 Rainy Weather

Although the inclement weather in- -erfered with the work at the recent eE- campment at Oxford Lake" said J. D. Carlisle, captain of the Highlanders, the Loys enjoyed themselves immensely. The boys, when they were not drilling, played games and other enjoyable sports. The fare was better than ever before and the other conditions about camp were much better.
 Our company left with 40 men. We arrived in Anniston in fine shape and everything went off without hitch. On the second day the rife contest was held and the boys showed off to advantage. Hinson Sibley from our company made the highest average for the Birmingham boys. He made a splendid average.

NOT YELLOW FEVER SAYS DR. SANDERS State Health Officer Makes Statement to Set Current
 RumOrs at Rest

Mobile, July 2e.-(SpeciaL)-St Health Officer w. H. Sanders, in view of a rumor that has been circulated in other cities to the effect that yellow fever exists in the city of Mobile to- night made the following official state ment to the press:
 "Rumors to the effect that yellow fever is prevalent in this city having gained some circulation, have no hesi- tation in pronouncing them absolutely groundless. Any attempt to conceal the presence of that disease would not only be untrue to the spirit of scien- tific medicine and to obligations rest ing on all physicians and health of ficials, but would be utterly futile therefore, either the profession of Mo-
 bile nor I myself would be willing to place ourselves in so undesirable a po- sition.
 Since June 1 about 250 cases oi typhoid fever in and about Mobile have been reported to the health authorities with a mortality of II. These are tho plain facts, for which I am both per
 sonally and officially responsible. (Signed) w H. SANDERS, ''State Health Officer"

Gas Tank in Trouble Again

After series of mass meetings, pri- vate conferences and protestations con- corning the proposed erection of a gas tank at Palmer Terrace, the commis- sioners, who acted as referee succeeded last week in settling the question, as they thought to the satisfaction of all of. the inhabitants of Ensley, only to find themselves confronted yesterday after noon by 40 negro representatives of Ems ley requesting that the tank be located at some place other than Tuxedo Junc- ton.
 Prof. Ward Wood, principal of the Ems ley negro high school, acted as spokes- man for the crowd and after acauaint- ing the commissioners with the object of their visit he at once set forth the req sons why the erection of the tank did rot meet with their approval. He stated that the 40 representatives were good cit izens, owning their homes, but they felt that the tank would be a nuisance and that it would be detrimental to the well fare of their community.
 The commissioners. after listening to their plea, decided to make trip to Tuxedo and make an investigation.

WILSON REPORTS
 ON WILEY CASE
Recommends That Doctor Be Reprimanded But
 Not Discharged

Washington, July 26-SecretaryA of Agrf- culture Wilson today submitted his rec concentration on the Wiley case to Pres ident Taft Secretary Wilson advocated that Dr.. Wiley be admonished, but not discharged He stated that in his opinion Dr. Wiley had rendered too valuable a service to the government in the past and his services in the future would be also so valuable that anything more than mild reprimand would be wrong to pr. Wiley and detrimental to the govern ment.
 Under the recommendation the Presi- dent will be able to retain Dr. Wiley in his position as it has been believed all the time he would do. without seem- ing to ignore the advice of his Attorney General. Thus an embarrassing stua tion will be avoided.
 Secretary Wilson declines to discuss the nature of his report before the Pres ident sees fit to make 1t public. What little he has had to say has indicated that he had not advised turning down" f1atly the recommendation of his depart ment personnel committee and Attorney General Wickersham that the pure food champion be allowed to resign.
 From what was learned today it appears that the secretary upholds the charge of the committee that Dr. Wiley com- mitted grave error and violated the law. but suggests, that in view of the doctors splendid work in the past and his value to the department. he should be admonished and retained In the service
 There has been no intimation as to when President Taft will announce his decision in the case.
 The personnel committee charged Dr. Wiley with permitting an agreement to be made with Dr. II. H. Rusby of Co., lumbia university. New York. noted pharmacognosist, for compensatfon'in ex- cess of the maximum allowed by law.
 Since this became known protests against the proposed dismissal of pr. Wiley have been pouring In from all parts of the country. It was charged that in- terests whose activities have been in- terfered with by the pure food cham pion sought this means to get rid of him.
 An investigation of the case has been ordered by the .House and will begin soon. whatever may be the final decision of the President.
