Franklin K. Lane Tells
A Crowd Republicans
Have Failed to Point Out
Blemish in Party
PAYS TRIBUTE TO
LEADER’S PATIENCE
President’s Autobiography,
* If Ever Written. Will
Show the World He Had
Nerve, Says Speaker
(AmetaM Prru.)
SYRACUSE. N. Y.. Oct. 24.—With
^ the approach of the campaign's end
' the Republicans have failed to “find
r a flaw In Woodrow Wilson's armor,"
declared Franklin K. Lane. Secretary
of Interior, in an address here to
night. When Charles Evans Hughes
was nominated he said, he "felt a bit
nervous as to the outcome" of the
election because he felt that if there
had been any great mistakes by the
administration Mr. Hughes would re
veal them.
‘.jt. "He was the Republican's strongest
man and he has failed," the secretary
said. “The greatest men that the R'e
c publican party has drawn to it, not
only Mr. Hughes, but Mr. Taft and Mr.
Roosevelt and your own State leader.
Mr. Root, have been challenged by cir
cumstances to prove their right to the
title of statesmen and each has done
his best. But I ask you what plan,
what program, what policy have they
presented to the American people more
worthy, more practical, more American
than that which has been pursued by
Mr. Wilson?
'V. Have Failed In Work.
“They have done their best and they
have failed, not because they were
without ability or statesmanship, or
without an intense desire to serve their
country: they have failed because,
with all their genius they could do no
better than that plain, unassuming gen
tleman who, four years ago, was in
derision called a schoolmaster, but who
ha* now risen to be recognized as one
of the master minds of the world.”
Mr. Lane said he did not question
the light of the Republican party to
* iwetice fiem the su
preme bench” and put him at the pub
lic service “making him President of
the United States if. In' a time of na
tional crisis. It was necessary, if he
alone could save the country.”
Lenders Don’t Understand.
“The Republicans talk much of
Americanism,” he went on, “but this
campaign has shown that Republican
leaders do not understand America.”
Speaking of President Wilson's pa
/tlence in his foreign policy, he said:
"We axe at peave, when if we had been
Intemperate we would haxe been at
war,” and that we "have made no
friends among the belligerents because
people at war don't want judges, they
want partisans."
He added, "perhaps you think it did
not take courage to speak the direct
word when spies filled the country and
every mail brought threats of death
and every coward of a politician
prophesied political death.
Wilson Shows ‘‘Nerve.”
“If Woodrow Wilson lives to write
h^p autobiography or commits to other
hands the documentary history of his
administration, the world will know
that he had nerve as well as patriotism
and good sense.” , •
„ The secretary went on to say that
"he misunderstands the spirit of this
country who believes that by appeals,
no matter how artful or covert, to sec
tional prejudice, to religious prejudice,
to class prejudice or to race prejudice,
he can overthrow the generosity and
the Ideality of the people of this land."

A. C. Davis, chairman of the Cham

ing. and urged that all who could possi
bly do so attend.
Preliminary Meeting.
The meeting Saturday afternoon will

and all questions pertaining to the sev
eral subjects of interest to farming in

to ask.
Can Not Stag Over.
A telegram was received on Tuesday

board, advising him that it would be
impossible for them to remain in
Montgomery over Sunday as their pro
gram was arranged sometime ago and

