County to contest against Colonel
Jones. the D.mocratic candidate for

THE 100000 DALLAS
COTTON MILL A GER
TAlNTY.
Huntsville's Fame Spread
Abroad.
New and Enterprislng CAPITAL
lists Become Workers
for Our City.

The declaration for the incorporation
of the Dallas Cotton Mills, to he located
in our city, has been filed in the Probate
Office of Madison county, as required by
law.
The following well known business
men and financiers are the incorporators:
Godfrey NJ. Fogg, Augustus H. Robin
son, T. B. Dallas, of Nashville, Tenn;
VIM. Flanagan. Of New York; Milton
Humes, Huntsville,
Our city can well afford to rejoice and
be exceeding glad over her great success
Comment on this mammoth enterprise is
unnecessary. We will only say, for the
benefit Of the public and those interested,
that the plant is to cost *1 ,OO0, 900 This
will add, including employees and their
families, not less than four thousand
souls to our growing population.
The well known character of the incOr-
pOratOrs is a guarantee in itself of the
success OF this the greatest enterprise ev-
er inaugurated in the Southern States
Not only is this true, but an additional
and important fact is that this mill will
bring into the field OF active workers for
our city large number of the wealthiest
and most influential workers in the Unit
ed States.
The building of this mill is the begin
ming of new era in the history Of Hunts
vile. Not only will it advertise our city,
but it will draw the eye Of hundreds of
other manufacturers on the advantages
of Huntsville as great manufacturing
point.
To be seen and known is all that our
nature-blessed locality needs to attract;
so we can reasonably expect that numei-
GUS enterprises, from the greatest to the
smallest, will soon add to the wealth. life
and prosperity of Huntsville. All honor
is due to the enterprising spirit of our
public spirited people who so promptly
respsaded to the call fss subscription 70
the stock II % mill. Our people have
immortalized themselves, and by so doing
have addressed themselves to the admi-
ration and confidence OF the business
world.
In conclusion we beg to say one word
in just praise of Charles Ii. Halsey. Mr.
Halsey has demonstrated by his success
that he is the right man for the place he
holds; man whose brains and energy
has produced the grandest results. Com
bined with the qualities mentioned, Mr..
Halsey has the confidence of our people
With these elements to back him he has
made fight and won victory for
Huntsville that will immortaliZe his
name.

Writes Hi, Own Epitaph:

Mr.. EZELL,- 1.-THE nominee of the late Re-
publican State Convention for Attorney
General, is quoted as saying:
II wish to make it public that | can
not accept the nomination for Attorney
General rendered recently by the Repub-
lican Convention. | am Republican
and would feel it an honor to accept the
nomination made by convention OF the
Republican party. AS an eyewitness,
know that the recent meeting at Mont
gOmery was not a convention. Excepting
a few gentlemen that were there by mis-
take, it was meeting Of negro politicians
and deputy collectors. An instantaneous
photograph of that meeting would be a
political education to those in power who
made such meeting possible. If the
time comes when such assemblages are
not recognized as representing the party,
a convention could and would assemble
in Alabama that would at least command
the respect of the country"
We hear that Mr.. Ezell came on
to Huntsville after the convention
and that the above letter was written
by Z psenAiseas 6slesa here f4r kia
He was insths convention, participat-
ed in the proceedings and we under
stand solicited the nomination.
Under the circumstances the above
card comes in poor grace, indeed,
from Mr.. Ezell. His letter will con
front him in the future. The Re
publicans of this state will keep it for
future reference.

THE CARPET BAG TICKET

Under the above caption, the
Birmingham Age Herald Of last
Friday says:
The utter imbscility Of the Re-
publican party Of Alabama and its
supreme unitness to administer
public affairs and the laws is we'll
illustrated by the fact that not sin
gle participant in the Montgomery
pow. WOW had ever read the constitu
tion of the state in which he
lived.
"Well may the ticket be called the
C rpet bag ticket Well may the
people laugh at this attempt to bring
back the good old days when aliens
ruled the roost."
1.-The constitution Of the State of
Alabama prescribes as qualification
70 its chief executive that he must
have been. a resident Of this State for
the seven years next proceeding the
date Of his election"
Hon Nob'e Smithson. the nominee
for Governor has not been q resident
Of Alabama for so much as f ur years
ana is thus prohibited flOm being
Governor by the plain letter Of the
fundamental law of tire land
The constitution also prescribes
that the Secretary of State must have
been resident of Alabama for FIVE
years next preceding the date of
his election. Mr.. Vernon the nom
inee Of the pow-w WOW for that office
has not been resident for 80 much
as two years."
at is needless to say that these
gentlemen would never have been
Governor and Secretary the of State,
even though without the constitution
al inhibition. But the fact that they
had not SO much as read the CO onstitu-
ton emphasize the well grounded
horror of carpet -bagism that pre-
walls in the minds Of the people"
The pow WOW will have to meet

