The banks were closed. the postoffice OBJ

business establishments put the bars up
to their doors. large part of the popu-
lation went up to Birmingham, East Lake
and other points for the purpose of en-
joying the various attractions. and num-
Der of the local workmen took part in
the great parade. This all tended to leave
the streets in a deserted condition. and
1t seemed as though an almost Sunday
quiet had taken possession of the city.
In the afternoon team of Bessemer
boys played a team from Ensley In a close
and interesting game of ball on the
Fourth avenue diamond. The final score
was to in favor of the locals.
In the early morning Hendon Cockrell

morning.

w. H. Seymour president of the Ala
bama Cotton Growers says that the es-
innate on the price received for last years
cotton crop in Montgomery is entirely too
small. 1t was put at least $3.50 a bale
too low. He does not believe that the av-
erage was less than 10h cents, which
would have made the price per bale So. 50.
If Mr.. Seymour is right the 10000 bales
received by Montgomery for the cotton
year just closed, brought ss9.b,0O0 or
Sl275 more than was last week estimated.
Mr.. Seymour will go to the meeting OF
the executive committee or the Southern
Cotton association this week and will
be able to make a good showing for the
organization in this state. He made
showing in the Journal Saturday that in
dicated short crop in the state and also
that the farmers are not willing to take
less than 10 cents for the crop.
