Lower House Passes a Bill
Covering His Case.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. "a bill was to-
day passed by the lower house of the state
assembly making it unlawful for any
man to take the oath of Office for any po-
stion to which he has not been declared
elected by the body legally empowered to
make the declaration, or to call upon any
body to assist him in such a step. or for
.any person to give assistance or for
any person to issue any address assuming
such a position.
The penalty provided is a fine of not less
than $500 nor more than $4,000 and impris-
.onment in the penitentiary for not more
than twenty-five years. The vote on the
bill was so to so. The populists voted SOL
idly against it.
The bill now goes to the upper house and
there is little doubt of its prompt passage
there 1t will probably be a law by Sat
urday. This will put a stop-t to all of Kolb's
absurd performances, which have been
Exaggerated and misunderstood in some
parts of the country. AS a matter of
course, the bill will not affect Kolb's
actions up to the time of its becoming a
law, but will put quietus upon his future
actions

She called her children into the dining

She replied that she was giving the chill

and glass and gave him other wine. He
noticed this, but paid no attention to the
matter at the time, and when one of the
children said that its mother had put
poison in the wine he said no, that the
wine was all right. and went back to the
shop.
After her father had gone out. the same
child told its mother she had poisoned
them, but she denied it and sent the chill

They started to obey, but before they
could get to bed they were attacked with
cramps and their cries brought their
father to the scene. When he saw the
condition of the children he asked his
wife, who was sitting with her hands fold

suffering of the children what was
the matter. She replied that she
had put morphine into the wine. as
she wanted to kill them and herself but
that his coming in had prevented her
from taking any of the poisoned wine.

aERMANY's CUSTOMS WAR.
The Fatherland Retaliating for Our
Tariff on Beet Sugar.

Washington, Dec. 5.--Indications seem
to multiply of a determined purpose on
the part of Germany, openly or by indi-
rection, to interpose obstacles in the way
of importation of American products into
Germany, so long as the discriminating
duty against German beet sugar is i'm
posed by the existing new tariff law is
maintained. First, on a pretext of the
transmission of Texas fever, proved to be
impossible, the importation of live cattle
from the United States to Germany was
prohibited. Next, restrictions were placed
upon American canned goods. Then a
commission was appointed to investigate
whether American cotton could not be
supplanted by other kinds for German
manufacture. Now the department Of
state has been notified through its con-
sular representative at Bremen of pro-
posed change in the German customs
tariff by which the duty on cotton seed
oil will be increased $50 per cent. over the
present rates.
Among the many additions to existing
duties, this seems to be the most import
ant, and it is said to meet the wishes, not
only of the protectionist oil manufactu-
rers of Germany, but of the agrarian's
as well. The present duty on American
cotton seed oil is four marks ($1), and it
is to be raised to ten marks If, however,
the imported cotton seed oil is to be used
for soap, it may be officially drugged until
unfit for food when it is to be admitted
at the rate of s. cents.

CIV. OATES SENDS IN A MESSAGE.
q. Makes Number of Important Leg
fslative Recommendations.


,r,ntgomery, Ala, Dec. 5-Gov. Oates
a long message TO the assembly to-
s.v It's chief feature is the urging Of an
crease in the tax rate Of half a mill and
=. i,nnrovement Of the assessment laws.
Ne also advises that the present move
..rr 10 take the convicts out of the mines
- rbacled so as to make them self-sus-
aiming: that the number of judicial cir
lis be increased so as. to expedite the ad-
S-.nistration of justice as a check TO
i,-Tchings: the making a felony of carry
a. concealed weapons in order TO sup
rrsss that practice.
f'pseause of the repeal Of the federal
sle,rion laws, he advises the abolition OF
tba present separation OF state and feder-
al elections.
contests for state offices be passed, which
i in accord with the populite demands.
In the light of the probable repeal of the
state bank tax by congress. he suggests
~ enactment of a state banking law
based on the deposit with the state treas
r-er Of solvent federal, state, county or
municipal bonds.
The other features of the message are
of minor Importance. The one that ex-
cires the most comment is the recon-
nendation OF a contest law. The bulk of
opinion in the past has been against such
an enactment, as was demonstrated by the
failure of the assembly two years ago, to
adopt similar recommendation by Gov.
ZONES. The position of Gov. Oates oppo-
nent is that only the assembly. as at pres
ent. should be charged with the power of
going into a matter of such great magni-
tude and concern as a contest for a state
office. and that any statutory regulation
would put a premium on such undertake
ings and lead to chaos, as in West Vir-
einia some years ago.

recently addressed letter of inquiry to a
large number of country bankers scattered
through the entire south, from Maryland

Probably the most comprehensive sur
vey of the entire situation is given by ID.
A. Tompkins of Charlotte, who for some
years. has given close study to cotton rails
ing and cotton manufacturing Mr.. Temp
kins claims that the south must learn to
raise cotton at cents a pound, and that
the future prosperity of the cotton inter-
ests is based upon the south's ability to
raise large crops at low prices. There is,
he says revolution in progress which is
resulting in a change from the old planter
system to modern farming. that in place
Of large plantations devoted wholly to cot
ton, there is coming an era of smaller
farms devoted to diversified agriculture.
Under this change, and when it is more
thoroughly completed than at present, cot
ton even at cents a pound will, Mr..
4OilpNihS SdyS' prove the AhoSN lIOltdDtS
agricultural product in the world. While
the change is going on there must reces-
sarily be some suffering, as is true In all
revolutionary changes. and the fismers
who have not adapted themselves to the
new situation will find their business I'M
profitable; but the progressive farmer
who has adopted the new method and who
raises his own food stuffs will prosper.

farmer for raising cotton is proving a fail
