OPPOSITION ID
 PAVING IN DECATUR Injunction Sought to Pro- hibit $15O,OOO Street
 Improvements

Decatur August hs-(Special)-A num- Der of the citizens of Decatur have in stituted court proceedings in the nature of an injunction against the city of De- catur to prohibit the cityl from spending something like $15o000 on street improve ments Some of the objections to these Improvements are that money Is scarce and that the price of Improvements is too high, as assessed against the prop erty by the city.
 Many of the people. however, are in favor of the improvements and the out come of the injunction will be looked forward to with great deal of interest.
 The Deeaturs will have the biggest and best county fair that has ever been held in north Alabama, commencing Septem- Der 21 and continuing one week. Secre- tary James H. Stone announces that the exhibits of live stock, poultry, farm and garden products, factories, womans work, school work. etc. will be the largest ton of tlie state.
 Secretary Stone has just landed big dairy, kitchen and forestry exhibit from the Southern railroad. This exhibit alone will occupy a space of 60 feet.
 
 Fine general rains over this section of the state during the past few days have been worth many thousands of dollars to the farmers and planters of this sec ton of Alabama. The rains have been of untold benefit to the growing crops of cotton and late corn and late gardens. Cotton and late corn is looking fine

 SHOWS CONFUSION
War Causes Notable Broad ening Out of Specula-
 tive Business


 Chicago, August 5.-Notable broaden ing out of speculative business on change accompanied the whirling of Great Britain into a general European var Despite the, enforcement of 10 per cent margins. the public at large would not be restrained from taking liberal hand at trading. in which rapid price changea covered rang of more than cents a bushel and which resulted in Isn extreme net advance of sA cents for wheat
 Export conditions were in greater confusion that at any time since the var began. Notwithstanding that ma ajority of dealers looked for a solu- tion being reached through action of the treasury. department at Washing ton in lieu. of seemingly futile efforts in London the prospect of success was sufficiently doubtful to ~keep leaders. if not the public, in conservative mood.
 One. of the most serious features or the wheat trade was the fact that zO- 00o,00o bushels intended for export were held up in virtual blockade al Galveston and New Orleans With the big gulf outlets choked. southwestern tiainloads were being headed for Chi cago and unless relief should be af- forded were threatening to swamp tenn porarily the market here.
