One Way Round.

An old man who sells produce in the
towns near Lowell, Mass. has his
share OF the best kind OF wit--the un-
expected. Not long ago he delivered
pair of dressed chickens to one of
his customers. She was in the kitch-
EN- when he brought them in. and,
woman-like, shivered little when she
saw the headless fowls.
II should think you'd simply hate
to cut on the heads of those innocent
chickens!" she exclaimed, involun-
tarily.
II do" replied the old man, "and SO

it,"
"How?" the housewife demanded
with eager interest. The heads OF
these chickens are gone"

FINE OUTLOOK FOR
 THE COTTON CROP
HEAVY RAINS, INSTEAD OF IN- JURlNG THE CROP, PROVED BENEFICIAL, BUT RAINS THIS MONTH MIGHT HURT.

Despite the recent heavy rains, farm CTS in Jefferson and neighboring counties report excellent prospects for cotton crop. Instead of doing injury the rains seem to have had beneficial effect, and the outlook in this as well as other sec- tions seems 10 point to an abundant yield
 Within a few weeks picking in north Alabama will begin. In the southern part of the state bolls are already opening. However. farmers say that much depends on the weather conditions of the next four weeks. Frequent heavy rains from now until gathering season would mar the prospects materially. In fact. it is said that some of the greatest crop disasters come as the plant neared maturity
 But the present indications are that Bir- mingham will receive at least as much, the chances are more, cotton than 1t did last year on account of the entrance of new buyers into the territory and be- cause of the increased warehouse facilities here

EDWARD A. SMITH RECEIVES INJURIES
Dynamite Cap Explodes and Pieces Lodge In His Body-Operation
 Performed at St. Vlncent's.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock Ed ward A. Smith of Martins Station was seriously injured at Thomas by the explo- sion of a dynamite cap He was picked LID and carried to St. Yincent's hospital where an operation was performed by Dr. Cunningham Wilson.
 Pieces of the cap were buried in Mr Smiths right side which made necessary several deep inclsions in order to remove them. He was placed under the influence of either while the operation was in pro- gross.
 MT, Smith is an iron broker and is well known in this vicinity. He has many friends who will await the outcome of his injuries with sincere anxiety The phy- sicians stated last night that the final outcome could not be stated with any accuracy as yet, but that the wounds would probably not prove fatal although they are serious.

REPORTSOF CRUELTY FALSE

Emil Lesser, president of the German American Immigration society of Ala bama. returned to Birmingham last night after a three-days' investigation of al- legged peonage reported to exist in cer- tain lumber camps In south Alabama and Florida and a general survey of labor con- dltions in those places.
 MT. Lesser left here Sunday morning and has spent the time since then studying the situation. He questioned both laborers and employers. He went over the ground in fills his prediction made before he under took the trip, viz: That no cases of peon- age exist or even have existed in the camps of the Jackson Lumber company. so far as he could discover
 A full report of Mr. Lesser's lnvestiga- ton was forwarded to the governor yes terday in the form of the following let ter:
 Pensacola Fla. August 1. 1906. To the Hon. w. D. Jelks. Governor of
 Alabama. Montgomery, Ala. Dear Sir-I have read the tales pub lshed in the newspapers about peonage in the camps of the Jackson Lumber com pany at Lockhart, Ala.
 | have listened to the testimony given before United States Commissioner Marsh here by five of the complainants. and I have spent an entire day visiting the camps of the Jackson Lumber company at and around Lockhart I have inter viewed nearly a hundred laborers. both immigrants and native-born Americans. have found not a single person who could or would make any complaint about peon- age or cruel treatment It seems the com pany will not pay the men any wages until they have repaid the amount ad- vanced for transportation, but all of the men l spoke too stated that they could leave if they wanted to. and that no force was used to constrain them to stay.
 l have taken statements of nine Ger mans, neither of whom could speak word of English, all expressing them selves satisfied with the treatment. There were a number of minor complaints, but none of any importance.
 If peonnge has existed at Lockhart, then all trace of 1t had been removed be- fore my coming.
 The company extended every facility to me to enable me to make a thorough investigation.
 The German vice consul at Pensacola authorizes me to say officially and posi- lively that the newspaper statements as 10 complains being made to him by Ger mans escaping from these camps are ab- solutey false; not A single German en- tered such complaint at his office nor made statement that peonage existed there to the contrary, one Of the i've mcn coming to the consul from Lockhart asking for work. said after being ques- toned as to the truth of these charges that they were false and that the men ere treated good. Respectfully,
