A CARD,

In justice to my colleagues and myself desire 10 say that whenever in the Judg- meut of our constituents any measure in- trod uced by either is considered obnoxious or hurtful, communications addressed 10 us should be signed by the party comp plain ing and not signed anonymously like the sample.
 On this line respectfully inform the gen. temeu who addressed and mailed letters to me from Powderly and Jonesboro, signed s'Farmer' and "Voter,' that no such provision occurs in the mlue law ln- troduced by me, as stated in above com- munieation. Section N, rule l, reads as follows: That no unauthorized person shall enter the mine without permission from the superintendent or mine foreman. Rule 2: No person in a stale of into x- about the mine.
 Iris fair to assume that "Farmer' or "Voter," if engaged in the handling of farm products, would have no desire to enter any mine for the purpose of dispos- ing of their "garden truck" Should the mine be one of the many generating ex- plosive gases they would endanger their own lives, to say nothing of the lives of the many men engaged in said mine, there- fore no objection can be raised to rule of section 27.
 Rule prohibits persons under the influ- ence or intoxcants from going into or loitering around the mine. "Farmero and tVotero should favor rule 2 for the reason that persons under the influence Of intoxicants are not in condition to trans- act business of any kind or character. Re- spectfuliy, FRANK P. O'BRIEN.

 PowDERLY, Nov. 24, 1894. Hon. F. P. 'Brien, Montgomery, Ala.-
 DEAR SIR: 1 see you have introduced bill in the legislature, not allowing any unauthorized person around any mines. This is just what the mine owners want. It will stop all truck farmers from peddiing in their camp. What is brought in camp will have to be sold to the commissaries. think il your bill becomes law it will ruin the truck farmers in this part of Jef- ferson county. I hope you will amend your bill so it will not prevent farmers from selling produce in their camps. The farmers look to you as one of their main friends. A FARMER.
