Democratic Enthusiasm in Talladega.
THE BnHRnns PARK MnnT1Ne.

The Proceedings as Reported in the Official
 Organ of the German-Americans.
 Translated From Birmingham Courier,
 June H.
 The meeting in Behrens' park, which was held last Sunday under the auspices of the German American union, was without doubt the most harmonious and largest assembly of Germans which ever took place in Birmingham. While there were over 1000 people present. everyone present was enthusiastic, and proved by his earnest and active participation in the proceedings that the Germans have at last awakened. The meeting was opened at 3:30 o'clock by the president, MT. E. Lesser, who explained the pur- poses of the meering and introduced MT. Anton as the first speaker.
 MT. Anton described in we'll chosen lan- guage how the Germans in all ages have taken active interest in public questions, and how they often became the decisive factor He showed how our Germans had heretofore been negligent in their duties in this respect, to which he ascrib- ed the want of recognition of the German American element on the part of the po- liticaI party In power, and exhorted them to rouse themselves from their lethargy and to take a strong and active interest in political life, and especially in the approaching elections.
 The next speaker was MT. R. H. Fries, who addressed the meeting in English. His speech from first to last was splen- did piece of uratory, and was rewarded 6y the most vociferous applause.
 MT. Fries demonstrated in logical manner the deplorab1e consequences of the want of harmony among the Ger m1ne, and proved that IF organized and united they would become factor that could not be ignored. and which could en- force any reasonable and 1ustihabie de- u1and Referring to the approaching county and state elections he showed the

The Cotton G rOp.

Cotton has certainly advanced, bas-
ed upon the serious effects of the
drought. Reports from sections Of
the state which are suffering from the
terrible spell of the dry weather show
that the yield, if any, will be
very small. The Arkansas Com
missioner Of Agriculture says that in
his state the crop has been cut short
fully so per cent, but estimates that
half crop will produce as much mon
ey as a whole one. He thinks the
crop failure this year is the most
marked in thirty years. Most North
Lom-iana planters would be glad for
even half a crop. AS to Texas il was
confidently expected before the
drought that she would produce
5000 900 bales. Since the dry wealth
er these figures have had to be revis'
ed, and it is now said the State will
not prodrce more than half. No Won
der cotton has advanced Monroe

has communicated the following me-
thod for determining the age of eggs.
The method is based upon the decrea-
Sc in the density OF eggs as they grow
old Dissolve two ounces of salt in a
pint Of water, and when fresh egg is
placed in the solution it will imme-
diately sink to the bottom of the yes
sci. An egg twenty-four hours old
will sink below the surface of the
water, but not the bottom of the ves-
sci. An egg three days old will swim,
in the liquid, and When more that,
three days old will float on the sur
face. The older the egg is the more il
will project above the surface, an egg

Progress in the South.

The industrial progress of the South
is one great incentive that should ac-
tuate the people in the developement
and utalization Of its immense resour-
ces. These are virtually thus far on
ly partially unearthed. Yet under
the impetus thus given in utalizing its
ores, coal beds, oil wells and other re-
sources, giant strides have been taken
toward a future Of unequaled wealth,
power and greatness. Yet the efforts
thus far made are but as the zephyrs
of morn as compared with the proper
items trade winds that will send the
ship of advancement spinning forward
toward the eventual harbor of full de-
velopement, where it will reap the
profits Of successful voyage.
Already the mighty forces are at
work bringing into prominency the
unrivaled advantages, the unlimited
resources, the salubrity Of climate,
and the golden fertility Of the soil of
this magnificent section that is the
garden spot Of the world in IFS unde-
veloped mines Of wealth that will
eventually rival all the massive
treasures dug from the bowels of the
earth. The construction of railways
has brought to light the silent wastes
that have been untouched by the
hand of labor and industry. With
these there are flowing into tnis
modern Eden of America capital and
population. Under the inspiration of
their presence the land is beginning
to pulsate with new life. The whir
of the cotton spindle, the blasts Of fur
naces, the hum and clatter Of facto-
ries and industries Of all kinds, are
awakening the solitudes and disturb
ing the silent forests and busy marts
with the buzz of machinery.
Steadily the cotton mills are travel
ing into the great belt where the flee
cy staple is cultivated and gathered
Their open gateways will soon no lon
ger be found hundred Of miles away il
the East, but here at home, where th'
raw material can be carried from th'
field, snowy with the staple, into th'
spindles and looms of the factories
thus adding hundreds Of millions +
the revenues of the South.
| These are aids of progress ant
greatness that need only the lapse 0
time, patient labor and awaiting to de
velop into the fruition of the lofties
expectations of those who are up ant
doing. Human industry, persever

A GOVERNOR or THE COLONY.

The Life of a Turgid Ruler Of the
Late Province of North Carolina.
Mr.. Marshall Delaney Haywood, of
this city, has just made an interesting
and important contribution to the colo
NAL literature of the State. He has
written the biography of George Bur-
rington, twice governor of the colony
of North Carolina and one of the most
noted men of the colony. The hand
somely printed pamphlet is adorned
with cut of the burlington coat of
arms. burlington was twice governor,
once under the Lord Proprietors
(1724-1725) and later Royal Governor
(1731-1734.) During his administra-
ton Edenton was the capital of the
colony. After year of rather turbu-
lent rule he was displaced, on the COM
plant of Chief Justice Gale He was
of all the colonial governors the most
fearless and Inspirations. But this
turgid old official knew the character
of the colonists, for he wrote: THE in-
habitants of North Carolina are not In
dustTious, but subtle and crafty to
admiration; always behave insolently
to their GoYernours; some they have
Imprisoned, drove others out of the
Country, at times set up two or three
supported by Men under Arms. All the
Goyernours that ever were in this Pro-
vince lived in fear of the People Tex
cept myself) and dreaded their Assem-
blys. The People are neither to be
cajoled or outwitted; wherever a Gov
ernour attempts to effect anything by
these means he will lose his Labour
and show his Ignorance I"
The account of his sad and mysteri-
Gus death is given for the first time
in this monograph.
