by the German Ambassador Baron Won

circulated by a number OF papers in
western Europe to the effect that the
independents Of the two small states of
Holland and Belgium is jeopardized in

the one hand, that no reasons exist why
Germany should be solicitious for tile
annexation Of her two small neighbors

interest with theirs, and, on the other
hand, that there are quite a number of
reasons why Germany should oppose All.

OPELIKA ENJOYS
 GLORIOUS FOURTH
BARBECUE DINNER, AN ALL-DAY SINGING, AND A FIDDLERS' CON- MENTION ARE THE FEATURES OF THE DAY.

Opelika, July (SpeciaL) L)-The Fourth of July was celebrated in mag nificent style here yesterday. At the court house the citizens and visitors assembled for an all-day singing and speaking, while at the noon recess great barbecue was spread on tables prepared on the beautiful lawn of Lee county's handsome court house. The bountiful spread of this barbecue was enjoyed by over 5000 of the representa- tive citizens of Lee and the adjoining counties, who were the guests of Ope- lika. In the afternoon there were rae es at the fair grounds. At Baseball park there was a game of baseball between Alexander City and Opelika. The sing ing was under the direction of Prof. Y. J. Showalter of Georgia, the famous teacher, author, editor and publisher. Prof. Showalter was master of his vas. audience, and with those around him who had especially offered to be his leaders, and with three charming young lady pianists, Miss Katie Belle Hop son, Miss Fannie Trawick, and Miss Maggie Taylor, he directed the sing ing in a masterful manner.
 One interesting feature of the mora ing singing was when the Tallassec Glee club was introduced and favored the immense audience with severa' ! numbers. This glee club Is composed of seven gentlemen.
 Besides the "all day singing" the principal feature of the day was the speech of c. c. Whitson of Talladega. He was introduced by Lum Duke of Opelika and for one hour entertained his vast audience in pleasing manner, notwith standing the intense heat If the morning.
 The "Fiddlers' Convention" closed the celebration. Three prizes were offered: A barrel of flour to the best fiddler, Q half barrel to the second best, and the third best a fine box of cigars. Fid- dlers from all over this section took part in this contest.

HUNTSVILLE HAS GREAT CELE- BRATIoN OF THE FOURTH-ONE ARREST IS MADE IN DAY AND NIGHT.

Huntsville, July 5.-(Special.)- Abingdon cotton mills will start up to- morrow and run on full time, after standing idle several months, ever since the financial stringency became most acute. The agents of the mill have landed large contracts in the last few days. Employment will be given a full force of from $50 to 400 people. This is the first of the cotton mills of this city that suspended or curtailed pro- duction to start up on full time again.
 Huntsville's celebration of the Fourth of July was remarkable for it's lack of disorder. There was only one arrest made during the entire day and night
 Columbus Smith, negro wanted here on a charge of attempting to murder his wife, has been captured in New Or leans, after being at large a full year. It is not Smiths fault that his wife Is not dead, for he shot her several times with rifle and then took refuge in a swamp, finally evading heriff Mitchell and posse

CROP CONDITION
 VERY FAVORABLE
High Temperature and Show
 CTS Keep Cotton
COMPLAINTS OF DROUTH
Small Sections Report Lack of Rain, and Louisiana Suffers From Work of the Boil
 Weevil.

Memphis, July 5.-The Commercial Appeal tomorrow will say as to crop conditions in the cotton growing states of the south:
 High temperature and showers con tributed materially to the cotton crops growth. From Carolina to Texas it is now in the most satisfactory condition of the season. Tn ere are a few com plaints of drouth and some, as in South Carolina and eastern Georgia, of too much rain, but they are local. The only other complaints come from Louis jana where the boil weevil is numerous and doing considerable damage. The plant has made rapid advancement. In many sections throughout the belt the crop outlook is the best in years. Where sufficiently large it is fruiting well. In the latter sections blooms are numerous.
 Cultivation is excellent. In Oklahoma there was some further abandonment of acreage but cotton on the uplands has recovered in a large measure from drenchings. In the lowlands 1t Is much improved where cultivated properly. Elsewhere there is nothing to be de- sired in the way of cultivation.
 In Alabama Mississippi and Ar kansas the showers nf the week were local. A gooa general rain would be beneficial.
 In Texas boil weevils are spoken of but no important complaints of limb are made.

