Legal Poker Hand.

From the New York Telegraph.
 l wish that persons who know nothing of poker would refrain from answering questions about the game. A while ago the Evening Telegram. in answer to a query, said that four cards made valid. or legal" hand in poker, and the de- cision nearly caused homicide that night in Park Row newspaper office during a no limit game.
 Now q Cincinnati paper says that If ono card Is dealt to player on the draw. and some one else by mistake picks up the card, the one who was entitled to it can play the four cards in his hand.
 It Is this sort of talk that makes one lose faith in Ohio people. Five cards no more no less-make q legal hand in poker. No one Is playing your hand for you, and if you permit some one to take the card that is dealt to you it's your own fault. The four-eard hand Is dead. And even In Cincinnati, where I hear they play with the joker. this should be understood

Prompt to Pay Taxes.

Tuscaloosa. March 20.-(Special.)- The books of Tax Collector s. D. Me- Gee of this county show that the tax payers for the past year (1904) have been more prompt in the payment of their taxes than they have before in years, and that the tax sale will be unusually small. Out of $95,000 taxes $93,O00 have already been paid in. The books also show an increase of 5 per cent. The poll tax has fallen way short. For the year 1903 s2137 was paid, while the 1904 receipts amount to only $1201. This is largely due to there being no election this year.

 It was evidently the intention of the would be burglar to wait until the noise s,bsided from the crash of the glass and tren return and entering the store. help himself to what came handy. P. c. Kneipps' gun store was entered in this way few weeks ago and evidently the same batch of young thieves were again after guns and pistols. No clew as to who broke the glass has been found.

REPORTS ARE ENCOURAGING

Montgomery, March 20.-(Special)- From all parts of the state come reports of the heartiest cooperation in the move ment behind which is the Southern Cot ton association, and President Seymour of the Alabama organization Is receiv- ing encouraging news by every mail from Organizer H. Y. Brooke, who is making a tour of the southern section. Writing from Andalusia. MT. Brooke said:
 Today I addressed the largest audience of the trip. The farmers were here by large majority. The, perfected permanent organization by electing a full set of of. eouraging report:
 Tt is easy to reduce acreage here as the firm of Sessions & Co. is contracting with the farmers of the county for all tho sweet potatoes they can raise at 40 cents per bushel and this beats cotton at 15 cents per pound. People who nave cotton are holding 1t for 10 cents"
 From Geneva Mir Brooke reports: In stalled permanent organization and put it in running order. There was none before not even temporary. The consensus of those present was to the effect that acre. agD and fertilizer would be reduced re- gardless of organization"
 President Seymour was greatly pleased with the report from MT. Brooke to the effect that the Andalusia merchants had agreed to take the potatoes. He hoped there would be others to show the same interest in the movement. He realizes that this is fight in which all can join and in which the farmer and banker and merchant are alike interested. If the mer- chants will agree to help find a mar ket for the products other than cotton there will be a long step taken toward t..e end sought.
