Local Data
Weather Conditions

Birmingham, August 5.-(1 D. m.)- It rained during the past 24 hours In the upper Missouri and Mississippi val leys and in the east gulf states. It was fair over the remainder of tho country, except in a few small areas. No heavy rains were reported. In fact, no station reported 24-hour total as great as one inch. Thunder storms ac- eompanied the precipitation in the east gulf states. Barometric pressure is high east of the Mississippi and low in the southwest which condition is respon- sible for the general easterly or south erly winds, and the unsettled and showery weather prevailing. The pres ent condition of local showers Will probably continue through Sunday.
 It is very slightly warmer in the gulf region today, but there were no changes worthy of special mention. The 90 degree isotherm inclosod the lower half of the gulf states and most of the southern Rocky mountains and plateau region.

INJUSTICE DONE
 SHEFFIELD COMPANY

It Is stated on authority that the Sheffield company, which operates the electric line between Florence and Sheffield. is always careful to keep out of politics or any entanglements that might embarrass the management In other words. it attends strictly 10 it's own business and as public serv- ice corporation treats the public the best 1t can.
 The writer happens to know that the rumor said to have been current on the streets of Florence a few days ago to the effect that the Sheffield company had paid the promoters of the local option petition for the possession of the same with the understanding That the fight for liquor in Lauderdale county be dropped. was without founda- ayon. The Sheffield company is taking no part whatsoever in affairs regard ing which public sentiment is divided.
 Apropos of this question the Shelf field company. by Vice President J. w. Worthington, in a communication to the editor of the Tri-Cities Daily of Sheffield under date of August 8, makes an absolutely fiat denial of the rumor referred to, and says in part.
 The investments of the stockholders cftThe Sheffield company in this sec tion of the Tennessee valley are based upon more substantial and lastinl sprinciples and facts than upon tn question of whether Lauderdale coun ty or any other portion of the stat of Alabama remains wet or dry an
 whether the people of Lauderdal county shall ever file a petition is
 matter of indifference to The Shef field company. except that The Shef field company, along with all othe
 good people, hopes that the good peo pie of Lauderdale county shall alway be in the majority as they ought to and The Sheffield company asks tha the good people of Florence and Lau derdale county will never believe th' iinfan1ouS rJn1or"

Lightning Kills Few.

In 1906 lightning killed only 1863 people
in this whole country. Ones chances OF
death by lightning are less than two IN
a million. The chance of death from llv-
er, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly
greater, but not if Electric Bitters be
used. as Robert Madsen, OF west Bur-
lington, Ia, proved. Four doctors gave
him up after eight months OF suffering
from yirulent liver trouble and yellow
