JOSEPH F. JOHNSTON NoM1N ATEp

1
The State Herald lays before it's read
ers this morning all the information nee
essary to convince even the most skeptl.
cal that Captain Johnston has carried
the state by an Overwhelming majority
The State Herald announced several
days ago that Captain Johnston would
carry more than 300 out of the 504 dele
gates which go to make up the state con-
vention. We were confident then that
the vote for Johnston would in all prob
ability be even larger than that, and it
turns out that the State Herald has all
the time been eminently correct in its
claims With possibly two exceptions,
Johnston has carried every county that
we have at any time predicted that he
would carry.
Captain Johnston has made magnifi-
cent campaign, and as his reward he re-
ceives the nomination of the party
which he has so long and faithfully
served, to be the governor of the state by
the most hattering majority ever receiv-
ed before in this state by democrat for
That place who had an opponent in the
Held. We heartily congratulate Captain
Johnston upon his signal victory and we
also congratulate the democratic party
upon its wise and timely choice. That
the white people of Alabama need to
come back together is admitted by all
men, and that with Johnston, who has
been striving since the first break in the
ranks to reunite the people of Alabama,
as our standard-bearer thousands and
thousands of men who have gone out will
return to the party, cannot be denied;
besides it cannot be doubted that his
nomination will bring to the polls IN Ala
bama 10000 white voters who have per-
sistently declined to take part in cleo
lions in this state since 1890
From the incipiency of the campaign
Captain Johnston has persistently sought
to harmonic, and has asked the support
earnestly of all men who believed in the
principles of democracy. Having occu-
pied that position and engaged in that
character of campaign, Captain John
ston is now in elegant shape to go before
the voters of Alabama and ask their sup
port in August. He did not hesitate to
ask them to vote for him in April and
those who did not do so in April will not
turn deaf ear in August. 1t must be
and no doubt is indeed gratifying to Cap
tain Johnston to receive such an over
whelming Endorsement as the one he re-
ceived Saturday at the hands of the par
ty for which he has done such valiant
service and to which he has been 50 true
during the past thirty years of his life
Again the State Herald congratulates
Captain Johnston and the democratic
party of Alabama, and also the
thousands of earnest, true, faithful and
active friends of his, who along with the
State Herald have labored hard to bring
about just the thing over which we re-
joice today.

guns and compelled him to deliver Red
dick Adams to them, which he did, as the
lifeless body of Adams will testify. With
out noise or disturbance the mob filed
out and the foreclosure of this morning
tells too well the finale. Adams died
of strangulation. Just behind the
music room of the school house,
from a rope thrown over a limb
and the other end tied to one of the posts
of the cemetery fence, he hung this
morning until cut down, viewed by a
crowd, and, but for a slight rise in the
ground, within full view of church-go-
ers.
The Scale people are very much per-
turbed lest the outside world should
believe that they were implicated in the
affair. 1t is safe to say that no one in
Scale was in any way connected with
the mob, and any one who knows the
citizens and circumstances connected
Herewith will never think for moment
that they had anything to do with 1t.
The coroner's jury is Investigating the
affair and will render a verdict Monday
morning.
Adams, at the time of the crime, for
which he has paid so tragically had been
out of the mines only about five or six
weeks, having served term for house
breaking, and since capture confessed
to other crimes, breaking into and rob-
bling a car at Montgomery for one thing,
done while on his way from the mines
to his home. near Pittsboro, Ala, last

camp nesting at Wares Grove next
Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, April

be continued at Wares Grove as long as
any good can be done. Both white and

The nomination of DR.. r. NJ. Cunning
ham in this county. most ardent free
coinage advocate, over Mr.. Burt Porter,
an able advocate of sound money, it APP
pears, settles the question as to how JEFF
ferson county stands on the financial
question. Between these two gentlemen
the issue was made straight. True, the
free silver advocates for the lower house
were defeated with the exception of Col.
j. j. Altman, but that is easily accounted
for. If you take the vote polled for the
free coinage advocates and divide it by
six, the number possible to have been
elected it will readily be seen that there
was good deal larger vote polled for
the free coinage candidates than for the
sound money candidates. The sound
money members to the Legislature were
nominated in this county simply because
the free coinage vote was divided up
between something like thirteen candi-
dates These are the facts and any fair
minded man, it appears, would not hest
tate to admit them.

BlRMlNGHAM'S LEAGUE TEAM.
All the Men at Work Getting Into Shape to
Play Ball.


Manager Rourke, with those of his
players now in the city, went out to the
new ball park yesterday afternoon for
work. The men worked together nicely,
and all seemed bent upon one aim-that
of getting in first-class condition as soon
as possible.
The men are in excellent physical con-
dition. and it is prophecied that when
"Old Binny," as Granny calls the pen
nant winners, goes down to the capital
they will profit by the example given by
Jeffersons champion on Saturday last,
and give their opponents such a shaking
up as they never before experienced.
The uniforms for the men have arrived,
and are beauties. The shirts and pants
are blue, the shirts having the magic
word, Birmingham" across the breast
the caps are blue, with black trimmings
and the stockings black.
Monday the new grounds will be for
mally christened by the leaguers, and the
lovers of genuine, clean ball playing will
have an opportunity of seeing Manager
Rourke's men literally wipe up the dia-
mond with Montgomery's so-called
champs.
Work on the grounds is being pushed
rapidly, and they will be in good shape
by Monday. Superintendent McClary
says he will have the electric spur track
ready in time, and people going out tc
the games will be landed from the cars

Mr.. Carlisle Enjoined.

Washington. April 13.-In the supreme
court of the District of Columbia today
Mr.. Graves of New York, through his
counsel filed suit for writ of injunction
to restrain Secretary Carlisle from deliv-
ering to Pierpont Morgan & Co. the
A,50000O of the last issue of per cent
United States bonds which were allotted
to him. Graves alleges that through the
clerical negligence of the department the
notice of acceptance of his bid was not
properly addressed, and therefore did not
reach him in time to permit of his max
ing the requisite gold deposit within the
time required, and that his request for
delay on this account was improperly re-
fused.
Treasury officials state that their ac-
ton was strictly in accordance with the
terms upon which bids were invited, and
they do not anticipate any embarrass-
ment from the action of the court. -
