Pulliam is a prominate young farmer

ant gentle man would have the good
taste to quietly step aside and leave
the contest in the second primary en-
tirely with the people. 1t seems how
ever, that the gentleman can't realize
that he is entirely out of the race, and
every day or so he is out in an inter-
view striving to discredit with the
people the gallant young gladiator
who put him in permanent retirement.
He is still talking about what he had
intended to do if elected Governor.
This is all in very poor taste, and of
little interest to the public, and Mr..
Charley ought to bunch himself awake
and go away back somewhere and sit
down.

MORRIS HOTEL IS
 SOLD TO GRIEL
MONTE OMERY MAN BIDS $265,ooo FOR WELL KNOWN HOSTELRY. BIDDING WAS SPIRlTED-WAS STARTED AT $175,o0o.

After much spirited bidding and sharp competition the Morris hotel was sold at auction yesterday to M. L. Griel of Montgomery for $265000.
 A large number of prominent citizens of Birmingham and other cities attended the sale, and the crowd of spectators was largely added to by the number of peo- pie who were about the court house on account of the election.
 John W. Altman, register in chancery, acted as auctioneer and began by reading the description of the property being of fered for sale, and the order of sale by the court. The first bid was $175,OoO which was immediately raised to $200,000. Then followed several bids, each being a 1000 increase. until s23O.OOO was reached. From that on the jumps were 5000, Steiner Bros. of Birmingham bidding $2550o0 for the property. The next bids raised it to $265 ,GOo at which price M. l.. Griel of Montgomery was declared the purchaser.
 MT. .Griel declined to make any state ment about his intentions in reference to the hotel, but nothing definite can be said or done in the matter until the sale is con- frmed by the chancery court.
 It is probable the register will report the sale today, after which it will be or dered to lie over for at least day for exceptions.

BILL A TRAVESTY, Says Richardson Of Substitute to 16- Hour Bill-House Refuses to Adopt.

Washington, February 1S.-By vote of D to 169. the house, under suspension of the rules, refused to adopt the substitute recommended by the interstate and for eign commerce committee to the so-ca He'd LaFoliette ''sixteen-hour bill" to pro. mote the safety of employees and travel CTS on railroads by limiting the hours of service of employees. The amended bill was sent to conference, q two-thirds vote being required.
 MT. Esch of Wisconsin said the neces- sity for the legislation was extremely pressing in view of the ever-increasing number of railroad accidents with atten- dant loss of life and property.
 MT Atkinson of Georgia wanted the house to adopt the LaFoiiette bill, be- lieying that 1t accomplished more than the substitute recommended by the com mittee.
 Messrs. Bartlett of Georgia and Rich ardson of Alabama were also in the op- position, MT. Richardson saying that the bill Of the majority not only did not re- lieve the situation complained of but legalized the working railroad employees more than sixteen hours. He declared that the bill was a trayesty.
 A number of republicans voted with the democrats against the substitute.

At the New Gayety.

Harry Bryant's Extrava9anza. connnanv opened at the Gayety theatre yesterday with two large audiences, and the com pany made hit. It has bunch of pretty girls in the chorus, an olio with half q dozen crackerjack acts, and some eemedl- ans who are well worth seeing.
 The company inaugurated the gold bond plan yesterday and this tended to bring great many people to the theatre, all though election day interfered with the crowds. By this plan money Is given away at every performance during the week, the preferred gold bonds being re- deemed for from s1 to s5 each.
 The ollo is the feature of this weeks bill, and the Kitamura Japs are the feat ure of the olio The team consists of six Japs, and they are all skilled acrobats tumbling. performing all kinds of feats In balancing and the finale of the act Is one that has never been seen In il theatre in Birmingham. One of the Japs slides from the back of the ''roost" to the stage on a tight rope making one of the biggest features that was ever seen in Birmine- ham. The fact that he slides over the heads of the audience increases the effect of the act.
 
 act In the olio. He performs the most df- foult feats with the clubs so skilfully that they appear easy. He is good. Jen- nie and Rose Albert a team of singers and dancers, follow with some clever stunts, especially their dancing.
 Bush and Elliott. acrobats and comedi- ans, made a hit, especially the comedian who Is funny. The act has some hard feats and the two men are good aerobats. Charles Watson and Martha Hableman sing songs and tell some stories, and they are followed by Banks and Newton, sing CTS, dancers and story tellers. Newton Is the best clog dancer that Birmingham has seen In a long time. and he introduced much novelty dancing In his act.
 There are two comedies in the perform anee, and there Is no end Of song num- bers, many of which were written espe- cially for this company, which insures their being new. Harry Bryant Is con- reputation of always having a good show, which reputation he lives up to in the company he has this week.
 There are two performances daily, and on Friday there will be a special holiday matinee on account of Washington's birthday.
 The following are the numbers of the gold bonds that won prizes yesterday aft ernoon and night at the Gayety: 55l1, 1l531. 95l2 1g74l. 1s535 and 101. The holders of these bonds can have them redeemed at either the matinee or night performance all week. but they must be In the audi ence.

