 Good Cotton Market.

Good Cotton Market.
 Prattville, Aug. 10.-(Special. )--Ar- arrangements have about been completed which will have the effects of giving Prattville the best cotton market thls fall it has had in several years. It Is promised that the top of the market will be paid for cotton in future as 1t is done in other Alabama cities.
 The Autauga County Board of Rev enue Is in session here today looking after the general welfare of the coun- ty. Public roads are receiving much of tho attention of the Board. It is thought by some the condition of the roads Is not as good as 1t should be In consideration of the amount Of money the County Is spending on Its public roads.
 A large lot of cotton was sold here to Montgomery dealers by Mcqueen Smith and hIs partner at the price of 10 1-2 cents. When the lot is known to have numbered something more than such deal is. Parties lost some mon ey by holding this cotton. as they could have received last fall q great portion of thls cotton for more money
 News has just reached here that Will Oden, a negro who worked at the saw mill of the Autauga Lumber Company located at Spur, this County, struck anu hlllcQ OHe EE6II GutAST last EEAQAY night The trouble grew out of dis- pute over a trivial matter and finally Will struck Pratt over the head with q stick with result as stated. Both parties are negroes employed at the lumber mill and were in the commits sary trading.
 Will Oden was promptly arrested by a constable who took him to the man. ager of the saw mill to make his bond; this official rAfmRad La and he was carried to another official who likewise refused to make the bond, then the constable started away to hunt a place to keep the prisoner un- til next morning, when the prisoner ran over the constable and escaped to Swift Creek swamp. The constable, night watchrnan, and citizen shot several times at the fleeing man, but none of the shots took effect. The au- thorities are making Uigilant effort to capture this man but owing to the fact that Swift Creek swamp being dense and wide, if he stays in the swamp 1t will be dlflcult to capture him.
 Pratt Cutler, the deceased, walked home after he was in the trouble with Will Oden. and 1t was not thought at the time he was severely injured. but Saturday he was taken and a physi- clan was summoned who stated he could not possibly live. He died Satur- day night Strenuous efforts are being made by the authorities 20 capture Will and force him to stand his trial for murder.
 The Issue of bonds for water works and sewerage has been sold and the money deposited for the town. The work on this plant will be begun this week and pushed to completion. All recognize the necessity of these mod ern utilities of a city.

Negro Womon's Dress BLew
 Ln Fire; She Will Probably Die

 Charlotte Is employed as cook in the hou5e of Mrs. Esteile Barnett on the corner of May and Bell streets in West End. It was while setting fire to trash pile in the rear of the residence at about o'clock yesterday morning that the accident occurred which may result in the death of the negroes.

BIZ TREES ARE IN GREAT
 DANGER OF NEW FOREST FIRE


 Sorona. Cal. Aug 10.--Fire is raging in the vicinity of the great grove of big trees in Calaveras county. twenty miles north of this place. Although the flames have reached the south grove which contains some of the se- quoia gigantae, it Is not believed the big trees are in danger, as they stand in low marshy ground where the fire could scarcely find material to feed upon.
 A large force of men has gone to fight the Ire. however. Back firing is being resorted to to stay the progress of the flames, which also extend over the line in Tuolomna county.
 This grove should not be confused with the Mariposa big tree grove in Yosemite Park. which is 15o miles south, and contains tae famous Lin- coin, Washington. William Mckinley. General Grant and Grizzley giant trees.

JAPAN TO EXTEND FLEET
 A MOST CORDIAL WEI COME

Tokio. July 20.In the course of an address delivered at an informal meet ing of the members of the Yokohama City assembly, Mayor Mitsuhashi dealt with the forthcoming visit of the Amer ican fleet in terms of conspicuous cor diality.
 Among all the treaty powers holding relations with Japan, the United States. he declared, held towards this nation a unique position. Referring to the American appropriation of $1,5O0. .0O0 for the purpose of the Grand Japanese Exposition of 1912, the speaker said:
 Such an enormous appropriation. several times larger than that origi- nally proposed. Is no doubt due to the fact that public opinion in the United States as 1t ever was, very friendly to- ward our empire. As to the relations between the United States and Yoko- hama, although well known to you, may refer to the fact that the Shimo- noseki indemnity, together with inter- est thereon so generously returned to us by the United States formed the principal part of the first construction of Yokohama harbor, only a small amount hoving been added thereto by the government. With regard to for eign trade between Japan and Ameri- ca. I do not consider 1t necessary to give any statistics. Suffice 1t to say that our exports to America always ex- ceed our imports from them, ana there is every prospect that the export trade will increase year by year. Regard ing this export trade. I may mention that 1t is much larger from YoEo- hama than from any of the other open ports.
 'In view of our International reIa- tions with America and Yokohama's position tn the trade with that repub- lie. think it is necessary that the city take all possible pains as a host. to ex- tend a grand and cordial welcome to the American fleet nits arrivel here as the circumstances may permit"

I'm telling the truth just as expect to tell 1t on the wit ness stand at the trial, and I don't propose to take all the blame myself.

