Rice ana MayneId Tell Constituents
 About It.
 Tuscaloosa, Aug. 15.-(Special.)- Representatives Rice and Mayf1eld from this county, who came from Montgom- cry yesterday afternoon to spend the recess in an interview last night de- nfed that they had placed their bill. commonly known as The where did you get that booze?" before the Leg islature asking that it be acted on as 1t was an act which was necessary for their county.
 The Representatives disclaim that the biil is more drastic than many others that have been presented and say that it more directly aims at putting down the blind tiger" than any other bill presented. The object of these prohi- bition laws is to stamp out the blind tiger" but the trouble in doing this has been to get evidence sufficient to convict.
 They claim their bill goes to the root of the matter and demands of the patron of the blind tiger" to divulge where he got the booze. If the per son purchased 1t legally from some out-of the-State firm, he will not hes itate to tell. but if he does not buy il legally. then he should be forced to tell where he secured then whiskey.

FEELING RUNS HIGH
BIRMINGHAM MEN FIGHT %OvER
 PENDING BILL.
Commission Form of Government Has Divided Citizens and More TrOu- bie Said to Be Ex-
 Dected.

Birmingham, Aug. 5.-(Special)--Sc intense has become the discussions or the proposed Iaw-providing commits sion form of government for Birming- ham and other towns ana cities in Ala bama. that serious difficulties are looE- ed for in this city at any momenl
 Already personal difficulties nave taken place on the streets and some hard things are being said by men against others on the streets and some cards are being published fn the news papers.
 At the mass meeting held last week by the advocates many things were said and those who are opposed to the proposed measure were spoken of In no complimentary way. t
 The greater portion of the comment appears to be centered on the City Council in Birmingham and the re- marks are not altogether directed at the Council as a body but many per sonaIitfes are being indulged in.
 The tilt between Former Police Chief c. w. Austin and Alderman John w. O'Neill in which the latter was struck in the face, is believed to be starter to other things that may de- velop.
 A large delegation of citizens will go to Montgomery, to attend the Legisla- ture, during the week, and no effort will be left undone to bring about the passage of the bill on che commission form of government. This mode of op- erating the towns and cities will be one way oS bringing about strict en' forcement of the prohibition laws, Il is set forth, while better results are promised than by the aldermanic sys- tenn.
 Dozens of men have promised to give their efforts in behalf of the bill and beginning tomorrow and continuing every day until the matter has been settled crowds will go to Montgom- cry.
 In the meantime. the anti-commis' sion form people are not idle. They too, will send strong delegations tc Montgomery. Lieutenant Governor Gray is bitterly opposed to the pro posed law but leaders of the other side assert that his influence can be over come and the work is being carried or with that understanding.

ONIONS IN TEXAS.
Growers Clear Over seoo. 900 on (

Growers Clear Over ee0O.0 on Crop
 San Antonio. Tex, Aug. 15.-(Speciai) That the Southwest Texas onion growers have cleared over $600,ooo on this years crop is now an established fact. Divided- among about 500 grow CTS this would give $1,200 to eachr of them. Mony of these, however, grow onions only on very small scale and for this reason the big growers must have done remarkably well this year.
 Though the crop has been marketed several weeks ago, 1t has only now been possible to get close figures on it. Since only 95 per cent of the onion growers belong to associations these are complete only to that extent. The shipments amount to little over 2,S00 cars of 500 crates each, sold at prices ranging from 75 cents to SIPS per crate. Approximately $1,120,000 was received for the crop.
 The onion industry in Southwest Texas dates from 1904. In that year the first onions were raised by George 'Copp, of Cotulla. During the RAxt. two years onion raising spread over Dim- init County, the Laredo district and extending down the Rio Grande valley reached the Brownsville country. In 1905, 500 car shipments were sold and during the following years the ship ments increased as indicated: 1906. 1000 cars; 1907. 1900 cars; 1908, 2.4o0 cars. and in 1909. over 2.s0o cars. That this seasons crop was not doubled. as was done last year, is due to the fact that the growers were afraid they would. flood the market. This years demand, however, has been keen enough to warrant the planting of a larger area during the coming year. Onions selling at 75 cents a crate are a profitable investment. while at $1.25 they may be considered on par with first class gold mining stock.

