Of cotton seed were destroyed.
It is said that Benton McMillin
would rather be Chairman of the
WAYS and Means in the next Con-
gress than speaker of the House. The
reason assigned is that IA chairman
of this committee he would give his
name to the reform tariff bill which
the Democrats will pass when they
cone into fun power. This would
make his name household word
throughout the nation and he would
be remembered long after the name
Of Mr.. Speaker McMillin had faded
TFom memory.
The Alliance has split into two dis
tinct factions. One of them will go
straight over TO the Third party with

late the cotton crop or the South.

CRUEL ETHELRIDA.
Why 1t Was That John Fled Away In the
Night.

Why 1t Was That John Fled Away in the
Night.
He was plain John Smith.
She was the beautiful and cultivated
Ethelrida Martingale.
But what mattered that to him; he
loved her.
Love is the great leveler.
Not that it had leveled the sweet, pale
Ethelrida exactly, for it had not; but it
had knocked John out fat.
Happy Ethelrida, for she had the bulge
on him.
1t is ever thus.
In loves sandwiches one piece Of bread
will always have more butter on it than
the other will.
Yet Ethelrida was not cruel, and she
did not long to let him drop hard enough
to cripple him for life.
On the contrary, she sought to let him
down on silver strands to beds of thorn
less roses.
But John wouldn't have it.
Nor is our hero the only man built
that way.
Heloves but little or not at all,
Who fears the dumpness of his fall.
That was John Smith all over, and
still John was no SLOUGH, as the word
goes.
Ethelrida knew what was coming, but
she was powerless to prevent it, unless
she took an ak to John, and she hesitated
to resort to harsh measures.
Woman's nature is ever gentle.
1t was a calm and beautiful Sabbath
evening when John called for the last
time.
i love you, Ethelrida," he whispered,
low and lisping. at about II o'clock, land
want you for my wife"
1t was then apparent to Ethelrida that
MIR. Smith meant business.
1T cannot be, l fear" she replied,
standing him off. Papa is unutterably
opposed to our union, and he has said he
will lock me in my room and keep me
there if l persist i'll seeing you"
That was tip John should have acted
upon-that and the palable fact that
Ethelrida did not rush to his throbbing
bosom like an uudammed torrent when
he had so Enthusiastically blazed the way
for her
Love laughs at lockslniths," he said
courageously, ignoring the surface indi-
cations.
Again was the fair girl baked in her
ganerons purpose. and there came into
her face the hard, cold lines of resolution
and into her eyes the cruel CLINT of JUS
tice, long deferred.
''Yes. and at John Smiths" she added,
a naive simplicity scarcely corcealing
the edge of the sword.
And John fled away into the misty,
murly darkness of unforgetable disap-
pointment.-Detroit Free Press.

for oat crops next spring by simply

great advantage to put oats in early,
and by this means you can often ac-
cOmplish the seeding a week earlier
than if compelled to wait for the
ground to dry sufficiently to permit

the soil finely three or four inches in

Why is it that nearly all the bust
ness men OF Alabama are united in n
herculean effort to defeat the farmers
in their efforts for relief Why is 1t
that those engaged in businesses d.
rectly dependent upon the success OF
agriculture, are in this combination,
contributing money, labor and untir-
ing energy to assure defeat Of all the
plans undertaken by the farmers for
relief? 1t can not be possible that all
these people are ignorant OF the fact
that upon the prosperity OF agriculture
depends their. thrift aDd success. 1t
may be that they ascribe their present
unfavorable prospects to some other
cause, and the reason they pursue the
course they follow, is because they do
not understand the problems as those
who have studied it more closely and
comprehend all its details; but what
ever may be the cause certain it
is that they are acting contrary to
their own interest and seeking to
damage themselves by upholding the
present systems which are dragging
all to the same vortex of bankruptcy
and ruin In some instances. inves-
tigation of the causes and efforts 10
reach a satisfactory solution OF the
problems have made them more con-
siderate, and 10 few instances in
accord with the plans, purposes and
objects Of the farmers. But it would
seem a difficult problem for them
to answer the question: Why is it
that a class dependent absolutely
upon the prosperity OF another class
for success, should exert all their
power and influence TO defeat and
thwart all efforts for relief, when the
rslief sought would inure as much TO
their benefit as to the producers and
laborers who seek it Alliance Her
