this equipment ar rives the soldiers will be in much better condition to perform their numerous la bors about the camp. The majority oi the militia have been wearing low shoes since they came to Montgomery. and, as consequence, they have not been able to do much walking.
 Everything at the camp is now shaping up into fine condition, and by the end of the week the troops will have made mark ed improvement along every line. By the first of next week the machine guns for the three regiments will probably have arrived, as well as a large number of rifles for the troops. The encampment by that time will have taken on the most serious military aspect, and the soldiers of the Alabama National Guard will then be in readiness to leave for the Mexican border

 It is probable that no other country derives as much revenue per capita from the people through consumption taxes as does the United States, the report says. adding that the revenue system should be more evenly balanced and a larger portion of revenues collected from in- comes and inheritances of those deriving the most government benefit.
