With One Accord All The People
 Rdlly To Support Of Greater City
LITTLE CYCLONE
 DOES SOME DAMAGE

heavy rain and hail storm, pre- ceded by near" cyclone, threw itself over Birmingham yesterday afternoon between 5:SO and o'clock. The down. pour seemed to have been confined to the business district and the southern and eastern suburbs, while the righ wind prevailed generally over the dis trict, doing considerable damage in small way.
 The storm came without warning and lasted about 10 minutes, after which the sky became clear and the remainder of the afternoon was bright. Downtown and on the South Highlands there was a veritable cloudburst, accompanied by a heavy shower of hail, while Foun tain Heights, the North Highlands and the suburbs to the west stood high and dry. The wind raised an exceptionally heavy cloud of dust which spread over the city and caused no little disturbance to pedestrians. A heavy tn under storm accompanied by a brilliant display of lightning came and tn en the rain fell

SHROPSHIRE ON
 THE ORANGE CROP

IT. E. Shropshire, the well-known orange broker, has just returned from a trip to Florida and gives glowing ac- counts of the prospects for this season s crop He states that the crop will be larger than last years and that the quality of the fruit is exceptionally fine.
 MT. Shropshire's orange brokerage business is probably larger than that of any other broker in the south, his opera tions extending all the way from New Orleans to Detroit, and his predictions on the crop carry weight. The prices this year he states will be fair to both grower and consumer, there appearing to be a steadier tone to the market than formerly.
 He will handle about 200 cars of oranges this season and is expecting some early oranges by September 15 or 21. These will take in the entire crop of several large groves, which MT. Shropshire has been representing for several years, while long list of regular customers are send ing in large orders.
 "The Florida crop, unless some unfore- seen thing arises, will be the finest in many years" remarked MT. Shropshire yesterday. Its quality is excellent while the fair prices which will undoubtedly prevail should find a. hearty welcome in evefy home for this dainty fruit during the coming season."

PUCKETT GOES
 TO COUNTY JAIL

s. s. Puekett the white man with many aliases who attempted to escape from the city jail Sunday night and came very nearly doing so, was committed to the county jail yesterday morning on charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, the commitment being made under process of a warrant sworn out before Judge l. H. Benners. Puckett's bond has been fixed at $150O
 Pucketts operations are believed. ac- cording to the statement of Chief Bod e1er, to have been somewhat extensive and his past record is being looked up by the authorities, it being thought that the man may be wanted elsewhere than in Birmingham, where his alleged scheme of obtaining money on fake mortgage deeds and abstracts created small sem sation.
 Sunday night Puckett, having secured a saw and a sledge hammer from among the tools of workmen who were engaged In the city jail, had almost gained his freedom when he was discovered. Fear ing that the man might escape, a war rant was sworn out for him yesterday morning and he was removed from the city prison to the county jail, where he will be held until he can give bond in the sum of $15OO.

were badly torn up, awnings were stripped from their frames, windows were shattered, signs were blown away the telephone services were somewhat badly crippled and traffic generally was suspended. The tele- phone companies report that each has about 200 lines to patch up as the re- suit of the storm while the telegraph lines running out of Birmingham were slightly disarranged The telegraph wires were soon strengthened out and were in shape last night.
 While things were blown about here and there downtown the only damage of any consequence occurred at the Brown-M Marx building, where the wind tore loose a big awning and the frame fell crashing into a big plate glass in the cigar store, completely demolishing the glass.
 Reports from the telegraph com panies are to the effect that the blow was somewhat general over the gulf states, being quite serious nearer the coast.

was unable to tell just what the citys time was.
 A certain young lady has offered the ex- planation that the lights became fright ened at a passing airship.
 A certain young man scoffed at this and declares his belief that the govern ment is too poor to accommodate the thousands of persons in Birmingham by lighting the clock.
 A further fact is that the county court house clock has never been lit up during the past several years.
 A mender of clocks has advanced the theory that the national and county gov ernments have combined to oppress the poor man by refusing to let him see what the hour is when the dark clouds hang low.
 A plain statement of fact is that Bir- mingham presents, it is generally admit ted, a country appearance with its dark ened clock towers while many hundreds of persons are also being inconvenenced in a way by the darkness.