the State whose officers it undertakes
to select, invite Messrs. Smithson

A Ma ssachus It's Ghost.
From the Philade lohta Tnaui,er

Boston, Jan. IA ghost is seriously inter
fering with traffic on the northern division of
the Old Colony railroad. Toe sc ene Of the spec
tral visitation is at High Bri lge which or lsses
the Nashua river between Clinton and Bolton
For over week plst every train passing dur.
in the night has been halted at the approach
of the bridge by bright light, which appe red
about three feet above the ties in the center of
OF the bri ge, and which would be swung to
and fro across the tracks a. q signal TO stop
Upon the approach of either the train or an in-
dividual, the light would suddenly disappear
when the intruder got within ton feet of it, IL
shed bright glare all around as the light OF an
or haary lamp would, but tn re was no lantern
about it, nor did hu nan hand hold it
IuveSti gators who lay IN wait r it saw IL
only when a train came in sight. The result is
that all trains are Indefinitely delayei at the
bridg and the trainmen are getting frightened
and want to get off nj hit runs as they fear il is
a warning. Some thousand people have seen it
and made ridiculous explanations. The COM
pany is invest eating the phenomenon TIE

Several persons have been killed on it by trains
and ghosts seem to have been common Last

ing the bridge at good Spe d, suddenly saw
from his cab the figure of a woman walking the
ties ahead of his engine. He wbistled but she
did not turn, and moment later tue engine
struck her throwing her aside She shrieked
and threw up her hands When the train hands
went back no body was found either on the
bridge or ice below, and no woman was ever
reported missing.

A Newspaper Office Romance.
Fronl &c "a. P1,A Pioneer Press.

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
All newspaper work is not either prosaic or
dramatically sensational. There are certain
sentimental episodes sandwiched in between the

the scribe turned to his work; the gentleman

sorbed in his work, the writer took no heed of
his visitor until deep sob burst from the latter.
and he was zen to be in tears. He then laid
tae paper down on the desk, opened at the two

was illustrated by two cuts-pictures of Hyde

The LADDERS Ipnorad.

The President is showing his party's
leaders that he doesn't care very much for
their good will and support. He has prac-
ticaly ignored the Illinois senators aud
representatives in making appointments in
that state and he has treated the republic
can leaders of Missouri pretty much in the
same way with respect to appointments.
The Illinois senator's are now in a fighting
mood, and they are trying to induce
their brother senators to join them in OPP
posing the confirmation of the Presidents
nominees. They won't meet with much sue
cess.
Doubtless good many of the republican
senator's would like to see the President
Inundated by having some Of his principal
nominations rejected, but they are afraid
TO place themselves in open hostility to the
administration. If they were to take that
position their chance for any more patron
age would be gone. They cannot afford to
sacrifice their own interests to help their
friends.
1t is matter of some Importance that
those who fur lished and handled the Doodle
for the last national republican campaign
have more influence with the president than
those who have splendid reco DIS r leader
ship in the Republican party. Postma ,ter
General Wana1aker and Mr. Quay are vir-
tually the bosses Of this administration. Mr..
Wanamaker, who never had ANYTHING to
90 with politics until the last national cam
paigu, raised corruption fund OF $40O, 900,
and Mr.. Quay, whose political record is
rather shady, put that fund where it would
do the most good
The man whose advice the President fol-
lowed in making the Illinois appointments
is Mr.. George NJ, Pullman. the palace car
man. He helped to raise corruption fund
of $50, 900 for use in Indiana. Thus it ap-
pears that the real leaders of the Republican
party are ignored in the matter of patron
age and that those who furnished the cam
paign Doodle are loaded with favors.
