THAT GERRYM ANDER.
A Perfect Failure.
From Selma State Republican.

FROM selma Stabe bepuDicdA
The democratic Legislature of Ala
bama has gerrymande the state 50 as
to apparently wipe out 20 600
majority in the Black Belt; but Inc
stead of giving the. Negro one dis
trict the Negroes now have four dis
tricts, and if they can unite with a
small faction Of the whites can ceD..
tral six out of the nine.
HERE ARE THE FIGURES.
The first district is composed of the
counties Of Maringo. Washington,
Choctaw. Clarke, Monroe, and Mo-
bile The population Of the whites
is &C, 730, while the Colored popula-
ton S5.613; thus giving the district
t, the Negro by majority of 49,.
SS3. To this we can add 500 white
Republican votes, and the democrat
have no show in the first district.
THE 2ND DISTRICT
Is composed of Montgomery, Pike,
Crenshaw, Covington. Blu ler, Con-
ecuh, Escambia Baldwin and wilcox
with a whito population Of S5,889,
Negroes 102, $50, with a majority Of
is, 6,191.
THE 3RD DISTRICT.
Is composed of Lee, Russell, Bull
lock, Barbour, Dol, Henry, Coffee
and Geneva, has S3, 800 whites and
93,772 Negroes with majority of
1872
| THE 9TH DISTRICT
Has a smaller Negro majority but
when we consider that all the Ne
groes will vote the Republican tick
ct, and that there are several thous-
and white. Republicans in this dis
trict there is no doubt about the Re-
pub leans controlling there.
| THE 4TH DISTRICT.
Has been made to stretch from
central Alabama to North Western
Ga, without effect. 1t is true the
4th district, SO far as the democrats
are concerned. has had a hard time of
it. To face a twenty thousand Ne
gro majority was not all they had to
do. They had to pay Negroes for
promised treachery and that too at a
high price. To let them submit to
this kind of stuff was wrong on the
democracy OF Alabama, and so the
State came to relief of the 4th to a
litateDafIas county 7 can poll six thou
sand and more Republican than DEM
ocratic votes. that Chiffon though a
white county will poll 40 Republi~
can votes out Of few hundred
Shelby county on fair count, Re
publican; Calhoun nearly so, and
Cleburne only second majority, and
we venture to say the 4th can yet 60
Republican by good majority.
The thing to fear is division of
the vote. If the party will do away
with these soape goats who are tra-
ders with the democrats we can get
good delegation in Congress from
Alabama. The Republicans of Il e
First district need to adjust their
difficulties. The factions must come
together and make formaadble wall
against dem ocracy. The rank and
file of the Republicans should de-
mand that the leade 5 get together or
relegate the head of he faction to
obscu y. The Repub lean party
cannot afford to let these men keep
the party divided, and what is more
they will not. We must elect four
Republicans from Alabama for the
52nd Congress and we should strike
the iron while it is hot.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand acres of
land in the heart of Tehama County. for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality. and is offered
at from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions
OF 40, so, 40, l6o and32o acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated by the pay
ment OF interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which
to pay five equal annual installments with
Interest at the rate of per cent. per annum
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at 81 O per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming and es-
pecialy adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had i'll California for less than from $50 to
$100 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre. on terms
OF payment which should make the disposi-
ton of these lands to actual settlers q result
easy of Accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its settle
ment in smaller quantities and its devotion to
diligent husbandry.

The Curious Tale of the Old Year, the
New Near and the Ghosts.
1t was nearly midnight when gray,
bent, haldheaded, full whiskered old man
met a brisk, fresh checked boy at The
Parting of the Ways. The paths were
separated by chasm, which marked on
one side the end of the ancient's journey
and on the other the beginning of the lads
Gayly the youngster called out:

At that instant distant bell tolled the
first stroke of midnight.
Come on, YOU scoundrels," yelled the
Crsybeard, and AT the command there
trooped to the front Il strange and i'll as
sorted group. The old man seized the
leader who looked like a half consumed
cigarette, and cast him into the gulf with
"A howl of maniacal delight The next one
hurled over had the form Of a pipe, and he
was succeeded by chunky little fellow

Then they all joined hands and hoped

fact that Russia contributed largely to
