WAREHOUSE COTTON
sTATTsTTCIAN SEYMOUR SAYS
 THERE ARE 7I,ei6 BALES.
Reporfs Were Received From the 2o7 Public Warehouses in Alabama
 and Cover April 20.

According to statistics compiled by w. H. Seymour. Statistician of the State Cotton Bureau. there are 7i,si5 bales of cotton stored in the 2o7 public warehouses of the State. This report covered the storage up to and includ- ing April s5.
 Tn the future 1t will be interesting to make comparisons of these figures with other years in order to deter mine the consistency with which farm CTS are market their cotton crop in Alabama. It Is believed that there are half as many bales again in farm houses as are in the warehouses re- ferred to.
 Commissioner of Agriculture J. A Wilkinson returned yesterday from Washington, D. C., where he went to appear before the Committee on Az riculture of the House in behalf of the Davis bill for the promotion of agri- hrltural and industrial arts. Mir. Will klnson reports that there Is chance for the passage of this measure which means so much for the industrial and agricultural education of every State in the Union. Under it's operation Ala bama would get about $2OO00O.

D. Hall. George Wilson. and Claude McRae.
 Williams is said to have shot a negress in Boguehomme in 1907 and to have robbed a negro store-keeper of considerable sum of money. He was indicted in the spring of that year on the two charges of assault to mur- der and grand larceny. and, being re- leased on bond. promptly skipped Since the negro's disappearance. the entire force of deputies has been on the lookout for him. but until last night he had always been ahead of the game. Bill is not an expert exponent of the great American game, bur several times in the past year he lias beaten four of a kind with two pair--a pair of eyes and a pair of legs Up at the jail, they swear that Bill carries a pot Of luck with him. and they say that the sun never shines upon all of Bill at the same time-that any Montgom-

 This survey, as pointed out, has been confined to construction of water works only. while in other branches or municipal Improvements. such as build ings, streets, sewers, lighting systems. etc, equally important work is being undertaken or contemplated. so that it may safely be estimated that through out the South there is available or in sight at least S100, GOO, 900 for municipal work of some one kind or another. Moreover. 1t is work being undertaken l when most private business organiza- tions are pursuing a policy of re- | trenchment.
 This is a wise move. for the lower | cost of labor and materials makes It 1 possible to do construction work ar | a great saving as compared with year I ago. Moreover. public work of this l kind. while it can now be done to sucn | great financial advantage, gives eTn- | pioyment to many men who would | otherwise be idle and swell to greater proportions the number of the unem- l ployed.

ElusiUe Bill AlUays SaU the
 Deputies Before They SatO Him

cry County deputy Is within many wearisome blocks of him.
 It is believed that the much sought negro has all of the time since his arbitrary disappearance been in Mont gomery. and though the different deputies have received numerous tele- phone messages that Bill was hanging around certain localities. upon hieing themselves to the place mentioned. not only did they fail to catch him, but not even a glimpse of him was had. and the consoling statement would be made that Bill had just left.
 Last night. however. the never present Bill was caught in a triangle of deputies in a vacant lot in Bogue- homme Three large revolvers gioat- ingly turned their grim faces upon him, and poor Bill was rooted to the spot. or, speaking not inconseauently. treed.
 "Lordy, gemmen." he said T didn't know you was loolkin' fer me. I done seed you before" which was the truth in part. for Bill had always seen .neEs before--they saw him.
 Deputies Hall. Wilson, and McTRae are exultant over their capture. If Biii was swallowed up in anything but q hard and fast jail, they believe that he would turn that thing inside out and make an easy escape. The deputies like to look at Bill.
