.CULLMAN COUNTY RECEIVES SET BACK Only About S200,000 of the
 Bonds Can Be Voted 27,000 BALES GINNED Recent District Convention of Odd Fellows Quite Successful-Busi-
 ness Depression Broken in
 Measure by Good Weather
27,OO0 BALES GINNED

cullman, January 10-tSpeeial.l- According to an opinion submitted by attorneys ]. NJ. Fitzpatrick and W. F. James, the committee wh6 was appoint ed at the last regular meeting of the Cullman Commercial club to ascertain the legality of bond issue to build pike roads in this county. and to wheth- CT or nottt would be in compliance with the laws of the state and county To take the matter out of the hands of the county commissioners and place the funds in the hands of q special road commission to be elected at the same time the bonds were voted on, Cullman will fall short of her expectation in the issuance of bonds.
 It was thought that the county un- der the law would he entitled to issue nearly $400,000 worth of bonds for this purpose, but according 10 the informa- ton gathered by the attorneys. only s204447.50 worth of county bonds can be issued for this purpose.
 Messrs. Fitzpatrick and James have based their opinions on the tax valua- tion of the property in tho county as shown by the tax assessors books for the year. 1911. which was $5,S41,357. It is said that according to the general
 law, 3Ia per cent of the tax valuation
 is all that county can be bonded for
 for road building purposes, and if this
 be true, s20i,4i750 is all that Cullman
 county can be bonded for. which would
 be only enough to build about one half
 the roads that the people arc actually
 in need of at this time.
 1 The district convention of odd Eel lows, composed of the counties of Nor
 gan and Cullman, which convened in
 cullman yesterday morning. was in ses- sion until late hour Tuesday night.
 This was one of the most successful
 and largely attended meetings of it's
 kind held since the organization of the state into districts.
 The business depression which has prevailed in Cullman for the past six weeks because of the awful condition of the roads in the county and the inclemency of the weather. seems to have been broken in a measure. For the past three days the sun has been shining and the roads in the county are uryinS very IaSt ana the farmers are coming 10 town to do their trad ing.
 eCullman has broken her record in the production of cotton crop this year. and although about all the cotton has been disposed of at low price, there has been 27,000 bales ginned in the county this year. This is the largest Eginners' report for this county ever made, and Is surprising to the cotton | men of the town and county.

NORTH L0UP TO CONTROL
THE POPCORN MARKET

Predicting that the farming section
around North Loup will control the pop
corn market Of the world this year and
the prospects for good prices will be bet
ter than ever. w. T. Hutchins Of North
Loup, stopping at the Willard, believes
the acreage converted to this crop win
be considerably larger than that Of pre-
yious years. Popcorn brought 2.i5 a
hundred last year and the yield ran from
1900 to 5000 pounds to the acre with some
growers. The average that this fertile
spot brought. however. with weather
conditions so unfayorable. was about LOO
pounds.
Because Of the high price We got for
popcorn last year" Mr.. Hutehins said,
the acreage planted this year will far
exceed that Of any year before. The
prospects for crop is surely great and
our shipments will probably control the
popcorn market Of the world"
