MoyrGoMraY. Ala, April 30, 1913.
Col !. w. 4. PETIT Of Euiaula, Formerly
irwinton.) has received the nomination Tor Con-
gross from the Wings of this District At the
Convention held ut C;,rrolton, Pickens County,
Col. ELISHA loUNG, of Greensboro, Greene Co.,
received the nomination. Col. Y. is every inch Il
Wing, a firm supporter Of Henry Clay and Il Ma
tonal Bank His District is doubtful, but his
chance for being elected is very fair, unless the
! Locos nominate Col. John Erwin, OF Greensboro
who, with Payne, the present member, are the
presumed candidates for nominations | believe
Payne will receive it, from the fact that Erwin is
not old enough IN the party, and will most likely,
after obtaining office. for which many fear he
changed return to his first principles. Should
Erwin, however, obtain the nomination, he will
split the Wing vote III Greene sufficiently to pre-
vent Youngs election. In the Mobile District,

JAMES DELLETr, Of Claiborne. formerly a member
of Congress from this State, will, think. be the
man. lie can poll stronger vote than any 9TH
or man IN the District, and may be relied on as a
true Wing and Bank man. The very long and
cold winter has been succeeded with us by sum.
lner weather. The weather has been very fine
for planting and both Corn and Cotton have
come up finely The stand OF the latter is very
fine, and large quantity has been planted. Our
currency, for some time past, has been very uni
form Exchange continues at Is per cent, at
which rate It is likely to continue till the Bank
OF Mobile advances her rates or ceases to draw.
The citizens of the State arc firm in the belief
that the money will be better next winter. Upon
what they found their hope | know not. All
contracts for bagging and rope, made payable
next winter, and in fact almost all contracts made
! payable next year, learn, are made payable in
specie funds. Shortly after the Cotton season is
over, the Bank of Mobile will doubtless discard
the State money, which she now receives on de.
post, payable in the same and it will cease to
circulate as currency at par. Notes of the Bank
OF Mobile and specie must furnish us with cir
culatlng medium. The State Bank notes from
the very large amount which must necessarily re-
MAN out. Will perhaps continue tn perplex us, but
1t is to DE hoped that it will pass only for what it
viii BRING IN good funds, and that Alabama may
be added 10 her sister States that have reached a
specie basis and. beng The last to obtain it, may
she be among the last to retain it, Yours, &c.
