IS DENIED A PARDON
CLARE HUMPHREYS MUST
 SERVE SENTENCE.
Efforts of Trends of Cullman County White Man Were of No Avail-Killed Fred
 Schuenling.

The State Board of Pardons at a meet ing held yesterday morning at the capi- tol refused to recommend pardon for Clare Humphreys, a white man of Gull man county who is serving sentence for murder.
 Humphreys killed Fred Schuenlng in Cullman three years ago. Schuenling is said to have cursed Humphreys and in the fight which followed Humphreys kill ed him.
 The county of Cullman was considerably stirred over the movement to secure a pardon for Humphreys. Public sentiment was divided over the proposition. A DOT ticn favoring and a portion opposing the movement for ciemency were formed.
 Opposing petitions were gotten up, both of them eagerly signed. In one the Gov ernor was prayed to show clemency to Humphreys and in the other he was urged to take no action which would in- terfere with the sentence of the court of 15 years Imprisonment.
 The petitions were presented to the Board of Pardons at meeting held over J Griffin and State Senator R L. Hipp appeared before the Board while it was delibcratirg the question of parloning Humphreys. Speeches floor and against the pardon were made. The Board at that meeting took the question under ad- visement
 The Board at yesterdays meeting de- cided that 1t would make no recommen- dation to the Governor in the case of Humphreys.

BRADsTREETs REVIEW.

New York, July 31.- Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Weather crop and trade conditions are seasonably favorable. Copious rains In the corn belt and in the western corn region have removed some of the uneasi- ness existing as to the outturn of these two great crops, and despite this pack wardness the outlook for general trade has been measurably helped. Iron ana steel buyers are still backward. Prices of the cruder forms tend lower, pig iron and billets both declining this week. though formation of pool to maintain prices in the latter product Is noted. The industrial situation has improved, the railroads are having all they can handle, with talk of congestion again being heard and the country's returns of cereal and food products promises better than year ago insofar as quality Is concerned.
 A favorable feature this week is the re- ported improvement in foreign demand for our bread stuffs, considerable quanti- titles of new wheat and old corn being reported taken.
 record breaking production of 1lg iron and the same Is true of the fiscal year ending June 30. In addition 956,00O tons of pig iron were imported, and the im- manufactured. make out imports of foreign iron equivalent to over l,6I6,00 tons. -
 This added to the production of IS, ,72o, 900 tons. indicates a total COnSumpLlOH III tnt past fiscal year of 2O,396,OOO tons. total of 100000 larger than that of the previ- ous year.
 The situation in the cotton goods trade is apparently no clearer. Reimports of American cotton from Europe are report ed heavy and large numbers of spindles are idle. The same Is true In the Eng fish industry, where short time rules. Despite the almost certainty that the crop has made favorable progress during the last week, prices of new crop cotton are higher now than two weeks ago. A fair summer business Is doing in drygoods. Woolen manufacturers are doing d fair business and buying steadily of raw ma terial
 No special activity is noted in leather and shoes. Hides are rather irregular. but shoe shipments from Eastern points are g. per cent larger than this week year ago
 Wheat, including four exports for the week aggregate 3.l9l, AZ bushels against 2, ,7s1, ,9S9 last week.
 Corn exports for the week aggregate BPS S39 against 15O1 ,33S;
 Railway earnings indicate an aggregate for the third week nearly fourten per cent larger than the same week year ago.
 Business failures for the United States this week number 190 against 1S last week. In Canada they number II as against 20.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1903-08-01
RAINS ARE GENERAL.
Excessive Down Pour May Affect Crops.


 The rains have been quite frequent in this section of late. Up to yesterday, they were not very general. being mostly in local showers. Yesterday, however, there was a regular downpour here for a while between Il a. m. and noon.
 The Weather Bureau rain gage register ed .2S of an inch in five minutes, 50 in ten minutes, and .65 in the twenty-eight minutes the rain was falling. The fall of .50 inch in ten minutes was at the rate of three inches an hour, which is quite excessive.
 The sewers and drains wese not at all strained by the run off which was dis charged so rapidly that the streets were soon dry again.
 At Clanton, 1.66 inches of rain fell in the twenty-four hours ending a. m, yes- terday; at Fort Deposit, 1.15 fell in same time; equal or slightly heavier rains fell in western Georgia and in portions of Mississippi, Tennessee. Arkansas and Texas; at Columbus, Ga, 2.54 fell. and at Luling, Texas, 2.52 inches
 These rains will benefit late cotton and corn. but the cotton crop, as a whole, will be damaged If the rains continue.
 A slight rise Is now In progress in the Coosa and Alabama Rivers. as a result of the rains.

MILITARY EQUIPMENT
NEW UNIFORMS ARE NOW BE-
 ING SHIPPED.
Soldiers of the Second Infantry Will Receive Theirs While in Camp in Montgomery Next
 Week.

Adjutant General Brandon of the Alabama National Guard. and his clerk. D. w. McIver. have been very busy the past two or three days asserting and packing the clothing and other equip ment for the Guard. The goods were sent here in bulk by the government, and had to be distributed from this point. The work of distribution has been no small matter. involving much work.
 The equipment for the First Regiment was shipped Wednesday night. and will reach Mobile in ample time for the en- campment, which will begin Monday.
 The equipment for the Second Regi- ment is being assorted and will be de- livered to the soldiers in camp here Thursday.
 The, Adjutant General said he would be glad to ship all the supplies to the Sec ond Regiment. but the time is limited and the uncertainty of delivery before hand being such a risk, that he is not willing to take 1t, and it has been decided to distribute the supplies here in camp at the time designated.
 The distribution will be in ample time for the parade in the city, which is to take place on Friday and will give the soldiers their new and bright uniforms and enable them to make fine showing.
 Major C. R. Brieken reached Montgom- cry last night and will remain here until camp is over. He says the Second is go- ing to do itself proud.
 The equipment for the other infantry regiment, cavalry and artillery will be distributed as rapidly as possibly, and will be gotten out early in the next week.
 The guns are to be shipped at once and it is thought that they will be exchanged in camp.
