ENSLEY GOING TO
 CAPITAL EN MASSE
RIVAL DELEGATIONS WILL BE ON HAND TO TAKE STAND ON GREATER BIRMINGHAM BILL. PERSONAL AND GENERAL.

Ensley, August 1.-(Special. .)-The indi- cations are that Ensley will be practically depopulated of the leading politicians Monday and Tuesday, the attraction talk ing them away being the extraordinary session of the legislature at Montgomery, where the bill to take Ensley into Great CT Birmingham is being fought.
 A large number of citizens and busi- ness men will also go, there being several already in the Capital City. Tomorrow afternoon ex-Mayor N. w. Scott, presi- dent of the Ensley board of trade, will head a delegation to Montgomery to work for Greater Birmingham
 On the same train there will be large number of fellow citizen opponents who are working like beavers to have Ensley left out of the bill
 It appears that a feeling of good na- ture exists between the local opposing factions, and both sides claim they will win The two commercial organizations, the Ensley Commercial club and the Ems ley board of trade, are divided on this issue, the former against and the latter for the bill The feeling exhibited In this fight is quiet but intense, and the out come is awaited with considerable sus- pense and anxiety.

August 1.-Reports to The Advertiser from the cotton growing coun- ties of Alabama show that the rains in the latter part of last week were helpful to the growing plant and farm CTS are in better working condition.

In Morgan County.

Decatur, July Sl.-(Special)-A fine rain Friday afternoon greatly benefited the cotton crop throughout the Tennessee valley. Several days previous to Friday were dry and hot, being the best of weather for grass killing, and as result much work was done in the crop. With the crop clean and well worked the rain which came Friday was worth much tc the crop.
 At this time the cotton crop is in aa fine a condition as could be desired. The plant is strong and healthy and is free from insects of all kinds. It is fruiting we'll and Is full of bloom. The indica- tions are that the crop will be the equal of last season. Certain 1t Is that the prospects now are as good as they were at this time last year and as usual thing the farmers are confident that the crop will be at least an average one.
 There has been at all times in this To- cality sufficient labor for the cultiva- ton of the crop. The indications are that the crop will be as early this year as usual.
