The Fight in Alabama.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. S.-Sec.
rotary Delemos, of the Alabama
Republican Campaign committee
has issued a call for a meeting OF
his committee in this city today
The call indicates that there will
be a Republican ticket in the State
elections in August. This is re-
ported to be the desire of the
friends Of Reed and Mckinley, SO
that the organization may be held
in tact for the national contest.
1t is announced that the Kolbites
will meet today and name Captain
Kolb as their candidate for Govern.
or. The contest in this state pre-
sents the most peculiar phases OF
any campaign that has occurred in
the South for many years. 1t is a
fight outside of the Democratic
party lines, and the opponents are
The regular Democratic organiza.
ton, on the one side, and the disaf-
fected Democrats, led by Captain
r. F. Kolb, who bolted the par
ty in 1892, and has since been
joined by the Peoples party,
and many white Republicans, on
the other side. The history OF the
split of the Democratic party in
this state is well known. Its be-
ginning was with the Farmers
Alliance movement in 1890, when
Kolb was the Observation-Disclosures
candidate for Governor. He lacked
ten votes of securing the nomina-
ton, and was prevented from get
ting it only by combination of
all the other candidates, which re-
suited in Governor Jones' nomina-
ton. Kolb was a candidate again
in 1892, but when the state Demo-
cratic convention met he and his de-
legates bolted. They formed what
they term the Jeffersonian Demo-
cratic party, which nominated him
and a full state ticket. A bitter
campaign followed. Governor
Jones defeated Kolb at the polls
by only II, 900 majority, the small
est ever secured by the regular
Democratic nominee in this state.
Kolb charged fraud and endeav-
ored to get the Legislature to en-
terrain a contest for the govern
or's office. The Legislature refused.
The regular Democracy will not
meet till May %, when Congress
man Gates may be its nominee.

Does Louisiana Demand Protective
TARIFF

In the February issue Of Blue
and Gray, a southern contributor,
writing on the great sugar industry
of Louisiana, uses the following
significant words, which indicate
disposition to join with the manu-
facturers of the north in demand
ing tariff prOteCtion:-
In the divine economy OF crea-
ton, each creature has some allot-
ted duty to perform failing to find
and fulfill this appointed place and
mission, wasted existence must
be acknowledged. So, in this great
sisterhood of states, each has her
part in working out the destiny
of the nation and of minis
tering to the needs Of our great
community. The warm, rich soil
of Louisiana has given the "Peli-
can State" natural supremacy in
the sugar industry, and pride for
this distinction should be shared
by her eastern, northern and west
ern sisters, whose energies are best
applied to the production Of
wheat, rye, barley, lumber, cattle
and manufactured goods.
This great country Of ours is
capable of producing almost every
thing required by man, and we
should all stand in mutual sup
port of our various pet industries,
so that within our own borders,
from sea to sea our natural nation
al resources may be fully and
equally developed.

follows:
Ben S. Rogers, Brenham, grand

lures of the session was the eXem-
plification of the encampment
work in its dramatiZed form by
the members Of Ridgely Encamp-

with them a car load of scenery for
this purpose. The spectacular rep
resentation was very vivid, and
gave such a realistic idea Of the
symbolism of the order as could
not otherwise have been gained.
The presentation was as pleasing
to the eye as it was instructive to
the mind.
At intervals during the encamp-
ment, the visitors were royalty en-
tertained by the Waco residents.

ment gave an exhibition, and the

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
A Young Man injured in Another
Runaway Horror.


Today one-horse express wagon
was approaching thu corner OF
Salinas and Acequia streets, and
an electric car coming the opposite
way.The express wagon was driven
by boy about twelve years old.
The horse began to shy but the car
kept steadily approaching; the
horse finally broke the harness and
started in mad fright around the
corner, upsetting the wagon and
throwing the child to the sidewalk.
Fortunately the child was
not seriously hurt. The
car went on it's way
without a halt or stop. This is a
sample of the whole business;
Acequia, Soledad and North Flores
streets are choked with the electric
railway; the death-dealing trolley
swings overhead, while the swift
moving car, with it's terrifying
noise, changing gong, and flashing
lights, terrorizes the passengers on
foot or in the carriages. The cars
have to make time, and they never
give way to the public. One Of
these streets should be relieved Of
its nuisance. The public should be
allowed one avenue to reach the
business center from the Fourth
ward.

On many farms there are meadows

it yield profitable crop. now know
that a coating of manure will do it.

the manure was from the sheep stables
it was impossible to get it evenly and

not a little grass seed which l think
contributed not little to thickening
the meadow, but other trials with other
classes of manure prove that the ma

more money this year for the same
weight of pork than it brought last

IF you have made the pigs grow we'll
over winter kill them this spring and
start with more growers. Young pork
chould bring good price. and there is
more money in growing your pork than
in making it on corn

makes the milk unfit for butter or

mits this may have his own taste so
blunted as to fail to recognize the flavor

so sensitive to the favors of the food

This applies to the feeding of pigs for
pork. Boiled potatoes and barley meal

mast of chestnut and oak forests gives
a peculiar flavor to the meat that some
persons think very desirable. Pea-fed
pork is harder than that fed on corn,
while that made from the mast of the
beech or from other oily nuts is soft

Milk-fed pork is white. but hard and
dry. The milk should be fed with
buckwheat bran or meal to avoid this
hardness of the lean meat But the
flesh of pigs fed on clover pasture
through the summer and fatted on
mixed oats and peas for four weeks
after leaving the pasture will be found
excellent in every way and distinctly

intermixed. This is the perfection of
