NORTH GERMAN LLOYD LINER
HAS HARD TIME MAKING PORT
Baltimore, September 'JO.—The North
German IJoyd liner Neckar docked here
today after dodging back and forth on
the Atlantic for seven weeks. Captain
Hinsoh reported that there were few days
the vessel had been free from pursuit
by a French or English warship from
the time she left Havana, Cuba, for
Bremen, August 25. All the time she
■teamed along without lights. The last
two weeks the food supply was low and
the men had only half rations each day.
An inventory of the vessel’s coal bunkers
after her arrival showed there were only
about 80 tons of coal left.
The Neckar sailed from Baltimore late
in July for Galveston, Test.
She started on her return trip to Brem
en and had put into Havana before war
was declared.
Captain Hlnsch determined to make a
dash for Bremen. When 800 miles off the
coast of Scotland the Neckar was dis
covered by a British cruiser which started
in pursuit. Captain Hlnsch swung south
ward and after a long chase threw the
cruiser off the track. While making for
America the Neckar was forced back
again almost to mid-Atlantic by a British
cruiser.
Both coal and food were running low
and Captain flinsch started for Baltimore.
On the way up the coast the vessel en
countered several foreign warships but
was comparatively untroubled as she kept
just within the three-inile limit.
Three days ago the British cruiser i,an
caster was within 20 miles of the Neckar
but the German vessel slipped past the
cruiser in the night.
The Neckar carried a cargo of wheat
and her crew numbered 1H»3.
LEADERS BELIEVE
To Resume Consideration of
Rivers and Harbors Bill
Today—War Revenue
Bill Taken Up
Washington, September 2o.—After US
months of continuous session, the way
ahead Is seen for adjournment. Unless
the European war should present new
tangles, administration leaders tonight
said, they could see no reason why ad
journment could not he taken by October
15.
The Senate tomorrow will resume con
sideration of the rivers and harbors bill
with prospects growing brighter for fur
ther compromise. Even some democrats
have grow’ii half-hearted in their support
of the measure in the present financial
stringency. President Wilson lias held
up a warning hand against any legisla
tion not absolutely necessary.
The House this week will take up the
war revenue bill, which was completed
yesterday by democrats of the ways and
means committee. The measure as agreed
on would tax beer, wines, gasoline, bank
ers, brokers, amusement proprietors and
levy a stamp tax on commercial instru
ments with checks and drafts eliminated.
.Majority Header Underwood believes he
can pilot the bill through within a week.
The bill will be sent in tomorrow. The
consideration will be begun Tuesday.
Trust legislation is about concluded.
The trade committee bill awaits the Pres
ident's signature, who Is delaying signing
It until the Clayton antitrust bill also
reaches him. The conference report on
that measure will be completed tomor
row. The disputed point of the measure
--to be determined tomorrow concerns the
amendment by Senator Reid to give the
eourts authority, when corporations aro
oonvicted, to appoint receivers and sell
property of corporations to persons who
would restore competitive conditions.
The House this week will pass the Fer
ris bill to provide for a national system
of public land leases.

of Commerce were turned down 12
times in succession at the Farmers*
Union warehouse here Saturday in the
attempt to buy at 10 cents, a large per
centage of the farmers now being dis
inclined to Bell below 12 cents. About
F,0 bales were taken off the market at
10 cents here this week, and I. E. Wat
Fcn, circuit clerk, states that bo will
buy 60 bales next wreek at 10 cents if

WAR OFFICE SILENCE
NAS PARjSNERVOUS
Reassured, However, by the
Steady Files of Prisoners
of War
Paris. September 2U.~ <t>:55 p. m.)
After becoming accustomed to good
news during the days of the German
withdrawal, Paris was made nervous
through the silence of the war office.
Now the capital is reassured by the
steady tile of prisoners arriving from
the zone of action. Saturday 1500
prisoners were brought here. Friday
1200 arrived, and on the preceding
days since the Germans first fell back
loot) to 1500 has been the daily aver
age. More than 10,000 prisoners are
here.
It is insisted here that there are
continued indications that General Von
Kluck’s army is in a critical situa
tion.
British officers who returned from
the zones of battle last night, silent,
under orders concerning the details of
the lighting. Speaking in a general
way one said:
“Tlie official statements of our suc
cesses are much below the truth. This
has been true ever since the retire
ment of the Germans from the region
of the Marne.”
The bombardment of the Cathedral
of Rheims has raised a strong protest,
as it is declared the action cannot be
justified by any necessity of the war.