changes in their original plans.
All State officials have been invited

urday afternoon and the one at the

One Bale of
Cotton Now
Worth $94.50
Five Hundred Pounds of
Staple and Its Seed Have
Total Value of $119.50
in Cash
Cotton sold on the Square Tuesday
at 18.90, which was forty points, or
* ,,ale- above Monday's level, and
l*i points, or $6.35 a bale in advance
of the price one week ago. At the
present price, a five hundred-pound
bale of cotton is worth $94.50. while
the seed from one bale brings the
total value to $119.5u.
The short crop, good spot demand,
anticipation by the trade of a short
ginning report Wednesday, the scram
ble between domestic mills and ex
porters, and the fact the spinners are
basing their prices on twenty cent cot
ton. are among the causes assigned by
local factors for the recent advances in
the price of the staple.
Prediet 20 Celts.
It Is believed that twqnty cent cot
ton will be reached within a very short
time, and no one la predicting that the
price' will stop advancing punctually
on the twenty cent mark.
It is argued that the demand for cot
ton will continue so long as the mills
can dispose of their product at a profit,
and all reports indicate that the profits
of the cotton manufacturers were never
larger than at present, as the price of
the manufactured article has been
raised even higher, proportionately,
than the price of raw cotton.
One of the most striking features in
the market of the last week or so is
the rapid advance In the price of spotrf
on the Liverpool market, an advance
which has been maintained In spite of
Increased Imports. Liverpool's cfindi
tlon furnishes the chief Indication of
the foreign demand for cotton, and
everything would seem to Indicate that
the demand is increasing at a rapid
rate.
Liverpool's Big Advance.
On Tuesday, the spot quotations on
the Liverpool market advanced 37
English points, equal to double that
amount In the American figures; while
Monday's market had shown an ad
I vance of 19 points over the last pre
ceding market day. On Tuesday, the
price of middling at Liverpool was
11.13 according to the English way
of reckoning, or 22.26 hi American
figures.
At this rate, a 500-pound bale of
cotton is worth $111.30. and Liverpool
buyers on Tuesday were paying $5.60
a bale more than on Saturday. This
advance has taken place in spite of un
usually large imports; for while the
amount of cotton Imported Tuesday
was 24,000 bales, and on Monday 32,
000 bales, the average dally Imports
during the Past week was only 10,000
bales These figures would appear to
indicate that there is at least no de
cline In the demand for the cotton from
the English mills.

TUSCUMBIA. ALA.. Oct. 24—Buried
beneath several hundred tons of dirt
and gravel, four well known citizens
of Colbert county and one negro met
a horrible death at the county's gravel
pit two miles west of Barton and
twelve miles west of Tuscumbia this
morning. Two others were injured, one
perhaps fatally.
The dead are *

The Injured are■

In addition a team of fine mules
were caught and killed and two new
wagons demolished
Physicians Too Late
Physicians were quickly hurried to
the scene from this city and Chero
kee but the five men were dead when
they arrived at the pit. The wounded
were given attention.
The county was getting gravel
from the pit for the repair of the Pike
road from Tuscumbia to Cherokee, un
der the direction of County Commis
sioner William Twitty. The latter,
however wasn’t present when the ac
cident occured this morning, having
started to his home at Althboro.
Hears Of Acedrat
He had Just reached Cherokee, six
miles west, when he learned of the
horrible catastrophe. He returned to
the scene immediately, The pit was not
more than fifteen feet high and a
hundred feet long and it seems that
the men had gone too far into the
hank, not realizing the danger, when
(he trash came.
All of the picks and shovels with
irhlrti they were working we.» cov
ered by the mass of dirt and gravel
and the negroes and others residing
nearby could be but little help until
other tools could be secured and by
the time this was done all hope of
rescue had been abandoned. In fact,
it is thought that the two Gibbs, Gadd
and the negro were crushed to death
instantly, as they were in the center
or the hank where the greatest quan
tity fell.
Tbora Marini Me*
Young. Thorn, who received a gash
in the back of his head and another
on his forehead, said he refused to go
into the pit this morning and warned
the other men that It was dangerous,
as he had thought he heard the bank
cracking and giving away. He stood
at the end of the bank and said that
Holcombe, who was standing by his
side, asked him for the pick he had
and said there was no danger.
He had barely handed the pick to
Holcomb when the caveln occurred.
Burch, who was also near Thorn,
wa* completely covered by the dirt
and rock, with the exception of one
hand which he managed to push
through, and young Thorn rescued
him.
Hen Well Known.
The accident iu one of the most hor
rible that ever hae occurred in this
county. Xo citizens of Colbert coun
ty were better known than Squire
Gibbs and Ous Gadd, they having spent
most of their lives In the county and
being well known by the majority of
the people of Colbert.
The funerals will be held from the
homes of the dead men tomorrow.

