HARMAN HOME. Pale and ’Ertfecfeled, the Railway Mag nate Reaches New York * New York City.—Edward H. Hard man. genius of finance, leader of men jui& -imuifer organizer of railroad sys tems., came back to the United States while the financial world stoed on tip toes and anxiety and expectancy.

Surrounded by his family and! physicians at his magnificent home! at Arden-on-the-Hudson, he has begun the ‘Taller cure” which he needs after I the enervating- baths and dietetic! treatment he underwent at the Aus trian resort.

ALABAMA LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS. Many Dra*tic Prohibition Bill* Passed By Lawmakers. Montgomery, Ala. —The special ses sion of the Alabama legislature, which I adjourned after twenty-two working ! days, accomplished the chief purpose i for w hich it was called by passing the most drastic prohibition laws ever passed by any state, and capping the laws by submitting to the people an amendment to the constitution prohib iting the sale or manufacture of in toxicants in Alabama. The election will bn held the last week in Novem ber. Governor Comer, in his call for the xtra session, urged a compulsory edu cation law, and the submission of a constitutional amendment for biennial ie. -ions of the legislature, and the creation of new counties. These three ideas failed, the educa tional bill and the counties’ amend ment being defeated, and the biennial essions proifositicn not being intro duced. At least ton prohibition measures were patted. Under the new laws a person may not have liquor anywhere but his home. Keeping it at other places is made prima facie evidence that it is for sale. Prosecutions are to be made before chancellors, and not juries, and state attorneys and sheriffs may be impeached for failure to execute the laws. Foreign corpo ’-ations may not do business of any kind in Alabama if it is shown that they sell or manufacture liquors in other states. New pure food and drug laws were passed; the state is given a complete ly new jury' .-ystem, designed to aid prohibition prosecutions, and many changes were made in the civil code. Few railroad measures were passed. Many of those passed by other legis latures wore repealed or amended to meet the opinions of federal courts. 200 PESPLE BKOWNEB.

Memphis, Tenn. —The Commercial- Appeal’s weekly cotton summary says: The crop is suffering from the want of rain in Tennessee, Arkansas, Okla homa and Texas and the hill lanas in Mississippi.

In Texas the improvement begun the previous week was checked. A general soaking rain is needed to relieve the situation. Crops in the two Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama improved and reports from the Mississippi delta are better. In these districts picking will not be gin until well after September 1, as the plant is still growing and setting fruit. In Louisiana the hot w’eather was beneficial because many weevils were destroyed, but so much damage has already been done that estimates for the yields are light.
