ZEPPELIN'S GUNS SEND AIRPLANE
 TO DESTRUCTION
 OVER NORTH SEA
tcontinued from Page one,

surface of the sea is brilliant with the searchlights peering into the heavens for us. There are six or eight ships at one spot. and they appear to use to be dread noughts. The British fleet has put tc sea. Perhaps it was too hot for them at port inthe mouth of the Thames or al Sherness. They had undoubtedly become afraid a bomb might land on one of the lighters made fast to them and from which ammunition was being stored aboard the ships of the fleet, when our Zeppelins made their appearance. The hell of the land has been moved to the sea.
 The blinding rays of the searchlights flash on us once more, and lighting rockets are shot into the sky while the shrapnel and projectiies still buzz around us like lot of flies. They are strain ing every nerve now to get us and using every facility. Not only are the aerial defense guns in action, but the other batteries of the warships making roar ing. laundering deafening concert. The ships attempt to follow the L-120 and keep us within the range of their guns, the sky continuing to be lit up and the guns still roaring

 IN MOBILE COUNTY

Nonresident Judge Will Be Sent There and Fritz Thompson Will Assist
 in Prosecution

Montgomery, February 22.--tSpe- cial1-Judge B. NJ Miller and Solicitor J. Fritz Thompson of the Fourth judi cial circuit. will take charge of the enforcement of tho prohibition laws fin Mobile county Monday morning. Judge Miller will relieve Judge Claude A. Grayson, who has been ordered to hold court in Bibb county in place of Judge Miller. Solicitor Thompson will assist Solicitor Norborne R. Clark of Mobile county.
 Judge Miller received his order to re- port at Mobile from John c. Anderson, chief justice of the supreme court, Thursday afternoon. An order instruct Miller at Centerville Monday morning was mailed by the chief justice Thurs day afternoon. Solicitor Thompson re- ceived his order to go to Mobile from William L. Martin. attorney general.
 In announcing that new judge and solicitor would take charge on the prohibition cases, Attorney General Martin stated that Solicitor Clark had requested him to send Solicitor Thompson to his assistance, believing the laws could be enforced in that county if the proper assistance were furnished. Attorney General Martin said Judge Miller was ordered to Mo- bile to take Judge Grayson's position because 1t was thought best to have q judge who resided in another county.
 Solicitor Thompson assisted Solicitor Clark in the prosecution of cases charging violations of the prohibition laws last summer and many letters have been received by the attorney general from Mobile recently urging that his ser vices again be given to that county.

Ter another appears. One is right in front of us. She cuts loos with her guns. The flashes from the guns have given me an opportunity to pick out the contour of the ship-the tunnels and the fighting mast. Another second, and he will be within our reach--nearer and nearer he is coming. Now,
 Bombs rain on the warship and strike the deck right behind the third funnel They explode with a laundering crash The searchlights go out while her guns are silent. We know there is a British cruiser which will have to take to, the drydock. but certainly she won't be able to use those docks, visited only short time ago by our comrades. These will re-
 quire quite some repairing themselves
 Now we are leaving behind the flashing searchIights, and the roar of the guns grows fainter. All the danger has passed, we think.
 Course. east-north--east," command ATTACKS IN AIRPLANES It is now 1:s0, and the moon has come out so that it's rays light up the silent sea- The sky is clear, and we can see far ahead while below us the thin clouds are scurrying, and the fair wind helps our fine ship to make better speed. We do not expect to be disturbed any more by the busy British. As far as we can see over the surface, there IS nothing, ana all seems to be well with L-l20
 We sail silently along, there being no conversation on board. AS if awakening from bad dream, it seems impossible to my men we have escaped this hell that surrounded us only a little while ago. They still seem to hear the rrasb of the shrapnel and rub their eyes as if blinded yet by the rays of the search lights.
 But aren't those real rays? A blinding flash seems to sweep over our cruiser But, tired. we are undisturbed by these signs and put them down to imagination while L-120 continues on her course. The roaring of the propellers is music to our ears and is restful now that the ter rble pandemonium has been left behind.

CARING FOR SWEET PEAS

As soon as the plants are above ground lit is best to thin out to two to four inches apart. They should then he staked up either with branches of brush or stout stakes on which strings or wire netting can be fastened. These should be at least four feet high, and five to six feet would be better.
 During dry weather the plants should be watered thoroughly and frequently. A mulch of hay or rakings from the lawn will be found beneficial during hot wealth CT. The flowers should be cut as often as possible to prevent the plants froul running to seed, which would stop them l from cnntir11ii1cr in hlnnfll

 The men relate stories of the sights and
 of the havoc wrought by our bombs.
 Johnny Bull certainly got his share this time" some one remarks with
 laugh.
 OTHER ZEPPELINS RETURN
 This conversation keeps up for a short time, and then all leave the hangar to witness the landing of L-64, and hear
 what her crew has to say Within few
 minutes this air cruiser is also safe in her hangar. L-51 Is still out but reports
 have reached us she Is safely on her way. Another hour passes and that cruiser is also sighted and lands She had met with such stubborn defense that it forced her to make a great detour. still over England, she had been attacked by enemy fliers which cause more delay. 1 Slightly wounded and his machine dam aged, the Englishman soon gave up the l fight and saved himself by landing on solid ground. Besides this. there had | been trouble with one of the motors for half an hour so she was compelled to go at half speed.
 From the other hangars, we get the word that all the Zeppelins have re- turned. and. within an hour the tele- graph reports to all points of the German empire:
 "Bast night several sduadrons of our air cruisers attacked London and the centers of industry from Norfolk to
 Northumberland with success. All the air cruisers have returned undamaged. l The crews of the Zeppelins now go to their well deserved rest. The excitement and strain Of the night is beginning to tell on their endurance. Tired bodies and 1 limbs are finding relief. But the nerves hare still tingling from the memories o1 the night Just past. And then sleer

THOUGHTS ON FOREIGNERS

We have, our thoughts too much set on getting the foreigner to come in and make prosperity for us It is claimed. idle four or five months out of every year, and earn nothing by his efforts. That is painfully true, but that is one of the unfortunate results of a one-crop system of agriculture. We have been blind as bats in our determination to grow cotton and buy everything else with cotton money That method has net made us rich, and never could. Now the boil weevil is making cotton growing S, nearly impossible, where it has become established, that much of the population lis leaving or has gone, many more are trying to leave.
 We have clung to cheap, inefficient labor too long. It is going now Let's set to work to get in capable American farmers. There will be thousands of acres of idle land in Alabama this year, simply because cotton cannot be grown. That land would grow anything else, and it is an unpardonabe mistake to have the land lie idle. If food crops had been demanded last year by every land owner, there would have been little need for this exodus of labor. It is true the storm of July hit us hard, and I with others was a heavy loser, but I planted after the storm and had enough upland in food crops to secure the food for the farm people. We are too easy to give up and quit trying. In our long growing season. if we manage right, we can't keep from getting some food crops
