TnAT CONFERENCE POSTPONED.

THAT CONFERENCE POSTPONED.
 The conference between railroad officials and the Commercial Club committee has been postponed until Wednesday, Septem- Der 5. This action was taken to give some of the traffic managers who are attending the Southern Railway and Steamship Asso- citation, now in session at Coney Island, an opportunity to atten d this meeting, which tkey would be unable to do if held on the 2eth instant. On the above named date it is believed that much nearer general att tendance of all desired can be had than is now possible if held next Wednesday, and hence the postponement is announced.
 Our business men generally are taking great interest in this conference, and are looking forward to it aH an event certain to mark new era in our citys growth. The various matters to be brought before this conference will satisfy any set of business men that Birmingham's possibilities have been sadly overlooked, and their develop ment can but follow the cooperation that the railroads will be asked to give the Con- mercial Club in its efforts in that direction.

KENNEDY CULLINGS,

KENNEDY, Aug. 23.-tSpecial Core, spondence. 1-Yesterday aud today we have had fine rains, and, while they were much needed, we are now anxious for 'sOld Soi' to show his face again, as thousands of bundles of fodder are hanging iu the fields, and if not soon dried will be lost. Corn Is fine in this sec;ion--the best crop in years. Cotton is doing very we'll, but not so we'll advanced as is usual at this time of the year.
 Dr. Baird has just closed an interesting and well-attended series of meetings at the Baptist church. There were three addi. tions to the church. The protracted meet ings at the country churches in this vicin- ity have been unusually successful.

as much as possible, while the Populists clamor for cheap dollar and plenty of them. In fact, the POpulists don't seem inclined to coalesce. They prefer to run their own machine. They have shown this inclination in Alabama, in Tennessee, in Virginia, in Kansas, and in other States. They boastfully assert that they will sweep the country in November. In 1892 they cast over 1,000,000 votes for have three Senators and eight Representa- tives. But the probability is that the Pop ulsts have already reached the high water mark, and will begin to decline just as the Green packers did. The tide is turning against their doctrines of cheap money and paternalism.
 The Democratic party has to bear the odium of being the party in power. The people always seem inclined to blame the party in power with all the mishaps and misfortunes to which humanity is heir. Then the coming election will be in the middle of the Presidential term and party fealty will be regarded more lightly. There IS generally change made in Congress in an off year. In 1890 the Democrats elected a majority of 148, thus reversing the Re- publican House majority. When Cleve- land was elected in 1884 he carried into the Honse Democratic majority of eighty four, but in 1886 this majority was cut down considerably. In 1892 the House Re- publican majority was overturned by 8 Democratic majority, and so in 1874.

TIE young men are rapidly coming to the front. Hon. Charles A. Culberson, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Texas, is only 3S years old, and Johu Gary Evaus, the nominee for Governor of South Caro- lima, is but 34. Mir. Culberson is son of Congressman Culberson, who is generally regarded as one of the most profound law yers ia the country. Hon. Charles A. Gull berson was graduated from the Military Institute of Lexington, Va, in 1874. He then studied law under the supervision of his father, and attended the law lectures at the University of Virginia, where, at the commencement exercises in 1877, he deliv. cred the public oration for the Jefferson Literary Society. He was admitted to the bar of Texas in October, 1877, and soon distinguished himself as q young lawyer of considerable oratoricai powers and as careful and studious practitioner. He was elected county attorney of Marion county in 1880, but soon resigned to attend to more important litigation with which he was entrusted. In 1887 he removed to Dallas and soon acquired an extensive and lucra. tive practice. He was nominated by the Democratic convention in San Antonio in 1890 by exclamation for Attorney General, to which he was elected, and was renomi. mated at Houston in 1892 and reelected.

TO OPEN THE SEASON.
Robert Gaylor as %Sport McAllister' the Attraction-Two and Half
 Hours of fFun.

The near approach of the opera season is a cause for rejoicing by the theater- going public of this city.
 Next Wednesday night the quaintest of all Irish comedians, Robert Gaylor, will appear at the opera house for a one night engagement, in his en ntirely reconstructed version of "Sport McAllister,' one of the 400. Jeremiah, or Sport McAllister, is an Irishman of leisure, with sporting fever and an ambition for political honors. He receives the nomination for the office of sheriff of the city of New York from the democratic party, and at once proceeds to canvass for votes in opposition to Dennis McGinty, the republican candidate for the same office. The latter is game, however, and shows fight. The electioneering tricks resorted to by both sides, in order to secure the popular vote, is immensely funny. Sport calls meeting of his followers, and his rival, who lives opposite to him, calls an opposite rally.
 Sports son writes up speech for his father, to be delivered from the balcony on the night of the meeting, and while prompting his father on that occasion, he trensfers the manuscript to his dudish step- brother, Percy, who gives the old man a protection speech instead of the proper line. volley of bricks and other missiles is the result of the mistake, and Percy is sent off in disgrace. Sport is not daunted by the accident, however, and invites the bosses of the foreign vote to grand ban quet, where by his clever diplomacy he be- comes master of the situation.
 Many fine specialties are introduced in tue second act.
