A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION
Made by President Smith of tfe Western Rail- way-He Will Foot Half the Expense
 of Tobacco Farm.

Opelika, Nov. -(Special)-Presiden George'C. Smith of the Western Railway of Alabama is in the city today in his private car He has addressed the fol- lowing letter to the citizens of Opelika:
 ..I have made a careful investigation of the adaptability of the land along. the Atlanta and West Point railroad and the Western Railway of Alabama to the cultivation of tobacco, with the result that a very favorable report has been made thereon by MT. H.. E. Harman, ed- itor of the Southern Tobacco Journal, copy of which is herewith enclosed. I have also conferred with MT. Alexander Bondurant of the Agricultural and Me- chanical college at Auburn. Ala, who has conducted successful experiments in tobacco raising at the college. I deem it worthy the attention of the railway company and citizens interested in the development of our territory to pursue this matter for the purpose of demon- strating the possibilities and profits of tobacco growing in our section.
 After careful consideration of the matter, I propose on the part of the At lanta and West Point railroad and the Western Railway of Alabama to unite with committee of citizens at Opelika, LaGrange and Newman, to establish three tobacco farms. say of ten acres each, at points on our line; the railway company contributing one-half of the
Birmingham state herald., 1895-11-09

capital to operate the farms during the coming season, each committee to take charge of one farm. It is estimated that the capital required will be $200O for each farm, against which will be credited the value of the product marketed. The ser vices of a practical foreman to take charge of these tobacco farms can, am informed, be secured at a cost of $40 or $50 per month. The items of expense, so far as l can learn, will be about as fol- lows for each farm: Rental of land, $25; fertilizer, $200; labor, $250; curing barn, $500; curing and grading, $100, to which will be added a proportion of the cost of suoerintendence and other items of ex- pense which cannot be estimated in ad- vance.
 For small compensation, the ser- vices of MT. Bondurant to generally over see and direct the operation of these farms can be secured, in addition to the work of a practical foreman
 Tt is possible that the amount ofcapi- tai required will be less than above sug- gested It would be better however, in my judgment to provide a sufficient amount to conduct the work properly. Farmers in the vicinity of the proposed experimental farms might be induced to raise an acre of tobacco each by oner1ng the necessary facilities for obtaining the plants and curing the product.
 T shall be pleased to hear from you at your DfSl COHNtnltHCe, anu II yOu LoNOi ably consider the proposition herein made will endeavor to personally meet a committee which you may appoint for the purpose within the next ten days.
 "In order to have arrangements effect i've for the coming season it will be neces- sary to have our plans in operation by December next. Yours very truly, .-- .. "GEO. c. SMITH,
 President and General Manager"

 minister stated that Dr. Lueger was not fit to be burgomaster. The anti-semites, clericals and democrats violently decried the statements. The public galleries were filled with a crowd of anti-semites, who had visited the chamber with the ex- pectation of hearing a heated debate on the question When Count Baden gave his statement of the governments atti- ttlde in the matter the crowd started a bowling in concert and kept it up until the president ordered the galleries to be cleared.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL
The Prospects of Its Being Built With British and American Capital-lt May Cause
 Some Trouble

Chicago, Nov. S.-An afternoon paper publishes lengthy article purporting to give the facts regarding a new deal, the consummation of which will mean the complete construction of the Nicaragua ship canal with American and British millions purely as private enterprise. It Is stated that all attempts to obtain financial assistance from, the United States government through congress will be abandoned, and if it should develop that the charter granted the Nicaragua Maritime Canal company by congress is likely to prove embarrassing, it will be surrendered without hesitation.
 With revised estimates of the cost of constructing the canal, based on the great saving through improved exca- vating machinery owned by the Chi cago contractors and inventors, 1t is said the canal promoters went to London and laid their tempting plans before the money kings of the worlds metropolis. For months these financiers have been Investigating the proposition and the great deal Is on the verge of consumma- tion. The new figures call for the ex- penditure of between s70,000, ,000 and $S5,-. 900, 900. In substantiation of the truth of this statement it is asserted that experts in the employ of the Nicaragua Ship Canal Construction company which has invested $9,000,000 in the isthmus and canal to date, have been camping for months on the line of the Chicago canal from here to Joliet observing the won derful mechanical improvements in ditch digging on huge scale. When they re- turned to New York it is said the experts gave such encouraging reports of their examination that the prime movers in the canal enterprise, notably, Warner Miller, president of the Construction company, were induced to undertake at once the negotiations of the London deal
 The officers of the company expect there will be vigorous opposition on this side of the Atlantic in the executive and legislative branches of the government when the fact becomes known that Brit ish capital is to be invested in the canal. but they do not apprehend serious compli- cations from this source, and claim that as a purely private enterprise they have a perfect right to get capital in any mar ket free from interference or dictation from any government. President Wenter of the drainage board and Contractors Qually and Mason admitted that Warner Miller had been here on the mission stated above during last summer.

ton that is unalterable, and we would leave it to the hands of every party in this state that might in the future get possession of the machinery to cheat white men-our equals and our fellow cit- izens.
 believe it is almost inevitable, seeing that men are born different, that they look at things through different specta- cles, that we will have division among the whites In this state, as there Is even here. Elsewhere there Is freedom and in the future we will have it-white man against white man-and the ques- tion is, are we going to put 1t in the power of one set of white men to see that their votes are put in the proper boxes and that they are honestly count ed? We are here today with 30,000 odd on the. one side and 55,000 on the other, and nothing but the patriotism of the one side has kept it from appealing to those corrupt votes to overthrow us. God forbid that we should so far divide as to bring in this vote as a balance of pow CT, but if we should divide we should not put 1t in the power of the party in office. We have all the commissioners and managers; you may put the votes in there, but we will count them. Don't let us who are now in power forget that th/ wheels of fortune are always turninf < that politics is the most uncertain grouf = that man can walk upon. See ScS changes in the north. Only three years ago the democratic party swept the coun- try with an overwhelming majority and now they are covered with defeat and disgrace. We reformers should put this clause here for our own protection, for the day may come when our own vote may be jeopardized if we do not pro- vide for representation on the board of supervisors and managers.
 good many of Tillman's political friends powerful speech he made later on the convention refused to do what he asked by vote of 51 to 77.
 Then the whole article was finally adopted and sent beyond the conven- tions reach by a vote of 71 to 4S. Thus 1t is seen that 1t was by no means the unanimous vote of the convention that adopted the scheme