SKIN GRAFTTNGs.
Miss Germans Life Saved By Brooklyn
 Phyafefens

AuybACtGnH.
 New York, Aug. 1OA -BcSS>ved by the physicians to have been the subject of one of the most remarkable series of skin grating operations that have been performed in Brooklyn in several years, Miss Gathering German. 23 years old, has probably undergone the last of the operations which have saved her life.
 She was injured while at work in a Williamsburg store last May. when her hair became entangled in the machi- nery of a money carrying device and almost all of the hair on top of her head was torn off, carrying the scalp with 1t. She was rushed to the hospi- tai, where the physicians quickly saw that grating would be necessary. Six weeks ago the first operation was per formed, two of her relatives onrerei themselves as subjects. They were Miss Margaret German and a cousin, whose name is withheld. They were chosen in preference to several young women who volunteered as friends of Miss German. The wound upon which the skin was grafted was twelve inches in circumfrence.
 Patches of skin three inches square were removed from the legs of the per sons giving their skin. after an anes- thetic had been administered. Then the skin was placed upon the wound, forming what the physicians termed skin islands" From the edges of the islands" new skin quickly formed and spread until all were covered. In two of the operations, the skin was remov- ed from the leg of Miss German.

How TsIands Get Forests.

Darwin explains how islands get their forests in this manner: He took from the foot of a woodeock a cake of dry earth in which was a seed of the load rust. He planted the seed and 1t germinated and lowered. Professor Newton sent him the leg of a part ridge which had been wounded and un- able to fly. Attached to it was a clod of earth weighing six and one-haif ounces. He broke up the clod and placed 1t under a bell glass. No fewer than eighty-two plants sprang from 1t. It is the more interesting to know that the clod of earth containing this treas ury was kept three years before plant ing.
 of various trees have been carried and deposited on far-away islands where the product has grown and increased.

WRIGHT MAKES ANOTHER sUC-

Two False Starts Were Made Early in Afternoon, But Wright Was
 Not Dismayed And Final
 Iy Succeeded. Lemans, France. Aug, 10--After two false starts Wilbur wright, the Dayton, ascension here shortly before o'clock this evening. The machine flew about 1 two kilometres Q.24 miles) in one minute and fortyfive seconds, of- ficial time. Owing to the lateness of the hour. Mir. Wright decided not to try a longer run. The flight was viewed by several thousand people. Evolutions of today were carried out with the same ease and mastery as those of Saturday. MT. Wright caused the machine to swerve out of direct line of flight and to describe two loops, like great figure eight. The first false start was due to the olumsiness of an assistant who held the aeroplane too long, thereby causing its right wing to touch the ground and of giv- ing the machine such an unmanageable tilt to starboard that Mir. Wright made a landing after traversing only fifty feet On the second trial Mir. Wright got away we'll and the machine rose to thirty feet It had travelled 500 feet when suddenly 1t approached too near the branches of some trees. The motor not lLS IuncLlOnS property and MT. Wright descended in good style.
 Undismayed by these two failures. Mir. Wright. just at dusk. again ascend cd and this time sailed up and down the field at varying heights and finally landed directly in front of the grand stand to the accompaniment of burst of applause.
 M. De La Grange. the well known aeronaut who was the first person to seize Mir. Wright's hand after the ex- hibition told the Associated Press that Mir. Wright certainly was a marvel. He did not consider that today's mis- hap denoted doubtful control of the aeroplane.
 Leon Bouee. another expert was of the opinion that the Wright machine showed the greatest perfection of any he had seen. "I consider Mir. Wright genius" added M. Bollee, 'his only mistake lies in his trying to make all the parts of his machine himself for with the aid of experts in their manu- facture, he undoubtedly would have a finer and better whole"
 It is probable that he aviator will give further demonstrations tomorrow
