Shipments From County
Since December IS Worth
About 100000

CULLMAN, Ala, April 5.-(Spe-
cial. )-Since December 10, there have
been about 100 cars of sweet potatoes
shipped from Cullman. This does not
include those shipped in smaller
amounts by express and those shipped
from Hanceville and other points in this
county.
Recently. A. H. Reinhardt, one of the
leading shippers of potatoes from here,
shipped two cars, one to Cleveland, o.,
and the other to Pittsburg. One of
these cars, which was heavily loaded,
brought in $4,000, the other $4,000.
Since December Is, when the ship
ping of the kiln dried sweet potatoes
really began in this county, vehicles
filled with crates of these fine potatoes,
have been seen at all time of the day,
going towards the railroad station,
where the crates are furnished and the
cars loaded.
Secrets OF Raising-It is note
worthy fact that the larger part of these
kiln dried potatoes, which have been
shipped, were raised by the older Ger
man planters of the county. These
farmers have been trained in scientific
farming and they will take the pains
and trouble to give their attention to
the proper kind of soil for the raising
of potatoes, as well as to the kind of
seed and fertilizer to use. One big
secret in the keeping of these potatoes,
is in knowing how to harvest them
properly.

the figures showed a slight gain of re-
| ceipts over disbursements for this

the fact that the income and outgo at

ceipts of the six months of the previous
year were shown to be $2,193, 095.37,

months of the current fiscal year over
the disbursements of six months of the
previous year were $2,042, 420.95. OF
the receipts for the last six months
$2,049,116.46 were derived from gen.
eral taxes.
A grand total of 14,416.12 was
disbursed for educational purposes dur
ing the past six months. Eleemosynary
institutions received $S32,612.4I from
the state while the sum disbursed in
pensions to Confederate soldiers and
widows amounted to $S76.051 so. The
highway department received $685.

ton.

penses, interest and maintenance

May Restore Bridge
Prospects that the state will aid
Montgomery county in restoring the
Roy railroad bridge over the Alabama
river to traffic seemed bright after a
statement made Saturday by John A.
Rogers, chairman of the state highway
commission. Senator Rogers stated that
it was proposed by the county to build
the bridge and maintain it. provided
the state would aid in putting it into
shape where it could be used again for
vehicle traffic. 1t is understood that
the cost to the state would not exceed
$4,000. Senator Rogers said that per-
sonally he regarded the proposition with
favor, but wished the commission as a
whole to take action thereon.

VIADUCT SOUGHT
BY CHILDERSBIJRG
Central Of Georgia Iron
ing Out Most Of
Differences
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU,

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April g.
Practically all the differences between
the Central of Georgia railroad and the
people along its line from Birmingham
to Opelika regarding the proposed i'm
provements' that the railroad contem-
plates have been settled except the ques-
tion of contemplated fill at Childers-
burg, it was stated Saturday by Fitz-
hugh Lee, associate member of the Ala
bama public service commission, who
has recently returned from a trip to
this section of the state.
Inc public service commission is TAX
ing no official action in the various
points of controversy that have arisen
between the railroads and the different
communities regarding some of the pro-
posed changes, but has used its good
offices unofficially for the parties to
arrive at satisfactory settlements.
A proposition has been made for the
Central of Georgia to erect viaduct
in lieu of part of the dirt fill. but the
length of this viaduct has not yet been
agreed upon. The Childersburg people
want the viaduct to be 600 feet in
length, while Chief Engineer Lawrence
of the Central of the Georgia who has
gone to Childersburg for inspection is
stated by Mr.. Lee to be willing to rec
ommend TO the management of the road
a viaduct only $40 feet in length.

GERMAN SUPERMEN
SOUGHT BY PAPERS
Atherton's Eternal Youth Plan
Ridiculed By Press

BERLIN, April 5.-(By Associated
Press. Gertrude Atherton's suggestion
that Germany will again make herself
Predominant by having her supermen
subjected to the Steinach treatment and
srejuyenatedsafter the manner of the
heroine in her BLACK Oxen" is Great
ing much amusement among the Ger
man newspapers, which are inquiring
how the government will determine who
its important men are and how it will
designate the leaders whose youth is to
be restored.
Will there. be a new ministry to de-
termine who shall be Steinached, or
will President Ebert be permitted to be-
stow permission to enjoy perennial
youth after the manner in which the
Kaiser used to confer honors? The
Boursen Courier asks. And what will
happen to the important men who re-
fuse to be treated? the newspaper also
wants to know. Will they be jailed or
forcibly subjected to the rejuvenating
process?
Democrats of all sorts, it is pointed
out, would undoubtedly offer strong op-
position to the rejuvenation of Luden-
dorff, whose recent commentator of
himself in the Munich trials, as one of
the greatest figures in history, has SUBJ
jected him to ridicule even by the re-
dictionary Germans, and the parties on
the right would undoubtedly resent the
treatment of nonmonarchial leaders, it
is argued.
DR.. Heinrich Silbergleit. director of
the federal bureau of vital statistics,
thinks Mrs. Anterior was smiling up
her sleeve when she discussed a possible
increase in the German population, but
he says that if a nation such as Ger
many, which must import considerable
food, were to make widely successful
application of the Steinach treatment,
il would cut its own throat by an in
crease in the population which it could
NOT sustain

TUsCUMBIA, Ala, April 5.-The
First Presbyterian church of Tuscurn-
bia is one Of the Oldest religious or
CARNATIONS in the northern portion of
the state. 1t had its inception in this
wise: At a. social gathering it de-
,veloped that five ladies present were of
the Presbyterian persuasion and during
the discussion one of them remarked
1--WE must have a Presbyterian church
in Tuscumbia." The idea took prac!
tical shape when in 1924 the Rev. DR..
Blackburn of Frankfort, KY, organized
a church with IL charter members in a
three-story frame building standing at
the head of the Big Spring, know later
as the Chatter hotel
On April 13 and Ia the church will
celebrate the one hundredth anniver-
sary of its organization. Rev. DIR. al
bert Sidney Johnsons of Charlotte, N.
c., a son of this church, and DR.. ]. D..
Wallace of Decatur, Ala, former pas
tor will be present. Many former
members will return to rejoice with the
congregation at that time.
