COTTON CONDITIONS
Acreage in Tennessee Valley Has Been
 Increased Over Last Year

Huntsville, May 30.-(Special.) )-Interviews with prominent cotton planters throughout the Tennessee Valley show the cotton con- ditions at this season to be as follows:
 The acreage in the Tennessee Valley is about equal to that of 1898 and about 12 per cent greater than last year. The in- creased cotton acreage has necessitated large purchase of mules and horses and tion, great deal better than the average in this section.
 The use of commercial fertilizers has in- creased 25 per cent compared with last year. This is confined largely to lowlands where it assists in maturing the cotton earlier than it could be matured by the natural soil alone. The weather has been unfavorable from the first of the season, rain and cold having delayed the plant ing fully three weeks later than last year. A dry season came on after the seed were in the ground and the seed did not sprout as rapidly as they should. However, re- stances and this is fortunate, as the far mers sold their seed last year at the pre- vailing price of 30 cents per bushel and reserved only enough for one planting.
 The cotton plant is unusually small for this season and stands from the l ater planting have just appeared This disad vantage may be overcome by favorable conditions hereafter, but a late frost will be necessary to assure full average crop.

These resorts vary in altitude from 1900 to 2,500 feet, and are celebrated for grand and beautiful mount ain surroundings, variety of mineral springs, exhilarating climate mildly warm days and cool refreshing nights, producing a feeling of energy and buoyancy which insures health and promotes enjoyment. There are over 300 summer homes in the mountains and along the seashore reached by the Chesapeake and Ohio railway. The rates vary to suit those of moderate means who prefer hom aike surroundings, and to gratify those seeking gaiety and social life.

RECKLESS DRIVING

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 l am prompted by the numerous acci- dents that have been eyewitness to dur ing the past three or four months and my own personal safety. when crossing a street, and more especially when passing an alley, to say a few words about crim- inally reckless driving in Birmingham. Many times this danger to pedestrians, es- pecially children, even when with nurses or their parents, has been alluded to in your columns, and some very able articles on this subject have I read in your paper of late Instead of making drivers more careful, it has had the opposite effect They now seem to try and see whom they can cripple or what they can destroy.
 More particularly I wish to call the pub lie attention to the movement of the ice wagons, which I have watched and made a study of and am continually lodging These wagons and mules will come up the street in sharp trot; suddenly and uneX- pectedly and without warning they turn sharply to race over the sidewalk into an alley-a feat the driver loves to gloat over, for he gives the mules a lash with his long whip just as he turns, but more than ten times in less than two months to my observation, narrow escape from broken and crushed limbs to babies in bug gies, school children and ladies' The more crowded the sidewalk, tl1e more inhuman satisfaction it seems to be to these ice wagon drivers to see the scared and con fused pedestrians scatter At the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street, have seen any number of such cases the past few months, and several accidents; fortunately no serious ones thus far
 Delivery wagon drivers of other trades have pleasant way of driving down the street; arriving at a corner, they keep you in suspense to where they intend to turn suddenly, and without warning, they give the horse or mule a lash, and with q don't care stare" they turn the corner scattering ladies, children, men, vehicles and bicycle riders to the four winds, and only too often into a passing car or wagon
 In all seriousness, this Is getting to be dangerous business, and should be stopped If the city has no ordinance against reck- less driving, the city fathers should enact stringent one and see it enforced with all possible dispatch. If we have one and it is not enforced, then let the by-standing citizens take matters promptly in hand the very next time an accident occurs and hang the driver to the most convenient lamp post as an example for his confreres in crime. This is an extreme measure it is true, but not half severe enough should our babies or wife be crippled perhaps for life by what appears to me not carelessness or ignorance, but rather vicious and criminal recklessness in driving. Respectfully,
 OTTO SCHULTZ
