COTTON MARKET
 WATCHES GINNING Census Report on Ginning Will Be Issued Next
 Monday 8s

New Orleans, November 12.-The cotton
 market will again be concerned with hs-
 ures on ginning this week. as the pres
 ent period in the census bureau, schedule
 of reports, ends Monday night. It will
 not be long before private bureau 'estl- mates Of the amounts ginned will be com
 ing out, and they will probably have con-
 siderable influence on the course of the
 market.
 The census report will be issued a week
 from Monday.
 Time is now fast approaching when
 picking and ginning must fall off. In some sections the crop has been almost entirely gathered, and in not few see- tions much more than 80 per cent of 1t
 has been gathered. Ginning, it is claimed. is not very far behind the pick
 ing. and decided falling off in the out turn of the ginneries may come at any time. If there is hint of this during this week the market ought to be better. Trouble in China will be closely watched
 because the cotton mills of the world
 are losing great deal of business on account of it. Prominent mill and spot firms claim that cancellation of orders for cloths by China have not yet been very large, hut of course it is admitted by everyone that very little fresh blsi-
 ness can be done with the country in the state 1t is in, M ,x
 A favorable turn in the affairs of China would probably have come little bullish influence on the market.
 Last weeks smasi or comparatvely small spinners' takings caused some ner. vousness on the bull side, and the spot
 demalid this week will be sized up con- tiruousiy. l A claim has been made that many spin ners are buying contracts instead. of the actual cotton, but the market will have | to get good evidence of this before it will l accept such buying as being equally as 1 important as an inquiry for the actual | stuff itself.
 | Large crop estimates by private indi- l viduals and firms are expected again this week. and they will have more or less | weight all the time. Circulars by the leading brokers on the week end figures
 predict market of moderate fluctuations, l and seem to be about equally divided in opinion as to which way prices will move.

RIVALS MEET AT
 LOCKWOOD TODAY Albertyille and AnnistOn
 Squads Coming ARE EVENLY MATCHED Teams Are Old Rivals and Had to Choose Birmingham as Neutral
 Ground for the
 Contest

This afternoon at o'clock the two contenders for the "prep" champion- ship of the state will meet at Rick wood Field. The Seventh District "Aggies" of Albertville will fight with the Anniston Presbyterians. It wa, 1 thought that the game would not be played as at first they e7uld not agree to play in either Blountsville or An niston. The two aggregations finally agreed to play on neutral grounds in Birmingham.
 The game will be eu decide who is the champion of Alabama. excepting the teams of the s. L A. A. From all indications the teams are evenly match ed and unless all expectations go wrong the score will be exceedingly close.
 The "Aggies" will outweigh the Pre- destinarians by about 15 pounds. Both of the teams are in fine trim and each aggregation is confident of victory. Iri speed both claim first honors. The fol- lowers of the "Preds" claim that the "Aggies' weight will be to their dis advantage, as they will be unable to be as fast or as aggressive.
 "Chic" Harmon, the coach of the Preds, has been praclIcing hard all the past week and states that he hopes to win. He declares that if he Is able to defeat the Aggies he will be able to win the prep championship of Georgia. According to reports from Albertville. Coach Noojin is also preparing hard for the game and is pushing his men to  team they have had in years.
 The "Aggies" are said to have a line that is practically invulnerable and so far this year they have been invin- cible with teams in their class. At An niston Hannon has developed one Of the strongest teams that has ever rep. resented the Preds and they are said to be a marvel in speed
 Those that are acquainted with the two aggrega say that Hannon will be compelled to use plays that demand speed. or will have to resort to trick plays. Fortunately they are well equipped in this line. 1t is thought that the Albertville aggregation will depend on straight football tactics. II any prophecy were made the dope would probably be upset.
 The Albertville student body anu the team will come to Birmingham today on a special train, while 1t is expect ed that the majority of the Annistou student body will attend. The rivalry between the two teams and student bodies came near keeping the two teams from playing--ts at the last game in which the tive teams played the struggle ended in free for all fist fight.
 While it is hoped that no like oc- currence will take place. it is expect ed that the game will be full of action
 AlbertYille has not announced it's lineup, but Anniston has given out the following lineup: Center. Archibald. . right guard. Freeman; right tackle Crosby; right end. Brown (captainD left guard, NJ.

COUNTY OFFICIALS

Decatur, November 12-(Special )-After being 1T, session for nearly three weeks, the Morgan county grand jury adjourned yesterday afternoon. The report is quite lengthy one, and states that 123 true bills were found, ITO cases submitted and 367 witnesses examined.

WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON GOODS

New York, November 12.-Moderate eales of cotton goods were reported dur ing the week and an easing tendency was noted in print cloths and heavy brown cottons. Fine plain cottons for converting purposes are also easy with the demand light.
 The jobbers are doing a fair business for the season. The miscellaneous trade is good but China and other far east ern markets are doing nothing, although shipments -on old orders are going for ward without interruption thus far.
 Fall River Iron Works announces that hereafter it will run steadily for an in- definite period. Fall River sold 10S,000 pieces of print cloths last week, of which ail were odds and half were for future shipments.
 Reasonable quiet in the primary mar kets is punctuated from time to time by spot orders or by demands for quick shipment goods that are not in stock Underwear sellers are now on the roac with samples for fall of 1912.

This week will be a gala one for the lovers of the gridiron sport. Birmingham will see three games of great importance and interest. The game that will perhaps be the most Interesting will be that of Saturday, when the Alabamians tackle the Sewanee Tigers at Redwood. This game will be of great interest to every follower of the gridiron, and 1t is ex- pected that one of the largest crowds that ever attended a game in Birmins- ham will turn out. On Friday Howard ana Owenton will meet at Redwood. This game will be of special interest locally, for the contestants have been rivals for years. Then the game of today, when the Aggies meet the Preds. will be of interest throughout the state.
 The game Saturday will probably be the most strenuous battle that has been waged recently in the south. The two teams-Alabama and Sewanee-are con- ceded to be evenly matched in weight. speed and skill, and as the game will mean much to each team the game will be played for gore.
 The comparative scores of the two teams have not been so close. but it is

Bridge Span Goes Down

About noon yesterday as Shell
Lentz was coming to town with
a load of coal, and as he was
crossing the long bridge over
Brill Slough, about 2 1-2 miles
east Of here, the west central
span went down about Is feet
with Lentz, team and wagon. It
is apparent that the weight Of
the wagon caused the span to
give way, as from the foot marks
of the horses they were across
the west point of where the
break occurred. and the wagon
as it fell, dragged them back
wards with it. Lentz had no
time to clear the wreck, but
went down with the wagon,
which turned over and caught
him and bruised him badly be-
sides wrenching his body and
limbs until he was perfectly
helpless.
The horses held by the stout
harness, had about ceased
struggling when Sam Allega
reached the scene, Tobe Brown
being there a little earlier. Lentz
was exticated from the debris
and mud and water and after
first aid, was brot to town by
Allega. The horses were cut
loose and scrambled out Of the
slough practically unhurt.
The wagon was but slightly
damaged in spite Of the wonder
how driver. horses or wagon
survived the disaster. ~
This is a bridge which the
court recently had repaired. and
il was-this span which received
most Of the attention, another
instance proving that the best
way to fix all Of the old bridges
would be with new ones Of steel
or iron. Such wooden structures
as this. when they begin to fai
are unsafe.
