The season of 1908 has been for
US a year of good crops, good
health, and general prosperity.
The autumn was somewhat noted
for the absence of storms or cold
weather. Sunday, January 3rd,
was an ideal day for this latitude,
beng calm and bright, with a
maximum temperature OF 65 de.
grees in the afternoon. Monday,
however, witnessed the begin
ming of the cold wave, which
swept across the entire country.
BY Tuesday nom zero was reach.
ed, and for 4S hours we had a
temperature ranging from zero
to IA below.
The writer went to Lincoln on
Monday to be sworn IN second
time as member Of the leglsla-
ture. The control of both branch
es of the legislature has, for the
first time in twelve years, passed
to the Democrats, consequently,
your correspondent is entering
upon his first experience as a
minority member. On Thurs
day came the always interesting
ceremony of the inauguration of
new governor. The scene was
no doubt more inspiring to our
democratic friends than to their
political opponents, but a spirit
of good feeling and harmony
seemed to pervade the entire as
sembiage. William j. Bryan came
into the hall and occupied a seat
near the writer, where he remain
ed a silent but deeply interested
spectator of the proceedings.
This correspondent made a
trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee,
last month, where he spent a
very enjoyable week, as the guest
of his relative and boy hood friend
Mr.. F. A. Berkstresser. While
there, he made good use of the
opportunity to visit some of the
famous battlefields of the Civil
War, which are within easy reach
of that charming southern city.

DEALERS AROUSED
FULLER BILL AIMS AT MEN WHO
 SELL PAPERS.
Many Magazines Would Re Barred TBrom Alabama and Birmingham People Are Much In-
 tereste6.

Birmingham. Aug 14.-tSpecial)-- Inquiries are being made by outside newspaper and magazine publishers as to the effect of the Fuller prohibition bill which is before the LeRislature and may become law within very short time.
 Information has been and is being sent out from here by newspaper men, dealers In newspapers and magazines and others that if no amendments are allowed the Fuller bill will prevent the sale in this State of all newspa- pers and magazines which carry ad- vertisements of liquors or beers The bill. say some of the newspaper deal CTS, is very drastic and reports are current that arrangements are being made to test the law.
 The replies sent to the publishers were to the effect that no effort would be made to stop the sending of any and all newspapers and magazines through the mails hut the newsdealers would be prevented from selling the papers and books carrying such ad- vertisements as mentioned.
 There are three or four large news stands in Birmingham and the law will be quite a blow to them The prominent dealers in newspapers and magazines here say that while their sympathy is with the prohibition that the paragraph in the bill will be a great injury to them. Exactly what will be done by the newspaper pub fishers in the premises remains to be seen.
 When 1t is taken into consideration that hundreds of copies of papers pub lished in Cincinnati. Chicago, New York. Nashville. Chattanooga. New Or leans. and other places are handled in Birmingham the people of this place would be interested.
 Managing editors and business man. agers of newspapers fin the larger cities have sent for copies of the Full Ter bill and explanations have been asked as to the various paragraphs which affect the publishing business.
