Political writer's in this state have been in the
practice Of referring with great reverence to the
opinions Of Mr. Macon; and no doubt he we'll
deserved al the respect which has been bestowed
upon him. On the present occasion we quote
his opinions with much pleasure.
The remarks Of Mr.. Macon in the extract
which appears below were brought to the rccolleo
tion of the edit.as Of the National Intelligcnccl
by the letter Of Mr.. Webster 10 his North Caro-
lima correspondent, Of the frs, instant. The &C.
carion which elected the rcmarks, as related by
the Intelligence, arose in debate In the House
Of Representatives In 1919, on the reception Of q
message from the President Of the United States
transmitting to that body ser cs Of papers 1.-THE
commission and correspondence Of John Henry,
British sgent proving, in the language Of Mr..
Madison, that, at then recent period. whilst the
two countries were still at peace, "a secret agent
Of the British Government was employed in GER
tain States in fomenting dsafiection to the con-
stitutcd authorities Of the naton and in intrigues
with the disafected for the purpose Of bringing
about resistance 10 tho laws, and eventually, in
concert with British force, Of destroying the
Union, and forming The Eastern part ihcreofinto
political connexion with Great Britain"
We well remember the excitement which was
produced throughout the country by this cxposi.
ton. Many believed that Henry was an i'm
postor, and that the whole matter was got up 10
swindle the Government out Of some fifty thou
sand dollars paid to him for tho papers; an i'm.
precision, which was in measure sustained by the
oblivion which soon passed over the whole affair.
But whether real or imaginary, il produced little
effect; we DO not know that even in the excited
state Of parties, any one was ever seriously accus
cd Of having thought Of secession" from the
Uni on.
Towards the close Of the debate in the HOUSE
of Representatives on the occasion referred to
Mr.. Macon took part, in a speech reported in tht
National Intelligcnccr Of March -, 1912. from
which the editors make the following extract. a
showing what was his opinion Of the inviolabili
ty Of the Union, and Of the conduct Of those wht
should conspirc to dissolve it:
"Mr. Macon said this was one o
those debates which sometimes arose
in the House, in which all were on one
side Of the question. Nothing can b
more true than that these papers d.
prove that Great Britain has not ye
ceased her attempts to disturb the peac'
of this nation. In this case, man whit
had been in the service Of this Govern
ment, preterring the British, was
whilst IN Canada, engaged by Gov
Craig to 60 into a part Of this countr..
to endeayor to procure division OF tn
Union. Mr.. Nj. said he had four year
ago stated that both Great Britain an
France had agents in this country. Ha
they not had them in other countries
They had; and he cited Holland as
particular instance.

Gloomy Prospects In Alabama

The Corn Crop through this whole Sec
lion Of country is literally destroyed,
Many Of our farmers are cutting down the
entire crops for fodder; whole and large
fields, in many instances. not affording a
single ear or shoot. Corn has already
been sold. here. we understand, at one
dollar and quarter per bushel; and there
is no telling what lis price will be before
the opening Of navigation enables US 10
get supplies from the seaboard.
Our provision market in other respects
is very scaniy. Bacon sides are selling
here now for eleven and thirteen cents per
pound. Flour Is selling al five and six
dollars hundred.
The cotton crop is greatly injured BY
The drought. and The probability is that i
will be cut off one-half or two-ihirds. In
the memory Of the oldest inhabitant. there
never has been known here drought SO

published in Woodville, Mississippi:
During the las, few days, report has
been in circulation in our vicinity to the

distressed father reloaded his gun and de-

DEAR SIR-Agreeable to your request,

the official returns, A. w. Venable re-

Although Mr.. venable received . MAORI.

body else, regards The result, as worse that
a Waterloo defea, in this county. Two
years ago. with regular and strong oppo-
sition, Mr.. Vcnable received about 100
votes more than he did at this election.

witnessed such an effort on The part of
himself and his friends. and believe un-

larger vote. There being 2lOO votes in

The following are some Of the reasons
why the opposition to venable did not
vote for Graves: Nearly half Of our tax
gatherings were over before his nomil,a.
lion reached here, and consequently a
large number Of voters did not know that
he would be voted for. Then there are
very many Of our people who will moi
