PAUPERS CANNOT
 DRAW ALLOWANCE
County May Not Aid Paupers With Money Says Attorney Gen
 eral Brickell

Huntsville, July 23.-(Special.) .)-Attorney General Brickell has sent to Probate Judge Lawler an opinion in which he holds that the county cannot make al- lowances to paupers of money to aid them in supporting themselves. The only aid that the county can give paupers Is by supporting them in the county poor house. Quite a long list of indigent peo- pie in Madison county have been draw ing from B to $15 quarter and mak- ing the rest of the subsistence themselves or living with relatives.
 According to the attorney general this money is being paid out without legal warrant and those who are dependent upon it must shift for themselves or sur render entirely to the charge of the coun- ty and go to the poor house. The opin- ion says further that the county may continue to give temporary aid in cases of emergency for period not exceed ing 30 days.
 Articles of incorporation have been filed for the Huntsville Grocery company by w. l.. Baker, F. G. Coons, M. M. Cam trell and R. B. Searcy The corpora tion will take over the extensive whole sale grocery business of Fred G. Coons.

ASK NO ELECTION
 FOR LAWRENCE
Commissioners Meet State Appropriation With $2OOO
 for Good Roads

Courtland, July 23.-(Special) )-CouR- ty court at Moulton adjourned yester- day afternoon, after clearing off the biggest docket that the county has had for years. This was the jury term of the court and when Judge Kumps op n . ed Monday he faced docket of more than 125 cases. One man was convicted of malicious mischief quite number plead guilty to charges of violating the prohibition laws, and four Or five were convicted of the same of fense In addition to the fine imposed by the jury, Judge Humps added a hard labor sentence in each case.
 Lawrence county will not hold an cleo ion on the liquor question. Pro hibition is in force here and has been for many years prior to the enactment of the general prohibition law. It Is believed that not as many as fifty men can be found in the county who would sign petition to hold an election on the whisky question. Notwithstanding the fact that Lawrence county voted against the amendment and her people are local optionists. they choose to sx- ercise that option by having no sale of liauors in the county.
 The county commissioners have ap- propriated the sum of $20O0 to be used in building a model highway, under the highway commission act. passed by the last legislature. This road will in all probability be built from Moulton to- ward Hillsboro and will extend as far as s4000 will build 1t.
 Another appropriation will be made | by the county next year and the road | extended.

KILLED BY MAN WHOM HE VISITS
While Wives Go for Water Wyley Hill Is Killed By
 Bob LangstOn

Decatur, July 2S.-(special.) .)-At his home about seven miles west of Decatur today Bob Langston shot and instantly killed Wyley Hill Langston telephoned to Sher- if McCulloch and deputy went to his home, made the arrest and brought Lang- ston here, where he Is now in the county jail awaiting a preliminary hearing.
 There seems to be a mystery connected with the killing. Last night Hill and his wife spent the night with Langston and wife. This morning Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Langston went to a spring some distance from the house after water, leaving Langston and Hill at the house alone. When the women returned to tho house they found Hill dead.
 Langston shot Hill in the middle of the back with a double barreled shotgun. Only one shot was fired. When asked why he did 1t, Langston's only reply was, T had it to do." Further than this he would make no statement.
 Bob Langston is a well-known and we'll to-do farmer. He is native of this county and stands well with all who knew him. He is about So years of age. He never married until about two years ago. His wife is a young woman, about 20 years old. Nothing can be learned here today as to the standing of Wyley Hill

WEEKLY REVIEW 0F . DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, July 23.-The cotton goods markets have been quiet and weak under the combined influence of light demand and of a settling in the raw cotton mar ket as the new crop year approaches. The drastic .revisions made in prices on bleached muslins have led buyers to hope for reductions all along the line. Selling agents are not in a mood to act quickly as 1t must be some months before actual cotton can be secured on which the mills may work, and in the meantime the goods to be sold are those made from the high priced crop of the past months. The quiet general trade all over the coun- try has served to emphasize .ho difficult ties cotton mills are finding in getting anywhere near a basis of profit and while there is a very large restriction of pro- duction being forced the demand for goods seems to fall away as rapidly as curtaiment increases.
 Less than 5000 pieces, of print cloth were sold at Fall River. Many goods arc quoted at nominal figures The expor, trade continues steady and shipments are ahead of a year ago
 Notice was given during the week of l continuation of protection on staple prints and other merchandise from which re- strictions were recently removed.

 No new cases were reported to the health department yesterday, although a death was reported, that of the 1c-months- old son of MT. and Mrs. Mims Hutchings, which occurred Sunday at Ensley.
 The health department and the medical fraternity of the district are using every effort and precaution to prevent further spread of the disease and they believe that it will soon be stamped out.
 They have, however, redoubled their endcavors in getting in touch with every case and have adopted every prccaution- ary measure to arrest the ravages of the dreadful disease.
 They strongly advise that children be kept from congregating together in closed buildings and urge that they be kept away from infected localities and afflict- ed households, and that the children who are exposed to the disease be kept closely at home.
 Tie public generally Is urged to assist in stamping out the disease by promptly reporting suspicious cases and by strictly obeying the sanitary laws.
 While numbers of families have left the district, the reports from the office of the health department are very reassuring and there is every reason to believe that the epidemic is under control.

 Commissioner Lane says that he has never straddled any question, and will not be at this late day placed in the attitude of straddling, hence a formal, clear, concise utterance as to what, in his opinion, is the remedy for the con-

I, Is claimed, however, that the Chicago mills will roll 2o.0o0 tons for Canadiar lines and that several other export or ders are under negotiation for Soutl America and the West Indies and Can ada. It Is notable that the demand fo, finished steel products generally in the international market is increasing and at higher prices.
 There was more activity in stee making iron in the central west oi which the principal feature of interest was the ore and iron exchange de Il made between the Republic Iron an1 Steel company and the Struthers Fur. mace company by which the Republic cOmpany will get 5000 tons of ha sic iron for shipment up to May, 1912.

Washington. July 23.-(Special. )-Friends of Dr. Wiley here are not little per- turbed over the delay in action on his case by the administration. They fear the motive back of the delay is one hos- tile to Wiley. They voice the suspicion that the purpose is to let public senti' ment be lulled and then to take more drastic action toward the chief chemist than could now be taken.
 They even entertain some fear that the President may be seriously considering the dismissal of Wiley. but the close friends of the President deny this is justi- fed It is considered strange that Sec retary Wilson takes SO long to prepare his recommendation.
