TUSCALOOSA CROPS

ARE IN FINE CoNDITIoN-SIxTH CONGRESS
 sIoNAL RAcE-RELIGIoUs NOTES.
 TUsKALoosA, Sept. 12.-(Special Corre- spondence. l--Crops in this county are very fine. The cotton crop is somewhat in- jured by too much rain. The farmers are very busy gathering cotton. Some have ginned and sold nearly half their crop al- ready.
 The decision of the congressional con- vention at Guin, referring the nomination of candidate for congress to the people, September p, is eminently satisfactory to our people. Colonel Foster, our county man, of course was our first choice, but now that he is out of the race we are for Bankhead first, last and all the time.
 Our sister city across the river (North Port) is in the midst of very interesting g revival. The paster, Rev. Mr. Sanford, is assisted in the meeting by Dr. Parker from your city. Large congregations at- tend every service and much good is being done.

RUssEL's COTTON CROP

CUT SOMEWHAT SHORT BY REGENT RAINS
 PERSONAL AND RELIGIOUS.
 SEALE, Sept. 11.-[Special Correspond ence. 1.-The excessive rains have at last ceased, and for three days we have en- joyed bright, sunshiny weather. This will cause cotton to open rapidly and ena- ble the pickers to get in some good work. The rains did injure the cotton sure enough. I have seen many bolls fully ma ture, but which had never opened and which had routed, and on being pressed with the finger fell apart. One fine plant, which bore probably seventy five bolls, was found to have ten in this condition. At this rate the crop will be over one- seventh short. But will shortage be dis astrous to the farmer or beneficial? Who knows? Anyhow it Is being ginned and marketed right along now and business does seem to revive when the cotton season opens.
 Messrs. Holland and Strong are doing a fine business at their new ginnery.

BRECKENRIDGE SCORED.
THIS TIME BY LIFELONG FRIEND AND
 MINISTER.


 i FRANKFORT, Ky, Sept. 12.-The con- test for the congressional nomination in the Ashland district has reached that de- gree of intensity where adjectives fail to describe it.
 The utmost good nature has character ized the proceedings here, though all par ties have been active and all claim every thing in sight.
 The sensation of the past twenty four hours was the speech Monday night of Rev. R. L. McReady of Grace Episcopal church. He has heen a lifelong friend and admirer of Colonel Breckinridge, but says that he can follow him no longer. He denounced his cause before the political meeting in burning language. He said in substance that he had heard Colonel Breck- inridge speak at the unveiling of the mon- ument erected to the confederate veterans at Lexington, when he pointed to the newly made grave of his Wife, and paying her memory touching tribute. said all his hopes lay buried there. According to his own con fession, said the minister, he was then carrying on his shameless intercourse with the Pollard woman.

HIS HOLINESS DEPENDED.
HIS ACTION RELATIVE TO APPoINTME EHTs
 UPHELD BY THE PRESS.

UPHELD BY THE PRESS.
 ROME, Sept. 12.-The Ossorvatore Romano Apropris, speaking of fhe re. ported reproachment between the Vatican and the Quirnal, declares that it sees no sufficient reason for such an assumption. The clamors of the liberal press are based upon two facts, both of purely religious character, relating to the establishment of an apostolic prefecture in Massowah and the royal assent to the appointment of Cardinal Sarto, the pope's nominee, as patriarch of Venice.
 The paper declines to admit the deduc- tions which the journals draw from these incidents. The establishment of an apos- tolic prefecture In Massowah is within the range of the habitual solicitude of the Holy See and the pope need not be cred ited with having any political object ln creating it. He was simply moved to the act in obedience to the spiritual interests of the Italian oolonists.
 In regard to the patriarch of Venice, there was no reason to believe that the Holy See had abandoned it's original posi- tion, but rather that the Italian govern ment had finally submitted to the senti- ments of justice and the persistent demands of the Venetian Catholics.
