the rope one of the heifers made a
lunge at Bogue, who took to his heels.
An eyewitness declares that Bogue

WATERWORKS BILL
 ID BE REC0MM|TTED
Shapiro Scores Point in Brush With Weakley
 on Floor
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Montgomery. August M-(Special)-Bi minsham washed It's dirty linen on the floor of the house thls morning when Representative Weakley vigorously op- posed the effort of Representative Shapiro to restore life to the bill which would give the municipal government the right to condemn the property of the Birming- ham Waterworks company.
 This bill, as is remembered. is that thorn in the side which has precipitated moro than one interesting controversy, and 1t was because of the efforts of Bir- minsham to have this bill taken from the adverse calendar, that majority of the members of the delegation were in- duced to demand of the city fathers a description of the alleged "remunerated lobby"
 Therefore, there was more than usual interest prevalent this morning when Representative Shapiro moved that the bill be taken from the adverse calendar. Representative weakley opposed His at ever his antagonist was resourceful ever lis tagonistic was resourceful, and carried his subsequent point that the
 bill be recommitted. Representative
 Shapiro believes that majority of the
 members of the committee will now vote to report the bill favorahly.
 The bill is amended so that It's pro- visions will not conflict with the contract
 now existing under which Birmingham
 will acquire through Arbitration and pur- | chase the property of the waterworks :, company. On the surface. in view of the | contract which exists, the bill Is apparent 1 ly of httle force. However the very right possessed by the city to condemn the property of the waterworks company will materially decrease the value of the as-
 sets of the company when the purchase l price Is being determined by the com
 mittee of appraisers. Tn other words, l the appraisers would probably consider the property of the company less valu- | able. possibly 10 the extent of N,00oono, l than ii would be were the city without l the right of condemnation.
 l The Issue at stake. therefore, is $l,ooo- GOO, and the bill is of far greaer signfi- 1 canoe that one would judge by simple inspection of It's provisions

 grand lodge of the negro Masonic or ders of the state will convene in an- nual session here Tuesday morning, August IF. The sessions of the con- vention will be presided over by W. T. Wood of Mobile. grand master of the state The preliminary meeting of the auditing committee of the grand lodge was held in Selma during the past week.
 In the state of Alabama there are at present $50 negro Masonic lodges. These different lodges have a combined mem- bership of about 1S.0O0 and are located in every county in the state. Through Prof R. B. Hudson of Selma there is paid out by the order each year about sS0,000.
 In conjunction with the convention cf the grand lodge of Masons will be held the annual convention of the Eastern Star association, the female branch of the order, which also has several hundred lodges throughout the state. with a membership running into the thousands The two conventions will be in session for three days and it is expected they will be attended by fully c000 delegates, every county in the state being represented.
 R. A. Mclean of Rock Island, H., dep- utp head consul of the Modern Woodmen of America, was a visitor to Selma dur ing the past week. There was formerly & chapter of the order located in this city, and the object of the visit of MT. Mclean to Selma was for the pur- pose of reorganizing this chapter. Wesley Campbell. a resident of Selma, was seriously hurt in a runaway acci- dent on Broad street Friday. MT. Camp bells condition was considered quite se- rious Saturday morning. but 1t is expect

 The movement of cotton to market is expected to become very general through out central Alabama during the coming g two weeks. Selma received her first bale some days ago, which brought good price then sold at auction in front of the cotton exchange. According to all reports 1t is expected that Selma during the coming commercial year will receive only about half the number of bales as will be received during the present commer- cial year. The boil weevi has done con- siderable damage throughout this section of the state. and only about half crop will be gathered according 10 reports.

LOBBY
 HELPS PASS BILL
Attorney Generals Measure Passes After Checkered
 Career
By HIGH ". ROBERTS.

Montgomery, August i4--tSpecial.) )--The members of the so-calle6 prohibition lobby arc given credit for the success this morning in the senate of the bill generally termed the attorney general s bin.''
 This measure, giving the attorney gen tral authority to employ assistants and special counsel, and appropriating for the remuneration of such assistants and spe- cial counsel, the sum of N50o0. was intro dueed last winter, and put through the house. In the senate it has had a check cred career.
 It was early realized that this bill con- stituted another issue between the gov ernor and the prohibition lobby. The committee on revision of laws, adversed the bill. The friends of the bill after verse calendar and recommitted it. The committee. extracted the teeth of the bill. that is, eliminating the clause carrying the appropriation, and reported 1t favor- ably. s.
 That was the situation when the lobby arrived on the scene this morning. Im- medately, thereafter the bill was called up, and after spirited debate was amended in such manner that the ap- propria ting clause was restored. In that fashion. 1t passed the senate by a vote of 20 to 10. and will immediately go to the governor for his approval. That the governor will veto it. Is considered cer- tain.
 Col. Fred NJ. Jackson, the we'll known citizen of Birmingham. declared that hs came to Montgomery for the purpose oi doing what he. could in the interest of the bill.
 "I thought that the provisions of the bill would conserve the cause of prohibit tion. and sthat 1t was my duty to aid Il in passing the senate. It has passed the senate, and my work Is completed. will return, in all probability no more.'
 The passage of the bill was considered in the nature of big victory for the anti ndmnlstra ton forces.

 At present the prisoners are at work enlarging their living quarters, and that will not be completed for a year. MT.
