Alabama Goes Democratic.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. Fur
ther returns from Mondays election
show that Johnston and the Democrat
ic ticket have carried forty-one coun-
ties, while Goodwin, Populist, has
twenty two. Three counties, Pike,
Cullan and Tallapoosa are close and
in doubt. 1t is about stand of in
these. Johnston's official and estimat-
ed majorities amount to 4S S73, while
Goodwyn's majorities are 9,205. leav-
ing Johnston's net majority at 80, 44S.
The official canvass OF the vote Satur-
day will, it is thought, not vary from
these figures. For the Legislature
later reports show that the House
stand segenty-four Democrats, gain
of ten mem bers, twenty Populists and
six doubtful. Ia the Senate the Dem
ocrats have elected thirteen members,
the fapulistS three and one is in doubt.
This gives the Democrats over three
fourths OF the Legislature. John.
ston's majority OF the white counties
is near.y 10000 not including the
Black Belt which is calculated to dis.
pose of the charge that Goodwin was
elected but counted out. ConserVa-

Otherwise they will 60 for Bryan and

The Cost of Bicycles.

In adjusting the fire insurance loss

and stock OF wheels OH hand of one OF
the largest and most popular bicycle
manufacturing companies in the
United States, the fact developed that
the cost of one hundred dollar ma.
chimes was but nineteen dollars at the
factory. The public is asked to pay
one hundred dollars fora wheel which
is manufactured at cost OF but nine
teen dollars, profit to the manufac
turer of over 400 per cent. The pur,
chaser is told that it costs lot OF
money to sell the wheels, which might
be and still leave several hundred per
cent. profit for the poor manufactured
The day is not far distant when bi-
cycles will be sold in hardware and
other stores, Like lawn mowers, at 4
price nearer twenty-five dollars tnan
one hundred. There may be other
goods manufactured which cost bGt
one-ffth of the price they are sold for,
but the public certainly is not aware
of the fact.

OF Dispenser Stevenson of Winnsboro.
Mention was made in the reports Of the
Winnsboro meeting that Stevenson
had taken an active part IL howllng
down some of the Speakers. From
the appearance of things now it would
seem that his overZealous action is GO
ing to make him 3 man without a job.
It seems that he either forgot the clrcu-
lar letter sent out by the State board
that none of the dispensers were to be
active in politics, or disregarded it
wilfuuy. AS result, instruction
have been sent to the county board OF
control of Fairfield for all the facts in
connection with Stevenson's actions
to be laid before the State board at its
next meeting. This will be test OF
whether the board means thing
when it says it or not.-State.

Prince Simons, Jack Gethers and an
unknown negro. These men were

tachment of the Chicora Rifles. Of the

 The banks of Pennsylvania are gen. erally contributing to the campaign fund Seventy thousand dollars was contributed from Pittsburg banks last week. A percentage on the deposits to & fixed amount was agreed upon. The banks do this on the ground of the ne- oessity of protecting depositors and their stockholders. A number of Philadelphia banking institutions have given S10,- = 900 each.
