JEFFERSONPS CONVENTION Meets Today at Noon in the
 Auditorium. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 9:3O Delegation of Thirty Cunningham Men to be Selected by Convention to
 Represent Jefferson in the
 State Convention.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 9:3O

There will be two rather important politi- cal gatherings in Birmingham today, ons the meeting of the county democratic exec- utive committee to count the vote of last Saturdays primary, and the other a con- vention of democrats of the county to- se- lect delegation of thirty men, who are to represent Jefferson county in the. state convention.
 The executive committee will meet at 9:30 o'clock in the circuit court room of the court house, and there they will make their count. There is nothing more to do than to officially confirm the figures which have already been published, for there is no possibility that the county boxes re- ceived yesterday will in any way change the. standing of the six successful candi- dates to any great degree. The official count will be certified by the committee to the convention.
 The convention will be called together promptly at noon, and the small amount of business which it has to transact will be dispatched as quickly as possible.
 There will not be large number of dele- gates present, as there is nothing of an exciting nature to draw them. There will be no doubt about quorum however. for majority of the PAT delegates constitute a quorum, and 124 can easily be gotten to- gether from the beats ini and around the city if necessary.
 The only business the convention has to transact is to endorse the nominees of last Saturdays primaries, and then select thlr- ty delegates to represent Jefferson county in the state convention, which meets next month in Montgomery. Senator R. M Cunningham will undoubtedly. be endorsed by the convention as the, delegate. at large to represent this senatorial district The delegation to Montgomery will be com posed of Cunningham men, and they will. be instructed to vote soidly for Jefferson's senator.

 (By Private Wire to Paine, Murphy & Co.) Birmingham, March 2-Wheat cables from foreign markets were, disappointing, but the professional element took the bull side of the market today in anticipation of break in the stock, of adverse crop news In the future and more active demand for exports. Bradstreets showed an increase of 6S7, 900 bushels in the visible, and the out side speculative demand has been quite moderate. Corn ruled firm on the buying pack Of recent sales, as the weather is again bad. Cash demand continues liberal for the movement. Country offerings were small Provisions were quiet and feature less, with cash trade only fair but the sen- timent continues favorable to higher prices ultimately when speculation revives.

REACTION IN THE
 COTTON MARKET Prices Had a Steady Upward
 Tendency.
WERE SOME SELLING ORDERS
Color to Report That Preparations Were Being Made for Plant
 ing a Large Crop.

New York, March 21.-Trading in cotton futures was quite active today. The mar ket made steady start with prices un- changed to points higher, and still later advanced to more, the improvement being due in part to better cables than has been expected in view of the sharp decline developed here yesterday
 The strength of the market was increased by liberal buying orders from Wall street parties and also by houses with New Or leans and other southern connections; the buying orders from the south were gen. erally directed to the old crop position. There were some selling orders for south- ern account for the remote deliveries which gave color to reports more or less generally in circulation to the effect that new crop preparations were being pushed in the cotton belt with great energy.
 Later the factor became prominent in causing a selling movement, which result ed in decline of 4@6 points from the high est figures of the forenoon. The morning advance was in the face of heavy selling for foreign account. In the afternoon the market developed considerable irregularity,
 
 and caused sharp rally The general undertone of local sentiment, however, was bearish, largely on account of increased estimates regarding receipts and the out look for generally favorable weather in the south tomorrow.
 The market was finally steady at a net advance of 3JS points.

bacterial Rot of Cabbage.

Very good authorities seem to agree
that as there is no remedy known for
cabbage rot preventive measures must
be relied on in combating the disease.
These measures are as follows: Avoid
planting in land on which infected
plants have been grown. Several years
may be necessary to rid the land of the
germs. Do not use manure containing
decayed cabbage leaves or stalks either
in the seed bed or field. Wet land should
be avoided, as it favors the develop
ment of the disease. Keep the plants as
free from insects as possible. Remove
and destroy all diseased plants Or por-
tions of the plant as soon as diseased
condition is noticed.

One Of the most important winter
works Oh tho farm is to open the paths
after each snowfall Where the path
lies across places that usually drift full
Of snow much of the work Of keeping
the path open may be avoided by re-
moving the obstruction to the wind
which causes the drift. Most generally
a drifting snow remains several days, so
that the path will drift full every
night, even though no fresh snow has
fallen. In opening roads team of
steady, stout oxen hitched to sleigh
or sometimes to stone sled will make
broad path better than horses could
do it, We have often seen when boy
most of the cattle in the neighborhood
brought out to follow after an OK team
and sled By the time those had been
driven twice over the road it was con.
sidered safe for sleigh vehicles drawn
by horses \ flock Of sheep driven after
all else will compact the snow best of
all But il snow drifts into the tracks
thus made it will often be piled nearly
rs high as the loose snow on either side
1t may be all right so long as the cold
weather lasts, but let a thaw come and
this solid snow must be abandoned aud
new track made in the loose snow on
one side of what has been used during
the winter. American Cultivator.

AN INEXPENSIVE IcEHoUsE.

outlay for materials is a matter of in.
terest which has recently been consid-
cred in the Ohio Farmer as follows
The size is determined by the length
of the planks to be used Nine posts,
rough hewn of suitable height, are pro-
vided, and two put up at each corner,
as in the second cut, resting upon q
block of wood or stone or set in the
ground. The ninth post is placed at one
side of the door. The bottom planks all
around are thoroughly spiked to the
posts and may be more firmly secured
in place by spiking those at each cor
ner. A plate of light scantling secures
the top in place. Now it is ready for
the ice.
Sprinkle on the ground a layer of
sawdust about ten inches thick, then
put in the first layer of ice, about
foot away from the plank walls Fill
this space solidly with sawdust (B).
Place the second tier of ice next put in
position more planks, and so on until
the house is filed, storing the ice and
carrying up the walls together and fill
ing in between with sawdust. A door
(D) is made by simply using two lengths
of plank on the front side, as indicated
by the posts, When the house is full,
thick layer OF sawdust is put on top Of
the ice, Drainage is secured by placing
the structure en- slipping ground. A roof
Of boards with the cracks battened is
sufficient. With little taste this may
be made quite pleasing in appearance
lcehousos can have their appearance
improved by the free use of climbing
vines. These not only answer as an en-
Enlistment, but serve useful end in
breaking the sun S rays and keeping the
building much cooler than it would be
under full exposure. 1t costs but little
