amount OF exercise; they should be
housed where there is plenty OF fresh
air. they should be kept free from lice
and mites and provided with green
food and plenty OF fresh water. II all
these things are promptly attended to.
there should be n good profit from the
farm fowls during the winter when

ID HEAR b|G LAND
 SUIT AT ANN|STON
Arguments on Demurrers Filed By Defendants May
 Be Heard Next Month

Anniston. April 26.-(Special )-Decrees pro confesso were taken last week agair st three of the defendants to the suit brought against the Anniston City Land company, the million dollar Annis- ton realty concern which the minority stockholders are seeking to dissolve. and arguments on the demurrers filed by the other defendants will likely be heard by Chancellor W. w Whiteside next month. One of the defendants, John W. Coleman. admitted the allegations fin his answer to the bill of complaints.
 Four more of the minority stockholders of the company a Mrs Harris of Mont gomery and a Mrs. Marshall of Mississ- ippi. Miss Mary Noble of Anniston and H. B. Latham of Pickens county. Ala. have joined with the complainants. and amendments to the original bills were filed by Attorney Rutherford Lapsey and Willett and Wilett last week.
 The amendments allege that the expen- ses of the company are greater than its annual profits. The plaintiffs complain specifically against the failure to utilize the Anniston Inn building. costing origi- nally about s15o.0oo and the Annston City Land company building, which cost between $60.000 and s75,000. The taxes. in- surance etc., on these buildings, it Is averred, exceed the annual income de- rived from them. The Inn building was once the finest hotel in the south, being for a number of years the home of sam uel w. Noble Vice President Adlai Stevenson and other notables were enter tained there during pioneer days, and 1t was the first hotel in the United States to be equipped throughout with incandes- cent lights

Fur Trapping in Maine

From the New York Sun.
 Gardiner, Me.--In one days trapping Arthur G. Robinson of Gardiner purchas- ed at Jefferson sixty-nine skins, sixteen of which he obtained from Mir. Moody, who latter in the season captured the black fox, which also was purchased by Mir Robinson and the price paid was said to be about s2O00 This animal was captured alive and was taken to Auburn by Mr. Robinson, where 1t was to be placed later on a fox rarm. MT. Robin son conducts a sporting goods store and as a side line buys furs of the local trap pers.
 Among the fur freaks he purchased a white muskrat which was said by him to be the first one he had seen in 70 years. He obtained one at time and it was considered a curiosity rather than for use in the fur line of goods.
 About two years ago Mir Robinson pur- chased of Perley Lawrence of Augusta moose skin. He had Edward Horne tan it. This fall MT. Horn delivered it and when the bundle was opened 1t was a puzzle to the local fur makers to tell what kind of an animal 1t was. The hair on 1t was finer than that of six weeks old calf and 1t was as fine nearly as a mink skin to the touch of ones hand Mir Robinson is planning on hav- ing it made into fur lined coat for his personal use.

COTTON MARKET HAS
 UPWARD TENDENCY
Mexican Situation and Un- favorable Weather Over
 Belt Responsible

New Orleans. April 26.-The cotton mar ket had an upward tendency this last week, partly the result of unfavor- able weather conditions over the belt and partly because of the Mexican situa- tion The close was at net gain of F to 20 points. At the highest of the week prices were 23 to 20 points over last weeks close; at the lowest they were 1 to 5 points under.
 Too much rain fell in many sections of the belt and in some portions tenn peratures were not high enough for the good of the crop The Mexican trouble was considered bullish because 1t was believed that it would tend to reduce the acreage under cotton this spring. espe- cially in Texas.
 During the week to come the main in fluence will be the weather conditions over the belt, the Mexican situation and also the spot situation. Warm and dry weather is needed to complete planting and bring up seed already planted. Ac- tual war with Mexico would probably cause a higher market. The constantly decreasing into sight movement is caus- ing nervousness among spot shorts be- cause they fear that it means exhaus- tation of supplies fin the interior. The position the spot market is In may re- suit in more or less excited trading in the May option during the coming week.