DRY GOODS REVIEW.

New York. Aug, i5-Trading in cot- ton goods at first hands has been gen. erally quiet for the past week. sales of print cloths at Fall River reaching only sO.ooo pieces and sales of other goods being restricted by the higher prices which are asking in anticipa- ton of higher cotton.
 Bag manufacturers have bought fairly well of sheetings and osnaburgs for spot and nearby delivery. Jobbers have been doing quite an active trade in nearly all departments.
 Cotton yarns have been dull and prices continue irregular and unsatis- factorily on the lower numbers oe carded yarns. A moderate curtailment of production bids fair to Improve this market in the near future. In the absence of expert demand for heavy cotton goods adds to the difficulty sellers find in lifting prices to q parity with cotton values.
 Dress linens are being purchased freely on Southern account and at ad- vancing prices. Manufacturers of working shirts and overalls have booked a good business for spring. Mems wear is quiet after large initial buying.
 Dress goods are not being bought so freely. since fancies were shown. An Improvement is noted in the demand for silk piece goods from stock

Thirty-three senators, and 105 Representatives of Aiabama--all of them, in fact--have acquired their fill Of iegisl9ting.v and rejoice that the end of the extra session Is in sight. This week. beginning today. promises to be the last and there Is every prob ability of an adjournment on Friday. or. at the latest. Tuesday, August 24.
 So abundantiy satiated have some of them become, that 1t is likely there Will be more absentees during the last week of the session than at any other time. Several who left Friday after noon for their homes will not return.
 The last week promises. for both houses. duh routine. with nothing of an absorbing nature. beyond the commission government bill, to be handled. The big bills and the impor- tant measures all off the docket. there Is nothing remaining for all Alabama to watch. as have been the issues alr"odv settled.
 True. the calendars are filled. and on the the work looks to be more than can be retired in a weeks time But there ares many of the lesser bills which will be smothered in commit tee, that work may be cut short, and there is little outlook of the session becoming prolonged beyond this week

 San Antonio. Texas. Aug. 15.--(Spe- cial )--Col. Joseph B. Girard, chief surgeon of the Department of Texas, is of the opinion that lazy sickness, or hookworfn disease. will never become general in the United States.
 The few cases that have developed in the army are now well under control and seem to have been contracted in the Philippine, Islands. He also thinks that the disease can be easily combat ted there and that in a few years 1t will be stamped out.
 Colonel Girard has a great faith in vaccination as a preventive against ty- phoid fever.
 While ast yet" he said, "treatment is still in an experimental stage, enough of it's results are known to state that 1t will prove a success"
 Men who have been vaccinated and later on come in contact with the dis ease have so far been shown to be ab- lsolutely immune. the disease having fin no instance been transmitted.
 Colonel Girard is Frenchman by birth, and before coming to the United States had already made a reputation as a surgeon of the greatest ability. He is regarded as one of the best med fcal officers in the United States army.

of the cotton crop. The showers that fell were moderate and beneficial. The plant is small. and still late. but 1t is growing nicely and Is well fruieed for It's size.
 Many correspondents note that the prospective yield is much better than was at one time thought possible. In this territory conditions are best in Georgia and South Carolina and poor est in Mississippi. Rainfall was scat tered and deficient in Arkansas and Oklahoma
 There are sections where no rain has fallen in i've or six weeks. and the plant is shedding. but other sections of these States have had rain and pros poets are fair.
 Rains in Texas were frequent and rather general during the week. The crop is on the road to improvement. and if these rains are supplemented during the coming weeks by further precipitation, the crop outlook will im- prove materially.
 Rains have retarded opening of the bolls and as the plant is growing rap idly, picking will not become general Tor fully two weeks yet.
