ask, "What has he ever done for the farmer?" What he has ever done for the state of Alabama during his quarter of century in Congress ?" They hasten to answer their own questions by shouting, "Nothing!" As matter of fact, Senator Under woods record is well and favorably known, not only to the intelligent people of Alabama, but throughout the nation. His work for the nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals alone should win for him the gratitude of every farmer in America.
 Senator Underwood will not de- scend to personalities. He is not that type of man. Tho misrepresentation directed at hin. in this campaign is simply making him stronger with the discerning people of Alabama, those citizens who are able tc tell the diff ference between a statesman whose integrity is unquestionable, who has never in his long public career been subservient to any of the interests or factions which play such con- spicuous part in dirty politics, and ambitious candidates who are trying to ride into cffice on dead issue.
 Dr. James T. Searcy
 Dies At Tuscaloosa
 HE7f7HE death of Dr. James T. Searcy
 0 removes one of Alabama most noted citizens. For many years he was at the head of the Alabama Bryce Insane hospital, state in- stitution, which is one of the larg- est and best equipped hospitals of it's klnQ Tn tIle sGutn.
 Until forced to resign his position some years ago by increasing age and the wanlng of his physical pow CTS, Dr. Searcy, who was eighty years old at the time of his death, devoted himself unreservedly to the great hospital at Tuscaloosa. He had a national reputation as an authority OH mental and nervous diseases.
 No citizen of Tuscaloosa, which has played conspicuous part in the history of Alabama for more than half century. was more universally esteemed. Dr. searcy was both a humanitarian and scientist. He possessed to a marked degree those qualities of mind and heart which dis tinguish the highest type of physi- elan.
 The names of Dr. Searey and Dr. Peter Bryce, his predecessor, will always be associated with the state
 insane hospital3 It is 2 monument to their work for afflicted humanity. f

x E < Senator Underwood Refutes Charges of His Opponents

0
 ID Y the time Senator Underwood O has completed his brief speak ing tour in Alabama it is safe to as- sume that little campaign thunder will be left to his enemies.
 In a straightforward, convincing way, he is meeting the unjust and un- true charges made against his rec ord in Congress for the past twenty five years. The Musgrove support CTS, parrot-like, are repeating over and over again the silly accusation that he is a foe to the working man and a "tool of the special interests, which includes the liquor people of America.
 The latter charge is designed to ap- peal strongly to the prohibiticnists of Alabama, who are expected to sub init tamely to the rule of the prohi- bition bosses and vote as they are told to vote. MT. Underwood's posi- tion on the liquor question is the same today that it was before prohibit tion became and ceased to be an is- sue He believes in states rights and democratic government. He does not believe in delegating to federal authorities powers that are invested in the state His opposition to na- tion-wide prohibition and woman's suffrage is based on sound demo- cratic principle, the right of the sev- eral states to manage their own in ternal affairs.

Can't Rush Season

There is a great deal of talk about the 1ateness of the season from the standpoint of planting gardens" said pr. J. D. Heacock, "but few city folk have any idea what 1t really means to the farmers of the country. My father
 for instance, stated to me that never before. during the past fifty years had he failed to get in a planting of corn and peas before the first week in April
 The great danger will come from the .eagerness of many of the planters to blow the ground before it has chance to get thoroughly dry. Some pride themselves on getting ahead of others by taking a chance in sowing their gardens while the soil is still cold and damp. but as a rule those who do this. have to make second planting
 have found that those who wait until the weather gets warmer and the soil
 in better condition usually in the long run make just as much as those who in their haste try and rush the season"

The Man who Chm Win

Among the candidates suggested for the democratic nomination for Presi- dent are many notable and capable men," said Col Tom Pounds, the well known railroad man. "and some of them of decidedly presidential timber. But the idea that should present itself to every democrat is the selection of the man who can win. and in my opin- ion William Gibbs McAdoo is that man and the logical candidate to carry the democratic banner to victory.
 My reason for this assertion is that I believe he can bring together many of the warning factions of the party; that he believes in the reduction of the burden of taxes, and believes in a square deal for labor and capital alike.
 That he has been tried and not found wanting. we all know, and that he handled a very difficult situation satisfactorily is matter of record. Of the men mentioned as presidential tim - Der on the democratic side. it seems to me he is the logical candidate and the only one that can win"

COTTON MEN START 4 RELIEF
Movement for Near East Sufferers.
Ask Wheat Growers to Join.

Columbia, Dec. IA plan for
the people Of the South and West to
contribute OF their agricultural pro-
ducts to the relief Of the Near East
sufferers and the Polish people is
being worked upon by the American
Cotton Association. The plan was
evolved by Louis [. Gui0n. Of Lug0m.
member Of the executive committee
Of the South Carolina Association.
and was embossed by the association
at its annual meeting Wednesday.
The plan calls for Il contribution
OF cotton equal in value to $250.O0O
by the people Of the South and Il
contribution OF agricultural products
equal in value to $250.OO0 by the
people Of the West. J. S. Wannama-
kcr. president Of the American Cot
ton Association. has been delegated
to work out the details Of the plan.
The resolution adopted by the
South Carolina division of the Amer
lean Cotton Association follows:
Our attention has been called to
the urgent and immediate need of
the thousands Of children and women
in the Near East, including Galicia.
Iithuania, Poland. Russia, Palestine
and Armenia. The American Jewish
relief committee and the Near East
RELIEF are associations collecting
FUNDS to save these unfortunates
from cold. hunger and annihilati0n.
"Thc people Of Poland have stood
as bulwark against the Ovcr-run-
ming OF civilization by Bolshevism.
ana the ArmenianS have suffered
untold abuses because Of their
Christian faith. We therefore think
that these peoples deserve such relief
as we can give.
AT this time the South and West
are without money, SO that we can
not render financial aid as we should
. like. and still! their cry for help
should not fall on deaf ears
The South and West are rich in
the products Of their several sec
tions, and being inclined to render
such aid as lies within our power,
we, the South Carolina division Of
the American Cotton Association
call upon the people Of the South and
West to contribute from our pro-
duets. material for food and clothing
to protect these distressed peoples.
therefore, be 1t resolved, that we
delegate }. S. Wannamaker, presi-
dent of the American Cotton Asso-
citation, to communicate with the
gram growers or tho West. urging
them to contribute agricultural pro-
duets amounting to $250,000. and
that we urge the American Cotton
Association to join In with the Amer
lean Jewish Relief Committee and
the Near East Relief to contribute
cotton equal in value to a like sum
Of $230,000 from Southern States.
BE it further resolved, that a
committee Of three be appointed by
the president OF the South Carolina
division Of the American Cotton AS
Sociation to take this matter up with
the American Jewish Relief COM
mittcc and the Near East Relief and
work out details to put these resolu-
tions into effect, and further to en-
deavor to make arrangements to
nave this cotton manufactured into
suitable goods and make provision
to deliver goods to these people as
allotted "
