 ON COMMISSION
Petition Lacking Nineteen Legal Voters Is Denied By Pro-
 bate Judge Pitts

Selma, August 11.-tSpecial)--fro- bate Judge ]. H. Pitts of Dallas county this afternoon turned down the pe,i- ton which was filed with him aoout two weeks ago asking that the voters of Selma be given the chance to eN- press themselves at the polls on tne matter of commission government TOT Selma. It is not known yet whether those who got up the petition will en- deavor to get up another or let the matter drop.
 Some of the advocates are in favof of starting another petition. but those who are opposed to the commission form of government think that sec opd attempt would be just as unsuc- cessful as was the first attempt. There are 13,64O voters in the county, ana according to law the granting or the petition would require All qualneo voters. The petitions which were pre- sented to Judge Pitts two weeks ago had 46S signatures. but in his exam nation 76 of the names were scratcheo off leaving only 392 legal voters or lless than is required by law.

NEGROES THREATEN
 TO LYNCH MURDERER
Andalusia Is Active in Promotinp Highway from Atlanta
 to Mobile

Andalusia, August 11.-(Special. )- This morning about o'clock, just be- yond the armory, Amelia Dean, a ne- gress, was shot and almost instantly killed by Will Ramsey, negro shoe maker. The affair created quite an ex- citement among the colored race here. fnasmuch as the woman who was killed was at the head of nearly all of the negro societies.
 No cause has been assigned for the killing. Sheriff Livings was on the csens at once and arrested Ramsey, who is In the county jail. The negroes are very indignant over the matter and it is freely expressed among them that if the person of Ramsey could be se- cured a lynching would be forthcom- ing.
 Practically all details have been arr ranged to secure the route of the na- tional highway from Atlanta to Mo- bile via Andalusia. A committee from here will visit Baldwin county next week and appear before the board of county commissioners there. When Baldwin county pledges to build through that county the last link from Atlanta to Mobile will have been filled in. The Andalusa citizens wha launched this move and have promoted it deserve great credit

Bradstreet's Review

New York. August 11.-Bradstreets to-
 morrow will say:
 Orders for future delivery indicate fur
 ther moderate improvement in the trade
 situation, house as well as road trade ex-
 banding in fair degree.
 Many visiting buyers are in the coun-
 try's leading markets, and these hailine
 from the cotton growing sections of the
 south and southwest are disposed to pur-
 chase quite freely. Talk from buyers in
 general is optimistic enough, but, withal,
 purchases on the whole show that con siderable caution prevailed This attitude is especially apparent
 among those scattering to the pl ploducing regions. Gathering crops underwent fur their deterioration in July. It is not be- lieved, however, that recent rains have made for a better feeling as regards corn crop results and in consequence mer-
 chants are fostering more roseate antici- patons, though still acting conservativelv. Cautious buying heretofore has kept stocks within controllable bounds and the ad- vance of the season, together with the arrival of buyers, should bring about a further seasonable increase in trade. In
 some sections requests for shipments in
 orders that were held up last month are
 being made.
 Dry goods, allied lines and mill llnery lead in point of relative activ- ity. Where demand for cotton goods has developed the fact is brought out
 that supplies of some desirable grades
 are short, this being due to curtail- | ment past and present. Pig iron is firmer under increa sed de- mand, but attractive business in fin- ished products reveals the existence of competition and some price cutting. Collections run from fair to slow. Business failures in the United States | for the week ending August 10 were 20S against POS last week; 231 in the like week of 1910; 209 in 1909: 249 in 1908. and 146 in 1907.
 Wheat, including four exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending August 10 aggregate D. 56O,967 bushels against 3,321,30S last week and 1,226,214 this week last year. For the six weeks ending August 10 exports were 13,22,342 bushels against I,549,957 in the corresponding period 1 last year.
 Corn exports for the week are 635.- | iS1 bushels against 322,7S1 last week. and 190,671 in 1910 For the six weeks ending August 10 corn exports are B. 1 7175s9 bushels against 1,90s,296 last tyear.

