Mr. A. R. Smith,
Editor, Phoenix Tribune.
Dear Sir:
A few words to Tribune readers:
l notice in a recent issue of the
Phoenix Tribune an appeal to the
Colored people for donation in be-
half of the Little Rock riot sufferers
who are under sentence of death ard
desire to have their cases appealed
to a higher court for review l know
nothing of the merit Of their cases,
except what is stated in that notice
of appeal to the people However, l
take it that no such appeal would be
made unless it was done in the case
of absolute justice and that some
wrong had been done to the accused
l believe in giving to every one a
fair and impartial trial whatever the
merit of the case may be, and that
the innocent should not be made to
suffer for the guilty. If their cases
involved the question of self-defense
it should be considered and judged
accordingly. We know that human
nature at its best is weak and likely
to err, and especially under stress
of sudden excitement, but self-pres-
ervation is natures first law and
that must be considered.
inclose the asked for contribution
willingly and sincerely trust that
their appeal may be successfully
prosecuted and their lives be spared
for future usefulness to their families
and friends.
Very respectfully,
Mr.. Samuel McDaniels, $1.00.

FERTILIZER SITUATION
OUTLOOK FOR COMMERCIAL.
PLANT FOOD IN SOUTH
Prices Not So High AS They
Were, But Materials Are
a. Reported Not Equal W
To Demand y

Atlanta, GA survey Of the fer
tilizer situation by those familiar with
it indicates that there may be short
age of commercial plant food in 1920.
The reasons assigned for this are pr1n-
cipaly that strikes have interfered
with the production of materials. In
addition, there has been some diff
Guilty in Obtaining shipments over the
railroads.
To be more specific, the long drawn
out strike of miners in the rock phos-
plate fields of Florida prevented
supply of rock phosphate being ship
ped to the factories. This and the diff
ficulty Of getting prompt shipments
when the mines resumed work, it is
claimed, has put the manufacture OF
acid phosphate more than three
months behind, besides reducing the
possible supply.
AS to ammoniates or heterogeneous
materials, it is pointed out that the
reduced the possible output OF sui
phate of ammonia. Tankage and cot
tonseed meal are so much in demand
as feed as to be unavailable or too ex-
pensive to use as fertilizers. Nj
trate of soda is being shipped in larger
amounts, but not as cheaply as was
expected. 1t seems that the demand
for. nitrate of soda in the orient, es-
pecially, has kept up the price higher
than was anticipated.
AS for potash, there is going to he
a fair supply, the first time since the
European war began. A considerable
amount Of potash has been shipped
from Germany to France, while there
is quite an accumulation of stocks
of desirable American-made potash on
hand.

tilizers early and for immediate ship
ment. The reasons given are that
there is going to be great difficulty
In supplying the demand, and the
sooner it is known how much the
farmer wants, the sooner the manu-
facturer will know how big a job he
has on his hands and how hard he
must work to accomplish as much of
1T as possible.
1t is also stated that the railroads.
are anxious that fertilizers be ordered
early so that they may be able to pro-
vide cars, else there will be a serious
difficulty in getting fertilizers deliv-
cred on time. The railroads are also
insisting on full carload shipments,
which makes it necessary to have or
ders early so as to consolidate them
into full carloads.
1t is stated that the indications are
that there will be heavy demand for
fertilizers throughout the South this
year on account of the promising
prospects for southern crops. It is
stated, also, that the orders coming
in to the factories reveal that the
farmer is now wanting higher grade
fertilizers than ever before.

 Streets
By Associated Press

Northampton, Mass, November 5-- The homefolks turned out in full force tonight to welcome their neighbor, Governor Calvin Coolidge and to show him their satisfaction in his election to the vice presidency. He spoke briefly to audiences which filled two halls and was cheered by thousands as he was driven through the city streets. 1'he Vice President elect and Mrs. Cool idge were entertained at dinner by the home town committee of 100 and after ward were driven in an automobile to Smith college. They were escorted by a guard of honor from the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. and were followed by band and by cars containing guests.
 From the college the governor was driven back to the city hall, where he was introduced by Mayor Michael Fitz- gerald, and in a brief speech, thank ed his friends for their welcome. Return 1ng to the college, he was greeted by cheers as he entered John M Greene Hall. Before his arrival, President Emeritus l.. Clark Seelye of Smith col acge. who presided, had introduced l Ecvernor Sproul of Pennsylvania and ftiS GOfCtiiO eulOSlLcQ GONSTAUi Coolidge in brief address.
 President Seelye welcomed Governor Coolidge to a joyful family reunion" and cheers broke out again as the gov ernor started to speak.
 He expressed his appreciation, and recalling his political beginnings in Northampton, said that his home ward has given him larger majority for the common council than for vice pres ident, but he was consoled by the fact that on Tuesday last he carried two democratic wards.
 Governor Coolidge said that the re- publican victory showed the great de- sire of the American people for a cess sation of governmental extravaganza, and that the President-elect, who has vision. but keeps his feet on the ground" could be depended upon "to promote peace abroad and prosperity ! at home"
 After his address two young women presented Mrs. Coolidge with a huge basket of roses and chrysanthemums. the gift of the women of Northamp- ton.
