FISH DESCENDED
 FROM THE CLOUDS

Columbus, Ga, April 16.-(Special )-In the midst of the fiercest rainstorm that has swept this section in months. the skies presented Columbus with a miscel- laneous assortment of articles today q.
 Hall and fish were included in the cloud land repertoire. and tonight the news paper men are out securing the town for an alligator that is reported to have de scended with the deluge. The pieces of hall, jagged chunks of ice, were among the largest ever seen here, for they were of the traditional ben-egg size.
 Some damage was done growing crops by the heavy chunks which, at times, de- soended in perfect showers piece of hail reported to have weighed eight ounces fell in Phenix City.
 During the afternoon just after the hardest rain several small fish were found on the ravements of different streets. One of them, trout over three inches long. was alive when picked up. One theory Is that the fish were blown up into the clouds by the north Alabama cyclone yes- terday and did not fall until they were rained into Georgia. Tonight a severe rain and electrical storm is still raging.

 THE WOMEN SHOULD VOTE

Washington April 16.-Dorothy Dix in the language and gestures. of an old negro mammy. explained the needs of suffrage as she saw them to the convention, The lack of backbone is the. reason for woman not having the ballot she declared. She spoke as follows:

Cose everybody to dere taste but hit seems lak to me dat dem folks what laks to claim a monkey for dere grandpaw has got mighty little pride, an mighty little call to brag on dere family tree.
 But I aint ever had no trouble in be- lievin' dat woman was made out of man rib.

BIG COTTON WAR
 IS IN PROSPECT

Chicago April 16.-(Special.) )-Within the next two weeks America will see another cotton war, as a result of a bull cam paign led by James A. Patten. MT. Pat ten does not deny that he is going into the market harder than he ever has before. Before the maturity of May options, which the bulls control, the strong bear clique operating in the New York pit will tender from 10000 to 250,00o bales on contract to the Patten- -Brown-Haynes- Scales bull pool, known as the "big four"
 The general impression is that so far as the bull pool itself Is concerned, Pat ten personally will be called upon to supply the bulk of funds needed to pay for the cotton the bears will deliver. Ills ability to do so Is not doubted.
 Patten's fortune Is now estimated at s25,- 0o,00o. Recently in New York a reporter remarked that he must have lost a lot of money in his operations. The specu- lator looked the reporter over and then replied:

 In Birmingham Yesterday
By WALTER HARPER.

E. Perry Thomas of Eufaula spent yes- terday in Birmingham. He was regis tered at the Morris hotel.
 / Mr. Thomas was chairman pro tenn. of the senate during the last session of the legislature and Is a candidate for lieu tenant governor.
 "So far I have done but little actual campaigning, but have reason to believe that 1 will be nominated with good large majority" said MT. Thomas.
 "The issue before the people will decide the election rather than men. The people are determined, and no sore of political ex- eitement will change the masses. The best proof of this fact Is the lack of ap- rarent interest in the campaign. The people know what they want and how they will vote. The main issue which was before the people once last fall is still the war cry, and will get final decision in the coming primary. zs
 q will spend the remainder of the time between now and the primary making pretty close campaign in north Alabama.
 You know it Is good to get out over Alabama and get acquainted with the people and resources of the state. We lave the most wonderful state in the world. A wall might be built around the state and 1t would be absolutely self-sus- taining. There Is no other state In the union like 1t.
 We have the cotton for clothing, the fuel, the iron, agricultural lands that could produce all the foodstuffs necessary and almost the full list of valuable min erals. You will find such a combination of necessities in no other state in the union eaa A
 Tt would do any man good to get out ever Alabama and get more familiar with the vast store of varied resources we have."
