Honored g., Millions.

The total admissions to the World
fair were 1900, coo; of this number APP
proximately 100000 were officers. ex-
hibitors, concessionaires and employees
100000 were residents of st. Louis and
10 100000 non-residents. Estimating that
each nonresident visited the fair at least
four times, 1t would appear that 2,5oo,0OO
people came to ST. Louis in the seven
months and during this same period
more than 1,250o coo people passed through
the Anheuser- Busch plant. Never before
has an establishment been honored by so
many visitors and it Is safe to say that
at least one-half the people who came to
st. Louis awaited themselves of the OPP
portunity to inspect the greatest plant Of
its kind in the world.
1904 was the banner year in the his
tory of the Anheuser- Busch Brewing As
ISOLATION, its sales being 1.S65,T11 barrels
of beer showing an increase of 1863 949
barrels. The latter as an annual output
would exceed that of the majority of the
larger breweries of this country. This
phenomenal increase Is the more remark
able. because the past year, owing to
the long winter and abnormally cool
summer, was a decidedly off year for the
beer business. re total gain of the beer
output for the United States for 1901 was
al out 00oO barrels, thus proving An
heuser- Busch's increase Of 16S.s49 barrels
to be about 90 per cent Of that of all
breweries combined. Such an exception
ally good showing can only be attributed
to the excellence of their products and
the courteous treatment of their patrons.

dent Frank V. Tilford of the Commercial
club of Cullman has called a meeting of
farmers at the court house tomorrow at
10 o'clock to discuss ways and means Of
handling the cotton crop to best ad-
vantage. The concensus of opinion among

acreage of this years crop be cut down.
The farmers of this county are interest
ed and thoroughly aroused over the
situation and it is thought that the
meeting tomorrow will be well attended.

erecting a large building over the old
wine cellar on the wine-cellar property.

able that they will put in machinery for
the manufacture of crates, baskets and
other wares of the kind. Definite plans
have not been made but Cullman needs
an industry of this kind and If they re-
ceige the proper encouragement they will
proceed with their plans. There is great
demand In this section for berry and
fruit crates and a factory of this kind

opposition the criticism was chiefly
against the senators for invariably
amending House bills. and no antipathy
was expressed against the United States
for reminding Cuba Of her duties in
matters of sanitation. 1t was said, how
ever. that Cuba should carry out the
work of sanitation progressively, regard
less of any recommendations of the
United States on the subject
The Senates special committee on sani-
tation recommended measures granting
all municipalities s216 2-3 per inhabtant
for city cleaning, and sanitation with an
additional 20 per cent, and ten per cent
respectively for the larger towns, ac-
cording to population and Importance.
The recommendation was informally APP

RESENTED THE INSULT.
Thousands of Virginians Did Not
Want to Vote For Parker.

Richmond, Va, January 9.--The Vir-
ginia electoral college met today at noon
and the body cast its vote for Parker and
Davis for President and Vice President
respectively
State Senator Barksdale one of the
electors at large made a short speech
In which he said the college was not free,
might see fit, but in accordance with the
mandates of the party. Were they free
and untrammelled they would not vote for
Parker, but more than $4,000 democrats
of the state had cast their ballots for
him, and he bowed to their will.
IF it was a safe democracy" he said,
then it was insane. Eighty thousand
people went to the polls and voted, while
10000 resented the insult ana manage
ment of the campaign by the men who
four years ago turned their faces on
Bryan"
Mr. Barksdale said he would not work
for Roosevelt, but did say that Roose-
welt was fast becoming a good democrat,
and that IL he came further down the
road, the democrats would gladly name
him as their standard-bearer. For one.
the speaker would welcome the resi-
dent into democratic ranks.
Messrs Halsey of Lynchburg and Las
sitter of Petersburg protested against Mr..
Barksdales attitude.
Harry ST. George Tucker was made
president of the college. j. G. Hankins Of
Fairfax was chosen as messenger to take
the vote of the college to Washington.

FEAR MINERS STRIKE.
German Manufacturers Are Laying in
Large Supply of Coal.

Berlin, January 9.-The unrest in
the Reniash and West Phalian coal
districts increases and the possibility
of a general strike seems nearer. The
coal companies appear to be delaying
their replies to the miners demands
because as yet they have not reached
an agreement among themselves for
identical action.
The manufacturers are nervously
laying in stocks of coal in anticipation
of strike. The coal syndicate, the
collective selling agency, has not
raised prices and proceeds as though
no strike is possible. Reports continue
of government arbitration. The Tage-
blatt publishes telegram announcing
that seven thousand miners at Essen
have already struck.

NO. q AT RoBERTsToWN Is NOW
IN OPERATION-THE EPWORTH
LEAGUE CONVENTION BEGINS
TODAY-OTHER NEWS.

Bessemer, January 9.-(Special )-Furn-
ace No. at Robertstown, that has been
closed down for some time, was put
into blast yesterday evening. This
makes two of the furnaces in the Bes-
semer division that are in operation and
the probabilities are that three others
will be in blast before the expiration of
the present month.
The advancing price of iron, it is
thought, will have a tendency to start
all the industries of this division that
have been idle for the past several
weeks.
The plants of the Tennessee company
that are cold are in condition to be put
in operation whenever the company de-
cides to blow in the furnaces.