IRKRUX. Oct. 24.—(By Wire- '
less t© Sayville.)—Commenting on
the victory of Field Marshal Von
ttukensen'e armies in the Rou
manian province of Dobrduja, the
military critic of the Overseas
Xe»? Agency writes.
"The capture of Constansa by Bul
garian, German and Turkish troops
under command of Field Marshal
Von Mackensen is the hardest
Ihlow Roumania has received dur
ing the entire campaign.
'Through it the Roumanians
have lost their largest seaport, a
port noted in international trade
for its shipments of grain and
petroleum.
Breaks ( •■■uniratios.
Simultaneously the Roumanians
lost their main line of communica
tion with Russia by way of the
Black Sea, a loss which is bound
to have a far reaching conse
| -Questoe for Roumania in carrying
i on her military operations.
Russia has been able to send
to her ally by way of Constanaa.
an large steamers, material and
men which then found their way
into interior Roumania on the
main railroad line from Constan
aa to Bucharest. The marine
transports are now limited in
their operations to Sulina and the
Itannbe ports where only vessels
of small tonnage can dock and
unload. In addition to this gen
eral influence on Roumanian war
fare, however, the loss of Con
sianza is of decisive importance
regards the military situation
in Dobrudja.
Tfotoa. Hold Kaitread.
The railroad Hue from Conaian
sa to Tchernavoda Is already pari*
ly in the hands of the allied Ger
mans. Turks and Bulgarians. East
of Murfatlar this line already has
been crossed by attacking armies
and von Mackensen’s left wing is
approaching Tchernavoda. For
thes^ reasons the section of the
railroad between Murfatlar and
Tchernavoda is also apparently
without value to the Roumanians.
Thus the quick transport of
troops and artillery to especially
threatened points of the Dobrudja
front is rendered impossible. Fur
thermore an excellent base of op
epatrois has been taken from the
Roumanians and Russians.
Speedy, Complete Defeat.
The encircling movement by Teu
tonic forces at Hermannstadt
changed the Transylvanian adven
ture of the Roumanians into a
speedy and complete defeat. In
the same way the capture of Con
8tania and the interruption of rail,
road communication for the Rou
manians constitutes a decisive
blow to them in the Dobrudja
theatre. The advance planned by
the Roumanians and Russians
through Dobrudja against the Bul
garians and the line of communi
cation between Sofia and Constan
tinople has thus been frustrated.’*

The board of education has declared
for a half holiday in the Montgomery
schools Wednesday in order that all
the pupils can go to the Statewide
Livestock Show during the day.
The grammar grades and the high
school classes are delighted, and
hundreds of the boys and girls are
looking forward with pleasure to see
ing the fine stock on exhibition. The
directors of the Livestock Show have
reduced the admission price from
twenty-five to ten cents for all of the
High School pupils today. Grammar
grades pupils will be admitted free.
It is thought also that the private
schools of Montgomery will give a
half holiday so that the pupils mav
see the stock show. The directors of
the enow will be on hand to escort
the boys and girls about the gropnds
and answer all questions, of which
there will be many.
An Educational Event
The idea of the board of education
and the heads of the private schools
Is that the Livestock Show is the
biggest educational event that has
thken place In Montgomery in many
T**rs. They realise that as the bottom
of this whole country has to be live
stock the younger generation should
learn something of the great subject
that affects every woman, man and
child in Alabama.
They want the boys and girts to
learn something of the basis on which
business and society must rest if they
are to progress. They want them to
learn that livestock in the basis of
soil fertility, and that .soil fertility is
the gauge of the wealth and progress
of any aection of country. Many of the
boys and girls already are interested
and more of them will know the real
meaning of good livestock after a vis
it to the show grounds.
Rotary Day
Wednesday will be Rotary and Fig
Club day at the Livestock Show and
the members of the Rotary Club will
go out in a body to the show and
spend some time looking over the cat
tle. hogs. Sheep, and horses. The fol
