 Resolution No. 201 by MT. Duke:
 Whereas, there appears in The Huntsville Mercury the following article, to wit:
 "The past five days have been record breakers in the hot weather line, said a prominent citizen. have been unable to sleep until the small hours of the night and l am afraid we can't cali Huntsville a summer resort any longer. Last night I couldn't sleep owing to the heat, so decided to take a stroll over the deserted streets. Now if I was the least bit superstitious, would say that have seen ghosts. On every street I would see some white clad figure sitting in the windows, looking like phantons in the stiffness of midnight. Upon closer investigation the ghosts were found to be some poor mortal whose surroundings were as not as mine. This is the hottest spell we have ever had in the recollection or the oldest inhabitants"
 And, whereas, said article indicates a fearful state of suffering in the city of Huntsville from the immense heat in that section of the State,
 And whereas, Monte Sano, an erst- while summer resort is in close prox- imity the said city of Huntsville and must be suffering also from the h. tense heat of that region of the State. And, whereas, many delegates to this Convention state that, owing to the strong breeze. they were forced to close the blinds of their windows to nrevent catching cold on last night,
 And whereas. no such condition, to say the least, as that described in the above article prevails in the city of Montgomery,
 Therefore, be it resolved by this Con- vention that the citizens of the afore said Huntsville, and Monte Sano, be in- vited 10 come down to the city of Montgomery and look in upon the Con- vention. and remain in the said city of Montgomery during the heated sea- son. where the gentle breezes ever blow. and where no such appantions as that described in the said Huntsville Mercury ever disturb the citizens or Its visitors.
 MT. Grayson-Does that Fefer to the snowy heights of Monte Sano or to the low level of Huntsville.
