BURNETT GOES HOME

Washington, January 2.-(Speclal. Congressman Burnett of the Alabama Seventh left for home this afternoon
 Monday he will deliver an address at Centre, Cherokee county, in which he will formally announce himself a candidate for reelection to Congress. On the same stump will appear his two opponents Captain Rainey of Gadsden and Watt T. Brown of Ragland.
 MT. Burnett, dean of the Alabama house delegation, and chairman of one of
 the big committees, is confident that he will be reelected. Up to the present
 time, he has beaten all opposition
 throughout a number of years, and he
 states that he will depend on the judg-
 ment of his people as to whether or not
 he will be better able to serve them than
 an inexperienced man of whatever abi,-
 ity, confronted with the necessity of serv-
 ing long for promotion

RAISE THE HEAD TAX

Other provisions of the bill would raise the head tax on immigrants to sS and would increase the penalties. Both fines and Imprisonment would be authorized for offenders and any steamboat company bringing an alien later to be deported would be required to refund the cost Of his trip.
 Both the Asiatic exclusion section and the literaey test provision of the bill are expected to precipitate a viz orous debate when the measure comes up in the House. The requirement. for a literacy test has caused the failure of three previous immigration bills through presidential veto.

HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, January 22.-(Special) Mrs William Cummings Storey, presi- dent general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, has written let ters to the regents of every local chap ter of the organization urging them to use their influence and that of their chapters in urging the United states to adopt the policy of preparedness advocated by President Wilson. A copy of the letter sent out by Mrs. Storey was received here yesterday afternoon by Mrs. A. F. Mastin regent of Twick- enham Town chapter This chapter is heartily in favor of the preparedness programme and a signed statement to that effect will be forwarded at once to national headquarters.
 The baseball fans of Huntsville are agtating the question of organizing an association to finance team if q berth can be secured in the Alabama Georgia league. The necessary money
 can be raised, it is believed, if berth
 in this league can be obtained.
 The Retail Merchants association has submitted a proposition to the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce to join that or ganzation in a body provided certain conditions are met. The Retail mer- chants propose to pay the annual dues oi Fa5 per member and receive the benefits of a general secretary's advice, office Headquarters, stenographers, etc.. but to be allowed to operate their association as q branch of the Chamber of Com- merce.
 The business council of the Chamber oi Commerce has recommended that the re- port of the agricultural committee recon , mendinG that the chamber proceed with the organization of a county fair associa- ton be adopted; the parent organization to subscribe to $l01O of the capital stock of 5000 if a fair grounds site is pur- chased, or $500 fstock if site is leased The farmers of the county will be invited to come into the association with smal subscriptions. The Alabama Livestock association is invited to hold it's annua
 convention here at the same time.

 kiss of Juliet, who said goodby "until it be morrow" or the caress of the Goth am wonder which endured for two hours and a half.
 MT. I.ittleton, in endeavoring to bring the members of the committee to their senses-from which in listening to such argument for more than a week they had seemingly wandered-became quite sarcastic For instance, he asked:
 What is an immoral picture? Who can answer that question? Must that point be settled for 100.o00,0OO people Must that question which reaches from the neither sewers of fragrant immorali ty into the very stars of the ethical frma ment, be answered for every man, woman and child in the nation by a group of quixotic and querulous old gentlemen solemnly settling the morals of nation by presidential appoint ment?"
 And more to this effect asseverateG MT. Littleton But while the question still remains unanswered the hope is that nothing will be on the programme to shock the Alabama prohibitionists when they come to Washington Washington, January 22.-(Special) Amendments to the law governing post al savings having passed the House, were reported yesterday by the Senate committee on postoffices and postroads, favorably. The bill was introduned in the Senate by Senator BaniShead.
 The measure is interesting for the reasons that while heretofore one could have on deposit only $500 at interest. he can have In the future on deposit S1000 at interest; and because it pro- vides that whereas a postoffice now to occupy the fourth class must do busi- ness as great as s250 per quarter for four consecutive quarters, a postoffice in the future may occupy that class