T|DEWATER WORK
 MOVES RAPIDLY 1 inc Pushing Steadily To- ward Birmingham REPUBLICANS MEET Ensley Meeting Will Be Held Today To Select Delegates To County
 Convention-Other News
 of Ensley
REPUBLICANS

Work on the Tidewater line at Ens- ley is progressing with a rapidity that is surprising, even 10 the oldest rail- roader, and it is only a question of
 time until the line between the Steel
 City and Birmingham will be com
 pleted. Since the contractors began
 the real work of construction, it has
 been pushed steadily forward without the loss of any time, excepting holi- days
 The work of laying the line in the business parts of Ensley was completed a couple of weeks ago and the con- struction force began pushing forward toward Birmingham. They have LOW crossed Tuxedo park, and they are eIi- tering Shadyside with the double track. All of the work between Ensley and that point has been done according to
 the most modern methods and will need only the additional work of laying the crossings before ready for actual serv
 ice.
 The work of laying the crossing In Ensley began Friday when the one at Avenue E and Seventeenth street was put in. The others will be put in soon. The frequency with which the street cars run past the crossings, together with the heavy traffic near some of them, makes the job difficult one.

. SEVERE STORM
 VISITS PENSACOLA

Mobile. August 11.-A special from Pen sacola, Fla, says
 With wind at ninety miles an hour, ac- companied by a terrific downpour of rain, Pensacola today experienced the worst storm since the West Indian hurri- cane of September 1906.
 A number of barges were blown ashore and numerous small vessels suffered se- verely. The heaviest loss will be to the timber interests, immense quantities of export timber, held in booms, having been strenw along the bay shore for miles and piled in immense jams along the water front. Tonight the city is in darkness as the lighting system is disorganized. and but few telephones are working in the city. There has been no loss of life so far as can be ascertaned

TRADE EXPANSION
 IS CONTINUED Steel Products Show Gradu- ally Growing Demand PIG IRON IS PRIMER 0rdars for Eufura Delivery Indicate
Orders for Future Delivery Indicate Favorable Conditions, Accord ing To Dun and Brad
 Streets Reports

l New York August 11.-R. G. Dun X Co.'S
 weekly review of trade tomorrow will l say:
 l There is further evidence Of feeling or
 confidence that the autumn will bring
 broadening Tn trade activity, while busi-
 ness now continues to expand moderately. The expansion in the demand for steel l products continues very gradual. Strong competition Is noted in finished lines whenever important business is in pros 1 rect, and concessions in prices are re-
 ported Railroad buying is restricted, l but conditions in the structural division 1 are more promising, contracts for 16,000 tons of steel for local subway extension having been closed. Pig iron production during July fell below the output for June. A marked tendency toward firm ness prevails in the east, and an advance of 25 cents has been made in some mar
 through the year.
 In cotton goods the adjustment of
 cloths to raw cotton prices continues the
 n ost difficult problem, and is compli-
 cated by the greater curtalment at the
 mills. Bleached sheetings have touched
 bottom for the jobbing season, and have
 been advanced 1sc yard. Total domestic exports from New York for the season to date amount to 223, Ar bales, against 144- S45 bales last year, but exports Are out of the market, because of the decline in raw cotton.
 Some advances are named on staple mems wear woolens, where orders have been in good volume but unsatisfactory as to profit. Yarn markets are irregular and tending downward. In footwear buy CTS are not disposed generally to take larger amounts than for current needs preferring to await more certain knowl- edge as to styles. Leather is still in mod crate demand, buyers operating only in a limited way, New England shoe manu- lecturers feeling that the volume of foot wear business does not warrant any COIL siderable anticipation. In sole leather prices are not quotably lower. Domestic hides continue to sag with further reduc- tions in certain varieties of packer stock ard country hides. Sales are on a small scale and tanners are generally holding of in anticipation of still lower prices The foreign markets are the only steady feature, and prices of European goods and calf skins are quite well maintained, while Latin American hides sell at full prices as fast as they arrive.