PHONE WHISTLES INSTEAD OF RINGING Bessemer Man Rigs Up Novel
 ContrivanCe EATON GIBSON SURREND NDERS Large Congregation Attends Welcome Services to New Pastor, the Rev. l.. F. SwalIow-Personal and
 General News.
EATON GIBSON SURRENDERS

Bessemer, July 5.-(Special>-A most unuue and novel contrivance in the form of a telephone call whistle is in use at the Birmingham Southern shops in this city The arrangement is an ingenious idea of H. H. Burkhardt the foreman of the shop, and is certainly far superior to any alarm that has ever been seen in this district for use on telephones around places where the buzzing and whirring of the machinery makes it impossible for one to hear the ringing of the ordinary telephone bell.
 The whistle is attached to the ordinary telephone bell box in such manner that when the little clapper that is supposed to ring the bell commences to move it throws a very sensitive. trigger that is attached where the bell has been re- moved and when this trigger drops it opens automatically an air valve and the whistle blows until someone answers the telephone. The party answering the tel ephone only has to touch the. trigger very lightly. when it falls back into po- sition and never fails to operate per fectly.
 It is almost impossible to attract the attention of employees working in depart ments where machinery Is constantly running, and this little contrivance solves the very annoying problem.

CORNERSTONE LAID
 FOR HIGH SCHOOL
THE OCCASION IS MADE ONE OF GREAT FESTIvITY AT FORT RHINESTONE AND FOUNDRY PLANT RESUME TODAY.

Fort Payne. July 5.-(Special "A crowd of at least 5000 people witnessed the lay ing of the cornerstone of the DeKalb county high school at this. place yester- day. The seats provided for the occasion were full long before the exercises be- gan, and the grove adjoining was filled with interested spectators.
 The grand procession, composed of the Masons, Odd Fellows, Woodmen of the World and the Farmers union,. formed in front of the courthouse and marched to the site of the high school where the exercises were held M M. Nicholson of Nicholson's Gap, G. M. Lowrey of Valley Head and w. T. Fuller of Battalle were the grand marshals of the day.
 The ceremonies were opened by a se- lection by Fort Payne's military band. The invocation was pronounced by the Rev. w. B. Hope, pastor of the Methodist church. Judge w. w. Haralson made the welcome address and was responded to by c. Y. Culberson of Valley Head.
 M. w. Howard made an impressive talk on the need of high school and the benefit it would be to the chil- dren of DeKalb county.
 H. s. D. Mallory of Selma, represent ing the Masons, also made an able talk
 The cornerstone was made of beautiful white marble and was donated by MT. Coats of this place.
 Fort Payne is to be congratulated on securing the high school for this county. as there were several places bidding more money than Fort Payne, but owing to it's superior advantages, being the county seat, and being near the center of the county, it was located here. Among the articles placed in the cornerstone was sum of 10 cents, any one could write his name and have it kept as a memorial In this manner quite a neat sum was realized.
 Tag day was also observed for the benefit of the building fund, and era wds of pretty girls passed through the great throng of people selling bricks for the high school.
 Two games of baseball were scheduled for the afternoon, but owing to heavy showed of rain were postponed.
 There was an abundance of dinner on the ground, and everybody seemed to be in happy mood.
 The whole town was decorated with bunting, flags and signs of welcome. The showers of the night before cooled the at mosphere and made the day pleasant, and long before the appointed time the peo- pie from all over the county began to arrive, to not only spend the Fourth but to see the laying of the cornerstone of their high school, not Fort Payne's.
 The Fort Payne Stove and Eoupdrxr company will resume operations Monday. and will continue to run steadily until the first of the year. This is a nice lit- tie industry, but like many others it had to shut down on account of the panic.

TURNER SOCIETIES
 START MOVEMENT
CLAIM THAT ANNEXATION DE- TENDS ENTIRELY ON ENACT MENT OF LAWS THAT SUIT THEM-SALooN REGULATION.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 5. = Leading members of the Turner societies through out the south met here today and started a movement which, it is believed, will have great bearing on the prohibition question. The Turner's represent foreign born citizens, and say that immigration to the south depends entirely upon the enactment of laws which are congenial to their people. The meeting was attended by the leading Germans of the south, and they say 1t is only the inception of a work which they will start throughout the entire United States, and which will first be given a thorough test in the south.
 Resolutions strongly indorsing strict reg ulation of the saloon were adopted, and a petition was drafted which will be sent to every village, town and city in the south for signatures. It will later be pre- sented to the legislatures of states where prohibition laws have been enacted or where there is any probability of such laws being passed.

THE ARSENAL IS BURNED

Port au Prince. Hayti, July 5.-A fire broke out this afternoon in the vicinity of the palace and senate buildings. The flames spread quickly, there being high wind, and soon reached alarming proportions. Four hundred buildings were burned including the courthouse and the prison. All of the prisoners, who included a number of women, were taken to other quarters before the building took fire.
 Sparks were carried to the arsenal which was also burned together with stores of powder and munitions. The destruction of the arsenal was accom- panied by many explosions. The fire men were aided by large section of the populace in the fight and force from the French cruiser Chasseloup- -Laubat.
 For a time panic prevailed, but later as the intensity of the fire diminished the people became more calm, though heavy explosions in the arsenal continued several hours after the fire started. The station of the Cable company, which is located near the arsenal was surrounded by flames and it is probable that com munication by that means will fsoon be interrupted.
