You want seeds that will grow, and those that
will produce the best and most vegetables.
It is a matter of common knowledge that many great
men during the last few years have been devoting their
entire time and attention to the development of plant life.
They have succeeded in doubling the yield of some vege
tables, in improving the size and quality of others.
Our seeds this spring include every improved specie. They have
been carefully tested, so you do not need to be afraid that you are
wasting your time and your garden seed and the good things that you
can enjoy from it when you buy your seed from us. Still the cost is
not greater than what you will pay for the other kind somewhere
else. The only extra expense is the good judgement in buying from us.

THE INAU6URAL EXERCISES

oises—New Governor’s Stand on Pro
hibltlon Question.
Emmat O’Neal, of Florence, Ala.,
Alabama’s 34th Governor and ninth

sworn In at Montgomery on a public
platform. He took the oath In the pres
ence of the General Assembly, the
Supreme Court Justices, state officials
and an immense crowd of spectators.
Twenty-five thousand visitors came
to Montgomery to take part in the in
augural exercises. Every whistle and
public bell in the city was sounded for
six minutes in honor of the occasion.
Inaugural Parade.
The inaugural parade was pronounc
ed the’ most elaborate in the state’s
history, being more than a mile long.
Two thousand state troops, several
marching clubs and hundreds of ca
dets were In line. There were more
than 100 automobiles bearing the
state's most distinguished figures.
After he was sworn In the Gover
nor delivered his inaugural address.
Local Option Law.
In his inaugural address, Governor
Emmett O’Neal pronounced Alabama’s
drastic prohibition laws an invasion
of individual rights and constitutional
guarantees and declared the attempt
to Insert a prohibition clause in the
state constitution the offspring of in
tolerance and bigotry. He proclaim
ed prohibition a failure and recom
mended a general local option law. He
advocated a divorce between liquor
Interests and politics, to be accom
plished by the creat on of an excise
commission \csied with the power to
control the '.i hi or traffic.

Corr.c ■ Introduced O'Neal.
On introducing iiis- successor, Gov
ernor Coiner said he relinquished the
reins of office with the prayer that
Mr. O’Neal will make the very best
Governor Alabama has ever had.
At the time that Governor Comer
Introduced the incoming executive to
the people, the capital grounds were
crowded as they had never before
been occupied in history, and when he
concluded his speech by presenting
Mr. O’Neal to the people of the state,
the cheers were deafening. Marching
clubs from all parts of Alabama were
present, while the military formed a
cordon around the entire capitol
grounds.
A Great Occasion.
It is conceded by those who have
seen Alabama’s Governors inaugurat

greater acclaim than was any Gov

NEW ORLEANS CHOSEN.
Southern City Wins Fight For Big
Exposition.
New Orleans wins her fight for the
big exposition to be held in celebra
tion of the opening of the Panama
canal In 1915. The House Committee
on Industrial Arts and Expositions, by
a vote of nine to six, favored the
Crescent City over San Francisco,
which has been a strong contender
for the exposition. The fight between
the cities will be carried to the floor
of the House, but, with the committee
behind New Orleans, her chances are
now infinitely better than ever before.
The New Orleans people are confident
the House will sustain the committee.
The committee, after deciding in
favor of New Orleans, named a sub
committee to draft a bill, embodying
the essential points for which New
Orleans contended. The Government
will be committed to participation in
the expositloh, and $1,000,000 will he
appropriated for a Government dis
play, as a starter. How much more
the Government will be called upon
to do remains to he seen.

“Last Capitol of Confederacy’’ Loses
Its Mistress.
Mrs. Jane Patrick Sutherlin, aged
83, and widow of Major W. T. Suther
lin, died at her historic home at Dan
ville, Va., widely known as the last
capitol of the Confederacy.
Mrs. Sutherlin was hostess to Pres

following their memorable flight after
the evacuation of Richmond. It was
at the Sutherlin home that President
Davis assembled his Cabinet for the
last official conference and signed the
last documents of the Confederacy be

Liquor Fight In Alagama Legislature
Warming Up.
Anticipating a bitter contest over
the effort to repeal the prohibition
legislation, the lower house of the
Alabama Legislature, alter prolonged
debate, adopted a rule forbidding any
body the floor of the House while the
body was in session, except members,
employees and active reporters. This
Shuts out all lobbyists,, of whom there
Are said to be not a few.
The first clash over the liquor legis
lation came on a motion in the House
to have all the liquor bills Introduced
during the session printed. This also
provoked a spirited debate and ended
in defeat of the resolution. Both sides
claim a victory, and, If It was a vic
tory. It is a pyrrhic one.
The Senate adopted Senator Allen’s
resolution which condemns radical
legislation and invites capital to in
vest in the state.
The Mobile delegation put In a bill
that allows the sale of liquor in that
county.
