SOUTHERN MANUFACTURERS
Ninth Annual Convention in Session at
 St. Louis.

St Louis, July 1S.-The ninth annual convention of the Southern Manufacturers association was begun today al the South ern hotel. When the session was called to order by President l. c. Enochs, of Jack son, Miss, there were fifty delegates pres ent. Most of the membership of the or ganization is confined to the southern states. Today's session was devoted alto gether to routine work. After the presi- dents opening address the reports of the secretary, treasurer and chief inspector were read and adopted. The reports of the secretary and treasurer showed the organi- zation to be in a fourishing condition nu- merically and financially.
 Among the most important questions to be brought up for consideration of the con- vention will be that of raising fund to use in combating the proposed reduction of tariff on the importation of lumber from Canada. Then two lumber associations in the north and south have always had rep resentation to look after their interests in this direction at the sessions of congress and it is probable that delegate will be se- lected at the present meeting to confer with the representative of the northern associa- tion to this end.

Weather Bureau Summary

Washington, July 1S.-The following is the weather bureaus summary of crop conditions: The absence of rain over a large part of the Gulf and South 44t..ts;t.e states has intensified the previously report ed droughty conditions in that section, more particularly over the interior portion of the central and gulf states, middle Ten- nessee, and the western portion of the Car olinas. While excessive and continuous rains over central Wisconsin have proved unfavorable over a large part of Texas, including the greater part of the inundated region of the Brazos basin, there has been an almost total absence of rain. me Brazos bottom lands, however, are not dry enough for cultivation. In the South At lantic and Central and Eastern Gulf states including Central Tennessee, Southern Mis- souri and portions of Kentucky and Vir- ginia, corn is suffering from drought and has failed rapidly during the week in Georgia and the Carolinas, upland corn in North Carolina being damaged by dry weather. In Texas a heavy crop is as- sured in the northern portion of the state, and the late planted in the southern DOT tion is better than was expected
 The general condition of cotton in the eastern portion of the cotton belt is less favorable thanin the preceding week, due principally. to the prevalence of drought conditions, and in part to the ravages of insects. The crop in these districts Is, however, well cultivated, considerable portion having been laid by. In Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, except in the recently flooded region and portions of Mississippi, cotton has done well, and it's condition is generally improved. In east ern Texas the crop is growing nicely, and the crop as rule is fruiting heavily. In southwestern Texas early cotton is open- ing well and some has been picked
 Owing to the continuation of drought in Tennessee, the outlook for the short acre. age of tobacco In that state is very un- promising.

NEW POSTMASTER.
A. J. Hyde Receives the Appointment
 At Meridian.

Meridian, Miss, July 1S.-(Special)-A. A. J. Hyde this afternoon received notitica- tion of his apointment as postmaster of the, city of Meridian. The appointment was made today by President Mckinley and has been expected for some time, and comes now as the result of continuous effort on the part of Mississippi republicans to oust Postmaster Martin, who was appointed to succeed MT. R. l. MrElroy by President Cleveland just before the expiration of his term in 1897.
 Since the inauguration of Mckinley the republicans have worked for the office and their efforts have been rewarded. MT. Hyde, the appointee, is one of the most promi- nent republicans in this state, and is a most excellent gentleman, and personally his appointment is satisfactory. E. J. Mar tin, the retiring postmaster has filled the position for two and a half years. The position pays about $3, 300 per year.

The Baby Advertised For

/ "Dora's Faith" Is a tender little poem presented by a shoe merchant to the Tusca- loosa Times as illustrating the value of one or two things. Here is part of the poem: One day there came a baby
 To fill the house with joy A great big bouncing baby,
 A ten-pound baby boy;
 And when Dora saw her brother,
 As she tiptoed on the mat,
 And saw the babe, she said Mamma, Did you advertise for that?'

We and Our Better Half

Thus speaketh the esteemed editor of the Dadeville Herald:
 It is seldom that pleasure accrues to a hard worked editor. But Sunday last we procured buggy and gentle horse from our very kind and obliging liverymen, Messrs. Smith & Shaffer and with our bet ter half drove out to our old friend, H. w. Chadwick's two miles from town. And his delightful home, with it's beautiful surroundings, was enough to make poor town editor of newspaper whose subscrib- CTS are very slow in paying him, wish he was dead.

 More than half the month of July has gone and the cherished hope that the peo- pie of Limestone would be allowed an op- portunity of saying at the ballot bax this month whether they desired to issue bonds with which to build free bikes over this county, will be only vision.
