 Decatur, Ala, July 6.-(Special. )-Ala- bama politics is getting nightly mixed and it is the widest speculation to lo- cate the future of any one, except the Simon pure sound money democrats and a small portion of the straightout re- publicans. Perhaps no two men were ever more dametrically opposed to each other politically than Ex-Congress- man William Willis Garth of Huntsville and Ex-Congressman Charles Chrtsto- pher Sheats of this city, but they are now one and the same on the money question, both having spoken boldly in favor of the free and unlimited coin age of silver.
 Rev s. NJ. Adams of the Baptist church, who has been Reuben F. Kolb's lieutenant ever since the latter left the democratic party and who is chairman of the peoples party state executive committee, has called a meeting of that committee to be held in Birmingham July 24 The state election will not take place until August, 1896. IL Is generally believed that Mir Adams has summoned his council together with the view of ar ranging for the campaign, and especially for the purpose of proposing a fusion of the populists and the silver democrats.
 Capt. J. r, Johnston, who was de- feeted for the nomination for governor i;l 1894, was then and is now leader of what is called silver democrats and no doubt would willingly take the chances

Under the above heading the Baltimore Sun alludes to the present open Presiden- tial field, the numerous entries by par tieularly one party. and to the strong set to the current of Democratic prefer ence given by the action of the recent Kentucky convention. It declares that the victory won for sound money in the Blue Grass State has. for obvious req sons, centered the attention of the party throughout the country upon Secretary Carlisle, to whose personal exertions it was largely. and we think it may be fairly said, mainly due. The comments of the press of the country. Republican as well as Democratic. are bearing wit ness to the profound impression which MT. carlisle's masterly and successful defense of the administration and it's financial policy in his own State has made. The people turn instinctively in such a situation as the present Co well come the appearance of strong man who is on the right side of the main ques- tion of an approaching national cam paign, and who at the same time has the fighting qualities to make the right side win in debatable States. Kentucky has afforded a good test of Mr. Carlsle's power to lead and conquer on the vital money question in a State where the free silver heresy had gained formidable footing. His success in Kentucky is more than & local affair The whole South feels the magnetic thrill of his leadership, and the party throughout the nation is cheered by it. It is victory of that kind which points the way to others. As such it is hailed with en- thuslasm by Democrats in all sections of the country who feel that Democratic victory in 1896 can only be won by array ing the party solidly and resolutely on the lines of policy. especially on the money question, which the Cleveland ad- ministration has laid down.

This editorial extract from the New York Herald is timely and truthful and therefore deserves reproduction and con- sideration I've have already passed far beyond the epoch at which the produc- tion of our immense system of factories mills and workshops could be consumed at home. We must soon find new foreign markets for the vast output of American fabrics. or many of the mills must run short-time, and wages must become un- steady and unremunerative The exten- sion or our export trade in manufactured products should not be a question of politics. It is a patriotic duty of the highest order because it has become a necessity to our toiling millions. The great tidal pulsation of the sea would cease were it not sustained by a foreign body. And the wave of business prosper Ity now setting in cannot continue to swell over this land unless it is backed up by endorsements from extraneous sources. With the establishment of a good and growing foreign commerce the United States would be commercially as well as politically free and would realize the aims and hopes of the fathers whose memory we recall today"

HINTS ABOUT CORN.

In planting corn the ground should
be thoroughly cultivated until finely
pulverized and then rolled until
smooth and level. After this comes
the planting, which should be followed
by running light roller once over
the ground. This last is great aid
in conserving the moisture.
While corn may be grown confirm
ously on the same field with fair re-
suits, yet it is not good practice.
There should be rotation. The most
common is the five years rotation, in
which coru is grown for two years,
some small grain for the third year,
followed by two years in grass or
clover before returning to the corn.
BY very early planting, If good
stand is secured and the corn kept
equally free from weeds, as large
yields may be obtained ms from later
planting. The question each one must
determine is whether the risk and the
extra labor will justify early planting.
AS rule it does not But much de.
ponds upon the lay OF the land and
the nature Of the soil. A southern
slope warns up the most readily, and
it is on such that the earliest planting
should be made. A well-drained, dark
soil will warm up and be fit for plant
ing long before wet, light or porous
sell
As regards the thickness of planting,
experiments show that there is less
danger of getting too many plants
than of getting too few. Whether the
corn is planted in hills or drills makes
little difference, as far as yields are
concerned, but it is generally best to
plant in hills, aus it is easier to Guilt
vate the corn exclusively with the
pillow when it is planted in checks
than when in drills.
There is no advantage in cultivating
corn more frequently than is neces-
sary to destroy weeds and keep the
ground tolerably porous, Shallow
cultivation is to be preferred to deep.
Experiments regarding the best ma
nure for corn go to show that much
depends upon the different natures of
soils. OF the three elements requisite
nitrogen, potash and phosphate, the
last is most generally lacking in soils,
and the best results are usually OBJ

the manure, and it would seem as il
there were not much difference in the
