Negroes Going to Africa.

A special dispatch from Memphis

Of the South, principally those in Ar

groes in that neighborhood are sacri-
ficing what little property they have
with the intention of going to the dark
continent. One car load has passed
through Brinkley en- route for New
York, whence they intend to sail for
their unlimited destination. 1t seems
rs if the scheme had been worked up

Date of state Convention Fixed.

The Democratic executive commit
tee of Alabama, met in Montgomery
on Monday last and ordered that the
next State Convention, when candi-
dates for Governor and State house
officers be nominated, be held on
Tuesday, May 22nd at Mont
gomery. The basis of represent
alton was one delegate for evary 5000
population. This will make SOL
delegates for the State. A new move
ment suggested in the last campaign
was to have day fixed for beat meet
ings or primary elections throughout
the state and another date for county
conventions. This matter after being
pretty freely discussed, was adopted,
and on the 18th day of May every
beat i'll the state will select delegates
to county conventions, and on the
10th uay of May there will be sixty
SIX county conventions grinding in Ala
bama, nominating legislative candi.
dates and instructing delegates to the
state convention how to vote for gov
ernor. While in the date fixing bust
ness the committee decided to fix a
date for the beat meetings of prima-
rles to select delegates to congression-
al convention. and on The 25th of Au-
gust every beat in Alabama will be
engaged in selecting delegates to the
congressional convention, and on Sep
TENDER 4th there will be nine con-
gressional conventions in full blast.

A Berlin letter to the Chicago Time

A Berlin letter to the Chicago Times
says that: "The Germans, who are
now the keenest competitors of the
English in the markets of the world,
IRE busy preparing to reap the harvest
of the splendid success they have
achieved at Chicago. The Imperial
Gazette has published the long list,
covering two entire sheets, OF the l ,946
prizes bestowed upon German exhibits
at the Worlds Fair. The designation
made in Germany can no longer be
deemed term of reproach when nearly
one-third of the awards distributed
among the sixty eight countries exhib-
iting at Chicago has been secured by
Germany alone. Indeed, complaints
have already been made here that the
Americans themselves are beginning
to stamp their own goods with that
designation in order to supply more
readily the great demand for German
products.
