trees that could be in bearing this
season yielded a full crop-there
| would be not less than 5000 cars
of fruit shipped out of this valley
Saturday Nights Work.
AS stated by The Sentinel Satur-
day, warnings were sent all over the
valley by the weather bureau, the
Chamber of Commerce, the fruit
growers associations. and surely no
fruit grower in the valley came up
to Saturday night without the lnowl-
edge that the fruit crop was in grave
| danger.
Saturday night men were on the
watch at the weather station in this
city all through the night. Shortly
after o'clock the temperature be-
gan to drop rapidly. 1t was clear.
| cold night. The fruit growers We're
kept in close touch with the weather
bureau. At an early morning hour
the alarm was sounded and the word
given to start smudge fires all over
the valley. Between IL and 6 O'Clock
Sunday morning the temperature
ranged in various portions of the
valley from 35 degrees down to 23
degrees in some sections. 1t was, in
deed critical period.
Many Did Not Smudgc.
Soon hundreds of smudge fires
We're burning in the valley. Scores
of fruit growers made desperate ef-
forts to save their crops; but. from
what The Sentinel can learn, the
smudging was not as general, either
on Saturday or Sunday nights, as
1t was one year ago when the crops
were in danger. Many a fruit grow
er made no effort to smudge. This
is almost past understanding. The
smudging cannot injure the fruit
and ii has been demonstrated time
and again that it has saved many
crop and the larger portion of
many a crop. Experts who know
whereof they speak and fruit men
who have had the experience declare
that had the fruit growers in this
valley smudged Saturday and Sun
day nights there would have been
practically an uninjured crop in this
valley today.
What These Men Did.
James l.. Hamilton. w. X. Haines
and r. e. Turpin made practical
demonstrations of the use of the
California smudging pots recently in
troduced in the valley, and men who
have examined their orchards state
that each of them has saved at least
10 per cent of their crops, while the
neighboring orchards that were not
smudged lost heavily.
Mr.. Haines distributed the smudg-
ing pots at. the rate of about 60 per
acre on 35 acres. His ranch is near
Rhone and is one of the biggest in
the valley. Hundreds of gallons of
kerosene were burned in the pots on
each night, but the temperature was
kept up pretty well and Mr.. Haines
feels greatly encouraged over the
outlook.
Crude oil is the proper thing to
burn in these newly introduced
smudge pots, but crude oil was not
available here and regular kerosene
had to be used. Even better results
would have been obtained from the
use of crude oil.
The value of these smudge pots

A DANGEROUS LAW
A FAR-REACHING ACT OF CONGRESS
 OVERLOOKED.
Biu Increasing Efficiency of Militia Signed by Presldent-Williams Declares It Gives Power to
 Carry on War Without
 Declaration of War.
Washington Aspt

Washington Special to New York
 Globe.
 That Congress at a single stroke in the closing days of the session added force of 150,00Q men to the army of the United States is 8 fact that has as yet become scarcely appreciated.
 The bill to increase the efficiency. of the militia, which was pushed through Congress and signed by the President, Is in many respects the most important piece of military legislation for many years. It went through Con gress with scant attention. The authority of the President over the Ma tional Guard is greatly increased. By this bill the National Guard has been converted into a reserve for the regular army and the relations between the guard and the regular force have been made much closer. r>4
 So far reaching IS the fact that John Sharp Williams, the Democratic leader of the House, declared on the floor that 1t gave the President the right to carry on war without a declaration of war by Congress and to send the militia into foreign countries. The bill had strong opposition, too, from such leading Re- pubIicans as Representative Tawney, chairman of the Appropriations, and Representative Payne. chairman of the Ways and Means Committees.

BEER FOR GEORGIA
BEwERs MANUFACTURE A SPECIAL
 PRODUCT.
COmtinue to Sell and There is No Revenue to State AlthOugh it is
 Inside The Law.

