BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

New York, October 4.-Bradstreet S to- morrow will say:
 While speculative markets, except for cotton, show reactionary tendencies, gen. eral distributive trade and industry are active, and heavy volume of business is going forward. All obtainable measure of production and movement for the nine months of the year testify to this. Bank clearings are heavily in excess of prev ious years, railway earnings continue fa- vorable and talk of scarcity of cars for different sections of the country is heard. Failures are more numerous than last year or in 1S99 but fewer than in recently precedl>S years, and while liabilities have expanded. this has been due mainly to few large financial suspensions before reported because current failures and lia- bilities are not as heavy as earlier in the year. The cereals are generally weak and weaker in all markets. Large receipts. liquidation by tired longs, and unsatis- factory cable advices, have weakened wheat slightly Export trade, however, fails to be greatly stimulated. Corn has weakened slightly on improved outside buying. to keep prices up to the pro- fessional liquidation, and poor export in- quiry. Western shipments are heavy and larger movement in this latter direc- tion Is looked for.
 Feature In Cotton.
 The feature of the week in cotton was the publication on Thursday of the gov ernment crop report, showing the lowest condition with one exception in eighteen years. Coming at a time when all the unfavorable features, such as small for eign buying and the threatened strike at Fall River, has been discounted, the

THE MOST POPULAR
 OF SCHOOL GIRLS Will Receive a Piano from the Age-Herald ENTHUSIASM OF FAIR ONES Has Been Aroused to the keenest Pitch, and Henceforth Excite
 ment of Lovely MaIdens Will
 Be Happily High.
ENTHUSIASM OF FAIR ONES
Both Phones, No. S55.

The enthusiasm of hundreds of pretty girls in the Birmingham District over the Age-Heralds offer of a handsome piano to be given to the most popular school girl in the district started the contest as auspiciously as favorable breeze would a yacht race and from now until the contest closes it will be watched with great interest. The Age-Heralds offer has been announced to hundreds of school girls through the courtesy of the principals of the various schools and the contest promises to be the most popular one ever conducted by the Age-Herald
 In it's notable contest some time ago when a handsome piano was awarded the most popular woman in Alabama, the in- terest was so great and the contest so successful that the Age-Herald in its present offer believes that the contest will create widespread interest through out the Birmingham district.
 There are probably more young women and girls in the Birmingham District studying music than in any other section of the South.
 The Age-Herald will, on Christmas day, give to the most popular school girl in the Birmingham District handsome piano made by Guild & Co. of Boston. This piano cost The Age-Herald s35o and is a valuable and weI1-toned instrument.
 Every girl in every school in the Bir- mingham district which includes Besse- mer, Pratt City, Ensley. Woodlawn, Av- ondale, East Lake. West End, Elyton, A>JI oII son county is entitled to enter the con- test Coupons as given below will be printed in every issue of The Age Herald. These coupons will be dated and must be voted within forty-eight hours of date thereon or else they will not be counted in the contest. On each Sunday The Age Herald will print the standing of each contestant up to the preceding Friday.
 Votes not received within forty-eight hours after the date will positively not be counted. therefore all ballots must be sent in not later than the day following the publication of the paper in which the coupon appears.
 This method will prevent any reserving of coupons to be voted at the Ia t minute and will make the contest absolutely fair and just to all contestants.

Meridian, Miss, October 4.-(SpeciaID D- w. F. Buchanan, at one time a resident of Alabama and one of the largest prop- erty owners in Meridian, died at o'clock this morning. He came here comparative ly poor man. and taking advantage of his business judgment accumulated a large amount of unimproyed realty. Much of the farm land he got title to is now occupied by business houses. and in the advance in prices he profited con siderably. He built the section of the city known as "Bucktown," which took its name from him. His remains were in- tered in Rose Hill cemetery this after noon.
 One of the largest funerals ever wit messed in Meridian was held at the Gen. tral Methodist Church this morning. when pastor and friends said the last woros

APPLICANTS ID
 SUCCEED BRUCE Judge Chambers Endorsed by Treaty Claims Committee
SENATOR'S WILL HAVE A SAY
President Roosevelt Exhibited Much Interest In Alabama Contest-For- mer Senator Pugh Recom-
 mends Winston Smith.

Washington, October 4.-(Special.)-Th United States Judgeship for the middle district of Alabama made vacant by the death of Judge Bruce, is attracting more than ordinary attention in Washington. President Roosevelt is taking much inter- est in 1t and inquiries of his callers from Alabama about the character and ability of the several applicants
 The Spanish treaty claims committee, of which Judge Chambers of Alabama Is a member, called on the President today to pay their respects. In the course o1 the conversation President Roosevelt mentioned the vacant judgeship. The members of the committee warmly en- dorsed their colleague, Judge Chambers, who was Chief Justice of Samoa and codif1ed the laws of Alabama. United States Attorney Vaughan, Judge Sayres of Montgomery and Congressman Wiley are among the applicants for the office. It Is likely that the endorsement mado by Senators Morgan and Pettus will have much weight in the appointment. Judge Sayres is a nephew of Senator Morgan. Senator Morgan is at present at Warm Springs, Virginia. but he is expected to return to the city in a few days. Senator Pettus Is at his home in Selma, Ala.
 In case a Democrat Is appointed the successful applicant would probably be either Judge sayres or Judge Chambers Former Senator Pugh of Alabama, dis cussing the matter tonight said:
 Leaving out the possibility of the ap- pointment of Democrat, I am satisfied that the bar and the people of Alabama would favor the appointment of Winston Smith as successor of Judge Bruce Smith has taken little part in local politics. has voted with the Democrats for State off1- cers and with the Republicans for Fed eral officers. If President roosevelt knew smith and his qualificatlons as we'll as I do he would not hesitate to make the ap- pointment- In point of qualifications do not hesitate to say that no Democrat h. could appoint would be Smiths superior. l am positive that Smiths appointment would receive no opposition by either of the Senators from Alabama"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the we'll known remedy, SYRUP OF FIes, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co.,, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa- tive principles of plants known to be incidentally laxative and presenting themin the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and levers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per- manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub- stance, and it's acting on the kidneys. liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative.
 In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. only.

Deal Sirs: You sell agood many things
by the gallon. Being decent men, you
give full measure.
You know what we mean you know
that short weight and short measure are
common among-well, we hope there are
no short measures and weights in your
town.
There are, though. Ribbons and laces
and trimmings, sold by the "dozeu,"
measure nine or ten yards, There is no
complaint, because "they all do it," You
have the same plague in your goods-near-
ly everything, canned or bottled, cheats
in the quantity. Almost nobody gives
full weight in a factory package
We are one of the almost nobodies. We
sell paint, by the gallon. to paint your
house; and our gallon is just the same size
as yours that you measure vinegar with
231 cubic inches.
Good paint too-Devoe lead and zinc
wears twice as long as old fashion painters
paint-lead and oil.
You own houses. That's why we are
writing to you.
Yours truly,
80 f. w. DEvoE & Co.
P.S. John Z. Jackson sells our paint
in your section.
