han all the presidents from Washington to Wilson, and unless they could bring about a political panic, with which they could say to labor, if you do not help us get a change in administration at Washington you will not only be working g half time, but also you will be working for much lower wages. and many of you will be begging for bread.
 This political panic has already caused the closing down of many of the man- ufacturing industries in the east and central west, where many thousand la borers are idle and are listening to the republican spellbinder fool them into be- lieving that the present administration is responsible for the closing down of these numerous industries
 To help along the situation one Mir. Houston. Secretary of the Treasury has seen fit to join with the regional banking heads to bring about lower prices, and have gone out of their way, by telling the press and some of our bankers and business men that they could not do this or that, when it would have been much better for them to have assured legitimate business that they stood ready and willing to assist them in any way in the hand ling of their business, and kept silent as to matters unnecessary to be dis cussed
 The farmer may not know 1t, but I want him to know right now that the regional banking system is owned by it's member banks, said member owning the stock on which they are paid per cent per annum, and the regional bank is now and has been for months charging their member banks more than 6 per cent, and mind you the father as it were, that is the regional bank, allows his son the mem Der bank, to do business with him on an almost orphans basis
 It may be satisfactory with the mem Der banks, but if it is, they are quite easily satisfied.
 We farmers are nearly everybody else are buying only what necessity demands, and until we commence buy ing in greater quantities, there is not much hope of permanent improve ment.
 I am a afbull on all commodities that have suffered a 50 per cent decline cotton one of the sufferers. I am therefore expecting 30-cent cotton, be- tween now and January 1, provided the farmer does not sell, excepting of course, such as he may to sell to ease his merchant and the banker, who are his best friends, and would suggest that the merchant and the banker, may be able to care for his cotton on thei merchants note backed by warehouse receipt for the cotton.
 One way to bring about quick TO- covery in the market is for the farmer to gin his cotton as fast as he picks it, carry it home or to his nearest warehouse and get done ginning as quickly as possible and the world by the ginnings will soon realize that the present crop is not much above Ill., 0e0.000 and not between 100000 and t3.000,0O0 as it is today contented to believe
 The best bull is usually badly scared boar, so let's do little soaring and with the crop ginned, and when he finds 1t much less than he has beea believing, we can watch him get fran tic trying to buy back, what we, the farmers, would not sell him. Very faithfully yours, JOHN s. TURNED.

RIVER FACILITIES UP 10 THE PEOPLE
Passage of Amendments and Future Development In Their
 Hands, Says Jackson

Not even the people of Jefferson county, who will be the only ones af- fected, should the second amendment carry and the voters of this county au- thorize the lending of the county's credit for the development of river and that their money would not be amply safeguarded, in the statement of James J. Jackson, secretary of the campaign committee for the county river amend ment.
 In providing for the submission of the amendment, those who favor the construction of the necessary railroad facilities to the Port of Birmingham took precautions to keep down any op- position on the score that politics might play any part in the spending of any money which might be provided" de- eleven prominent citizens, all residents of Jefferson county, would have to be named by tho governor of Alabama to handle the development work, should 1t l ever be authorized.
 T believe every one realizes that the governor would naturally name eleven
 Of the ablest and most highly respected men of the county to handle this most important matter. Another point of in- terest is the fact that the members of
 the commission would receive no re- muneration whatever for their services,
 and it would follow that patriotic citi-
 zens of great business ability would be r1 lad hxy tba ta1- l this work. They could only receive ac- | tual travelling expenses, which could be paid only upon presentation of proper | vouchers.
 "The members of this commission | would be named for periods running l from one to eleven years each and as ! the terms of one of them would expire 1 each year. the governor would have the l opportunity from time to time of add
 ing any man who had demonstrated pe- culiar fitness for this position. | q am sure that all the old citizens oi
 Jefferson county recall the splendid services which the county sewer com
 mission rendered some twenty years oI more ago. and there Is no reason tc doubt that the same class of men would
 serve on the river commission without pay and would render the same patri. otic and efficient services.
 l "Of course, the adoption of the sec | ond amendment means nothing more l than that the people of Alabama vote tc | allow the people of Jefferson county tc
 handle this matter as they see fit
 Surely no one could object to that prop.
 osition. Then if the amendment 1!
 adopted. and the people of the county
 desire an election, they may hold one
 And when the people realize that what. 1 ever money was made available would be placed in the hands of this non-par' | tisan commission, I feel certain that any | needed credit to give Jefferson countl
 and the state the fullest benefits of thi!
 20 per cent reduction in freight ratel | will be voted"
