The Boston Commercial Bulletin, an
out and out goldbug, gives the follow
ing advice to its readers "We repeat
here, what we have so often asserted.
Don't sell your stocks; let the Wall
street mischiefmakers sell to each other
but hold on to your own. If gold tri-
umphs, prices will advance, and if, by a
miracle, free silver wins, there will be a
short spasm, but after that prices of
everything will advance, securities,
perhaps, more than anything else. Let
your mind be occupied, not with what
the Wall street bears evolve to brighten
people, but with the conviction, that
whatever the standard of value, this
country has not yet fulfilled its mission
and that it viii continue to be prosper
GUS and free for generations to come"

The democratic campaign this year
is going to be the campaign of the
worlzingman and farmer against the
corporation interests, using everything
for cloak to perpetuate bounties,
says the Illinois State Register. A
workingman swinging a dinner pail in
his hand stepped into the Illinois state
headquarters yesterday morning and
said to Secretary Nelson as he laid
down the silver certificate: "This is the
widows mite. 1t is the best l can do,
but I believe that every workingman
should contribute something to the ell
ection of Bryan" Mr.. Nelson said
that was something almost unheard of
in former campaigns, and shows new

SECOND EDITION. COLONEL WOODS IN LUCK A Court Decision Gives Him a
 Snug Sum. G0ODWYN'S LAST LETTER Is More Insulting Than His First-The Finale of Dothan's Sensation-General
 Alabama News.

Montgomery, May 27.-(Special)-Col. | Michael L. Woods of this city has just won a suit in the court of appeals of New York, in which he secures a snug little sum, and in these days may be counted quite a fortune. The original case has been before the courts for the past thirty years, and grows out of a claim of Cowan & Dickinson of Knox ville Tenn, against the government for | 256 bales of cotton confiscated by the fed | eral soldiers during the war. The gov ernment allowed the claim, after 1t was vigorously prosecuted, amounting to l $96, ,192, and the law firm of which Colonel Woods was member claimed 25 per cent of this amount under an agreement with the claimants, and 1t was this mat ter that has been so many years in the courts and which has just been settled in
 Colonel Woods favor. Twenty-Five per
 cent of $96, ,192 would be $24,04S.
 Shows Bad Temper and Bad Judgment
 Referring to Captain Goodwyn's second
 letter the Journal says this afternoon:
 By his second letter, which is even
 more insulting than his first one, Captain Goodwin displays bad Judgment as well
 as bad temper and recalls the adage that
 "whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad
 Captain Johnston gave Captain Good
 Wyn an opportunity to make the amende
 honora ble and show the sincerity of his
 desire for joint debate, but Captain Good
 wyn has let the opportunity pass.
 That his first letter gave offense to ms
 opponents in its tone and temper, If not
 Its contents, should have been sufficient
 to Captain Goodwin to have modified
 that letter. It was not for Captain Good
 wyn to determine alone whether his let ter was discourteous, and whether his opponent had right to take offense thereat It was his duty, as an honorable man, as he is, to have promptly with drawn the discourteouS language, or that language which has given offense, and then have asked for a joint debate, which he was assured by Captain Johnston would be accepted, if his request should be couched in respectful language Captain Goodwyns reply, in which he displays even worse temper than in his first letter, is not only in bad taste, but it is bad break, and his last break is his worst break.
 Dr. Christian Caught.
 special from Georgiana, Ala, says that Dr. Christian, who stole the wife and horse and buggy of T. J. Walden, a prominent citizen of Dothan, a few days ago and eloped with them, was arrested there tonight and officers have started with him for Dothan. Christian had only $17 in his pocket when arrested all | of which he gave to Mrs. Walden telling l her to go to her mother, who lives in Tex 1 as. Before she left home her husband purchased a ticket to Texas for her, and with the additional $17 she will be able
 to make the trip very comfortably.

 That of '96. SOCIETY MET LAST NIGHT And Began Plans for Mard Gras-Mr. Emile Lesser Presented With Beauti-
 full Badge.
SOCIETY MET LAST NIGHT

The Birmingham Carnival society held
 very interesting business and social
 meeting in the parlors of the Commercial
 club last night
 Present were. Emile Lesser, presi-
 dent; E. J. McCrossin, grand marshal;
 B. Steiner, T. l.. McGowan, c. E. Mc-
 Glemery, Louis Braun, Simon Koltz, A.
 M. Lopez, A. c. Reckling, M. V. Joseph
 H. A. Tomppert and others
 There were various discussions relative to the programme.
 There were rousng speeches in ad- vocacy of making the next carnival not only excel the first effort but to equal the best ever witnessed.
 The committee on arrangement had on
 exhibition some beautiful designs for
 floats, and orders are already being
 placed.
 A Beautiful Badge.
 At the conclusion of business MT. B. Steiner arose and said that King Rex, after embarking on his most beautiful yacht, had a most pleasant sail to France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, Russia, England and South America, re- ceiving high honors at the hands of kings, queens, emperors and princes. | Subsequently he boarded the steamer Mascotte for the coast of Florida, and | from that point he was carried through the country by the Louisville and Nash | vile railroad, and landed in Birmingham, l the pride city of Alabama and the Magic | City of the south. He was so well pleased with his reception and the loy- l atty of our people that many were made royal princes And in honor of our president. who planned this visit of his royal highness, MT. Emile Lesser," said l MT. Steiner ''in behalf of the Birmi ing
 ham Carnival society I have the honor of presenting you with this magnificent badge which you will keep as memento of our appreciation of your services" | MT. Lesser responded in an appropriate speech. in which he stated that while he | appreciated most highly the valuable | gift in honor of his services as president l of the Birmingham Carnival society, he l felt 1t due to state that without the val uable aid and cooperation that was so | cheerfully rendered by other members of l the society King Rex could not have been | received with such royal honors. The | memento, he said, he would keep and
 cherish as token of friendship and es- 1 teem. He assured the society that his efforts would be to make the next carni- l val the greatest and .grandest Birming- 1 ham has ever witnessed.
 The badge is mounted with a golden | crown studded with a ruby and four | small diamonds. Beneath the crown Is l suspended two enameled flags, green, | yellow and purple, to which Is attached | gold medal bearing the inscription,
 Presented to Emile Lesser in Token of His Successful Management of 1896 Mar l al Gras." s+eN
 The badge was made by Harry Mercer l of Birmingham and the design suggested l by T. l.. McGowan. After adjournment lunch and wine | were served by President Lesser and | happy toasts were made and responded | to by various members. ,s

Lad Breaks His Neck-Squares Forming

 Kennedy, May 27.-(Special)-Ou old est inhabitants say they have no recollec- ton of such warm April and May as we have had this year. The thermometer registered 95 degeres yesterday.
 Gardens are fine. We are having all kinds of vegetables that we generally have in June and July It is also stated that cotton and corn are in better condi- ton and farther advanced than was ever known before. Several farmers report cotton squares" and that means blooms by the 18th of June, an almost unheard of occurrence in this section. as the 4th of July is considered early for them. Political matters are unusually quiet just now Farmers seem to be giving more time to work than to politics. How ever, the majority of the people have registered and from present indications our county will go for Johnston. A very deplorable accident occurred at Dorroh's mill Monday. A son of MT. Joe Wheat, a lad of IA years, while waiting for his corn to be ground climbed null berry tree, and fell to the ground, break ing his neck.
