 OXFORD, Sept. 26.-[Special Correspond ence. 1-The quantity of cotton bTUGEht into our town is gradually increasing As the fall season progresses. The prevailing prices range from 5b 10 cents, but this is not so bad for the fai mers as it may at first appear, for it is well-known fact that the necessary things of life were never cheaper than they are at the present time.
 The corn crop is reported as the best for many years, and this, with the abundant sorghum crop, is enough to make the 'ehorny- banded sons of toll'' thank God and take courage for the future. MT. w. M. Pierson, than whom no one has been more popular in Oxford for many months past, leaves tonight for Missouri, where he will again resume his work as railroad employe.
 Frank Sheppard, recently from Tate Springs, is stopping in Oxford for few days. lie is much improved in health, and thinks of going to the far west in the near future.
 Misses Ada and Ella McRae of Birming- ham and Miss Georgia Pope of Wilsonville are visiting tue family of Mrs. H. E. Pope of this place.
 Miss julia McMilan of Talladega is vis- iting the Misses Robertson.
 MT. and Mrs. s. w. Crook of Anniston and Mrs. w. w. Whiteside of Oxford leave tomorrow for eastern Pennsylvania, where they will visit Mrs. J. M. Ragan. Before returning the party will spend few days at New York, Washington and Nash-> vile.

Robbins being the lucky man, but at present Call houn has strong candidate In the person of Col J. M. Caldwell, who would be an honor to the Fourth and the whole state of Alabama as well, in case he is sent to Washiugton.

 1. That we engage the largest Hall in New York city and give boxing exhfpi- tion, four rounds scientific points only, for the benefit of the poor of New York cityS I will give you any pledge that you may demand that will not attempt to knock you out. h case competent judges decide that am not in your class, so far as skill and science are concerned, will never ask for match with you again.
 2. ask to be allowed to formally chal- lenge you to give me chance to meet you to a finish to decide the worlds champion ship, according to Marquis of Queensbury rules.

No Law Authorizing the Payment Oh
Sugar Bounty and Inspection OF
Plants, is, Therefore, Unnecessary.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Secretary Carlisle
and Internal Commissioner Miller today
by Assistant Attorney General Whitney,
filed in the supreme court of the District
of Columbia their answer to the applica-
ton of the Miles Planting and Manufac-
turing company, of Louisiana, for writ
of mandamus to compel the respondents
to resume and continue the official in
spection of cane sugar production. Inc
respondents aver there is no law OF the
United States authorizing the perform
ance of the acts asked for; that there is
no appropriation from which the expense
of such inspection can be paid, and that
there is no United States law authorlz-
ing the payment of money bounty to the
petitioner and, therefore, an inspection OF
sugar manufactured would be a useless
expense.
1t is further contended that the acts
asked for in the petition are executive
and not ministerial in character; that
the respondents are charged as part OF
their official duty with the construction
so given by them and it is not renewable
by any court upon application for a writ
of mandamus; that the secretary of the
treasury is also charged, as part of his
official duty with the responsibility of
constituting the appropriation acts of Con-
gresS, and so marShaling the moneys ap-
propriated that the government of the
United States may be properly carried on,
and that the construction so given and
monetary arrangements so made by him
are not renewable by any court upon
application for a writ of mandamus.
Oral arguments on the application for
a writ of mandamuS will be heard by the
court next Thursday.

Knocked Out the Romance.

San Francisco, Oct. 2.-"Jack' Day,
student of Columbia college, New York,
and j. H Nicoll, student of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, have arrived
in San Francisco on the American ship
Benjamin F. Packard. This afternoon
they went before the United States
shipping commissioner and told story
of alleged mistreatment at the hands
of Captain Allen, to whom, they say,
they paid S10O each to be taken on
board the ship as apprentices. They
claim they were treated as common
seamen before the mast and that in
addition to this they were but half fed
Old seamen who heard their yarn, how
ever, were inclined to believe that it
was simply another case in which ac-
tual experience had knocked all the
romance and glamour out of sea life
as it appeals to the youthful imagina-
ton. The discouraged youths have
found solace, however. When the Pack
ard arrived from New York Day found
that his parents had been here six
weeks waiting for him. He is now en-
route to New York. Nicoll has receiv-

will take in the sights of California be-

Pocatello, Oct. -TSpecial.l-Ex
Governor Stevenson and Hon. James
B. Hawley delivered telling speeches
here tonight to large and attentive
audience in the opera house. The
stage in front was a mass of flow
ers and the Gate City band was in at
tendance.
Mr.. Hawley handled the tariff ques-
tion in manner that made willing
converts to Democracy as the party OF
the people, while Stevenson made en-
dnently clear how the present state adj
ministration was unjustly taxing the
people to maintain offices that had
been established without warrant OF
law, and offices so created had been
for Republican officeholders solely; how
the rate of taxation had gone up from
35 cents to IS cents on the hundred dol
lars, and bankruptcy awaited the
Estate if other and heroic measures
\ were not taken.
~ Alturas county Democrats and Re-
publicans have fused, and that against
the wishes of the Democratic state
central committee, and all candidates
on the Democratic state ticket as well.
The deal, as consummated, was with
out warrant from the mass of Demo
Gratis in that county, and the Republi-
cans will not profit in consequence.
Stevenson and Hawley speak at
Blackfoot tomorrow evening, and Ida
ho Falls Thursday evening.
The Bannock Democratic county COM
mittee have sent an elaborate and
pressing invitation for Hon. j. L. Raw
Inns to make a speech in Idaho at Poca-
tello, and the state central committee
seconded the invitation.
Idaho clamors for the Utah delegate
to make them speech.
