 Scale, March 2.-(Special)-A short chapter on Russell county politics might not prove to be uninteresting to your valuable readers. We have about twenty five candidates for the various county offices to- be filled at the next election. Seventeen of these have announced in sthe public prints. as follows: For sheriff three, for tax. assessor two, for tax col lector five, for treasurer four, for repre- sentative two, for superintendent of edu- cation one. With such an array of mate rial from which to select the convention cannot fail to get out good, strong democratic ticket, which is certain to be victorious as the August election comes off,
 As to state politics the whole interest seems to center on the race for the gov ernorship, very little interest in the race for the state offices being manifested. Russell county Is as sure to send up a Johnston delegation to the state conven- tion as the 18th of April comes. In Scale beat he has at least five supporters to MT Clarke's one. The beat has sixteen delegates in the county convention. John ston carried the beat two years ago, and he did not then have near as many sup porters as he has now. A fairly safe estimate will give Johnston sixty-six delegates out of 122 in the county con vention. This does not include Girard beat. with twenty-seven delegates, which went for Johnston two years ago. Johnston only lacked five delegates of carrying the county two years ago, and fairly conservative estimate will give him ninety-three delegates in the county convention. A careful study of the situa- tion discloses the fact that nearly all the farmers and laboring men are enthusias- tic Johnston supporters. Many sound money mon in Russell county, in fact majority of them, it Is believed, are for Johnston for governor. Johnston stock Is steadily rising and at high premium in this neck of the woods. 'Rah for Capt. J. F. Johnston for governor is the baftIe cry in old Russell

Havana March 2.-The official report of a fight which took place on the Jesus Maria estate, near Santa Ana, in the pro- vince of Matanzas, between a column of Spanish troops under Major Cossio and combined bands of rebels under Amieva, Betancourt and Cajizole, numbering about 1500, has just been published The rebel loss was eighteen killed and twenty wounded. The only man wounded on the Spanish side was Major Cossio himself. who was shot in the leg The camp of the rebels was captured by the Span iards. While thlrty-nne political prison- CTS were being taken on board a Spanish steamer here to be shipped to Ceuta, Africa, one of them jumped overheard. His arms were pinioned and he immedi- ately sank. When he rose to the surface the guards fired four shots into him and his body disappeared beneath the waves and has not yet been found.
 The Spanish warship Herman Cortez sailed from Havana for Matanzas on Friday night. She had her lights extin- guished when off the coast east of Ha- vana, where she sighted mysterious looking steamer carrying a single light forward. The Herman Cortez fired three blank charges at her and followed them up with a solid shot. The steamer seem ed to have speed and had no difficulty ini making her escape.

Yale's "Greater Twelve Temptations.''
 Greater Twelve Temptations" is the same blooming rose of spectacular mag nificence by another name than that most familiar to theater-goers Never theless it Is good of it's kind. As seen last evening at OBrien's opera house it was greatly enjoyed, keeping the large au- dienee thoroughly entertained fromsathe time the curtain rose on the first act to the drop over a strikingly lovely tableau at the conclusion. Like most spectacular shows that are up to date the company comprises a numerous beavy of pretty girls, who know how to dance and pose and make the best Of gaudy and dashing costumes. The danseuse was unusually clever and the coryphees in their pink tights and other roseate hues of scant attire were bewilderingly attractive.
 The individuals of the cast were all satisfactory and some notably good. Miss Mai Estelle as Hubert won much favor, and Gus Bruno as the henchman Sonoro ApropoS proved himself a comedian who tiekled the audience immensely and at will
 Miss Dexter as Zero, the snow queen, and Miss Gilbert as Bright Eyes were very attractive figures, the former in d dazzling costume that enhanced much natural beauty and the latter as a very captivating soubrette performer

 The telling specialties include the four Rosaires in acrobatic feats, the Elliott brothers in an exciting boxing match, Matthew Byrnes in puzzling Juggling tricks, Katie Gilbert and Gus Bruno, Jr. in their"Chanson Characteristique," and Harry LaMarr as the Giddy Old Maid, provoked a great deal of laughter.

