Legislators Knew Little
About Pettus County Bill.

wv the the. citizens s, Of birmins-
mapping, began making an energetic
fight to prevent the creation of Pet
'tus county at the expense of the great
Birmingham district, surprising
state of affairs was revealed in the
Legislature.
Members pledged themselves to vote
for the Pettus county bill, of Repre-
sentative Ross, under the impression
that there was no objection whatever
to the wholesale grabbing of Birming-
hams industries, rich mineral lands,
sewerage system and Warrior river
In fact, they seen to
have been under the impression that
both Birmingham and Bessemer would
be delighted and the arrangement
would be admirable for everybody con-
,cerned.
Of course these legislators had Civ
len no study to the Ross bill. A ma
jority were prepared to vote favorably
on it, just as many another mea sure
has been passed at Montgomery, with
out having any idea what it meant.
Chairman George W. Yancey, of the
Birmingham committee working
against the Ross bill, is quoted in The
Age-Herald as saying that most of the
Legislators who were pledged to vote
for the bill acknowledged that they
had not looked into it carefully and
did not know how unjust it would be
to the city of Birmingham and Jeffer-
son county.
AS result of work done by the Rir-
mingham lobby, some of the pledges
were withdrawn and the Ross bill de-
feated yesterday in the house. Yet cit
liens Of Birmingham, noted for their
alertness and progressiveness, cannot
criticize the state legislature with
out realization that they were also
strangely remiss and but for an elev-
enth hour rally, the Ross bill would
have been passed and the growth of
the Birmingham district permanently
retarded.

AN AMAZING WILL

From, the New York Herald.
When Andrew Carnegie died. the
Herald, in common with most inte.li-
gent persons, suspected that the ircn-
master had failed to realize the an
nounced ambition of his life-to die
poor. This just shows how important
it is to remember the wise remark Of
the late DR.. Mark Twain, You should
never prophesy unless you know"
AS Mr.. Elihu Root, Jr., remarked in
the memorandum to the public relat-
ing to the probate of the will, Mr.. Car
negie actually did succeed in divest-
ing himself in the course of his life Of
the stupendous fortune of $35o,00o,0oo,
and at his death disposed Of the re-
mainder. some $50, OO0,o 600. So that this

not as deserving annuitants, but as

1t may be that nobody else ever had

with it, In acquiring his wealth and
in d,sposing of it he used his very

Prospective Cotton Crop
and Weevils and Worms.

THE United States department of
y agriculture's cotton crop fore
cast, issued this week, was larger
than had been expected, and, there
fore, made bearish market.
Government crop reporting has been
brought up to science, but since the
data upon which the last estimate was
made was tabulated, the boil weevils
and the army worms have been play
ing havoc. The pests have been doing
|great damage during several weeks
past, but their ravages have been
worse in this part of the belt within
the past few days than in any former
period of the season.
Many careful observers not influ-
lenced by speculative considerations,
were willing to admit that the crop
would exceed the eleven million bale
mark, but now doubt that it will total
ten million bales.
In July Alabama's production was
estimated at eight hundred and fifty
thousand bales. Today, it is safe to
assume that it will fall below six hun
dred thousand bales. The farmer who
lis able to pick any cotton will get a
fancy price for it. And in several
counties of Alabama, despite the
pests, fairly good crops will be ginned

men in the way of having a house,

A BORROWED SOUND

Uncle Dudley in the Boston Globe.
A boy and his mother stood one sum-
mer morning by a window in Cardinal
Woolsey's old palace, Hampton Court.
Listen, mother" said the boy. Some
one is whistling the bird song from
Siegfried."
They listened.
Sure enough" said the mother Let $
see if we can see who it is? %
They looked out. The court was empty.
'rhere it is again. they exclaimed to-
gether, and then the boy, with his sharp
er eyes, cried:
why it's a bird.
1t was the lark. The composer had gone
to nature for his song.
