RABBIT PELTs IN DEMAND
Country Boys Have Opportunity to
Make Some Money During the
Coming Winter Months.

In recent years several kinds OF
fur, formerly of so little value as to
offer no inducement to the trapper,
have increased in price, and conse-
quently collecting them has been made
profitable. Is
Rabbit pelts, which are extensively
used by hat makers, are among these
products. Formerly rabbit skins were
of virtually no value; country boys
who eagerly sought the lair OF the
skunk and the raccoon and who were
even able to sell squirrel skins,
thought so little of the rabbit and
made so little effort to dispose OF
the skins that they were seldom used
except to form a pad on which they
"knuckled down" in the marble game.
Now, however, rabbit skins are
worth something, and the country boy
who will devote this winter to saving
and marketing the skins of the rabbits
he kills should make a comfortable
sum Of money.
One big eastern firm has announced
that 1t will need 100000 rabbit skins.
The skins are usually sold by the
pound, which will contain seven or
eight skins.

LONG LACE.MAKlNG CENTER
Since 1865 ypres Has Been Celebrated
for the Excellence Of Ito
Manufactures.

II was in 1865 that the manufacture
Of lace, now known as Valenciennes,
was begun at Ypres, and with other
cities and towns and hamlets in Elan
ders the clack of the bobbins and the
chatter Of the lacemakers may once
more be heard. Many a little village
is re-establishing its industry and Is
finding as ready a market as 1t did
before the war. Flemish laces have
always been favorites in England from
the time when Henry VIII in 1915
made present of "kerchiefs fringed
with Flemish work" to "his verrie
deare wife," Catherine Parr. Lace
making was part Of the education OF
women in the Low Countries in the
latter part of the fifteenth century,
and Charles v ordered it to be taught
in the schools, but in 1860 it was not
only flourishing industry in Belgium
but, with the approval Of Louis XIV,
Manufacture Royal de Dentelles was
founded, and lacemakers from Flan-
ders were brought to France, as Flem-
ish lace was even more sought after
than Italian lace. 1t was at this time
that some of the most famous points"
first appeared and were developed.
The point de Bruxelles,' which Is
made with the needle, and "Binche"
lace, the queen of all pillow lace, as
well as "point d'Angleterre," in which
pillow and needlework are mingled, all
enhanced the reputation of the Flem-
ish designers.

Find a 12-Pound Nugget.

A nugget Of almost pure gold, weigh
ing IL pounds, was recently discov-
cred near the Charters Tower mine in
Queensland, Australia. For years the
Towers Of Queensland, which up to
the seventies was desolate tract, too
poor and seedy for sheep, has boosted
a premier position among Australian
gold fields. Levels are worked at a
depth of nearly half a mile. This
particular find is worth $4,000. A II
pound nugget is no record; but in
most nuggets all is not gold that gilt
tiers; a 12-pounder Of almost pure
goldp is rare. The worlds record mug
get came from Ballarat in 1S5S-2,217

RalI-creep on Railroad BRIDGES.

The chief engineer Of the Madras
railway has something to say regard
ing rail.creep on railway bridges in
India, in a recent issue Of Indian En-
cheering. In the case Of the God
averi bridge, where the creep amount
ed to as much as three to four feet a
year, a special cast-iron sleeper was
designed to suit the 75-pound fiat-foot-
ed rail, with jaw large enough to
receive lock-fast steel key. This re-

GREENSBORO

Greensboro, January 24.-tSpecial.)- Two negroes, Daisy Peck, 12-year-old girl. and Addle McCarrell, a young woman, were arrested by the Hale county sheriff and lodged in jail here charged with poisoning coffee at the home of pr. w c. Gewin at Akron on January 12, which came near proving fatal to pr. and Mrs. Gewin, Miss Huffman and Mir. Parr. The Peck girl is the one who is alleged to have put the poison in the coffee pot, but says she was told to do so by the McCarrell woman. The victims of the poisoning are recovering after severe illness.

wood and that another might take his place.
 The issue is joined now. MT. Mus grove will oppose MT. Underwood in the fight. It seems there can be no change now. MT. Musgrove has or- ganized his forces for the campaign, has appointed Judge Henry B. Poster as campaign manager, James A Wade as chairman of his campaign commit tee and w. C. Davis as chairman Of tho speakers bureau. Mir Underwood had already announced that Lloyd M Hooper wouldlbe chairman of his cam paign committee and would have tho support of several strong men as vice presidents or chairmen.
 Information during the week was that Mir Musgrove's campaign would be started from Birmingham headquarters ct once and that an organization would be perfected in all counties. MT. Un- derwod's state headquarters here has already been organized here and for shree weeks it has been planning for and organizing the various counties. It is probable a list of county chair- men will be available early in Febru- ary. The active vice chairmen are yet to be named, but it is known some of the active ones will be Forney John ston, Ray Rushton and R. M. Hobbie. MT Underwood will be able to give little personal attention to the cam paign due to his duties at Washington However, it is known that he plans to spend as much time as possible in Ala- bama. If he is successful in the fight for the minority leadership, he will be forced to spend more time away from his campaign.
 MT. Musgrove will enter into ths

 Issues in the campaign are being discussed more generally now that ths entrants seem to be registered. MT. Underwoods claim will be that he has fulfilled every trust imposed by his constituency and that no man who has been faithful should be retired for one who has not demonstrated his fitness. Local issues will not be featured. his friends believing the thought of Ala bama voters should be about what their senator has done or will do with national problems rather than prob lems arising within the state. At the proper time the campaign committee will show what service Senator Un- derwood has rendered and why this service should command their support in this campaign.
 It is known that MT. Musgrove's campaign committee is preparing to present case which will give argu- ments as to why another man should go to the upper house from Alabama and why this man should be MT. Mus grove. His committee has promised some surprises and they are awaited with great interest. Little is known about the plan of campaign of his com mittee because the state organization
 has just been formed. However. if re-
 ports be true the committee is pre- pared to do and say something which will lend great interest to the fight between this time and the primary. Mir. Musgrove's activities seem to have eliminated Bibb Graves of Mont gomery. For several weeks it had
 been said Colonel Graves hoped to en- ter the race as a compromise candi- date against Senator Underwood. Now that he is eliminated from the sena- toria1 race. discussion turns to old re- ports that he would oppose Sam P. Kennedy for president of the public service commission. Colonel Graves has said nothing to indicate that he will seek this office.