ROBBED AND TIED
 TO TREE IN SWAMP

Gulfport, Miss, August 30.-Lumbermen arriving here tonight from the Nugent section, 10 miles north of Gulfport, report that three highwaymen held up an em- ploye of the Ingram-Day Lumber com pany, near Nugent two days ago, and after robbng him of $40. his entire months wages. tied him securely to a tree in the woods. In order to silence him while they were making good their escape they stuffed his mouth full of paper and rags and then ran off.
 The man remained in this position for almost 4s hours and was in pitiful con- dition. Without food or water and suffer- ing agony from the numerous bites of gnats and mosquitoes, It was several hours before he could even be partially revived. The mans name is not known here, but the Harrison county authori- ties have started an investigation.

These are improvement plans which have been under way for some time. Officers of the city state that there is no disposs- ton to rush through anything at the last moment, and claim that the citys finances will be in good shape when they come into Greater Birmingham

At the HIppodrome.

Birmtngham's new vaudeville theatre, the Hippodrome, on Third avenue and Seventeenth street, was thrown open last night. The inaugural performance was marked by the attendance of an audience which entirely filled the house and the opening in this respect was an suspicious one.
 The old skating auditorium has been transformed into one of the finest "one- floor" theatres in the south. Noth- ing has been left undone to make the house comfortable, and as a theatre 1t Is complete in every respect, being quite attractively furnished, and the acoustics are good. E. P. Lyons has been placed in charge as manager
 The bill at the Hippodrome this week Is not made up of the class of vaude- vile which would make the opening season a successful one, alth ough the management announces that the head line act failed to reach Birmingham. = fell upon two little girls, the Morrette sitres, to lead the bill as far as su- periorlty of work was concerned and their act was not only clever but was appreciated
 The remaining acts, two in number, were fairly good. but of an ordinary nature of vaudeville. The Poloff sis ters carry a handsome wardrobe, but there Is nothing of sensational na- ture about their dancing and neither can they sing. Raymond and Harper present song and dance act. They are featured as the writers of T Love My Wife. But Ohl You Kid"
 The motion pictures shown are oh oice, entertaining and instructive and should prove attractive, while W. J. McBes, the singer of illustrated songs, Is soloist of considerable ability. The first performances at the Hippodrome begin at in the afternoon and at 8 in the evening.

COTTON CROP IN
 POOR CONDITION

Memphis. August 30-The report of the National Ginners' association made pub lie this afternoon gives the condition of cotton up to and including August 24, as 64.1 per cent.
 "This is the lowest condition in num- Der of years" the report says. "and indi- eates a crop of about 1050O,0O0 bales. An early frost would reduce the figures some- what. and a late frost would probably increase the total yield to 1l,Oo0,0 900 bales"
 The report by states follows:
 Alabama 64, Arkansas 59, Florida 76, Georgia "A, Louisiana 54, Mississippi 62. Missouri 80, North Carolina 70. Oklahoma 5S South Carolina 76, Tennessee 75, Texas 57 General average 64.1.

A strong habit of "cussing' has devel- oped lately among nightworkers and thousands of other persons who happen to be in the business portion of Birming- ham at night.
 A pertinent fact in connection with the "cussing" is that each "cusser' swears he Is justified in his volcanic vocal erup- Gons.
 A question being propounded in con- neotion with the outburst of classic pro- fanity is, Has the national government gone into bankruptcy?"
 A full explanation of the cause of all this commotion is merely the fact tha< for the past several nights the lights have failed to shine in the clock tower upon the federal building.
 A fact which many are endeavoring 10 ascertain is whether the government IS trying to economize on it's light bills
 A man being unable to tell the time of night by the darkened clock was com pelled to buy watch but he was unable to set it correctly at night because he
