NEW CODE OF ALABAMA.
Gov. Johnston Issues Proclamation for It to Go
 Into Effect February 1T.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Montgomery, Jan. H.-Gov Johnston to- day issued a proclamation under the terms of which the new code of Alabama goes into effect on Feb. F. The code is now be- ing distributed to the judicial and other officers who are entitled to it.
 The new code is believed to be an ex- ceedngly satisfactory compilation of the laws of the state. It was prepared by former Attorney-General William L. Mar tin, Judge. A. D. Sayre and Hon. P. c. Mas sic, all of Montgomery. These gentlemen have spent large part of the past two years in perfecting the compilation and ar- rangement of the laws and have given especial attention to the preparation of a satisfactory index a feature in which the old code is sadly lacking.
 The new volume is larger than the old by reason of the fact that the state has more laws than 1t had ten years ago.

AMUSED MENTS.

Two big houses greeted the Peters and Green Comedy company yesterday. At the matinee performance the comedy was "A Quiet Home, and at night "A Mixed Up Affair."" Both were laughs from beginning to end, and both performances gave com plete satisfaction if the way the people laughed and clapped their hands counts for anything. The winsome De Ives sisters in songs and fancy dances win new ad- mirers at every performance. They are always in a good humor and those ways, that can't be explained, but still everybody knows keeps them answering encores.

Madame Modjeska, who comes to Bir- mingham Monday, January H, has perhaps during her artistic career played more of the great roles which cal for the highest talents of the actress than any other wo- man on the American stage. She has drawn upon the treasures of the English, the German and the French drama, and has always chosen what was highest and best in them. Earlier in her career she was partial to such roles as Rosalind, Jul liet and Camille, and every theater-goer who has ever seen her in those characters, holds them inSvivid recollection The play in which she will be seen here is Mary Stuart, Schiller's beautiful drama, which she has appeared in oftener perhaps than in any other in her repertoire. As the noble and fascinating Queen of Scots, Modjeska appeals to all ears and givss a portrayal marked with great power and exquisite refinement and finish. Joseph Haworth, an actor widely known and highly esteemed, plays the leading roles and the company contains, in addition number of talented and reputable legiti- mate players

WAR REVENUE IMMENSE.

Il Already More Than Covers the Wa
Expenditures.
WASHINGTON, July l2. Tho effect OF
the war revenue act is shown in the
large increase in receipts from internal
revenue since July /. The total OF
these receipts Of eight days was ss, 49,.
673, which is double the amount re.
ceived from the same source for the
corresponding period Of last year. The
yield from increased taxes has averaged
about $500. 200 per day. Tho total ex.
penditures reported for tho war and
navy departments for the last eight
days is 81, $4,000, go that it will be
seen that the receipts from internal
revenue sources have been more than
sufficient to cover the war expenditures
since July 1.

BINDING TwINE CORNER.

Object OF the Minnesota Prison Twins
Mandatory Practically NulliHsd.
ST. PAUL, July 9.-It is said that
contracts have been made with the
saltwater prison to purchase its entire
output Of binding twine. and that the
buyers can hold prices at almost any
figure they want since the Spanish.
American war has shut off the supply
of fiber from Manila.
Warden Wolfer Of the Saltwater
prison will be waited upon by self.
constituted committee, representing
large agricultural interests, and asked
for relief. One farmer, who cultivates
$500 acres in tho central part Of the
state. says that the difference in price
between the standard schedule and
proposed dealers prices would cost him
$1,000. He complains that the dealers
simply refuse to sell twine at any price,
evidently waiting for the top notch in
market prices. The increased price to
all the farmers of tho state is some.
thing enormous.
Already the price has risen from BL
cents to 20 and 22 cents per pound.
Warden Wolfer is not hold responsible
for the expensive conditions confront.
ing the farmers, because he made the
contracts as usual in good faith. He
regrets the inability Of the farmers to
mako reasonable prices with tho deal.
ers and has taken preliminary step.
compel the latter to dispose OF i,
holdings at prices compatible with
infant of tho 1oxu ,,yh;nh o,&.kaa
twine factory at Saltwater. Whether
he can do SO depends on the nature of
the contracts under the law.
Juteut OF til. Law subvsrted.
Most of the twine in this country ia
made from Manila and sisal fiber,
which is shut off ON account of the
war. In Minnesota the farmers, by
favorable legislation few years
ago, have been able to get twine from
fibre grown in this country at
from one.third to one.fourth tho
cost OF the other. After long, heated
debate the legislature decided to estab.
lish binding twine plant at Saltwater
prison at cost of about 5000, 900. This
plant was to be operated by tho con.
victs under the supervision of tho
prison authorities, aud the farmers
were to get the product at the cost of
production and operation. Tho monop.
oily now secured through ordinary con.
tracts by dealers subverts the primary
intent Of the law, but ON the surface
there seems to be no help for it.
The output Of the prison factory has
been sufficient to supply all the farm.
ers OF the state. and 1T still is, but the
farmers who know the situation feel
that the law will avail them nothing if
tne apparent monopoly cannot be
broken.
