LETTERS TO EDITOR
Woman Suffrage Scriptural Quotation
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
Some days ago you published n very la
bored article, in which an excerpt from
Genesis was quoted, by the writer, to
holster up woman suffrage. The quota
tion from Genesis 1:26 was: "To them"
(that is male and female) humanity "gave
the dominion."
In Genesis 2:22. we have the account of
the creation of woman and no word there
after of any Joint dominion.
If we could venture into the domain
of conjecture that this world was intend
ed to he the everlasting abode of Adam
and his posterity, with no death to inter
vene, then might the dominion be co
equal, hut the woman was flattered and
the ungallant man blamed her for his
disobedience and with it came the sen
tence, Genesis 3:16, "Unto the woman he
said, I will greatly pultiply thy sorrow
and thy conception: In sorrow’ thou shalt
bring forth children; and thy desire shall
be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
thee.” Yours truly,
GEORGE TT. ROGERS.

First Sight pf Stonewall »
. the of Tne Age-Herald:
It has been more than 50 years since I
caw for the first time Stonewall Jackson.
It w’as in a photograph gallery in the
old towrn of Winchester. Va., located In
the Shenandoah valley not far from Har
per's Ferry.
This man, who was destined to perform
unheard of movements, and achievements
upon the battlefield was in company with
ids adjutant general. He was looking at
the different styles of pictures hanging
upon the walls, and seeing one that he
liked he asked the artist, "How long will
I have To wait?" receiving the reply and
looking at his wTatch, said to his adjutant,
"I cannot wait," and w’ith a bow left
the room. If this artist is still living and
should his eye fall upon these lines he
w ill remember the incident and the soldier
boy wiio was in his gallery at the time. I
have been asked to tell of General Jack
eon’s appearance as I remember it then.
Fifty years—but there is no incident in
my life that I remember better, and more
fondly cherish. He looked a soldier. He
was a person of good height, and fitted
for action, with a strong and muscular
frame. He was awkw’ard in his move
ments and w’ould have appeared ill at ease
in the company of refined and cultured
society. But this same person g little
later on in his old faded uniform would
have been the toast of any drawing room.
He had a fine forehead, and his eye flashed
like that of an eagle. In fact, his entire
fa<*e curried in it marks of thought and
genius. I never have seen a true portrait
of Stonewall Jackson; that is to say, aB
1 saw* him in that picture gallery, and
some of the artists and the publishers
should apopogize for making this man ap
pear as a ruffian. The world acknowl
edges him as a great military genius, per
haps the greatest of all the ages, and he
had as good a heart as ever beat in hu
man bosom. General Jackson in his cam
paign employed strategy. He had just
made one of his flanking movements at
Cbancellorsville. w'here he fell upon the
right wing of the enemy and ground it to
pieces, and then fell upon the center, and
on this spot in the wilderness, close to
where the okl Chancellorvllle tavern stood,
12 miles west of Fredericksburg, this won
derful man received his mortal wound, at
night from his own troops, to whom he
had given orders in person to fire at the
noise of the suspected approach of the
nemy. He lived a few days and went
away. These are some of my recollections
of the appearance and exploits of this
man. I am glad I saw him in the flesh,
and knowing the purity of his soul, I
would be glad to see him and he with him
^ In the spirit. J. LAWLER DARBY.
Boll Weevil Problem
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
Within the next two years the Mexican
cotton boll weevil will spread over Ala
bama and destroy three-fifths of her cot
ton crop. The cotton crop is not only
the ready money crop of the south, It is
the money crop of the nation.
Because of this the cotton farmer
should be a proper recipient both of state
aid and of national protection. With the
boll w’ecvil it w’ill be found very difficult j
even with the greatest diligence and the
Strictest economy to raise cotton profita
bly. Under the changed conditions which
the boll weevil brings the farmer will be
I KEITH VAUDEVILLE I
forced not only to change his methods,
but in many instances to give up the at
tempt to grow cotton. It takes both time
and money to put on its feet a new en
terprise of so vast a scale as the reorgani
zation of farming in the south will be.
To successfully change the present system
Df farming, the cotton farmer must have
cheap money and long time money. 1
know' of no other way for the farmer to
Set this money except through state or
federal aid, preferably through the joint
[lid of state and nation.
1 shall then ask the -next legislature to
submit to tlie people of Alabama a bond
Issue, say of 115,000,000 or $20,000,000. The ,
money from the sale of these bonds to be'
loaned to real farmers living on their j
lands to 50 per cent of the value of their
lands, the money to be loaned on 20 Jo 36
years’ time, to be paid back at the option
Df the borrower at any time he wishes
to do so. If we can get the national
government to indr^rse these bonds for
Alabama, the money can be loaned the
farmers at 5 per cent interest and at a
profit to the state.
Gentlemen of 4he state and of the press
cf Alabama, d scuss this proposal, not
riproariously, Ij ut dispassionately, for I
believe that It is a step forward in the
Ujarphj of progi psb. Sincerely,
, JSO. V KWIJ3B.S.

