Weather Conditions

Birmingham, May 2.-G P. M)-The pressure continues high over the eastern portion of the country, but the areas are ill defined and possess but slight energy.
 Over the southern Rockies and plains states, however, there is a well defined and extensive depression and while it has produced no large general rain area, it has caused conditions to be unsettled gen. erally from the Sierra Nevada to the AL leghenies.
 Rather local rains have occurred on the Texas gulf. the lower Mississippi val ley and from Lake Michigan to North Dakota. The only large rain area ex- tends over the northern half of the coun- try west of the Rockies, where the in- fiuence of another high pressure area is felt

 In the cotton belt fair weather pre- vailed in Texas and Oklahoma. Showers occurred in Tennessee. Mississippi Ala bama and in extreme southern Texas. Temperatures were several degrees lower than those of Wednesday,

BERRIES ARE BEING

This Week Has Been Banner One for Strawberry Ship
 ments Around Cuba

Cuba, May 2.-(Special) )--This has been the banner week for strawberry ship ments, about two cars per day going out In splendid shape, due to the clear wealth er Indications now point to a fair crop and with no rainfall this week the season bids fair to close up with figures on the right side for the growers. So far the prices received have been fair, shipments have reached destination in marketable shape. the railways making record time in handing especially on their trains pick ing up cars at night.
 A sight seldom witnessed here was that of, 400 pickers and packers in one field to- day, all busy picking and packing. A record was made yesterday when 4S,00O quarts were ready for shipment, being the result of two days picking.
 The crop is ripening all at once this year and the shipping season will last about three weeks, s,aas compared with 40 days last year. The Bank of Cuba will have to have 1900 silver dollars to be paid pickers on Saturday. A card system originated by Frank Holman, is in use bv which he can pay off the 400 hands in iess than one hour. Commencing at D. m. they line up and are paid off by inc tabulation shown on the cards they wear around their necks. It is the greatest in- noVatlon in bookkeeping ever seen and makes easy the problem of keeping track of what each picker does.
 All that is needed now is clear weather Tor few days to give growers profit and railways tonnage.
 Green peas are moving in volume now, small cars going out daily by express. Prices on peas are somewhat low this sea- son for the opening, but so far have been well sustained.

 SMITM BILL DURING SESSION

Montgomery, May 2.-(SPecial)-- )--The Supreme court of Alabama will render a decision ca the constitutionality of the Smith local option bill during the present term of court. Opinion as to the courts ruling on this important act varies, many believing that the Aourt will render a reverse decision, This Aopinion is by nb means general
 however. the large pertentage of law 'yers maintaining that the higher tri- bunal will rot interfere with the act claiming that the bill was drawn by some of the most distinguished and able attorneys of fhe state, and that the constitutionality of the bill was at that time considered from every viewpoint.
 In the event the supreme court ren- ders a reverse decision, there will be, in the opinion of local optionists, one obvious result. The governor will call the legislature together and frame an- other bill, along similar lines, granting to the people of the state the privi- leges to be derived from the operation

 OVER UNDERWOOD'S VICTORIES

Montgomery, May 2.-(special)-Th re- suit of the Georgia and Florida primaries has given the keenest pleasure and grati- fcation to the officials of the state capitol, Governor O'Neal, who declared today that greatest personal elation over Under- woods victory in these two states.
 The action of the democrats in Florida and Georgia on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week has put Oscar Underwood in the limelight as a presidential candi- date more clearly than at any time in the past few months, is the opinion of Governor O'Neal, who declare dtoday that Underwoods cause might have been seri- ously impared had he not taken these two states.
 T anticipated that Georgia and Florida would go for Underwood" said Governor O'Neal. but I had thought that the race would be closer than it was. Without the delegations from Florida and Georgia, Underwoods candidacy would have been seriously impaired, in my opinion, and believe now that Mississippi, North Caro-

lima and Tennessee will follow the lead of Alabama and her two sister states in instrueting delegates to the national con- vention to vote for Underwood"
 Governor O'Neals sentiments are those Of practically every official at the state capitol. all admitting that Underwood is now the most prominent candidate for the democratic nomination and that the action of the southern states, if all fol- low the lead of Alabama, Georgia and Florida, will to a geat extent stimulate strength and influence for Underwood in other states of the union
 Capitol officials are all optimistic in regard to Underwood's chances. All of the members of the states official fam fly are men of acute political instincts, who keep themselves thoroughly posted in regard to the situation in all sections of the country, and their views are not regarded either as idle prophecies or as the mere expressions of enthusiasts From Governor O'Neal down they have all stud jed the situation calmly and dispassion- ately, and they all regard Underwood as a sure winner. They believe he will be nomipated for the presidency at the na- tional convention.
