TROY Mecganper

Troy Messenger.
Hill Howard is a great hunter He has
a woods pasture containing hundreds of
acres in Conecuh swamp, and since the
stock law went into force this piece of
swamp has become famous for the num-
Der and size of the snakes that inhabit
that particular section Not long since
Hill started to his fish basket. He says
he always keeps both eyes Skinned"
when in that swamp, and was on the
look out specially on this occasion. He
had not penetrated the brush far before
he saw moccassin about 6 feet long
and large in proportion, secured a pole
and killed it, he started on and short
distance from where he killed the first
snake he felt something touch his leg
and looking down he saw a large moe
cassin wrapped around his leg. The
snake had struck at him and hung its
fangs in his pants leg and endeavoring
to extricate itself had wound around his
leg. Hill says that when he had gotten
loose from the snake he was scared so
bad that he stood there helpless and saw
the huge reptile leisurely crawl off and
go into the water, not thinking about try
ing to kill 1t until 1t was gone. He says
that he has been scared a good many
times and In good many ways, but he
never was as near scared out of his wits
before, and that Ii gives him the cold
chils to think of 1t now.

Rev. w. D. Hubbard, the pastor will be
assisted by Mr.. McGaha for two weeks,
and under the leadership of able divines
a most interesting and instructive meet
ing is assured, from which much good
will doubtless result. Let all who can,
attend and as often as possible.
Notwithstanding the continued drouth
there was quite fall in temperature yes
terday, and some frost is reported this
morning in low damp places.
Hon. Thomas HI. Clark is booked to
speak here tomorrow night, and Messrs.

A few days ago it was reported that the
National Mckinley Democratic club of
this city had gotten hold of several thou
sand dollars for campaign purposes. The
latest is this club is taking up subscrip
lions among the boys to defray neces
sary campaign expenses. 1t is not all
gold that glitters, even in national
democratic republican corporation rail-
road coercion Headquarters.

The hoy orator." who we were inform
ed several weeks ago was talking his
cause to death, continues to talk and the
people it does appear will never get their
idle curiosity satisfied. Viceroy Marcus
Aurelius Hanna is now trying to inau-
gurate opposition meetings to the "boy
orator" in his canvass of Chicago, pre-
sumably to prevent Mr.. Bryan from talk
ing his cause to death in the Windy City.

This is a free country" exclaims the
Montgomery republican mouthpiece.
Then call off your coercion dogs and quit
trying to Kernoodle the voter The wage
earners in the Louisville and Nashville
shops should be allowed to bask as free
in this country of freedom as the men
who run the shops.

MR.. MOUNTJOY ON THE HUSTINGS.
Made His First Speech in the Campaign at
Piedmont.

Hon. G. A. Mountjoy, president of the
Birmingham Bar association, spoke for
Bryan and Sewall at Piedmont yesterday.
This was his first public speech in the
present campaign but now that he has
feshed his sword in republican blood he
will be found in the thiclrest of the fight
following the white plume of Morgan.

The press dispatches tell us the Hon.
Richard II. Clarke is likely to be selected
by the Buzzard's Bay fisherman to sue
coed Mr.. Clayton as district attorney. In
the language of Congressman Cobb,
where is Mr.. Clarke at? He has not been
heard of during this exciting campaign.

If the next Alabama legislature permits
the corporations to organize a cloakroom
assembly in the state house, the people
will know the reason why.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-10-21

If the corporations of Alabama have
had any claims on past democratic leg
islatures and democratic administrations,
they will have none on the one soon TO
come into power. Captain Johnston was
peculiarly the peoples candidate; besides,
most of the corporate influence has bolted
the party.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-10-21

There are a great many men in every
county in Alabama who may vote for
Bryan and Sewall, but will not vote for
Stallings, and will cast their vote for Mr..
Clarke.-Montgomery Republican Adver-
tiser.
Mr.. Bryan don't need nor don't want
such votes. If there be such men in the
Second district, let them go the whole
hog and vote for Mckinley. The demo-
cratic party respects political honesty

Captain Johnston, when he takes his

Mr.. Bryan was nominated republican

Immediately Mr.. Bryan would be elected,

a campaign of education. The campaign

This is the year when the people-the
common people-should come together
for constitutional convention. For the
first time in many years the people are
on top. They whipped the corporate in
fluences and named the governor and the
legislature, and the corporations-mos
of them-departed from the party, and
now, while they are out, the people can
make a constitution without being DOM
ineered by that influence that has in the
past always been on hand to seek special
privileges.

The railroads have had the Alabama
railroad commission since General Bragg
was ousted, and the law amended to suit
the attorneys of the roads. The people
having elected a governor and legisla-
ture this year in spite of the railroads,
it will be nothing but fair and just for
them to apply to the Legislature to let
them have the commission few years
