CONVICT BEATEN AT
TURPENTINE CAMP
Inspector of Convict Board in Report
Declares Negro’s Account
Greatly Exaggerated
Montgomery, May 20.—(Special.)—Dr.
3. M. Austin, physical Inspector of the
state convict hoard, submitted a re
port to Governor O'Neal this afternoon
on his investigation of the charges pre
ferred by Thomas Rose, a negro of
Mobile county, to the effect that during
his service at the turpentine camp of
Huxford & Owens, near Atmore, he had
been severely beaten and had sus
tained a blow on his head which caused
the partial loss of his eyesight.
Dr. Austin said in his report to the
governor that the report had been
greatly exaggerated . that while the ne
gro had been beaten his Impaired eye
sight had not resulted from ill treat
ment and declared that - the negro's
treatment as a whole was not of a rep
rehensible nature.

Much Discussion
Talladega, May 20.—(Special.)—Congress
man Richmond P. Hobson spoke to a
crowded house at the courthouse Mon
day evening. His speech was along edu
cational lines, and general social and
hygienic advance. He made no reference
to woman suffrage or prohibition.
It can be fairly considered that the
address fairly launched his campaign for
i ho Senate, as the date was of his own j
making, and there was no particular pur- i
pose in the speech outside of politics.
Miss Elizabeth Cunningham of Bir
mingham gave a charming concert, as
sisted by Mrs. Cox, reader at the library
Monday evening.
The sheriff raided the office of the
Southern Express company Monday after
noon and seized a barrel of bottled beer
shipped to a colored man living north
of the city whose name was Charley
Dickinson. It had been stated to ih-<
sheriff that the barrel contained 100 pints
of whisky.

tively five and six yea-3 old.
The various announcements for gover
nor has caused much discussion on this
theme in Talladega. As it now stands
it is impossible to predict who will lead
in the race in Talladega, except to say
that It is not likely that Comer will have
any landslide In Talladega. All the can

