ALABAMA's CAMPAIGN.
The Democratic State Convention to
be Held May %.


Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 22.-The demo-
cratic state executive committee met in
this city to-day to name the date for hold
ing the state convention and to apportion
the delegates among the different coun-
ties.
The last state convention adopted the
population basis instead of the voting
basis, as had before been the custom. The
executive committee fixed the proportion
at one delegate for each 5000 popula-
ton and one delegate for each
fraction of 1900 This will give con-
vention of something over 800 delegates.
The state convention is to be held on
May ~ in Montgomery The beat meet
ings throughout the state were ordered
for May IL and county conventions on
May 16.
An effort was made by Mr.. Burgess, of
Mobile, TO have the convention held in
Birmingham, but this was voted down
by 10 to 5. No proposition of any kind
was submitted TO the committee by the
Kolbites or any other party, nor was any
attempt made to change the qualifications
.of the participants in the party primary.
The committee adopted a reso-
luton providing that no selec-
ton of delegates to CON
gressional conventions should be had
until after the state elections in August
it is generally understood, is to
shut off trading with the Kolb-
ties by congressman who are inclined
TO use this method in order to be re-
turned. In other words, after the state
elections are over the straights will know
where to place their men by the kind of
work they did during the state campaign.

Douglas, Ga, Jan. 22.-Owing to the alb
sence of Presiding Elder Stubs, the
quarterly conference for the Douglas cir
cult of the Methodist Episcopal church
closed here yesterday, after a mastery
sermon delivered by Rev. j. M Wilcox
ON the wave of crime and bloodshed that
has passed over this county within the
past twelve months, and how to remedy
1t. At the conclusion, Rev. w. J. Elan
ders asked all who were willing to aid the
officers in the suppression of crime to
stand up. Every man in the vast assem-
bly, arose.
All the ministers of the county have
asked all law-abiding citizens to meet
them at the Methodist Episcopal church
here on the first Monday in March to
effect plans to stop crime.
Rev. c. w. Intinger, who has charge OF
the county blood hounds, is also clerk of
the court of ordinary, in addition to his
other Offices The ordinary lives about
seventeen miles from the court house, and
Mr.. Infnger was called away with the

George w. Deem, an influential turpen-
tine operator, had to send important
papers fourteen miles from his place here
twice in the day, and once at O'Clock in
the night, before he could get them prop
erly signed. This will cause another

MEMPHIS BIG COTTON FIRE.
One Phase of the Litigation Growing
Out of It Decided.

Washington, Jan. 22.-One phase of a
complicated litigation growing out of q
cotton confagratiOn in Memphis on the
night of Nov. II, 1887, when $4,000 bales,
valued at 500, 600, were destroyed in the
west navy yard compress of the Memphis
Cotton Press and Storage Company, was
ended by decision of the supreme court
of the United States to-day. There were
seven cases. in all, disposed of by the
judgment. They were suits originally
filed in the Shelby county, TENNESSEE,
chancery court, the parties being a mum
Der of insurance companies and the cotton
press company on one side, and the Insur-
ance Company of North America of Phil
adelphia on the other.
The plaintiffs asked to have the cases
transferred TO the circuit court of the
United States for the Western District of
Tennessee, which was denied The
supreme court of Tennessee affirmed the
ruling of the county court, and the plain
titfs brought the cases to the supreme
court of the United States. Besides the
question of Jurisdiction involved, the ap-
pellants also raised the question whether
or not certain alleged special rates, re-
bates and drawbacks allowed the re-
ceivers of the Cairo, Vincennes and
Chicago railroad to a firm whose cotton
was destroyed in the fire was
not such violation OF the inter
state commerce act as TO invalidate
the bills of lading issued for that cotton
and prevent recovery thereon against the
carrier. After fully presenting the facts
In the case, Justice jackson said the court
was of the opinion that the cases should
not have been transferred from the fed
eral courts that the evidence failed to
establish the claim that special rates, re-
bates and draw backs had been allowed,
and that If they had been so made there
is nothing In the interstate commerce act
which vitiates bills of lading. The judg-