WHAT THE ESTATE TAX MAY
PRODUCE

The revenue from the estate tax
is conJectural. For the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1917, the estimate
is only $20,000,0OO. But when it
is in full operation it is believed it
will realize above $50,0O0,O0O and
possibly SOS, 100000. This will de-
pend, naturally, upon the mortality
among the very rich 1t is a good
deal like calculating an undertak
er's receipts a year in advance. This
tax is also graduated. On am es-
tate not exceeding $4,000 the
death duty would be l per cent
From above $4,000 and up to
$4,000, , per cent From above
$l50,000 to $250,000, per cent.
and so to 10 per cent for an estate
appraised above 100000. 1t will
be seen that the tax is much more
severe than that on incomes. For
instance, 100000 estate ought to
realize an income of from S2,25O to
$500 This income falls below
the normal income tax figure. A

Nh. ]. B. COX MAKES
SUCCESS WITH CIGARS

Four years ago Mr.. j. B. Cox
came to Marietta from Atlanta and
began making cigars-he called
them Marietta Resagos, and they
proved popular with the smokers of
Marietta. Then he added to his
line the Kennesaw Smoker, keeping
in mind the patriotic spirit. These
too, were popular, and so a few
weeks ago he began TO make the
Right of Way, which sells for 10c
and is a delight to particular smok-
ers.
Mr.. Cox began business with his
own ability and faith in the quality
of his product and his trade has
grown steadily ever since until now
he employs six cigar makers and
keeps busy himself handling the
business end ~of his factory. He
has just rented the large hall above
Mr.. H. A. Wards store and as soon
as he gets Strengthened out in his
new quarters he expects to increase
his force to twelve.
When he began business Mr.. Cox
could make about five hundred CT
CARS a day but now his factory is
turning out $4,000 a month and he
expects to double this within the
next few days. He says that his
present trade VIII take care of that
many. All the tobacco he uses is
genuine Cuban grown and of ex-
cellent quality.
This is one new business in Mari
eta that has made a fine success
and we hope Mr.. Cox will continue
to succeed with his increased capa-
city

WILSON GROWING Stronger

Two things have occurred dur
ing the past few days to indicate
that the Democratic campaign is he
ginning to make favorable impress
sion on the minds of those WHO
would ordinarily look the other
way.
Thomas A. Edison has come cut
squarely for the presidents re-el7c-
ton, and the Michigan Progressives
have pledged themselves to work tor
it also.
Mr. Edison has been a lifelozg
Republican and devout admirer
of Colonel Roosevelt Yet he fnds
many and very logical reasons wy
he should forsake such strong ap-
peals to his political sentiment ard
support Woodrow Wilson.
"In the first place he finds that
Woodrow Wilson has been presiden5
of the United States in perhaps the
most trying period of the nation :
history. He finds that despite the
unrest at home and the commotfc1
abroad that Woodrow Wilson has
succeeded in\ keeping the United
States peaceful by diplomacy the
masterfulness of which is accentUat
ed by the difficulties to be overcome.
He finds that Woodrow Wilson has
gained an experience under these
trying circumstances, and an in
sight into the problems which this
nation faces that the American p4o-
pie would be unwise to disregard
Mr. Edison is neither a politi-
clan nor political leader, but just
big, brainy man who has probably
done more for his day and genera
ton than any other human being.
He thinks independently, patriotic
ally and impartially. He is bound
by no sentiments, no ambitions, no
obligations, no expectations of re-
ward. What he says is the product
of his judgment, and for this req
son is. bound to have considerable
effect on intelligent and indepea-
dent voters throughout the country.
$50 far as the Michigan Progress
sives are concerned, their action in
dicates two tendencies. First, a pur-
pose to disregard the dictum Of
Theodore Roosevelt on the part Of
the rank and file, and second, a
strong inclination tlo look to the
Democratic party rather than to the
Republican for real progressive leg
