Many conditions and influences seem
to have combined lately to act in de-
triment to the river trade. The shot
gun guarantees established at many
points along the river have caused the
passenger business to be entirely sus-
pended, the almost continuous rains
have rendered it impossible for the
planters 10 thrash their rice, and ex.
pectations for short crop Of cotton
have caused the cotton planters To-
give light orders for harvesting sup
plies, such as bagging ties and seed
sacks Yet in spite of these discour
aging features the boats get suffi
cient trade to warrant them continn
ing their trips, and all are waiting
for the Marine Service to stamp out
the fever in New Orleans and for the
weather conditions TO improve, when
il is expected that business will re-
sumo its usual proportions.-New Or

HOW EWSPAPER EXPEDITION
 FAILED TO REACH MINNIHETT

your copy back to town if you'll stay at the pest house for the next ten days"
 The expedition retired to consider the proposition. It was decided to re- jest the generous offer of MT. Mcintyre.
 The newspaper expedition didn't con- sider it any hardship to be quaran- tined from the upstairs writing force of The Advertiser, where Its members are by force of circumstances com pelled to listen to the reading of al- legged poetry and the perpetration of ancient jokes. So far as the quaran- tine went in the direction it would be. in the language of the negro exhorter, mo depravity." But to be quaran- tined from the cashier and the brown envelopes for a ten-day period was something awful The members of the expedition recoiled from the horrors of such quarantine.
 Chief Clerk Farley was high up to take the two members of the newspa- per aggregation out to see his pretty pest house. He Is tickled to death over Montgomery's model pest house and he wanted all of Alabama to know that Montgomery has the prettiest and best institution of that sort in the South Moreover he handles smallpox and yell low fever like other people handle dry goods and provisions. To him small pox and yellow fever are no great shakes after all.
 He was pleased to be the guide of the expedition and permitted the pre- liminary arrangements, saying it was all right so far as he was concerned but he would have to mention the mat ter to the Acting Mayor. The stan correspondent and the staff protogra- pher went merrily ahead. making ready for the trip and believing that speak ing to the Mayor was only a matter of form.
 But the Mayors veto was slapped on when the expedition was about to en- ter the carriage for the three-mile drive.
 The staff photographer was equipped with fine camera, a tripod, & dozen films. plates and a fashlight pistol The equipment of the stan correspond ent for the expedition was a bunch of copy paper, a No. pencil and six nickel cigars of the Early Dutch va riety. The cigars were to be used as disinfectant and anti skeet" He tried one of them before the Acting Mayor was encountered The stan photographer. who was in the range of the smoke, bore his sufferiags muteIy and with fortitude for awhile. but at last he protested.
 IT you are smoking that thing for enjoyment" said the photographer, "all I've got to say is you've got mighty poor taste. If you are smoking 1t as disinfectant, I think 1t better for all concerned If you would throw 1t away and light one of these little sulphur sticks which, goodness knows, smells loud enough. but which is at least an improvement on the smell of burning garbage that is so violently assaulting the atmosphere"
 The other five cigars. when the ex- petition was tabooed, were turned over to Chief Clerk Farley They will be used In disinfecting some down town cellars.
 And this is the story of the story that was not a story.

WEATHER roo DRY.
Farmers of Gadsden Say they Are in , Need of Hain.

Gadsden. Aug. 9.-(Special )-The continued dry weather has injured the cotton and corn and all other crops in this section. The farmers did not get all of their cotton land in this spring on account of the rain. and now what they did get planted is about to burn up for the want of rain. The cotton has suffered more than the corn. though the corn crop is badly in need of the rain. In some sections of the county the farmers say that their. crops have not had a good rain on them since they have been planted. A shower this morning and the prospects of more rain will make the gloomy farmers more hopeful of- making a half crop.

 The fire department, after long period of inactivity, was called yes terday to answer two alarms.

 The lightning was quite sharp and near during the height of the squall and the wind blew at the rate of twen- weight miles per hour from the\west for a short while.
 The sudden rainstorm was caused by a moderate storm area which moved across this section. It cooled the air very perceptibly, and the downpour of rain flushed all the gutters and sewers in fine shape.

The Name of wady."

The name Of lady" has SO long
been "soiled by all ignoble use" that
1t has become to all intents and pur-
poses exactly synonymous with that
of woman. 1t is not odd, therefore,
that in a case heard in local court
last week, the attorneys referred to
their clients, women from the city's
least savory quarter, as "this lady
and chat lady" The Judge, how
ever, objected to this application OF
the name, and requested the lawyers
to use some other designation. Rare
instances such as this indicate that
the word retains for some little OF
its old time fragrance, but nothing
can now arrest its ultimate degrade
ton. Some noble words are abased,
and some mean words are exalted,
and no lone efforts can prevail against
the current of popular usage, a cur
rent that takes some strange twists
at times For instance, a few days
ago in local restaurant which has
one side set apart for women, and en-
ploys a waitress to attend to their
wants, one of the walters was told a
patron on that side was not being
waited upon. 'I'm not, going to wait
on fler,' he replied, 'tney. keep lady

Explains CoIors OF EYES.

Prof. Wallace of the School OF
Mines, Kimberley, says, Mr.. Vincent
Napier of the latter place suggested
to him the possible explanation of the
difference in color of the light -e-
fiected from the iris of the eyes OF
different people, and that it was in
accordance with the natural law of
protection against external influences.
He pointed out that people hailing
from regions where blue light is pre-
dominant-Swedes, Norwegians and
sailors, for instance-have blue eyes,
while near the equator or in sandy
climes, such as South Africa, where
intense yellow light is experienced,
the eyes take a rich dark yellow hue,
as those Of the Kaffirs and Malays,
Italians and Spaniards. The Scotch
have blue, the English gray and the
French dark eyes, generally speaking
