COLBERT CROPS.
Good Rains Bring Slight Relief te
 Cotton.

Tuscumbia. Sept 13.-tSpeciaD- Good rains have fallen in this section during the past week. resulting fin ar improved condition to cotton and late corn. Shedding of cotton, caused by protracted drouth. has been checked. az has also the premature opening of bolls. It is question on which farmers are not agreed, as to whether or not the September fruiting will reach maturity. and whether or not the crop win consist. only of the June and July fruitage. 1t being unani- mously believed that the August crop was destroyed by the drouth.
 Only one bale has been received in Tuscumbia as yet. showing that pick ing Is delayed. It sold for 12 cents It is not thought there will be any holding of the crop If 12 cents Is the ruling price. Very few farmers see more than 55 to 50 per cent. crop in the present prospects. 1t being to all appearances the shortest crop for many years,

 Outlook.
 Jacksonville, Sept 12.-lSpecial.)- As to the cotton crop, that Is practical ly made An interview ths week. with many of the farmers in different and distant parts of the county brought out about the same information. as re- ceived heretofore. When a farmer speaks, he generally refers to his own crop. Very few put the estimate above a half crop. and that is upnn the crop now growing, and has no reference to what he lost and was compelled to turn out, on account of too much rain
 This county has suffered from two to four weeks by drought, and the hot dry winds were very severe on the fruitage. Even where the weed is large, the crop Is deceptive. the crop of bolls Is light.

CANNOT PUBLISH NAMES.
Many Turn Federal Licenses In to
 Sherin'h Office.

Sheriff'H Ofice.
 Birmingham. Sept 12.-(Special.)- The sheriff of Jefferson County in ac- cordance with requirements in the Full Ter bill. was able to publish only two names of those who have Federal H. censes to sell spirituous, vinous or malt liquors, The publication was made the past week but oniy the names of those who had taken out licenses between the first and tenth of the month were published.
 Had the sheriff printed all the H. censes issued since the first of the year there would have been a page and d half in a newspaper required to carry out the law. Many of those who have Federal licenses to sell vinous, spirit uous and milt liquors, have turned the same into the offlce of the sheriff to show that they do not desire to be classed as heinz in the business. Ac- cOrding to the Fuller law. the Federal license Is primie facia evidence of guilt right from the start.

bed. sea wall Contraet :.

Henry Monk of this city has been notified by the War Department that he has been awarded the contract for erecting the big sea wall around Fort McRae on the Gulf side of the entrance to Pensacola Harbor. He was the lowest of more than dozen bidders, receiving the contract as S72.S0O.
 Under the terms of the contract, work is to commence within thirty days and to be completed in eight months. The wall is to be of con- crete. 1.500 feet in length. 1S feet hlgh and 20 feet at the base. grad ualIy decreasing in width and being eight feet at the top. It is one foot higher than the sea wall being con structing at Fort Pickens, as Fort Mo- Rae is more exposed to the seas of the gulf, and suffered greatly during the hurricane of 1906.
 With the largest number of eases on the docket to be known in many terms, the September term of the criminal court will convene tomorrow morning. Seventy defendants will be arraigned and tried during the term. which Is an exceptionally large number. consider ing that the court meets every sixty days for trial of those cases which cannot be handled in the police courts.

Vest and Mills. Senator Brlce gave out
an interview in which ne said that a
Dill had been agreed 10 by lhe majority.
and that It was made up by Secretary
carlisle, representing the administration
Senator Jones, representing the Finance
Committee; Senator German. Senator
Cockrell, and himself. Another newspaper
story represented Senator Mills as kick
ing like one OF his Texas steers at this
performance. Senator Jones undertook
the task OF bringing about harmony. He
saw every Senator and found out the
very least with which he would be salts
ned This resulted in several hundred
amendments TO the bin as Il came from
the House. He conferred with Secretary
Carlisle and President Clev Gland. and
stated in the Senate that they had agreed
to stand by the amendments he had
drafted 10 meet the objections OF the
insurgents.
Much amusement resulted from the de-
bate on collars and cuffs. The duty which
Senator Murphy sought and obtained was
in effect higher one than that OF the
Mckinley law. The income tax feature
was saved by a vote of 81 Democrats,
Populists, and s Republicans Finally
after 100 different maneuvers. the com
pleted measure was passed on July 3
II is part Of the secret history OF the
Dill that right up to the final roll call
the Republicans expected e 20 fall OF
passage. They were expecting the
louisiana Senators 10 vote against il.
and 10 force them 10 do so had voted 10
terminate the sugar bounty ar once in
stead Of after the crop OF 1924 was mar
keted- This was intended as a trap for
the Louisiana Senator'S But these two
gentlemen spoiled their calculations. The
one whose name was called first withheld
his vote. The other voted for the meas
ure. ThereUpOn several Democrats. who.
II their votes would have served to de-
