CLOSING DAYS ARE MARKED BY
 ACTIVITY.
As This is Last Day Collector HaIls WtiI Keep once Open Until Mld- night--l,sO0 Have

With one day left in which to pay poll taxes, nearly 1.S00 Montgomery County voters had qualified by paying their poll tax assessments to Tax CoI- lector c. W. Halls.
 At 4- o'clock yesterday afternoon, 1,127 electors had paid their poll taxes and at that time there was stream of people in the office. eager to get T chance to meet the requirements to vote in the Democratic primaries os this summer and the State election of the fall. sr
 Before the books closed last night, over i,so0 had paid their poll tax assessments. Last year the total mum Der was but little more than this num- Der and Deputy Tax Collector Charles B. Teasley is of the opinion that be- tween 300 and 400 will pay today
 All of yesterday candidates for coun- ty offices were busy getting their friends to go to the front ;~nd pay their poll taxes. The result was good and it is more than likely that the number today will far exceed any pre- vious number since the adoption of tho new constitution.
 The Tax Collector will hold his oi- fice open until midnight, but 1t Is urged that voters go early and avoid con- gestion at the closing hour.

FERTILIZER SALES
MARKED DECREASE IN NUMBER
 or TAGS PURCHASED.
Holders Of Cotton Believe that Report OF Alabama Agricultural Depart ment Indicates q Reduction of
 Acreage.

Participants in the cotton holding movement are much encouraged by statement of sales of fertilizer tags for the month of January which has just been issued by the Alabama De- partmeDt of. Agriculture and Indus tries, and shows a decrease under the figures for the same month last year and the years previous.
 The total sales for this month this year amounted to 7S2.165 representing 7s.210 tons of fertilizer. The sales last year represented for the same month 79,566 tons and for the same month Of 1904 there were sales indicating fha use of 90sss tons.
 It may be said that the holders ot spot cotton during the present depres- sion of prices should feel better at sight of this comparative showing. If the remaining months of the fertilizer season tally with this record one would be led to expect no bumper cotton crop next year in any event. There was aI- ready 8 considerable decrease of cotton acreage last year under that for the year previous. and the leaders of the Southern Cotton Association are vieoF- ously advising that there be nd, in- crease in the acreage this year.
 While the tags sold are not an abso- lute index to the fertilizer used, inas- much as there is always some redemp- tion, the figures can be depended upon to limited extent.

A Chicago special says:

A Chicago special says: s'
 The Chicago railroads won sweep. ing victory before Master in Chancery James s. Hopkins. who filed a report with Judge Kohlsaat recommending a perpetual injunction prohibiting ticket brokers from doing business in Chi- eago.
 "The case in which the master rem ders his report was a test case in which the Pennsylvania Railroad is complain ant. It Is also one of many eases which all railroads, East and West. began against the ticket scalpers prior to the opening of the Worlds Fair Although the railroads are complainants to the bills, the prosecution was begun and has been carried by the Railway Ticket Protective Bureau through Attorney Fred Babcock. Every broker in the city of Chicago was made defendant to the bills, and if Judge Kohlsaat fol- lows the masters report, ticket scalping in this city will practically be wiped out Some of the men whose alleged illegal business Is threatened are: George Bay, Jr..