COTTON MILLS OF
FEARING TROUBLE
Depreciation of Hundred
Million in Stocks in the
Past Four Years
MAKING EFFORTS TO
MEET NEW TARIFF
Claim is Made That New England
May Make Lower Grades of Cloth
Now Confined to Southern
Mills
/ ______
By HOI, I,AND
New York, May -’0,—(Special.)—of the
accuracy of the statement recently com
piled which shows that stocks represent
resenting New England cotton manufac
turing corporations have decreased In
market value something over $100,0)0,1)00
In the past three and a half years there
ran he no doubt. The statistics upon
which these estimates are based are mut
ters of record. But the presumption occa
Bioned by the publication of these rtg
tires at this time that the depreciation is
due to the tarlfT agtlation Is only in part
correct.
The situation in New England Is re
garded as menacing yew England pros
perity. There cannot he constant depre
dation of this kind without ultimately
bringing disaster to New England and,
through the reaction, to many parts of
the country.
It has been possible to obtain from very
high authority today tome explanation of
this condition in Now England nnd some
forecast of future conditions. A pare of
this steady (iepreciation in the stocks of
New England cotton manufacturing cor
porations is easily attributable to a very
large falling off In the demand for the
commodities produced by many of the
New England mills. This decreased de
mand is traceable directly to the modern
fashions which rule so imperatively the
market for some kinds of textile goods.
The figures show that there has been a
falling off in the demand for cotton goods
of the kind utilized by women for apparel
of"’anywhere from one-third to one-half.
At present there ate no indications that,
the old demand caused by a change in the
fashions will be renewed in the near fu
ture.
The cotton manufacturers in New Eng
land after a while discovered that they
could buy cotton goods of this kind manu
factured elsewhere cheaper than tiitj/
could make them.
Just as this precarious condition began
to be severely felt by New England mill
manufacturers there came agitation for
radical don ward changes in the tariff In
some kinds of cotton goods. This inevi
tably tended still further to depreciate the
market value of cotton mills corporation
stocks.
Who Holds the Stock
this depreciation < annot be justly me
basis of criticism for the mill owners.
They are the persons who have most se
verely felt the depreciation. Wages have
not been cut nor has there been to any
extent a reduction in time of the opeia
tion of the mills. Cotton mill corporation
stock is peculiar l*i the sense that jc is
almost exclusively hold by estates, by
families and by citizens of moderate
means. Very little of this stock is aver
thrown upon the market. The quota
tions for it are usually secured through
the enforced sale of stock held by estates
by order of the courts. Therefore there
can be no manipulation of stock, nor, in
fact, has that charge ever been made.
The depreciation, therefore, represents a
fair estimate of the present values of
these stocks compared with the value in
1909 and earlier. The $100,000,</00 loss has
fallen exclusively upon th«s owners of
these stocks
This is the condition which has justified
the management of tne of the greatest
cotton mills of Fall River completely to
shut down. Shutting; down means that
stockholders as well as employes are to
be subject to loss. The great print works
at Fall River are still running. It seems
to be now the opinion of the abler execu
tive managements of the New England
and some of the New* York cotton mill-4,
as well as one or two in the south, that
the situation can best be met by contin
uing the operation of the mills at full ft we
and without any attempt to cut wages.
Then if, at last, it is discovered that this
method is cutting very deeply and is per
manently threatening the capitul which
is invested in these mills they will be
shut down completely. Furthermore, it
seems now to be the opinion of these men
—although it will not lead to any formal
agreement among them—that it is not ex
pedient for the owners of these coftf n
mills to make any vigorous protests
against the tariff schedule to those wno
have the Underwood bill In charge. This
feeling is due to »hc impression, firs;,
that protests will be unheeded and. sec
ond. to the fear that the manufacturers
will he liable to the cliarge made by those
who have the tariff measure in hand of
acting not in sincerity, and therefore not
being justified in making protests.
It may he that after a time, and before
the manufacturers fee! compelled to sh it
down completely and possibly to mnl.e
other investments of their capital, a
change will come, anc* the market values
of these stocks will at last Vie so greatly
appreciated that the ?1W>,000,000 lost upon
the market value of these stocks sine*'
1909 will be regained. But if a sincere and
thorough test shows that this recovery
cannot he gained then a most appalling
industrial condition i* likeiv to be deve’
oped in New Englawl If it is developed
it cannot fail more or less harmfully to
affect other Interest*?.
A Possible Change
Already some of the New England cot
ton manufacturers are beginning to won
der whether they may not be compelled
to change the quality and style of their
commodities. The low grade cotton m:!ls
of the south are presumably fairly well
protected by the rates written into the
Underwood bill, it mi;y be that some of
the New England 'mils and some of the
great cotton mills of New York state will
find it worth while to take advantage of
this low grade cotton schedule and b?*
gin the manufacture or that kind of cot
ton cloth. If they do, they will being
their mills into cnupetltton with many
of the southern cotton mills. This will
upset what has been regarded as a
happy phase of cotton manufacture In tlie
United States distinguished by the man
ufacture of low grade cotton doth in 'he
south, while the New England mills were
occupied chiefly with ihe manufacture f
high grade cloth.
The Present Condition
At present it is the shareholders in the
New England and New York state cotton
mills who are meeting with losses, partly
due to a change in the demand for high
grade cotton goods and partly due to the
apprehension of the effect of the contem
plated tariff upon high grade cotton man
ufacture. Not yet to any considerable ex*
'cut have the wage earners suffered by
reason of this apprehension.

PRESIDENTS OF FIVE
NORNIALSELECTED
Board Re-Elects Applicants
in Montgomery
ONE DID NOT APPLY
President of Normal at Moundviile
Will Be Chosen Later—Normal
Faculties Will Be Elected
on June 10
Montgomery, May 20.—(Special.)—Presi
dents of five of the state normal school?
of the state were elected today by the
normal school hoard after a brief ses
sion. The heads of all the normal schools
were re-elected with the exception of
President B. F. Smith of the Moundviile
Normal school, who was not an appli
cant for reappointment. The board will
not take up the election of a president
for the Moundviile school until later.
The following is the list of president
re-elected by the normal school board:
Dr. James K. Powers of the Florence
Normal school; Prof. C. W. Daugette.
Jacksonville Normal school; Trof. E. M.
Shackelford, Troy Normal school; Prof.
G. W. Brock, Livingston Normal school,
and Prof. B. B. Baker, Daphne Normal
school.
The board called a meeting for June 10
to olect the faculties of the various nor
mal schools. At this meeting the presi
dents of the various schools will confer
with the board and make recommenda
tions relative to the teachers to be elect
ed, together with other matters in con
nection with the schools.
Reports from the five normal school
presidents who were re-elected Tuesday
indicate that each of the institutions has
had a most successful year, with pros
pects for considerable advancement next
season.
In reference to the Moundviile Normal
school the board passed a resolution to
the effect that no president or faculty
of this institution shall be elected, nor
any provision made for the continuance
of this school, until proper title is made
to the state to all the property used for
or connected with the operation of the
school. Tiie title to the property of the
Normal school at Moundviile has caused
considerable thought on the part of the
normal school board, and if the title to
the property is not cleared the chances
are that tlie school will not be reopened.
Those present at the meeting of the
normal school board Tuesday were Gov
ernor O’Neal. Superintendent of Educa
tion Henrv J. Willingham, W. W. Laven
der of Centerville, Capt. W. T. Sheehan
of Montgomery, Robert B. Evins of

