Much Attention by Guam

Business on Morris avenue is steady
and the market as a whole is firm.
Produce dealers report good business
for yesterday, but quotations in that
line are unchanged.
The fish market is attracting more at
tention at the present time than any
other line. There are more fish on the
local market now than for IL months
past. one dealer is said 10 have 10000
pounds. The prices in Birmingham are
as cheap as at the coast.
The grain market continues steady
and no change in quotation Is noted
Except wheat bran. which went up 50
cents yesterday.
Poultry and eggs are In fair demand

BREWER TO PROBE
STATES AFFAIRS TO
THE VERY BOTTOM
Governor Determined to Go
After More of Those AL
legged to be Robbing
State of Funds

Jackson, Miss. May S.-fSpecia1)-Go
ernor Brewer is spending a few days IN
Clarksdale. his old home. but he declined
10 state what he was going there for just
at this time In view of the fact that
Boyce & Co, the cotton buyers of Menu
phis, who have purchased most of the cot-
ton raised on the state convict farms dur
ing the past four or five years, have maiu-
tanned an office at Clarksdale, 1t is be-
leved the governor is there in pursuance
of his investigation of the affairs of tho
penitentiary.
Six months ago when the governor
stated he had heard a great deal OF nn-
favorable talk about the methods Of
handling the state cotton crop and the
charges of grating and swindling the
state, his political enemies reared up on
their pastern joints and poo-hooed al the
idea of anything crooked. Since the de-
velopments of last week, when 1t was an
nounced that Laurence Yerger, secretary
of the board of trustees, had confessed
to having appropriated several thousand
dollars to his own use, good many peo-
pie have changed their mind and now in
sst that the probe be rammed all the way
through That is what the governor pro-
poses to do, but he is handicapped be-
cause he has no funds with which to pay
detectives and expert accountants.
He has requested the board of trustees
of the penitentiary to assist him with an
allowance sof cash from their funds, but
they have very positively declined and re-
fused to do so. The governor stated yes-
terday that he was going to pull tho
money out of his own pocket, IL neces-
sary. and go down after some more of
those who have been robhing the state.
He is satisfied half million dollars have
been stolen. and does not believe that
Yerger is the only guilty man by any
means. Interesting developments ara
looked for in few days--in fact ths
detectives have alrea1x r<Qtnised them.

Sunday School Census

Bay Minette, May Especial )-The
work of taking up a statistical Sunday y
school report of this place has been prac-
tically completed, and in several in7
stances remarkable records are shown.
The work of taking this census has been
in progress for several days, and was
thought to have been completed when It
was discovered that all the boarding
houses had escaped and these are being
numbered now. The reports as COM
pleted at present show that out of the S23
people who have been seen, a little more
than 55 per cent attend Sunday school.
1t is found that 81 per cent of the adults
attend and 7S.3 per cent of the minors
attend. These percentages in numbers
show 166 adult Sunday school workers
and 293 children who are workers 1t
school has a very remarkable record, in
that 81 per cent of its membership at
tend; the Baptsts have 50 per cent IN
attendance. and the Methodists have
80 per cent These statistics will prob
ably be varied but little by the remaind-
of the census, though the total num-
bers will be increased materially.

With Pellagra and Case Reported
Hopeless

Dadeville, May .-(Special)-The con-
dition of Max Adams, who has been con-
fined to his room for many weeks. is re-
ported hopeless The physicians have
pronounced the disease pellagra. Mr..
Adams is tax collector for the county
and has rendered faithful services in his
position for eight years. He is one of
the most popular officials the county has
ever had.
The small grain crops which promised
large Yields a few weeks ago have been
cut off greatly by five weeks of dry
weather. Farmers are much concerned
also about the stands of cotton and corn.
A four mule team in the county road
service was frightened at an automobile
standing by the side of the road in front
of the residence of DR.. Salmon and be
came unmanageabe The driver, Ed
Kelly. was thrown from the wagon and
severely injured.

MOVEMENT NARROW
AND MEANINGLESS
None of Leaders Moves a
Point Above or Below
Wednesdays Close

New York, May s.-Speculation drifted
back into lethargic condition today, and
movements of stocks were narrow and
meaningless. The sharp fluctuations
earlier in the week seemed to have ex-
hausted the resources of traders for the
time being, and on neither side of the
market was there a disposition to take
the initiative
In the face of yesterdays brisk rally,
bear traders made no attempt ooperate
extensively. At the same time the mar
ket still reflected the lack of buying pow
er, the recent upturns apparently having
peen little more than demonstrations
against the short interest Under these
conditions the market approached a state
of deadlock today. None of the leading
speculative stocks moved a point above
or below yesterdays close.
This apathetic condition was illustrated
by the markets singular lack of respon-
sveness to two important developments:
ihe government crop report showing an
Improvement over the previous estimates,
themselves highly satisfactory and an
indicated winter wheat crop of $4,000 600
bushels, compared with an indicated yield
year ago of S70,o00,o0o bushels Publica-
ton of this report fell fat as a stock
market influence.
The monthly figures of the copper pro-
ducers, the second development revealed
shrinlage in stocks on hand of neafly
100000 pounds. Although a decline had
been predicted, the amount was much in
excess of estimates, bringing down the
stocks of the metal to the smallest figure
reported since last September.
A slight advance in Amalgamated oc-
Cured after the appearance Of the fig
ures, but otherwise the showing passed
unnoticed in the market.
There were few weak features. Can
adian Pacific was depressed more than
points, on selling from Montreal. Ches-
apeake and Ohio. regarding which there
has been talk of possible cut in divi-
dend, touched a new low figure for the
year. at G21sc.

Atlantic states. SO that our market did
not fully respond to the better demand

traders became free sellers as they are
deeply imbued with the belief that the
result of the tariff will be serious in

will sell at very low prices.
On the other hand spinners have drawn
