|D|NSMORE AGAINST
 OTHER CANDIDATES
Birmingham Lawyer Says He Is Independent And For
 Plain People

Ridiculing the report that he an- Eounced for President to help Will liam Gibbs McAdoo in Alabama. M A. Dinsmore, Birmingham lawyer, asserted With emphasis Wednesday that he Jumped. into the race in be- half of the plain people of Alabama, and for no other reason"
 He reiterated that he was allied with no other candidate, adding that he was shaping plans to open his campaign with a speech in Birming- lam on or about January 20.
 T know the people of this state don't want Senator Underwood or L.. B. Musgrove,", declared Dinsmore. Neither of these men represent or care anything about the common people. That, in 8 nutshell, is why I hoped in. And when get through Pn have the Alabama allegation just watch.
 Senator Underwood Is . reaction ary, and the people of Alabama are tired of him. Musgrove is not a man of great caliber and every one knows his race is being run purely out of spite. I have heaps of things to tell the people about both of these poli- ticians before this race ends-and I'm going in every county. Now as to McAdoo, he hasn't entered my mind. I have not decided what will do with the Alabama votes. But have decided to wrest them from Underwood and Musgrove."
 Dinsmore practiced law es usual Wednesday and stopped in at city hall to talk local politics with the boys. He will open campaign head quarters in the Hillman or Moulton hotel the middle of the month, he said

 IN SUM OF $150,000
Fund Retires Item Saving
 TwO-thirds Of Interest

The first step towards carrying out its resolution to practice economy in 1924 was taken by the city commis- sion Wednesday at it's first session of the new year.
 A measure retiring $150,000 worth of per cent improvement bonds was adopted. They will be retired from the sinking fund. which is drs '-r only 3h per cent interest. Hence, a saving of 2h per cent Is affected.
 We started out right" said Pres ident D. B. McLendon. land I hon. estly believe we are going through with our years program without a hitch."
 The program calls for increased harmony at city hall, more rigid economy and for nearly 8 dozen inn portant improvement projects, mo- table among which is a plan to es- tablish viaducts and underpasses at dangerous grade crossings down. town.

COUNTY T0 FIGHT| ROAD TAX DIVISION
Board Of Revenue Maintains Street Improvements
 zLiquidate Obligation

Although the report of Ernest Matthews. legal adviser to the board of revenue, will not be ready for several days, it is likely. that the board will take some action when nounced intention to fight the ef- forts of the city commission to get what 1t claims as the citys share of the 10 cent special road tax.
 We have 30 days in which to take whatever steps we may decide upon," MT. Matthews, to whom the county's side of the case has been referred, doubt that the injunction will be fought, but thus far no decision has been reached about what definite steps will be taken"
 President D. c. Ball of the board of revenue, Wednesday night, said the board, through it's legal adviser, would take whatever steps might be necessary to protect itself. r Officials expressed the belief that the city would not attempt to col lect from the coutny more than the amount collected on this fund in 1923. President Ball said. if this were true and the city forced the county to pay that amount, estimated at about 75,000, the board would still be able to carry out it's general program of expenditures without embarrassment.
 The city obtained temporary in- junction Monday restraining the board of revenue from diverting to any other purpose or otherwise dis posing of the city's share of the spe- cial road tax collected, amounting to one-half of the total road tax paid on property within the city limits. The board of revenue claims 1t has paid out more than this amount in construction and maintenance of roads and streefs entirely within the ,city limits which should be paid for out of the city treasury, despite the fact that the supreme court of Ala bama has already decided the matter in favor of the city.

Birmingham Being Dried Out, Hargett Says, As The
 Price Rises

Federal Prohibition Director A. W. Hargett has aimed another blow at Alabama sinners and bootleggers.
 This time he Is reorganizing. his staff of field agents and making plans to place them in localities where they are unknown. The agents will scatter over the state Friday to try out this arrangement and the director believes 1t will work to advantage.
 All agents were assembled in, Bir- mingRam Wednesday for final in- sstructions before beginning Q dry campaign that will last the entire year, according to Director Hargett.
 Alabama was dryer Christmas than 1t had been in ten years" said the director. Tt was still dryer on New Years and it will be dryer than that before 1924 is far along. We have now learned the lay of the land and we are out to make whisky so scarce that it will reach prohibitive prices."
 The state staff is now recruited to full war strength, boasting 16 agents, Director Hargett said. He plans to ask Washington for more men later in the year.

Our crop reporting service in
forms us that our apple crop this
year was 3,2i1 900 bushels and valu-
ed at $2,7S7, 900 which makes for
S5c per bushel for the grower but
when I visit the city l find for sale
some Of these same apples at sc
each and the question is where and
how did they gain the extra value
In the same report the Maine
farmer is told that his income for
1924 was $3.50 less than in the pre-
vious year; but he realizes that his
expenses have increased as is shown
in the balanced account. and still we
wonder why SO many abandoned
farms.
Potatoes are selling for e0c per
barrel when the farmer can find any
market at all, which is not one
half the cost of production. There
were produced this year over thirty
nine million bushels more than last
year and with the embargo on In
shipping to England it looks like a
down and out price for the raiser.
Many Of the larger planters are 60
irg out Of the business as an unpay-
ing proposition. Many farmers are
buying potatoes which they can do
cheaper than to raise them, however
wrong it may appear.
Horses can not be given away as
there is practically no business be-
ing done this winter. Cows are a
drug in the market because of the
. increased cost of feed and it takes a
good one to bring $4,000 while the
other kind brings nothing until 1t Is
converted into hot dogs aEd-but
why surmise?
Eggs are going in the same dlrec-

men and the grain to produce them
costs S3.25 PER bag and still going

Butter fat is 47c per pound. Very
little lumber is being gotten ont
