throughout Alabama. No negroes would be
admitted and no white man not in sympathy

drive anybody. white or black, from the party,
and if negroes wanted to get together and re-
organize their own league there was no objec-
ton. Col. J. H. Sloss, of Huntsville was made
permanent chairman.
A series of resolutions declaring that the
time had come for the republican party to or
game on the issue of protection, and urging
all persons who believe in that principle to Join
with them, and also a constitution for a white

WHERE SHADE TREES SHOULD DE.

Morningside Park has begun to take on the ap-
pearance of a park instead of side hill with an az
gregation of rocks and poor grass The wooden steps
leading up the hill gradually giving way TO more
substantial stone Ones although there are several
flights of wooden stairs yet remaining. The soddng
difficult task account OF the rocks and general
unevenness of the ground Many Of the small hilocks
were leveled off and the superfiuous dirt was used
20 fill UP the crevces in the rocks and then the
work Of sodding was begun. The one thing which
seems lacking and the loss of which is felt the great

scrubby LOOKING trees in the southern end ana lew
stuned bushes in tho northern end, and that is all.
IS understood that there are a number OF large
trees be ranspanted there In the spring, ana they
will improve the place greatly.