Havana province many bands of from fifty to 1000 men each, and other bands operate in Pinar del Rio, Matanzas and other provinces as before, it can hardly be said that the two principal leaders of the rebellion are fleeing from or be- fore the Spanish armies. Gomez has dis played wonderful ability as a leader, and his present move is said to be part of plan arranged before he left Santa Clara for his march to the west. The withdrawal from Havana province of the main armies of Gomez and Maeeo will make it more difficult for General Weyler to deal them an effective blow before the setting in of the rainy season. There are rumors here of the landing of an expe- dition in Pinar del Rio It is supposed to have been sent from the states by Col lazo

Cobbs were com- ing into town Saturday, and just before they reached the depot one of the front wheels of the vehicle came off, which pre- cipitated the young ladies against the dashboard. Miss Annie was seriously hurt and was unconscious for several hours. The other two were considerably shaken up, but all are doing well at this time.

 As yet there are only three candidates in Hale for the legislature. It is prob- able there will be several more In a few days. The candidates for the county offices are now on the same platform they are all piemetallists No free sil- yer or gold standard men among them. They are for anything the "dear" people want. -5..
 A week ago there was considerable talk of trades and combinations on the part of some of the candidates and their friends. Johnston was to be traded off for some county office, but that talk is hushed now and the belief is that par ties in the trade could not deliver the goods.
 A gentleman in this town, who has been a close observer of the course of po- 1itical events for many years and who has generally been correct in his calcu- lations, predicts that Johnston will carry the convention by not less than fifty votes. He is 8 strong Clarke man.
 The low price of cotton at this time may be blessing in disguise, as 1t may prevent planters from increasing the cot ton acreage. We have never believed there would be any material increase in this section, and the late tumble in the price of the staple satisfies us that our opinion was based on good grounds.
 The populites held a meeting at Lib erty church on Saturday for the purpose of settling the question of cooperation or no cooperation, but we have not heard the result.
 Many of the peach trees are in full bloom and their fruit will probably be cut off by the late frosts, just as the po- litieal aspirations of the 'blue-eyed boy of destiny" are going to be nipped in the bud by the chilling reception of an un- appreciative people.

 Edwardsville, March 2.-(Special )-The democratic executive committee of Cle- burne county, pursuant to call. mdt here on last Tuesday and called for cSnven- tion to be held in the court house on Wednesday, the 18th day of April, for the purpose of electing delegates to the state convention to be held in Montgomery on April 21. 1896, and to transact such other business as may come before 1t. It was ascertained, however. that each of the members present were in favor of Cap tain Johnston for governor, and. further more, brought the glad tidings front sall over the county that the people were solid for Jefferson's candidate. There are quite a number of good men who once stood high in the councils of the demo- cratic party who have been deluded into the populist party, many of them hon. estly believing that they had been mis- represented and that they were really following democratic principles. who will now see, since the republican and popu- list leaders have had conference and recommended a cooperation of the two parties, that they have been sadly de- ceived, and that their allegiance to the populist party is only leading them into the republican party. With Captain Johnston for governor Cleburne county may easily be placed in the democratic column next August The democrats are saying very little just now, but when the proper time comes they will be heard from; and it Is believed. however, that new men-that is, men who have never asked for office-will be nominated for the county offices and also for represent atives.

The Superiority of the Electric Light as an

At first sightiit may seem strange that the old and crude forms of artificial it. illumination have each in turn been super seded by methods which, in some cases. have been considered more expensive. Candles gave way to kerosene, kerosene to gas. and now gas is being steadily sup planted by the electric light. That this increase in the popularity of the electric light is a nat ural sequence is easily accounted for by the fact that each succeedin,; form of artificial light has more nearly approach ed the light of day in it's color and healthfulness Passing over candles and kerosene, we will endeavor to point out few of the decided advantages of the incandescent electric light over gas.