j had found the genuine Mexican boll
weevil in the cotton fields around Mos
sy Grove, which is only four miles from !
Troy. No weevils were found any near- j
or the city. *
Dr. Hinds stated that the present sea- !
»cn was favorable to the propagation 1
of the w'eevil and doubtless they w ould j
increase rapidly before the end of the
present season. He/ said that he did
l ot think that next year will be a dis- >
astro us one to the Pike crop, but that
i he year follow ing would be a bad one.
lit spoke highly of L. J. Hawley, the
new’ farm demonstration agent, and
advised the farmers of Pike in fighting
the weevil, to give him their hearty co
operation. He is familiar with boll
weevil fighting and will tell them how’
to proceed.

Farmers Quick to Find That
Diversification Puts Money
in Their Pockets
Washington, September 20.—(Special.)
Of the nine “cotton states" carrying the
heaviest share of the nation's war burden,
congressmen from Alabama opine that
their commonwealth is in the most strat
egic, economic position, due to its early
grasp of the lesson that “the south can
not live by cotton alone.” Scrambling
metaphors somewhat, Alabama has not
put all its eggs in one basket, but has,
several irons in the fire.
"If the southern states were not in debt
today for the very produce they now are
beginning to raise,” said Representative
Burnett, "they would be able to carry
their cotton crop without assistance.
Even at that, however, Alabama as the
first state to learn the lesson of diversi
fied crops is in a far better position than
otherwise it would have been, and is tar
better off than some of her sister com
monwealths.’’
Diversification of crops is the lesson of
the European war to the south, as the
members from Alabama see it. Not that
they would abandon cotton, but Mr. Bur
nett for one believes that the cotton
acreage can be reduced appreciably with
out reducing the crop in proportion; mod
ern methods and scientific work on the
plantations, he opines, will more than
make up in production what may^e cur
tailed in acreuge.
"Let us cultivate cotton, by all mean s’’
says Mr. Burnett, "but also let us I also
our own cattle and garden truck, instead
of purchasing, these for more money than
we receive for our cotton. No more
profitable crops can be suggested than
corn and hay und alfalfa, and of these
Alabama can raise far more than her
proportionte shre. So, let us show our
verstiiity, instead v of being 'specialists’
and devoting all our interest to cotton.”
And in support of his argument Mr.
Burnett cites the case of a boy in his
district who raised 212 bushels ^ corn t »
an acre, at a cost of 9 cents a bushel, but
was beaten for a prize by a boy in Rep
resentative Heflin’s district who raised 224
bushels at a cost of 17 cents a oush il.
"Which shows, incidentally,” remarks
Mr. Burnett, "that Alabama raises a fine
crop of boys, also.”
With the price of corn hovering around
$1 a bushel, hay about $20 a ton, and four
crops of alfalfa In sight each year, Mr.
Burnett suggests that Alabama might
make both ends meet with these products
alone .and bank the money for her cotton
as a net profit.
Above all, however, the members from
Alabama have great faith in the modest
truck farm, and believe that this n 1
try will help tremendously to enrich tin
state. In more than one county, *hc>
aver, strawberries appear as early as in
Florida, and are found to be a p rod Iff!
• usly profitable crop. Garden produce <*f
all kinds can be shipped to distant point1'
and be sold at highly remunerative pric •*,
j while even the smallest farmer can rais'>
cattle und pigs under auspices far mot *
favoralbe than is possible in scores of
other states in the union.
“Bruins are the best fertilizer ri the
world," says Mr. Burnett. "Brains '-an
rais* more cotton, more garden .ruck,
more hay and corn and alfalfa and cot
ton than any other fertilizer ever devise !
and the people of Alabama have an un
limited supply of the best brains in the
world. So, 1 hope und expect to see them
show ever increasing interest in farm
ing. without losing their interest in cot
ton.”
To which several other members of
the delegation murmured "Amen!" In fer
vent confidence.
B. H. COnPER FAVORS
JONES FOR PLACE
| former Political Rival Says City Is
in Need of Business Man of
Jones' Ability
There was a time In the political his
tory of Birmingham when B. II. Cooper's
most strenuous rival was Harry Jones.
When they served together on the alder
manic hoard, they were eternally differ
ing. And then their political antagonism
had a fine opportunity to vent itself in
their campaign for president of the city
council. Each made the fur fly in that
memorable campaign.
There lmd been until yesterday more or
less speculation on the part of those
whose indulgence In politics !s limited
to the casting of their ballots as to the
position of Mr. Cooper in regard to the
candidacy of Mr. Jones and James Weath
erly for associate member of the city
commission. Yesterday, one more curi
ous that his fellows sought out Mr.
Cooper and asked him point blank. He
immediately replied that he would vote
for Harry Jones.
"Mr. Jones,” he added, "Is highly
capable. He is a business man and the
city is in need of a business man. And
though in the past Mr. Jones and T dif
fered, L never doubted his sincerity of
purpose, 1 never questioned his honesty.” *
Fair Successful
Hartselle, September 20.—(Special.*
The Morgan county fair which closed
with Saturday night’s shows and ex
hibits was the most successful, both
financially and otherwise, in its his
tory. The stockholders purchased 50
acres of land just outside the city
limits last year and have graded a
mile race track, built a grandstand, a
house for the farm exhibits and many
other improvements besides offering
j many generous prizes in order to stim
ulate the farmers, boys and girls and
housekeepers in the production of win
ners for these prizes. Much praise is
I given Mrs. J. B. Orr, Mrs. Clyde Sharp
and Mrs. L. C. Day for the arAstic ar
rangement of the display of needle
work as well as the arrangement of
the booths exhibiting fruits and other
farm products. All records In attend
ance were broken Friday and Satur
day, the crowds on those days number
ing between 3000 and 5000; 4000 gate

