ST. CLAIR FOR JOHNSTON.
Admission by Popust That He Will Garry
Every Beat but One.

Hon. w. S. Foreman of st. Clair coun-
ty was in the city yesterday. Mr.. Fore
man is an avowed populist, and has rep
resented his county in the legislature for
the past ten years, and is candidate for
reelection.
A State Herald representative met Mr..
Foreman at the Opera House hotel and,
speaking of the political coloring, Mr..
Foreman said that the populists, as a
matter of course, would carry st. Clair.
How about the democratic prima-
ries?" asked the reporter.
ITO be frank" said Mr. Foreman, Il
have been in every beat in the county
within the past month, and Johnston will
carry every beat by good majority, ex-
cept Ashville."
HAS any word been sent to the popu-
lists TO vote for Mr.. Clarke in the prima-
RESP
mot that have heard of. Our people
are not built out of that kind of material.
If populist in st. Clair sees fit to vote
for Johnston or Clarke in the democratic
primaries he will vote for him in August.
l, myself, am for an honest
deal and opposed to any UNI
derhand hold, and 1 think l voice
the sentiment of my people on that
line, We don't want success that way"

Cuba or to say to France. England and
other European powers, IF you want
the island, take it,
But the United States should say to
Spain: You shall give that island self
government or we will" "And we are
able to do it, too" Mr.. Mills added He
quoted the line from Goldsmith that
Honor falls where commerce long pre-
walls" and said that the opposition to
American interference in Cuban affairs
came from those who thought they had
right to receive a cargo from Cuba
and make 100000 on it and right to
send cargo to Cuba and make $100, 200
on 1T. These were the things that were
poking their heads up all over the coun-
try and pleading against "jingoes" He
had received letter from New York to-
day speaking of him as another fool who
had turned lingo, like Sherman and
Lodge, and signed "a Disguised Demo-
GRAFT" Referring to a gospel incident.
Mr.. Mills spoke of Cuba as "a poor Grip
pie lying at the beautiful gate, lying at
the gate of the fortress that commands
the liberty of the American people, lift
ing her sunken hands and hallow cheeks
and crying with salt tears: Help us to
get out of his dungeon And he said
that the American would say after
awhile: I'm the name of the mighty re-
public, rise to your feet" And they
would extend their powerful right arm.

would say to Cuba, in the words of
Moore's beautiful song:
Come, rest in this bosom, my stricken
deer.

home is still here

New Orleans. March PA special to
the Daily States from La Fayette, La,
says: A negro named Lewis Sinclair at
tempted to assault a respectable white
woman in the neighborhood of Carencro,
La Fayette parish, Sunday morning, but
the timely arrival of a third party pre-
vented the accomplishment of his pur-
pose. He fled, but was caught that af-
ternoon, brought to La Fayette and put
in Jail. Sunday night a number of men
from the Corencro neighborhood came to
La Fayette, evidently TO lynch the negro
but the sheriff succeeded in pacifying
them and the crowd left. Monday a
constable came from Carencro with a
warrant for the negroes appearance be-
fore the Justice of the peace of that par
ish to answer charge of assault and
battery. The negro was taken to Ca

POPULISTS COMING BACK.
Captain Johnston's Speech Made Many Con-
verts-He viii Garry Tallapoosa
County if Nominated.

Dadeville, March 24.-(Special. )-Many
voters went away from Dadeville yester-
day singing praises of Captain Johnston.
1t took but little effort today here to dis
cover that Johnston stock had gone up
many points in old Tallapoosa county.
There has been a good crowd in town to-
day, it being too rainy to do any farm
work, and the people came to town to
attend court and talk politics. 1t is no
longer contended here by even the most
sanguine Clarke men that Johnston will
not carry this county. Several leading
citizens of Alexander City have been in
Dadeville today, and they say that john
ston will carry every beat in this county
north of the Tallapoosa river, and every
beat south of the river, with two excep-
tions, is conceded to the candidate from
jefferson. In my hurry yesterday L for
got to state the fact that some forty or
fifty of the lovely women and beautiful
maidens of Dadeville honored the gallant
captain by their presence at the speaking

money on the fact that Tallapoosa coun-
ty is going to join her neighbors, Cham-
bers and Clay, in support of Johnston.
heard a leading Jeffersonian say today
that Captain Johnston's speech yester-
day reminded him of old times. Said he:
1T Is al treat to hear a man talk the good
old sound doctrines of Jefferson and
Jackson and 1 am going to vote for
Johnston as sure as he is nominated"
This county gave Kolb about 600 ma
jority over Oates in 1884, and with John
ston as the nominee this year he will
carry the county by 500 majority. In
spite of Clarke leaders and populite lead
ers several hundred former rock-ribbed
democrats who went off with the Jeffer-
sonian party are going to come back into
the fold and vote the ticket,

evening: what on earth does the Ad-
vertiser mean? Has it's editors gone
mad? why are they now charging the
Clarke men in Decatur with being the
hired witnesses of the State Herald? 1t
will destroy Clarke, If in fact 1T has not
already done So"

begin in a few weeks the erection of five
handsome dwellings, to be followed by
the erection of ten more as soon as the
first five are completed"
What about the electric car line?"

homes on this street and accommoda-
tons will always come when the people
demand them. Yes, l have the utmost
confidence in Birmingham and when |

be the pride of the whole city"

proposed to furnish the money without
interest for the building of the electric
car line, to extend from Twentieth to
Sixteenth street. Eleventh avenue, and
the contractors We're enjoined from cross
ing the Highland Avenue and Belt dunn

junction was set aside in the lower court

COOPERATIVE COTTON MILL.
Gentlemen From Atlanta Here Canvassing the
Idea.


Mr.. B. II. Finney of Atlanta has been
in the city several days talking to our
citizens relative to the building of cot
ton factory here on the cooperative plan.
Mr. Finney's plan is that the capital
stock be made 100000, to be issued in
shares of 500 each; that each stakeholder
pay rs cents per week, or 50 per month,
per share. He says that several facto-
ries have been built on this plan and have
proved very successful, one of which is
located at Eufaula, in this state. He is
meeting with considerable encourage
ment and is very hopeful of success. He
has laid his plans before the manufac-
turing committee of the Commercial club
and they are considering his PROPOSE
ton, and when the committee meets Sat
urday the feasibility of the undertaking
will be thoroughly discussed.
1t might be well to remark in this con-
nection that some of the most successful
cotton factories in North Carolina were
built on the cooperative plan, as sug-
gested by Mr.. Finney, and the stockhold-
ers are more than satisfied with the re-
suit.
