General COnolt10ne.
 The week a whole was generaiiy Ia vorable for growth and work. warmth and sunshine being about the average. though the latter was somewhat deficient in north ern counties; the rainfall was generally ample, fairly well distributed. and mostly beneficial. though 1t was sufficient to ae- lay work in northern and some middle counties. The condition of cotton. while somewhat irregular. and poor in Q few To- calities, is generally fairly good; In some middle-western and northern counties fields are still grassy, with plants running more to stalk than fruit. but over the state as @ whole the crop continues to make fairly good progress, with fields mostly clean, and plants of fairly good size and fruiting well 1: some boiis are maturing in early fields In southern and middle counties: while some fields need further cultivation. much Of the crop has been laid by; there arc scattered reports of rust. blight shedding and dying. Corn has been mostly benefited by recent rains. though some lowiand corn has been damaged by rain in northern and 2 lew middle counties. Fodder Is ripening in pulled from early corn. Peanuts. sorghum. sweet potatoes. field peas and gardens are doing well; cane Is generally quite rromis. ing. and more field peas are being planted as conditions permit. Hay crops continue satisfactory: grapes are ripening. promising a fair yield. and plums and peaches are still being marketed slowly. the yield being light. Melons continue to yield fairly we'll though still poor in some localities. Moro wheat has been thrashed. the yield being poor.

MINNIHETT WILL EAT
FEVER PATIENT TO HAVE A
 SQUARE MEAL TODAY.
Board of Health Receives Good Reports From All Sections of Montgem- ery--Neighboring Towns
 Raising Quarantines.

Today will be a red letter day in the
 life of William Minnihett, traveller and harborer of yellow fever germs
 For the first time in twelve days he
 meal MT. Minnihett will not have to
 pay any check on the meal. It will be on the city of Montgomery.
 Mir Minnihett will today be given
 parts of a broiled chicken. Tonight he will have for tea some white bread and some of the finest jelly. The good news that he was to get all of this was yesterday by Chief Clerk John Farley of the City Health Department on his daily visit to the Emergency Hospital The glad tidings were received with great joy by the Louisiana man. After informing Minnihett that he was to get a good feed at last. MT. Far ley and Inspector Hinderer busied themselves in some duties about the
 Emergency Hospital where Minnihett has been abiding for twelve days. They were startled a few moment later by hearing somebody whistling in a con- tented and joyful way. Could 1t be possible that some one had evaded the quarantine regulations and slipped into the Emergency Hospital to betray them selves with a whistle? They made a hurried search to find that the whistle
 came from the screened room occupied by the fellow fever convalescent He was sitting up in a chair, as he did most of yesterday whistling away as if there was nothing on earth to trouble him. The city health officials solemnly aver that Mir. Minnihett was looking about the screens and bars that surround him and whistling Hes Only a Bird in a Gilded Cage"
 The Montgomery Board of Health held a meeting last night in the office of the President, Dr. w. M. Wilkerson There was nothing doing for the doc
 tors, however. so far as the local sit uation was concerned. They met as a
 matter of precaution, however. to con fer and exchange information if there
 was any information to exchange. The
 health situation of the city was can vassed in a general way and again It
 was found, as 1t has been so often fou Id, that there was not a case of suspicious illness in Montgomery. No
 bulletins were issued. No bulletin was necessary. The Board of Health will issue no more bulletins unless some thing turns up, which is unexpected at present.
 Oficial notice was received yesterday from Mayor J. R. Young that Dothan had raised the quarantine against Mont gomery meeting of the City Council of Dothan was held Monday night and the quarantine was formally raised, to go into effect at midnight tonight.
 It was said yesterday that Wetumpka had also raised the quarantine. but official information Is lacking on that score Birmingham has not at present recovered her nerves. She is still suf-
 ferinT from the spell she flew into
 when she learned that a wanderer had come to Montgomery and developed yell
 low fever here. She will probably
 bring up the rear of the procession when she learns that towns like Qo- than and wetumpka. where people read
 the papers and keep informed on the mosquito theory. have raised the quar- antine.
