At the Country Club.

The bright afternoon of yesterday and the cool evening thronged the country roads with smart procession of traps, and by o'clock the Country club was quite gay with the much-talked of summer girl and her escorts and chaperones, for the belles who are spending the season or part of it in town, were much in evidence last night, and gave the touch of summer girl smartness to the occasion. The even- ing was entirely informal, and the Country club members kept "open house. to give the large number of invited guests who were prevented by the rains from attending the formal opening last week, of driving through the private grounds and visiting the club house. There was a delightful band stationed in the ball room, but danc- ing was purely desultory. Light refresh- ments were served during the evening, and the delightful absence of any formality and the gracious welcome of the club members made the evening a most charming one to the guests. The private driveway was illu- minated by lanterns, and the lights in the ball room were also augmented by hanging lanterns.

LIKE ROUNDLAP BALES
Opinions ofCotton Farmers and Ginners
 After a Seasons Experience

The attitude of cotton ginners and farm- CTS towards the Roundlap cotton bale of the American Cotton Company, after seasons test of the machine, Is illustrated by letter received recently by the editor of the Manufacturers Record, Baltimore, as follows:
 Editor Manufacturers Record:
 Some time ago you requested us to give you our opinion of the American Cotton Co.'S cylindrical press. At that time we were unable to give our views correctly, owing to the short time we had operated the press. Now that the ginning season has closed we can unquestionably say that the press is a success in every particular, not only from a ginner's standpoint, but as practical farmers. The results from sale of our cotton have been eminently satisfac- tory and much beyond what we had antici- pated. The advantages to planter and operator are so many that it would take up too much space to enumerate them. It Is sufficient to say that no one who has baled their cotton on this press would now or hereafter patronize any other. And why should they? Their ginning charges are less than the square-press people charge, and they receive from one-quarter to one half cent per pound more than they could get in the square bale. There is no ques- tion about the round bale being here to stay, and we would advise the ginmen, especially those who are near a railroad, to get in the swim at once and exemplify the old adage of the early bird getting the worm They win not only benefit them selves, but their friends, the farmers, will get the cream that the middlemen, the commission merchants, have been enjoying and getting rich upon. In conclusion, to condense the advantages. will say that the bale is fireproof, waterproof, dustproof, and proof that it is a labor-saving and money making bale to the farmer.

Miss Searcy's Dinner
For Miss Roden

 Miss Ella Searcy gave a beautiful dinner on Monday evening in honor of her guests, Miss Saida Gordon Williams of Atlanta and Miss Lillian Roden of Birmingham. Tus- caloosa has never entertained two more attractive nor universally popular young women, and they have been the recipients of deal of fattering attention during their visit. Nothing, however, has equalled in charm and elegance this affair in their honor Monday evening. The fair hostess was even more than usually charming,

 POSTAL AFFAIRS Excellent Showing Made by the
 Local Office. SHOWS A GREAT INCREASE Four Million Letters Mailed Here Dur ing the Year-Report Is Quite Complimentary to Manage
 ment of Postmaster.
SHOWS A GREAT INCREASE

Washington, August 2.-(Special)-The re- port of the auditor of the postofice depart ment for the fiscal year ending July 1, which is now in process of compilation will show some interesting figures concerning the receipts of the three principal postof- fees in Alabama, especially of the Birming- ham office. which shows an increase of SIP .53 over last years receipts.
 The following comparative figures for the Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery of fees for the past four years gives Birming- ham the leading position among the Ala bama cities:
 1S96 1897. 1898. 1899. Birmingham =. ..s6O 750 S63, ,0n $70, 7S0 $SS, LAST Mobile .... .... .... 59,450 64, ,O4S 63,235 69,110 Montgomery .. ... 4S 197 53,469 60,112 55,9S6 Excess of the Birmingham office over Mobile is $14,3S7; excess over Montgomery, $27,551.
 The splendid showing made by the Bir- mingham office in the above report re- fleets great credit upon the administration of Postmaster J. w. Hughes, whose con- duct of the office has proven\hghly satis- factory to the citizens of Birmingham, who enjoy service second to none in the United States.
 Taking the 1899 figures as basis of com putation and estimating that $3,4S7S6 was paid by the newspapers, 1t would still leave the stamp sales at SS0,0O0, which, re- duced to 2-cent stamps, would indicate that 100000 letters were mailed at the office during the year. On the same basis an equal number were received which would indicate that S.OOoOOO letters were handled exclusive of the letters which are distrib- uted in the mailing department of the Bir- mingham office from Ensley, Pratt City, East Lake, Woodlawn, Avondale, Elyton, West End, North and East Birmingham, and eight or ten other small offices, which would increase the total number to over ten million letters, as all these small offices show a corresponding increase in business.
