The Short Cotton Crop-A New Court
Householder Interesting Notes.
Opelika, Aug. 12.-(Special.) 1.-The peo-
pie of this section are suffering greatly
from the intense heat. The thermometer
was So in the shade yesterday. Creeks
have dried up, corn is ruined and sugar
cane is total failure. Cotton has been
badly damaged and the promised yield
has fallen off 30 per cent within the last
two weeks. The bolls are opening before
the seed are matured and the young bolls
are dropping Off The drouth will dam
age the potato crop fully so per cent.
The outlook Is indeed discouraging, and
with bagging and ties rapidly advanc-
ing, our farmers are indeed in a Distress
ing condition.
Work on the new court house Is pro-
crossing rapidly. When completed and
furnished it will be the finest and most
commodious building in east Alabama.
Mrs. Smithie Cherry of Birmingham is
erecting an elegant residence in front of
the new court house. In all parts of
town there are elegant new residences
going up.
Messrs. Sistrunk and Lyons of Nota-
sulga have opened an elegant dry goods
store here on a large SCALE
The new county officers, who will as
sumo their positions September 1 and all
of whom are democrats, are: G. N.
Hodge, sheriff. J. b. Butler, tax assessor;
j. s. Hair, tax collector; John M. Mullins,
treasurer; e. A. Baker and r. b. Barnes,
representatives. and j. w. Foster and
William Laney, commissioners. These
are all tried and true democrats and will
give splendid satisfaction.
The directors of the East Alabama
Fair association are sending out their
elegant premium lists of their coming
fair, which will occur the second week
in November and promises to be grand
success. The officers are very confident
of handling a large crowd and are going
to spend a good sum Of money to adj
vance the interest in this institution, of
which all Alabama should be proud.

Freeland took another step upward
and onward last Friday morning when
the street sprinkler purchased by NJ. II,
Hunscker made its first trip down
Centre street. The machine holds
several hundred gallons of water, and
has given general satisfaction along the
route it traverses, which is from Walnut
street to the Lehigh Valley tracks. The
water used is procured from the trench
leading from the old Woodside mine
which cmpties into the large dam near
st. AIMS church. The sprinkler was
formerly the property of the Pioneer
Fire Company of Hazleton.
Mr.. Hunsicker has been assured by
the business people of sufficient support
to make the sprinkler pay, and it is
hoped the subscriptions will be promptly
paid so that its continuance will not be

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Mrs. j. Il. Laubach In jured While Out
Driving on Saturday.

While driving from town to Eckley on
Saturday afternoon Mrs. j. B. Laubach
was seriously injured by the running
away of her horse. With two small lads
of town she left here shortly before
o'clock to deliver an order of ice cream
and confectionery at Eckley. All were
seated on the buck board, and when the
railroad crossing above the Highland
school building was reached the horse
became partly detached from the vehicle
in some manner.
Before the difficulty could be remedicd
the animal took fright and dashed along
the road. The occupants did not have
time to jump until the blackboard had
capsized. The boys escaped with
scarcely any injuries, but Mrs. Laubach
became cntangled in the wheels and was
dragged several yards before she was
released from the wreck.
Tho residents of Highland who wit
messed the accident gave her all the as
sistance they could until J. p. McNelis,
butcher of town, came along with his
team and brought her back to her home.
An examination of her injuries showed
that her collar bone is broken, two ribs
are fractured and she was otherwise
injured internally. She is resting quite
easily today, but has suffered consider
able pain since the accident.
Those who saw the runaway state that
the escape from death of all who were
on the vehicle was miraculous.
Her husband, J. B. Laubach has just
recovered from the effects of II broken
leg received by Il fall ON the ice last
winter

CORPORATION TYRANNY.
Silver Brook Company Orders Employees
to Submit or Nacate.

From the Hazleton Standard
There seems to be but faint ray of
hope for the employees of the Silver
Brook Coal Company since it has been
announced that four families have al
ready been ordered to vacate their
homes. Never on the South Side has
corporate tyranny been so openly dis
played. According to the information
vonchsafed us, the notice to vacate was
served by Coal and Iron Policeman Will
liam Raught, and is directly the result
Of the peoples refusal to trade at the
''pluck-me' store.
In their mad rush for wealth, the So
called captains of industry" forget the
enormous suffering they are inflcting
upon the people by such a system of
scrfdom. 1t seems impossible for human
nature to bear the indigniJics that are
being piled upon it by the graspng cor
porations.
Not only do some coal companies
make outrageous attacks on the liberty
of their employees, but their lives as well.
The deplorabe feature of the whole affair
is that even statesmen are doing their bid
ding.
a jefferson or Lincoln would be
welcome in these times of idlenesS and
slavery who in no uncertain manner
would call a halt on the merciless and
heartlcss attacks on human liberties.
The existing circumstances in the
coal field and the inroads of corporate
influence is sufficient to crush the work
ing masses into hopeless poverty.
For many years past freedom has been
unknown among the employees of some
mining corporations, particularly those
of the Silver Brook Coal Company.

Boys are men that have not got as
big rs their papas, and girls are women
that will be young ladies by-and-by.
Man was made before woman. When
God looked at Adam, He said TO Him
self: We'll, | think | can do better if
| try again. and then He made Eve.
God liked Eve SO much better than
Adam, that there have been more women
than men. Boys are trouble. They
wear out everything, but soap. If
had my way, half the boys in the world
would be girls, and the rest would be
dolls. My papa is so nice that l think
he must have been little girl when he
was little boy."-St. Andrews Church

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by one of
the best physicians in this country for
years, and is regular prescription. 1t
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in
gradients is what produces such wonder
full results in curing catarrh. Send for

5. Shindel, of Tamaqua, to show by
what authority he claims to exercise
