HALF CROP
Farmers of Tennessee Valley Have Poor
 Prospects

Huntsville, July 3.-(Special. )-The farm- CTS of the Tennessee Valley will consider themselves lucky if they make half crop of cotton this year. The cotton plant has not been growing as 1t should because of the cold, damp weather, and the grass Is choking 1t to death.
 The crop was almost three weeks late before the rainy season began. With the exception of about two days 1t has raned during the entire month of June adding four weeks to the delay of the crop
 Hundreds of acres of cotton on the hill- sides have been washed away, and under the circumstances even an average poor yield is an impossibility
 During the past month farmers have cut and shocked much wheat, which has been badly damaged by the dampness. In many cases the grain has sprouted in the shock and rendered itself practically valueless
 The farmers of Madison County have narrowing tale to tell of the waterspout Sunday night. Many public bridges were washed away and in all parts of the coun- ty heavy losses were suffered by the wash ing away of fences.

He and his corps of enumerators can be depended upon to do their part of the work ex- pedittously and carefully. Of course it is the interest of every citizen of Birming- ham to see that this city makes a full exhibit of it's industrial business.
 When the reports are tabulated and is sued by the census bureau, the industrial exhibit of Jefferson County will be made as a county and an exhibit of each city in the county will be made separately.
 As supervisors are not allowed to give out information concerning population OF industrial data, the public must wait un- til Director Merriam is ready to issue it from the census office in Washington Bir- mingham's population will hardly reach 4O,000, but it Is known that many of the smaller towns in Jefferson County show an increase of 100 per cent over the census of 1S90 And there is every reason to believe the county population will go over 150,000
 Supervisor Smyer has strained every point to obtain the full population of Birm- ingham. He held his returns open ten days after the regular time in order to give opportunity to the man who wasn't count ed" to report and have himself listed. Out of 600 who called on the supervisor, in sisting that they had been overlooked, all but about 100 had been entered by the erumerators.

THE NEW YORK WORLD
THRICE-A-W WEEK EDITION,

The striking and important events
Of the last year have established the
Overwhelming value of THE THRICE-A-
WEEK WORLD TO every reader. For an
almost nominal sum it has kept its sub
scribers informed of the progress of al3
our wars and, moreover, has reported
them as promptly and fully as If it were
daily. With our interests still extend
ing throughout the world, wit b our
troops operating in the Philippines and
the great Presidential cam paign, too, at
hand, its value is further increased.
The motto of THE THRIcE-A-WEEK
WORLD is improvement. 1t strives each
year to be better than it was the year
before, and public confidence in it is
shown by the fact that it now circulates
more than twice as many papers every

We offer this Unequaled newspaper
and THE WEEKLY LEADER together one
