AlAsAMAs ELECTION.
Democrats Gain ON STATE Ticket, but Leg
ts1atnre Close ana poubtful.

BIRMNGHAM. Ala, Aug. 7.--Incom-
plete returns from various parts Of
the state indicate that In south and mid
die Alabama, the Democrats have made
substantial gains in every county except
Mobile, where the vote was light, the
city OF Mobile giving only 700 Demo-
cratic majority. Montgomery, Selma.
Eufala and Birmingham, in fact all
larger towns, give Democratic majori-
ties.
The country districts were Kolb's
strongholds, and In north Alabama, ex-
cept IN the counties of Limestone, Madi-
son, Lamar, Tuscaloosa and Etowah he
got the same vote as IN 1892, but in
Jefferson his vote shows heavy in
crease.
To sum up the relative result in north
Alabama is abont the same on the whole
as it was two years ago, while the Dem
ocrats show gains in all other sections
of the state. This gives Oates q major
ity of from 1S, 600 to 20, 600.
The legislature is close and doubtful.

The question has recently come up
relative to the propriety Of billing
potatoes during the early period Of
their growth, and time European
writer's have recommended the
practice, stating as reason that IL
protects tho tubers from the SUMS
rays as in their growth they are
crowded upwards There is do
doubt that billing will protect them
from the sunlight when the planting
is quite shallow. SO that the forming
tubers must necessarily have a thin
layer OF earth above them. But II
they are planted deep enough, OF

with a depth OF only three inches Ia
one portion OF the field and five
inches in another. and ia a deep.
well pulyerized soil, the crop IN tho
deep planted part was between ten
and twenty per cent greater than the
shallow portion Other planters
within our knowledge have made
similar trials, with like results.

We were always more than glad to
see the cavalry around, and have them
along, especially in the trout and on
the TANKS, and ON picket around our
camp of nights, and l have seen the
time, in tight place, when | could
have kissed the very skirts of their
saddles; still, there never was that
close, mutual intimacy existing be-
tween an infantry regiment and cav
airy regiment as between infantry
regiments. The latter pulled along
the line of march on foot together,
camped together and in battle fought
shoulder to shoulder together, through
all the battle shared common dan
ger and faced common foe; while
cavalry was transitory, passed us on
the line of march, splashed mud upon
us, and galloped ON. Also, the cavalry
camp was always away off somewhere
to itself, and in a battle they would
get in their work and light out to
some other part of the line or the
field and leave the infantry TO settle
it. They could not stay with us.
Then, again, we were not well ac-
quainted with cavalrymen; seldom
knew who they were when we saw
them, and were often no wiser by ask
ing them who they were. l remember