Steel Trade Finds Greatest
Outlet in Agricultural
Districts
—A_
New York, September 20.—The increas
ing necessity for business in steel pro
ducts was reflected last week in the
willingness of some mills to make price
concessions on bars, plates, shapes' sheets,
tin plate and billets for domestic as well
as for foreign shipment. All mills, how
ever, were not equally anxious for orders
at price sacrifices and this resulted ir
more or less irregularity.
The falling off in business was most
marked in those lines where credit le
relied on to facilitate transactions. Wire
mills and other branches of trade that
find their greatest outlet in the agricul
tural districts were relatively active, but
as a whole the industry suffered from in
adequate orders and a decrease in spe
cifications.
The Steel corporation produced ingots
at the rate of 62 per cent of capacity,
and independent steel companies’ opera
tions averaged 10 per cent less. Some
plants had less than HO per cent of the
ngot capacity active and further con
traction in output seems inevitable.
The fabricating shops experienced a
iearth of new orders. The largest orders
were for apartment houses and loft build
ings in New York city, calling for 3100
Lons of shapes. Export orders were not
conspicuous, although some additional
sales of wire rods, nails, and wire were
made and more Inquiries were received
for sheet bars, billets, rails structural
shapes, tin plate and sheet.

Ten Counties of the State

Go “Dry”
Richmond, September 20.—Virginia
voters will ballot on Tuesday on tha
| question of prohibition by the last leg
islature by directing the governor to
jcall a special election for September
122. Ninety of the 100 Virginia counties
have voted out saloons in local option 1
contests and even if the statewide pro
hibition is defeated, nine-tenths of the
state will remain “dry.”
A prohibition victory would close all
saloons in the remaining 10 counties
and in the principal cities.
Under terms of the legislative ref
erendum, if a majority vote be caet
for prohibition in the special election,
the governor will be required to issue
a proclamation declaring it unlawful
