Continuing Captain Kolb snid Colonel Oates was a candidate for governor only to use the governorshlp as stepping stone to the senate.
 Colonel Oates-That is lot true.
 Captain Kolb-Didn't you tell Frank
 O. Brien and other Johnston men at the
 Exchange hotel that you only wanted to be
 governor once and step from there to the senate?
 Colonel Oates-I said that I would be candidate for only one term. l expect then
 to run for the senate. say that now and
 here to all the people.
 Captain Kolb then explained about the
 Hoar business. He had been invited to
 Boston by the Home Market club, just as
 Henry Grady had once been invited by the
 New England society. Those New England
 people had given money to build monu-
 ment to Grady. The money they gave to
 this cause of civil liberty in Alabama is to
 a more sacred craze than 10 build monu-
 ments over any dead man. [This eloquent
 rally met no applause. Captain Kolb said
 they had received not all of the S5000, and
 wished they could get it all and more.
 The Home Market club has democrat and repub blican members.
 Here Colonel Oates interrupted to say
 that at Bangor he had merely said the fire
 that burned the Caldwell was mysterious
 'If you will permit me, though, l will ask
 if you do not sympathize with the strikers?
 Are they not your supporters? Do you
 not support their legislative ticket?'
 Captain Kolb-I suppose some of them
 are my friends. When you insinuate that
 l or my friends instigate and sympathize
 with lawlessness you do me an injustice, colonel.
 Colonel Oates-I don't insin uate; merely asked you question. Captain kolb-I will tell you privately
 the name of one of the leading corporations
 in Jefferson county that advised me to do as did in supporting the ticket h that county.
 Colonel Oates--Tell us his name.
 Captain Kolb--1 W ill privately. 1 cannot
 make it public.
 Captain Kolb alleged that republicans in Jefferson county gave thousands of dollars to the democrats in 1892 to elect their ticket. 'Mr. Cory sitting there knows it as well as do. .o Mir. Cory knowing nothing about 1t, said nothing and wrote on. | Yet they claim that we get money from a non partisan club. deny that the Mose- l ley republicans nominated me. That com dorsed you. Taking up the contest he
 made some statement about Goodwin and Governor Jones.
 yoice-I know that to be SO. Hector Laue-That's striking miner, and know him.
 Here there was little breeze of excite ment. Captain Kolb drew a picture of | Frank Pettus disfranchising the people | and declared. he had never supported the | Australian ballot system. I voted for 1 Weaver. I am proud of it. Applause. ] 1 I am proud that did not vote for Grover | Cleveland. Loud cheers l will go to | the black belt with 5O,00O majority. | iCheers.l l will go down into south Ala bama and carry your own county of 1 Henry. [Great applause | 7 Colonel Oates-I'll bet $1000 to $500 you | won't.
 Captain Kolb--I've got no money to bet. E But r Il do more than that, I'll carry your 1 home beat, Abbeville. [Great appause.l Colonel Oates (disgusted)- no you won't.
 Time was called and the debate was over The Oates people are delighted. Seven | Kolb men told Editor Rawes they were | democrats relate similar experiences. But | the whole thing was rather pity moving 1 performance.
 Captain Kolb was simply not in it at all |. 1 He is no match for Colonel Oates, who | handled him with the masterful asser- l tion of superior riding over an inferior. Sometimes it was like a lawyer badgering a helpless witness. Captain Kolb just sim ply took his medicine and showed one re- deeming feature. He was game to the last and made a fairly creditable rally on the wind up. He worried the colonel just a little when he said he was going to carry Abbevile.
 The Eolb people are complaining that af- ter the debate the democrats called out w c. Pitts and Hector D. Lane and had a
 speech from them, but there was no inten- tional violation of the courtesies of the oc-
 casion, Fitts made fine speech here in
 Athens tonight, c. c. Dr. price'S Cream Baking Powder
