JUDGE NJ. b. WOOD.

Judge Wood said that he had perempto-
rily refused to allow the use of his name
in connection with the congressional NOM
nation, and declared that his brother,
Maj Wood, was not candidate, nor would
he be nominated nor accept nomination.
He gave Us to understand that another
man was hid out in the bushes, and that
Wood, Mills, Slemp nor Dickinson, would
not be called for this time. The convcn-
ton at Abingdon Monday will probably
indicate the nominee. The judge thinks
the republicans will win.

Pig Iron Production.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Ths superin-
tendent of census has just issued his bull
letin on the production of pig iron in the
United States during the year ending
June 80, 1890. In this bulletin the su-
perintendent says the production of pig
iron, including Bessemer, during the
year named aggregated 8, 579, 779 tons
of 20, 900 pounds to the ton, as COM
pared with s,7s9, OIL tons produced dur
ing the census year of 1870. 1t will be
gratifying to note the great strides
which the Southern states have made in
the manufacture of pig iron since
1880, the total production in that
year being 250, 1876 tons, as
against 1,7s0, 300 tons in 1890.
Developments of the manufacture of pig
iron in the United States during the ten
years from 1880 to 1890, has been phe-
nomenal, and at the present rate of in
crease in production, this country is des-
tined soon TO become the leading pro-
dneer OF pig iron in the world, possibly
reaching this distinction in the calendar
year of 1890. In point of production

Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX. April 1.-THE following
resolutions were adopted by the Bellevue
Alliance at its last meeting:
Whereas, believing that one reason why the
laboring classes are so oppressed is that there
are so many men elected to Office who are not in
sympathy with the laboring class; therefore
be it
Resolved. by the Bellevue Alliance, that we
will endeavor in the coming election to cast our
votes for such men we know 70 be identified
with the workingmen.
2. That will not vote for any man whom
we know to buy the peoples vote in any
manner.
3.-That we viii not vote for any man whom We
know follows any immoral conduct.
1. That deprecate the action of the last
legislature in legaliZing priZe-hghCiug; further
more we will not vote for any man to represent
US in the state legislature whom we know to be
in favor OF same.
3. We believe the laboring class have the
right, and it is ther,duty to elect men to Office
from president OF the United States down to pre-
cinct constable.
s. Seeing that the farmers aud the Iaboring
class generally the worst opposed of any
class OF people in the world, whereas, seeing
that our only chance is at the ballot-box, re-
solved, that We petition to the county Alliance
to select from our ranks and to do our utmost to
elect to office those that in sympathy with
us, that will enact laws which will be beneficial
to Us and detrimental to none
These and the resolutions passed by the
county Alliance indicate that the walk

LOVE HEEDS NO TRADITIONS.
Jefferson Davfs's Daughter to Marry Grand
son of AbOIitIOnist Samuel j. May.

son of AbOlitiOnist Samuel j. May.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, April I6.-A cor
respondent has verified the report that
Miss Winnie Davis, the eldest daughter
of Jefferson Davis, the late president of
the Southern Confederacy, is soon to
marry Mr.. Albert Wilkinson of this city :,
the grandson of Samuel J. May the
great abolitionist leader.
Miss Davis came North four years ago
to visit DR.. Thomas Emery, of D. Nc
Carthy s. Co., in this city. 1t was her
first visit to this old abolitionist strong
hold, and she was quite anxious to meet
the society people of Syracuse At one
of the receptions given in her honor she
was introduced to Mr.. wilkinson. Miss
Winnie received very cool reception in
one or two houses here. Mr.. Wilkinson
resented the GOODNESS shown her and gall
lantly championed her cause. The
friendship thus engendered blossomed
into love.
Miss Winnie, later on, went to Europe
with cousin. and is still there. Mr..
Wilkinson, two months ago, crossed the
ocean to see Miss Davis and spent several
weeks with her Sightseeing on the con-
tinent and pressing his suit. When he
returned they were betrothed.
Mr.. Wilkinson is bright and promis-
ing young lawyer here, about twenty
eight years of age. His income is quite
fair, but he is not a rich man. The
young man moves in the very best society
here and stands high in the community.
The actual time for the wedding has
not been set, but it is understood that the
date will be in the near future. It is
vaguely limited that there is no very re-
mote connection between the European
trip and the wedding trousseau.
