POPULATION OF
 CITY AND COUNTY
Birmingham the Best Advertis ed City in Country-fAore
 Building Than Ever

No city in the United States has been about as Birmingham, and It Is reasonable to say that nine-tentfs of the people liv- ing outside of Alabama think of 1t as a place Of hundred thousand population or more. When they happen to look at the population of cities in the census returns for 1900 and see 3s,4l5 opposite .Birming- ham they doubtless conclude that the printer made a mistake. and left off the figure in front of the figure 8.
 If the suburbs around Birmingham had been annexed in 1899 as public spirit ed citizens sought to have them, the cen- sus would have given this city something like 7O,O00 and the increase since June, 1900, would have brought the population to- day up to 75,0Oo. Add to 7b,000, which is Birmingham's population by rights. Pratt City, Ensley, Wylam and Bessemer, and we have Greater Birmingham with pop ulation of about 100000 Thus the outside public is not far wrong after all.
 The population of Jefferson county Is not less than 15O.0OO It was 140420 in the census returns, made over thirteen months age. and it's increase since Is estimated to have been fully 10000. In a large sense the Greater Birmingham might be said to include the entire county.
 There was a great. deal of building last year, but there is far more this year. Nothing was ever known here like it. even in boom days. In every section of the city and suburbs houses are in course of con- struction.

RELIEF FROM pRouTH.
General Rains In Missouri and Kansas
 Bring Joy to All.

Kansas City, Mo, July 27.-General rains which have fallen over the greater part of Western Missouri in the past twen- four hours have given that portion of the southwest temporary relief from. the drouth. Reports received indicate that the rains fell in the western half of Missouri and in nearly all parts of Kansas, with the exception of few northwestern coun- ties
 Good rains are also reported along the Memphis Railroad as far south as Ar kansas, and as far east as the Mississippi river. Rain fell at different points all of today and is still coming down tonight. Frederick Welhouse. the largest apple grower in Kansas, is authority for the statement that apples in that state will almost make full crop. Peaches grapes and late varieties of fruit will make an average crop. 1t is believed, if conditions continue favorable. Oats and potatoes in Kansas at least were beyond help two weeks before the rains came. ~
