 Big Meeting in Birmingham.
 Manager Long will leave tomorrow aft ernoon for Birmingham, and will take first steps toward planning for an im- mense open air gathering of those opposed to the amendment to the constitution. It is the purpose of the chairman of the committee to bring together all the voters of Jefferson county and to have in Bir- mingham a meeting as representative and as notable as that In Montgomery last week It is probable that reduced rates will be offered by the railroads, and that people from every beat in north Alabama will come together and participate.
 While as result of the meeting of the executive committee in Montgomery to- day, very little of news value Is ob- tainable, the day Is notable as the formal beginning of the fight for the preserva- ton of constitutional liberty in Alabama. The meeting brought forth no efforts at exalted oratory. There were few differ ences of opinion expressed, and very few ambitious citizens taxed the patience of their comrades by expounding in lengthy discourses their beliefs and opinions. A spectator was impressed with the fact that the gathering was made up of the patriotic citizens imbued with an idea of doing good to the people of the state of Alabama.

Took Pointers From Pictures in Magazines Their Own Plans-Architect Descends Upon Them Like

I locked them over, pro and con, with shrug of the shoulders here and an arch of the eybrows there, and then said:
 What do you expect this thing to cost?"
 About thousand dollars,' said Ad ll- phus placidly
 Mercy on us mani" exclaimed the architect If you get out under 5000 you'll be doing we'll"
 Three thousand dollarsl" the couple shouted, as if thunderbolt had struck them
 If I could build housese like that" said the architect, pointing to the plans. flor thousand dollars well-I wouldn't be building houses now, but enjoying a retired millionaire's life"
 Then some of the closets must go,' thundered Adolphus.
 Not the closets" pleaded Anastasaia- Let the trunk room go, and the but ler's pantry, and the bookcases in the living room but not the closets"
 Nc" scowled Adolphus, i've need those things. We'll scratch out these three closets right here, and so saying the pen ell ran through three of Anastasla's pre- cious closets.
 Why not cut out some of the things you like," said she furiously. "The wine cellar. for instance, or your den?' My dear friends" interpolated the architect, "you must realize that the en- tire plan of your bungalow must be the sum mentioned"
 
 they can be built for such small sums?" shrieked Anastasia.
 That cannot say" said the architect, but what you should have done at the beginning was to have an architect to draw your plans-somebody who knows"
 Well, then here you are. Now sug- gest to us what we must do," said she.
 The architect picked up a pencil and paper and roughly sketched simple lit tie affair without the great big beauti- full porch the other had. A dinKy lit tie living room with no window seats or cozy corners, all of which he ex- plained are very expensive.
 And" he continued, "you might have bit of hard wood here and there, but don't expect the kitchen to be finished in it for a thousand dollars.' And my beloved closets" said Anae- tasia sadly
 "Oh you will have the average num- , Der of closets" replied the architect, but not two to every room in the house."
 Cant the plans we have drawn and put into blue prints-I did that all by myself, MT. Architect" said Anastasa proudly, be diminished and the house built like this, only smaller?''
 You may be able to do so,'' said the architect, pretty well worn out by this time with arguing, "but you will have | to be your own architect" | And as I thought on the subject I de- cided to leave the triangle together which seemed to me to be rapidly mar rowing to an apex, and with their heads | bending over the plans, which had near | ly wrought disaster to a loving and de- voted fireside, I shouted goodbye" and l passed out unnoticed But not too late to hear Anastasia, who had resolved her self into said apex, exclaim: "If I had those old magazine people l who put such things before the public here I'd kill every one of them, lock, stock and barrel"

THE SECOND DISTRICT Fight.

From ali appearances It looks as II
the voters OF the Second Congression-
al district Of Florida will have all
that's coming to them in the prima-
iries next year, IN the shape of one
Of the most spirited Congressional
campaigns IN the history Of the State.
There has been a decided epposi-
ton to the present Congressman from
that district for some time, and his
political opponents have decided that
1910 would be the best year to return
Frank Clark to private life.
This decision on the part Of Mr..
clark's opponents appeared to be
unanimous. but having 80 easily set
tied this questionshis opponents were
next confronted with one that It ap-'
pears Is not so easily settled. In the
selection Of the man to oppose the
present Congressman there has been
a difference OF opinion.
Editor Lewis w. zim Of st. Angus
tine was the first to announce his
candidacy for the position. He was
followed closely by Mr.. Prouty of M
ami, and now comes the announce
ment from Jacksonville that Ion L.
Farrls, late Speaker Of the House OF
Representatives, would be a candi-
date. On top Of all this the announce
ment comes from Tallahassee that r.
Hudson Burr, chairman OF the State
Railroad Commission, will later enter
he lists.
II all Of these gentlemen stand by
heir announcements and take TO the
woods as Mr.. Farris suggests, there
will be no lack OF interest in the Con-
yressional campaign in the Second.
OF all the men mentioned there is
lot one that can cope with the pres.
mt Congressman on the stump. and
I Is not probable they will agree to
meet him In joint debate. zim and
'routy will probably resort to the
still hunt program. while It is pos
ible that Farris, and Burr, II he
hould enter, would attempt to meet
lark In Joint debate, and we believe
hat meet would about express the
esult of such meetings.
Another advantage that Is given
lark in this lineup is that the three
candidates against him all

Progress Of cotton picking during
the first twenty-five days Of Septem-
Der, including only twenty-five work
ing days, added at the rate Of $6,S2O,-
600 a day to the wealth derived from
that crop alone. This is probably the
most remarkable record in the recent
history OF cotton growing.
There remain nearly three months
in which to complete the picking, and
iif similar progress is made even for
another month or two the South win

period in any recent year preceding

when the country had one Of its larg-
est yields Of cotton, had ginning adj

1861, 1888 bales.

TENDER Georgia to the date of report
showed larger number of bales than
during any of the preceding four
years, except in 1905. Texas, where
1,O57.S7 bales were ginned, exceeds
all previous records, the highest of
which was in 1906, when 1,OOS,S56
bales were reported to September 25.
The favorable showing of ginning
returns is largely Offset by a most I'M
favorable condition report. In fact,
there is something highly irreconcila-
bic between the ginning of 2,562,SsS
bales Of cotton by September 25 on
the one hand and condition report
of $50 per cent. The latter figure
would indicate an extremely small
crop, whereas the ginning total seems
to forecast a fairly good yield. The
market Is generally convinced that
the condition report rather than the
ginning figure is the better index to
the actual situation. The cotton grow
err is less disposed to show his hand
in the holding of his crop, while the
spinning interests profess to believe
in a lower level of fibre prices. Be
tween these two lines of valuation the
position Of the cotton crop is still un.
defined within rather narrow limits.
A crop OF 100000 bales is fairly
well assured and but few people can
be found who are confident Of as much |
As 11.5OO,OOO bales.
