Daily Rains In Middle Alabama Are
 Unusunl Now.
 Gully washing rains have become so comn1onplace that they have gotten to be friends Of the family and are expected any old time by Montgomery. They come whether one has an umbrel- la or not.
 The watery weather has not confin- ed itself to Montgomery by any means. but has extended all over the South and unreasonable weather with excess sive faifs has prevailed over the South Atlantic and Guif States.
 The watershed of the Coosa and Tariapoosa rivers have had their share of the rains and as a result those streams and the Alabama river are up' in numerous places to such an extent as to inundate the lowlands.
 Flood warnings were sent out yes- terday by the local weather bureau by mail, telephone and telegraph. On ac- count of fairly heavy rains on the watershed of the upper Coosa 1t Is expected that the Alabama river at Moi1teomery will reach a twenty-six- foot stage by tonight. Twenty-eight feet of water will be shown on the stage at wefumpka this morning, 1t is thought.

 A string band furnished music and the invited guests danced the time away before the barbecue. which was served about o'clock. Seven hun dred persons were served. $40 at q time. There was camp stew, barbe- cued pig. lamb, and salads. more than enough for the persons served. and another small table was set for the late arrivals
 Speakers had been invited to enter but the weather was so warm that the speaking was abandoned.
 The piehfckers began returning to town about o'clock; some to see the baseball game between Montgomery and Shreveport. and some Co ettend to business affairs
 Altogether it was a most enjoyable day, and the treasury of Camp LoEihax was augmented by the large number of tickets sold.
 This is the first public barbecue giv- efi under the auspices of Camp Lofnax. and. judging from the great success 1t proved to be from q social and fifi- aflcial point of view. the friends of the camp will find the members always delightful hosts. if the members sus- tain the reputation for hospitality made on this occasion.