"A Messaae From Mars. :"

The lesson of unselhshness is well taught in "The Message from Mars . which was at the Jefferson theatre yes terday afternoon and evening. The mat lnee attendance was good, but the audience was small at night. smaller than the play deserved
 The play is produced by east which contains several good players, the best of whom is probably Wallace Widde- eombe, in the part Of Horace Baker, the selfish man who dreams that he is vis- tied by a messenger from Mars vino teaches him to be unselfsh. Norman Macdonald, a tramp, is also an excellent character in the play. Of the women, Nellie Blanchard as Aunt Martha and Gail Leighton as Minnie Templar are good.
 "rhe Man from Mars has been to Birmingham before. It is the story Of a selfish man who refuses to accompany his family to a reception. He drops to sleep and dreams that a messenger from Mars visits him and carries him through some terrible ordeals1 in order to show him how selfish he is and to break him of this fault, which the messenger finally sue eeods in doing. It Is one of the few plays which has a big moral lesson.

BIRMINGHAM GAINS IN COTTON RECEIPTS This Will Be a Record Breaking
 Year EXCEPTIONAL FACILITIES
When Headquarters of the Southern Cotton Association Are Removed Here From Atlanta, Prestige
 Will Be Enhanced.

Birmingham as a cotton market will make. 1t Is believed. q record this year. The receipts here last year ending Sep tember 1, were 11e556 bales, including about 5000 bales that went 10 the local mills. The compress receipts np to Feb ruary 1 of the current cotton year, were sS, S,2S5 bales. From the outlook now the compress receipts on September next will show a total of between fe5,ooo and 1s0.6Oo bales.
 Birmingham, with many enterprising buyers, with exceptionally good banking facilities and with a large warrant ware house where cotton is stored at a very low rate of insurance and where 1t is kept in perfect condition, has taken a strong position in the cotton world. Ii is predicted that the time is not far dis tant when the south will raise 2o,0oO- 600 crop. A few years ago no one per haps dreamed of such a mammoth yield. It would have been regarded as almost unthinkable; but so steadily is the de- mand for the staple increasing that to- day it is believed when the south reaches the 20,oo0,0o0 mark the world will need the entire crop.
 Following is list of the cotton buyers in Birmingham: Howell Cotton company, Merchants Cotton company, c. H. Me- Fadden & Bro. Knight, Yancey & Co.,, Inman, Akers X lnman J. H. Arnold & Co. Woodward X Stlllman, and A, P. Strnger & Co. Besides these firms a number of cotton factors are engaged in business here.
 It seems probable that the headquar- ters of the Southern Cotton association will be removed from Atlanta 10 Bir- mingham. It is known that President Harvie Jordan favors this city because of its more central location and its ex- ceptonal warehouse facilities
 Birmingham is great railroad center, but cotton buyers say that before the volume Of business can be greatly in- creased the transportation companies will have to arrange 10 handle the crop more eXpedlousy. In the big cotton markets the staple has the right of way. In this district iron and coal tane precedence, but when Birmingham becomes head quarters Of the Southern Cotton assocla- ton traffic officials will be induced to give tine cotton interest special attention and do as well by this market as they do by others, where the staple is now tho mainstay.

URQUHAR7 DISCUSSES HIS
 BILL ON PISTOL VOTING

[ The postol-toting bill which I intro duced in the house has been fought out in tho committee, and I think that it will be reported this week" said Repre- sentative Urquhart of Jefferson yester day morning just before leaving for Mont gomery. "The bill met with a great deal of opposition in the committee, as there were three or four bills to regulate pistol toting, and l think that the fight In the committee was the most strenuous of the entire session so far.
 My bill provides that q reputable cit- zen may make application 10 the judge of probate for license to carry pistol, but that he must show good cause why he should be allowed the privilege, and he must also have the application signed by six taxpayers and property holders be- fore it can be considered by the judge of probate.
 "The most important clause of the bill,
