Boston, August 9.-AnotAer upset at Longwood has changed the complexion of the finals of the Longwood cup singles play. Robert Leroy of New York de- feated R. D. Little of New York this afternoon.

CORN AND COTTON

COTTON HANGS IN BALANCE

Selma, August 9-(Special,)-T. E. Gary returned Thursday night from the plan tation conducted by himself and Dr. T. P Gary, his father, near Benton. and his report on the crop Is of interest. Dr, Gary owns 5000 acres of exceptionally fine land ten miles from Benton. In Lowndes county, situated between Ash creek, Panther creek and Big swamp There Is something over 1000 acres under cultivation and about the same number of acres in pasturage. Tom Gary brought with him limb from stalk of cotton and several stalks of corn.
 'The corn crop" said Mir Gary, lis the best Lowndes county has ever had, in my opinion. The specimen of corn I brought back with me Is the Iowa Silver Mine and Pride of Nishna. an early variety. We planted in April and have been feed ing 1t to the stock for the past two weeks. Some of the fields of corn are the prettlest sights you ever saw. The stalks are twelve to fourteen feet high and are weighted down with the fruit Those who have planted the early VA riety of corn as we'll as the regular corn which fruits later, now have plenty to feed their stock and are not compelled to buy foreign food stuff.
 AS to cotton no mortal man can tell what 1t will do. told my father this morning that we will make between 200 and 400 bales of cotton and that Is about as near an estimate as I can come. This stalk of cotton, I brought back with me, is from a special field of ten acres which was plowed with a disc blow to a depth of twelve inches and was fertilized with 400 pounds of 10-3-3 fertilizer to the acre. As 1t now stands, if perfect conditions prevail for the next two or three weeks, we will get over a bale to the acre. Should a rainy season set in aiai the winds come I doubt if 1t will make half bale to the acre. The cotton crop Is just in a condition to either make or break at this time, and it all depends upon the season. Of course there are a num- Der of bolls on the plant that will not be hurt, but ther are squares and blooms that the slightest unfavorable season will absolutely destroy

Greater Birmingham is a good topic of conversation during these hot days and opinions galore are being expressed.
 There are few who have not yet fallen into the belief that the greater city Is the real thing" but the greater majority are still jubilant over the passage of the bill
 A few expressions gathered from differ ent parts of Greater Birmingham are here given:
 R. D. Burnett-"Think it is the greatest bill that was ever passed. Best thing in the world for the Birmingham district. Greater Birmingham is to be congratu- lated upon having two such able cham pions as King and Gray"
 W. E. Perryman. mayor of Woodlawn- T have always been in favor of Greater and think that Governor Co., mer should have signed the other com panion bill of MT. King. Think, however, that Conner did wise thing In amending municipal code bill so as to exempt prop erty and plants from taxation in eases where the city council thought 1t just. An increase in population from Ss,OO0 to 10000 in 1910 will be worth millions of dollars to this district. Think Woodlawn will vote for it 2 to l."
 J. H. Berry, mayor of North Birming ham-'T have always been opposed to North Birmingham becoming part of Bir- mingham. and think 1t is the worst thing that could have happened to our town"

few years has at la point the latest de ling with Circuit C 4ncAoory by Coroner Paris a v.e4elon for the appearance of President John T. Reid. of the Board of Revenue, to appear and answer to a charge of con- tempt, it being charged that he did will fully refuse to attend the investigation into the death of Grover Richardson.
 The cause of the differences has been the manner in which the board has turn ed down claims which Conorer Paris made for holding death Investigations.
 The climax came few days ago when Coroner Paris subpoenaed three members of the board President John T. Reed, Job Going and Capt w. H. Crook to at tend the inquest over tho remains of Gro- yer Richardson. who was found dead in negro house at Bessemer. Report had it that members of the board had referred to the case as being one In which the murderer was publicly known. and Coro- ner Paris stated that for this reason he desired their presence at the investigation. MT Going was out of the city and could
 
 mer and attended the trial, and while there 'phoned MT. Reed that he had not been called on to testify and 1t was not necessary for him to come out.
 While the coroner cannot arrest mem- bers of the Board of Revenue, he can file the original subpoena, with an en- dorsement of the charge written across 1t explaining the charge, with the clerk of the circuit court.
 The members of the board say that in this instance they have it on Coroner Paris, as he did not personally hold the investigation, It being held by Mir. Hous- ton. MT. Going states that Mir. Houston has said that he did not subpoena them as he did not need them, and claims that under these circumstances Coroner Paris had absolutely no authority to subpoena anyone.
 Coroner Paris filed his petition under section 1927 of the Alabama code, which reads:
 "The sheriff or any constable must serve the subpoenas, or they may be served by the coroner, and if any witness being sub poenaed, fails to attend. the coroner must endorse on the face of the subpoena his default, sign his name thereto and return the same to the clerk of the circuit court of the county. within five days thereafter, and such witnesses must be proceeded against In court, in the name of the state, as if he was defaulter therein: the en- dorsement of the coroner being presump- tive evidence of the default"