BIRMINGHAM MAN
WEDS IN GREENSBORO
J. VV. Morrow and Miss Lilly Martin
Married Yesterday Morning in
Baptist Church
Greensboro, May 20.—(Special.)—J. W.
Morrow of Birmingham and Mies Lilly
Ethel Martin, daughter of William Mar
tin, sheriff of Hale county, were mar
ried here at 9 o'clock this morning at
the Baptist church, the Rev. J. A. Beale
officiating. Miss Jessie H. Martin, sis
ter of the bride, was maid of honor, and
Will Morrow, brother of the groom, was
best man.
The bride, who is one of Greensboro’s
prettiest girls, wore a becoming taupe
silk poplin with hat to match and car
ried a bouquet of bride roses and lilies
of the valley. Mr. and Mrs. Morrow
left immediately after the ceremony for
an extended trip east, after which they
will make their home In Birmingham.
Those who attended the wedding were:
Ml-, and Mrs. J. W. Burgtn, John rrude,
J. H. Taylor, Fred Moore and Jason
McLaughlin.
need no tariff bars. One of there indus
tries is the manufacture of cotton goods.
For the sake of Illustration It may be
assumed that the average number of tha
yarn manufactured in the United State?
is about 20’s and the average number in
Great Britain 50’s. These figures represent
the difference between the lower grad?
cotton yarns and the high grade. The
cotton manufacturers generally figure
that yarn three numbers finer means r.n
increase of 1 cent p* r pound, if, there
fore. the average number in Great Britain
is 50's and the average number in tht
United States is 20’*, the difference in la
bor per pound between the average pro
duction in the United States and that of
Great Britain Is about 10 cents It is a
familiar axiom of cotton manufacturing
that the finer the number tlie larger th •
percentage of labor versus the raw ma
terials. Fabrics composed of finer yarn
require more operators than those com
posed of the coarser yarns. The finer
numbers which are manufactured in Eng
land call for higher pay per pound than
does the average pound product in the
United States. Therefore the only real
test, according to the view' of the cotton
manufacturers, is the cost of labor per
pound for a like number of the yarn or
for a fabric composed of the same yarns
in both countries. Upon this basis of
computation it Is believed that the wage?
of tlie United States can be shown to be
double those paid in Great Britain and
often three times as much. Furthermore,
all the fine cotton goods in the United
States arc manufactured chiefly on ma
chinery imported from England. » !u
only improvement or labor saving device*,
in cotton machinery that is in use in
tills country Is the automatic loom, which
does reduce the cost of weavin'*- This
the cotton manufacturers si"* * es not
offset the lower w’ages for weavers in
Great Britain.
Furthermore, in the cotton mills in this
country the efficiency of the labor is very
inferior to that of Great Britain. Her*
almost all of the operative work is done
by immigrants or tbf children of immi
grants and the cotton manufacturers are
compelled to have the machinery almost
fool proof owing to the lack of skill of
the operators. In Great Britain weaving
is n life work from generation to gen
eration, and for tha: l canon the English
weavers obtain a ve»'v high degree of effi
ciency, which is impossible in this coun
try.

Weather Conditions
Birmingham, May 20.—(7 p. m.)-There
lias been but slight change in barometric
conditions during the past 24 hours over
the country generally and as a result,
there has been a continuation of the
weather conditions shown Monday night
in nearly all sections. General rains con
tinue over the Mississippi valley, the
plains states and the eastern slope of
the Rockies, while unsettled and cloudy
weather prevails over the remainder of
the Plateau sections. Fair weather pre
vailed over the Atlantic an..l Pacific
slopes. Owing to the extent of the “low”
over the interior sections, there has been
a slight but general rise in temperatures
since Monday night, except in the north
ern plains states and western lakes.
In the cotton belt thunder showers oc
curred in all the gulf states. Cloudy
weather prevailed along the south At
lantic coast, but no rains occurrefl. The
only heavy rains was reported at Shreve
port and slightly exceeded one inch. The
weather has been slightly cooler in most
sections since Monday night, due more
to the cooling influence of the thunder
showers and cloudiness than to general
causes. Unsettled v’eather with showers
seems likely to continue in this section
Wednesday.
