 The annual fight over the rivers and hartors bill soon will be precipitated in the House. The $4O,0O0,000 appropriation bill for this session will be voted out of committee Tuesday, and will be brought up in about fortnight to run the gauntlet of the House. Many members propose to insist upon new projects. The measure is confined to completion of projects already authorized or main tel. ance of existing works.
 The postoffice appropriation bill, al ways the vehicle of protracted political oratory, is tagging along with the pros pect of occupying at least all of the coming week, except for days set aside for special orders of business. The main fight is on the rural free delivery pro- visions, and on new legislation propos- ing to change the system of railway mail compensation to space basis, and to provide for government bonding of de. partment officers and naval contractors

 Practically 50 per cent of the cotton area of Alabama was materially af- fected by the poll weevil, which neces- sarily brought the yield below last years average.