Milwaukee,, Wis, June 6--(Special.) That the South, particularly Georgia, is not dry, despite the prohibition lays, will be shown at the national conven- ton of the United States Brewers as- sociatIon, which Is to be held June 8 to 10, and the operation of the prohibit tory laws in the South will be one of the chief topics at the convention.
 Although the licensed saloon has passed away in the South, the conven- tion will be shown that liquor by the carload Is being distributed in the various states. The Georgia situation will be discussed in the most detail but other states show much the same conditions.
 The brewers are still doing business in Georgia, though the brand of beer which is placed on sale is no longer called beer, and has only about half the amount of alcohol contained in the old average. The articles now manu- factured by the brewers to conform to the state law of Georgia are called malt ale," bud" ''homebrew,' and near beer,~ and contain from one and and one-half to two per cent of al- cohol, where beer contains three and one-half to four per cent. Outside of these drinks, however, there are hund- reds of other connections being sold III Ine BTOCcPy SlOTcSs OEuB SIOTSS ana dispensaries.
 Although the state court of appeals has decided that the law fails to sti- pulate as to the amount of alcohol in the prohibited liquors. the brewers to be on the safe side have cut down the percentage to at the most two per cent, and say they are producing a beer which is not Intoxicating, though it is not called beer. It Is said that the near beer' tastes very much like beer, and Georgia is subsequently, as wet as ever 1t was. while the state has lost the revenue. 1t formerly obtained from the saloons.
 The tremendous demand for bottled goods has caused an increase in that output also. Some of the brewers say that even if the law is repealed, they will continue to put out their low H. cohol percentage beer.
 The great trouble In Georgia, &C., cording to the reports which will pc presented to the convention. Is that there is so much whisky being sold that some ministers, among whom is Dr. W. N. Ainsworth of savannah. are complaining that 1t Is difhcult to com vict violators of the prohibIrory raw because of the acquittaI of prisoners by jurors who are not in sympathy with the law

COMPANY NOT ARRESTED.

It was stated In Fridays Advertiser that Mir. N. J. Greil, as President of the Capitol Brewing and Ice Company of this city, had been arrested in a suit to recover S15O of license taxes by the State. This statement was erroneous. Mir. Greil was not arrested, but was simply served with papers in friend ly suit to establish whether the Capi- tol Brewing and Ice Company was lia- ble for taxes in the town of Greenville during the years of 1905 and 1906.
 The Capitol Brewing and Ice Com pany sold their products to retailers in Greenville during those years and shipped in car load lots to the ice com pany of that place that the kegs might be kept In cold storage for the retail CT.
 It Is upon this storage that the State Is suing the Brewing Company here for taxes for doing a wholesale business in GreenVille.

The Memorial Trees ia Our Capitol

The Memorial Trees in Our Capitol
 Grounds.
 It seems an appropriate occasion to end this week. that has been so rich in the revival of Confederate memories, with some account of the efforts of the Flower Lovers Association to preserve a record of the tres from famous bat tie Yields that were planted In the cap itol grounds during the administration of Governor (now Judge) T. c. Jones. To him is due the credit that most or the trees in the grove to the north Of the building are memetoes of historic spots made famous during the Civil War. After the Flower Lovers were honored by our present governor with share in the beautifying of the capi- tol grounds. the present writer was appointed chairman of committee to identify these various trees. with a view to having them marked for the information of visitors. Unfortunate ly, during the years that have elapsed since Governor Jones went out of office the original marks placed upon them have been removed or destroyed, and thus all record of their identity has been lost! except such as may have been preserved by tradition. or as may still finger in the memory of some of our older citizens, whose aid the as- sociation would be most grateful 10 have in recalling any facts that may be available.
 Though the kindness of Judge Jones. who accompanied Mrs. Wm. Gayle and the writer to the capitol for this pur- pose, such of them as he could re- member the history of were pointed out. But "one small head'--even so wise one as the Judge's-can hardly be expected to carry a horticultural directory for twenty years. especially when 1t has so many other things to be busy about; and so, out of the eighty five tres than stand around our capitol building, the history of only eight has been recalled, thus far. with even toler- able accuracy. For the sake of those who may feel an interest in the matter -and what loyal citizen of Alabama does not?--the following list is given;
