RUSSIAN POLICEMEN.

a good story is being told in st. Pc

the sentry:
"DO you know me-"
Yes, your cycpllcncy."
IF Il man was being murdered close
by, would YOU quit your post:"
Never. your cXcclieEcy."

know your duty. Well. what would
you do:'
Il would blow NY whistle to rouse
the guard"
Good. Let Us suppose some one is
being murdered here. Whistle"
The soldier blew, but not a soul an
swerud. lie blew again and again,
but the same silence prevailed.
That will do" said the governor at
last. You have whistIed your utmost.

your conscience is tranquil Now you

been murdered two or three times over

THE STATE FAIR
 IS INCORPORATED And the Capital Stock is Already
 Subscribed. EMINENT BUSINESS MEN Are Personally Interested, and They Are Determined to Have Great Fair in Birmingham Next Novem-
 ber-Prospects Bright
EMINENT BUSINESS ME

Forty of the best, strongest and most respected men of Birmingham have each subscribed $25 to form the capital stock Of the Alabama Fair Association, a company which is now lawfully incorporated.
 This association will hold a state fair in Birmingham next November, and state fair each year for five years following.
 The capital is fixed at $,0OO, and is al- ready subscribed That sum is ample, since the company has leased the fair grounds and buildings, new and in perfect order in Smiths Park.
 Amongst the subscribers are Mayor Drennen, Former Mayor David J. Fox, Su- perintendent Newbold of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Superintendent Wick ersham of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad, Superintendent Frazier of the Southern Railway, Colonel Jefferson M. Falkner of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad law department, Moses V. Joseph, Ferd Marx, President John W. O'Neill of the Board of Trade, President w. H. Ket- tig of the Commercial Club, Oliver Chali- foux Thomas H. Motion, and so on; the full list not being completed last night for publication.
 As to the premiums that will be offered 1t is the purpose of the merchants and business men of the city to subscribe from $l5,O0O to s20,0O0 toward the fund. This money will be raised so as to make sure the payment of premiums and the expenses of the association and to remove all doubt as to the obligations of the association be- ing met.
 We are perfectly confident of being able to hold and make successful a splendid state fair said former Mayor Fox. Busi- ness men are in charge of the undertaking and they will conduct it with as much sys- tenn and accuracy as govern their own private business affairs. They have sue- ceeded for themselves and will succeed with the state fair We hope to spend all the money we can get in making a great fair, and shall not look for dividends for the stockholders. The earnings of the un- dertaking shall go to the public"
 The subscribers will meet immediately and elect directors and the directors will choose officers The president and secre- tary will be notable and successful business men of Birmingham.
 George I. Motz of Huntsville is in the city for the purpose of making arrangements looking to a state agricultural exhibit at the state fair. He is anxious to have the state we'll represented as to its agricultural interests at the fair, and if arrangements can be made he will be willing to travel through the state in behalf of exhibit this year that will excel anything that has ever been seen before in the state. MT. Motz yesterday called on a number of gen. tlemen interested in the fair movement and is ready to offer his services.

WILL VOLUNTEER
 FOR CHINESE WAR
Birmingham Rifles and Jefferson
 Volunteers So Vote.
SECRETARY OF WAR NOTIFIED
Both Companies Were in the Spanish American War al Are Wiringto Fight in China for the
 Stars and Stripes

In the event President Mckinley and teer army to send to China, Birmingham will offer at least two organized and well drilled companies. This thing of being patriotic, however, is not new thing to the people of Birmingham, nor to Alabama, as they are always ready to respond to any call made upon them by their govern ment
 The Jefferson Volunteers and the Birm- ingham Rifles have already taken a vote on the question of volunteering their ser- vics should the President call for volun- teers, and the vote was almost unanimous in favor of enlisting. The rifles held a meeting last nigth with over fifty members present, and among other things the Chi nese question was discussed. At the con- clusion of the discussion, Captain Charles l.. Ledbetter wired the Secretary of War as follows:
 Birmingham, Ala, July 19 1900. ''Secretary of War, Washington, D. c.
 Birmingham Rifles, Company K, Third Infantry, Alabama National Guards form erly Company K, First Alabama Volunteer Infantry, at a meeting tonight, fifty mem bers present, volunteered for active service
 "C. l.. LEDBETTER,
 Captain Commanding. The Jefferson Volunteers, at a meeting held early in the week, took vote on the question of volunteering and S5 per cent of the members present voted to volunteer if the President calls for men.
 In the Spanish-American war five com- panies from Jefferson county were in the First Alabama regiment and good portions of three others were in the Fifth Immunes. In addition to these were four colored com panies raised in the county for the Third Alabama. It is estimated that Jefferson county had over fifteen hundred men in the United States army during the war with Spain.

THE COTTON CROP
 BADLY DAMAGED
A. s. Johnson's Statement of
 Conditions at Present.
INCREASED ACREAGE 0FFSEL
Tremendous Rains in June Damaged the Plant and Caused the Abandon ment of Considerable Por-
 tion of the Crop

A. S. Johnson, cotton broker and com- press owner at Meridian, Miss, has is- sued a statement of the condition of the cotton crop under date of July 10, in which he predicts a crop of not exceeding 10100,- 900 bales for the present year. In his state ment he says that the tremendous rains that fell in the cotton belt during June added still more uncertainty to an already critical situation. Reports issued by him since July 1 indicate improved conditions, and that the damage to the crop by the rains was not so serious as was at one time believed.
 . Continuing he says: While it is well enough to casually mention the improving conditions now taking place, it will be equally as well to remember the immense disadvantages under which this crop was pitched, the late start made and the few scattering days in which time was given to work it properly, all resulting in a total abandonment of the crop in many in stances, to such an extent in the entire belt that we do not feel it is an eXaggera- ton to assume that the increased acreage this season has been entirely wiped out.
 Referring to the clause in my circuar under date of June b, where the probabili- ties as to the size of the crop are consid- cred, it was mentioned, Under most fla vorable conditions 1o,9000O0 bales might be produced; deducting therefrom the in- crease in acreage of ST allowed, which We now claim has been lost, it will be seen that not more than 10, 100000 bales can be reasonably expected. Imagine such condi- tions. Practically no visible supply, con sumption Il ,000,000 to 11,50O000, a crop pos sbly not over 10,25O,00O Can the average man, identIhed with the cotton trade per- haps for forty years, fully comprehend what this would mean? We say, should such small yield as 10000,000 or 10,250000 only be realized this year. that nothing but political affairs of the world could prevent speculation from taking the price of cotton to higher figures than we have seen it for twenty-five years.
 Notwithstanding the general improve ment that is being noted all sides and the depressing influences now surrounding the market, having tendency to lower the prices, we claim this general improve ment is taking place from the worst gen. eral conditions the writer has ever known. The critical month of August is yet to come. While the crop Is now doing well, we have all seen the brightest prospects swept away in a short time by hot winds in August
