LOCAL COTTON
 COMES SLOWLY
NO INCREASE IN RECEIPTS AT THIS PolNT-NEW CROP COMES IN SLoWLY-BlRMlN A GOOD MARKET.

Birmingham makes no boast of being a great cotton town though her com presses handled about 100000 bales the past year.
 In this respect Birmingham occupies a unique position among the cities of the south.-
 The actual amount of wagon" cotton brought here and handled directly by our home merchants and from which Bir- mingham gets full returns is from 5000 to 10000 bales per annum, and these fig ures, like the Birmingham baseball team. stand unchanged. There has been no in- crease in cotton receipts here for the past twenty-four years and no increase in the number of dealers in the staple Most of this cotton is produced in Jefferson and adjoining counties.
 Birmingham is regarded as an excellent market for the staple, always paying the highest inland prices, and on this account holds her own remarkably well. Only about dozen bales of the new crop have been received up to date, the farmers seeming to be in no hurry to place their product upon the market The price ranged yesterday for middling 10 cents, or whereabouts. The cotton which comes through the congresses of course adds something to the business of Birmingham.

Captain S. Catazano. representative of the Italian government in Birmingham, received announcement of the birth of the son of the Italian king in advance of the Associated Press report, which ap- peared in yesterdays papers.
 Captain Catazano immediately raised the Italian and the American flags at his headquarters, room 5, Roden building, and at his home, 243o First avenue Said he:
 Victor Emanuel, the king. declined to choose the title of Prince of Rome and for this he has the approval of all Ital- fans who believe in religious tolerence We want no embitterment between church and state. Many Italians are Catholics and many are not.
 'rhe title chosen. that of Prince of Piedmont, can offend no one of any faith, and l am sure it will become as fixed as is the title of the Prince of Wales.
 "The amnesty granted by the king meets the approval Of all Italians in this state. In fact we are loyal to that gov ernment. It is strong and liberal and we are proud of it.
 There are 5000 or more Italians in Ala bama, and I am exceedingly proud of their record. They are delighted with your country. and only ask the support of your laws Of course there are some bad men among them, but they are no worse than the average. Take them as whole they are honestSindustrious and courageous and I am sure Alabama needs and would like to have more immi- grants like unto them"

One of the Sir Reynards Crosses the
 Bessemer Electric Line.

The fox hunters can now go on the trail. Yesterday as a Bessemer electric car was rolling in this way a sly and frisky red fox came near being run over at point not far below here. When a fox and electricity enter race there is always rapid moving. and the motorman and passengers enjoyed the sight yester- day immensely.
 Now for the hounds and the horses and the race will be more even. The fox chase is an old time southern sport. and fast horses, fleet footed hounds with men and women in the chase, has always been considered glorious and spirited sport in this section.
 A red fox was caught just in the rear of the baseball park on Friday.
