ALABAMA COTTON CROP.
A Decrease of Thirty Per Cent II
Now Estimated.

Birmingham, Ala, August 2f.-Cotton
experts here. who have received reports
from all over the State declare that the
crop, as a whole has been inipred at least
10 per cent by the severely hot weather
during August.
Up to the last week in July the crop was
in splendid condition, and promised about
a 90 per cent yield. Then came heavy
rains for week which caused shedding,
This, 1t is estimated, cut down the yield
per cent. Following this came the hot
test weather experienced for many years,
and 1t has absolutely cooked the young
fruit then maturing, making the total de-
terioration since the last week In July
about 10 per cent. In some sections OF
the state, notably North Alabama, the
falling off is fully 20 per cent, and the
total yield Is not expected to be over 10
per cent. The crop IS opening rapidly,
which Is another sign of its shortness. The
top crop in North and Western Alabama
was practically wiped out by the hot wave
and much of the middle crop Injured.

THE NEW LAW.
Railway Managers VIII Not Make
the Measure Obnoxious.


the Measure Obnoxious.
The Houston representatives of the rail-
ways who attended the meeting at Dallas
Wednesday state that for time there
was considerable difference of opinion as
to what should be done after the 26th in
slant, when the new antirebate law goes
into effect.
Lawyers were as divergent in their views
as were their lay brethren of the roads
who looked to the attorneys for advice.
SOME were very rigid in their construc-
tion while others were rather liberal.
The general conclusion arrived at was
that the entire intent OF the law was solely
to prevent discrimination, but before
reaching this opinion there We're many
constructions placed upon the discrimina-
tion contemplated. Some went SO far as
to hold that no passes whatever could be
issued, because 1t might be claimed that
should railroad issue pass to one per-
son it could be held that this would be
discrimination against another passenger
1t was finally agreed, however that as
SO many exemptions were made in an
other section of the law such ruling
would be extra judicial and more severe
than was the real intent OF the law when
it was passed.
As 1t now stands 1t Is believed the law
will work but little hardship, If any, on
eithor the railway companies or the pub
lie. and the intention of the railway man
ayers is to use all efforts to maintain ,he
statute as It's intent is understood and
to be as generous and lenient as possible.
Some of the lines which are calling up
passes inclose blank to the holder of
the accommodating pasteboard. 1t in
structs him to keep the pass il he can
conscientiously say. over his signature,
that his holding of such pass In no way
can be construed as a violation of the
law; that he is not shipper and does
not influence traffic over the road in con-
sideration of having a pass.