Pleased With South
ro the Editor of The Age-Herald.
Your humble servant has crossed the
Dcean many times and traveled many i
states, and two years ago I was in the
Magic City for a few days, and it im
pressed me so that I returned again
January 16 last and remained here since,;
und am only sorry I cannot remain here
longer. When T return north I will not
be backward nor bashful to tell the truth
about the sunny south and the southern
hospitality I received.
The Tutwiler, the Jefferson County
bank, the Terminal station, the street
car system, speak for themselves.
Best wishes to all.

Educational Efficiency
The United States commissioner of edu
cation recently urged that the schools
and colleges of the country should be run
12 months In the year with reasonable
and frequent vacations, both as a mat
ter of administrative efficiency and as
a means of saving time and money In
educating the youth of the land. Educa
tion Is largely a matter of habit, and
for the formation of habits It Is essential
that the training be continuous and not
broken by long Intervals of inactivity.
It Is noteworthy that parents are rcalls
I lng the Importance of keeping children
profitably employed during the long sum
mer months, and summer camps and sum
mer schools are becoming more and more
numerous to meet this growing Remand.
The University of Chicago Biased the
way In American university education by
running the university 12 months In the
year, dividing the calendar Into four
quarters. It has been found that the sum
mer quarter is the most largely attended
and the moBt profitable and pleasant.
The Marion Institute Is ax noteworthy
example in the lower south of this pro
gressive movement. The magnificent plant
at Marlon, valued at *150,000, Is now be
ing In service the year round, and the
summer session gives promise of bene
fiting large numbers of young men and
young women who desire to utilise all
their time In preparing for efficient liv
ing.
Signs Trade Intrusting Gov
ernment to Crown
Prince Alexander
Belgrade, Servla. June 24.-King Peter I
of Servla was reported today to have
abdicated the throne in favor of his sec
ond son, Prince Alexander.
The King left Belgrade in the afternoon
for the baths at Vranyanya, In the south
ern part of Servla, and a note Issued by
the official agency in announcing the
King’s departure, did not say in its mem
orandum he had addicated, but confined
itself to the statement that his majesty
had signed an irade intrusting the govern
ment of Servla during his absence from
the capital to Crown Prince Alexander.
King Peter, who is 70 years of age, as
cended the Servian throne June 16, 1903,
after the murder of King Alexander. At
12:30 o’clock on the night of June 10
about 40 Servian army officers entered the
royal palace, burst open the apartments of
King Alexander and Queen Draga and
shot their majesties dead.
On the same occasion several Servian
ministers were assassinated and alto
gether during the night 54 persons were
killed or wounded.
The King who has just abdicated was In
Geneva at the time and he afterward
denied all knowledge of the conspiracy.
His majesty never caused the punishment
of the regicides, who retained their rank
in the Servian army.
King Pe^er, until his accession, led a
very adventurous life. He studied In
Switzerland and then went to the French
Military academy at St. Cyr. He partici
pated in the Franco-German war as an
officer of the foreign legion.
For many years he is said to have en
gaged In conspiracies against King Milan,
of Servla. but for 45 years he himself
never set foot on Servian soil until he had
been elected King by the Servian Parlia
ment.
The new King, Alexander, was born
December 4, 1888. He has hitherto beei
very popular among the Servians. He
was educated in St. Petersburg and is of
i scholarly and refined temperament.

1913 COTTON CROP
. ..
—
Will Be Largest Ever
Grown With Exceptins
of That of 1911
Washington, June 24.—Final figures
on the 1913 cotton crop announced to
day by the census bureau place It as
the largest In the United States, or the
largest grown with the exception of
that of 1911.
The estimate of the total value of
the crop at the same time shows it was
the most valuable ever produced, It, be
ing worth $1,043,060,000.
The quantity of cotton ginned from

Attention
Look For This Label
When You Buy Your
Palm Beach
SUIT
NO Palm Beach suit is genuine without this
label, and many so-called Palm Beach Suits
are cheap, shrinkable imitations.
THE original Palm Beach cloth is pre-shrunk in
thread form and in its making gives you a
porus, dust-proof, durable and washable
fabric.
THE word Palm Beach is a copyrighted name
given this fabric by the Goodall Worsted Co.
of Sanford, Maine, and we are glad to co
operate in protecting their rights as well as those
of the people of Birmingham.
BLACH’S Palm Beach Suits are, we have reason
to believe, a little better than the ordinary.
They are of a higher grade fabric, are better
made and they FIT AROUND NECK AND
SHOULDERS.
