Senate Committee Endorses
 BiN for Asylum Commission.

In the meanwhile Representative King who inaugurated the investigation has been informed by the Representatives and Sena- tors who were on the Legislative Committee with him that they could not serve if the pay was only $4 day. On the other hand the old issue Is raised that no member of the Legislature under the Constitution is en- titled to draw more than $4 a day no mat ter what the character of his work may, be. N The members of the committee agree that the point is well taken when 1t refers to a Senator or Representative serving as member of a Legislative committee. But commission. it is argued. is a different matter-a commission serving after the ad. journment of the Legislature.

legged to have been serious obstacles to the growth of Alabama, the present session has been slow about any radi- cal legislation. The members have carefully thought upon the after ef- fects of bills relating to tho conduct of the business affairs of the State.
 The antitrust bill was introduced by Senator John W. Overton. He became convinced that the Tsxas law went a little too far for Alabama, but he was hopeful that compromise trust bill would be drawn which would put an antitrust law on the statute books. The time is SO limited. however, that 1t Is understood that the Senate will not go into the matter of drafting a bill for trust regulation. It was thought that this could not be satisfactorily done during the last four days of the session.

Anti Trust BiN WiN Nof Be
 Enacted Into Lalu This Session.

The anti-trust bill will not be enact ed into a law at this session of the Legislature. The bill, for various reasons. will die peacefully on the Sen ate Ealendar.
 The principal reason for the death of the bill Is. the failure of the Texas law upon which the Alabama bill was drawn. The working of the Texas law has been far from satisfactory and there has even been talk of a special session of the Legislature to have the act repealed.
 The chief criticism against 1t is, that 1t Is a serious handicap upon com merce and has effects not intended by Its framers.
 In view of the criticism made upon acts of the Legislature because of cer- tain bills passed by the winter session of the Legislature and which were al-

n. G. 3. Beers Cotton Letter to c. n.
Cothran. Manauer

The feature of the week was the glow
ing reports concerning the activity in the
| cotton goods division of the market, ad-
vances having been established all along
| the line, and contracts for forward deliv-
| cry were entered into as far ahead as
1903.
/ Mills continue well employed, with spe-
! cial pressure for prnH1pt delivery Of cot
| ton goods.
In fact official reports tell of mills and
factories of all descriptions have so much
| forward business that new contracts are
, not taken except at full figures, and there
| is dissatisfaction because shipments are
not more prompt.
Wages have been advanced in several
important concerns, the telegraph COM
panies, which have an army of employees,
| included, and there are no serious labor
controversies.
, Iron and steel producers are receiving
much more business. contracts covering
delivery still further into the future,
many lines being sold we'll up to the last
quarter OF the year.
Orders are more pressing for metal
fixtures, the demand being far beyond all
precedent-steets and plates are scarcely
less urgent, and wire mills are unable
to make deliveries according to speciflca-
lions ON old orders, while new orders
come forward constantly. It's not posi-
BILE to discern any evidence Of reaction in
any section of the industry. Such are the
conditions in the Industrial life in the
