Will Have Exposition That WiIl Out-
 rival All Similar shows.
 New York, July 17.--Its correspondent at Berlin cables The Herald as fol" lows:
 I am informed on the highest au- thority that the government has de- cided to invite various nations to par ticipate in a great international expo sitIon to be held here in 1912. It IS proposed that the exhibition shall sur pass all the worlds fairs. not except ing the marvellous expositions for which Paris is famous, or the great American fairs.
 German promoters feel confident that tha records of progress in the art and sciences will enable the exhibi- ton to be truly magnificent and of url- precedented proportions. Plans or the fair are to be made which will be typi- cal of German thoroughness. The em- peror desires 1t to be truly represcn- tative or the modern might and great les of the German empire
 Berlin expects within the next elk years to have claimed the proud em- thence of being the continents urst capital In point of population and com merciaI and political importance aud will make most lavish arrangements for entertaining foreigners.

Foo Much Rain.

Rain today ana tonight. clearing to- morrow with light showers was the forecast sent out by United States Weather Observer Lehman.
 During the past thirty-six hours rains have been general over the en- tire cotton belt, the heaviest fall oc- curing over northern Mississippi and Arkansas. The Birmingham district has come in for more than its share, the heaviest rainfall in Alabama be- ing in this vicinity. The precipita- ton was .y3. Memphis had 1.92, Nash vile 1.24. and Jacksonville SS.
 The cotton planters are viewing the prospect with gloomy forebodings. as the probable abundance of sunshine after the rain means that within ten days there will be growth Of grass in the fields that will imperil the crop, IT the labor to chop II out cannot be se- cured and that promptly.
 The effect of the general weather re- ports can be noticed in the future mar ket, but as one farmer remarkd to- day 'T'd rather raise ten bales of cot ton and sell them for ten cents than to have my crop reduced to seven bales for which would receive thirteen cents"
 It would seem almost inevitable that a portion of the crop Is destined to get in the grass so badly that 1t will be lost. Just what the extent of this loss is to be depends upon the amount of labor the farmers are able to secure and can be told alone by the future.
