OZARK.
Clarke Spoke at Length and Made No Con-
 verts-Dale Still for Johnston.

Verbs-Odlo Q tlil TOT JOnnstOn.
 Ozark, April (Special)-The band played and the Hon. R. H. Clarke ad- dressed about 25O citizens of Dale county at Ozark yesterday Tn a speech of about two and half hours. The larger part of the audience were supporters of Captain Johnston and several of the Clarke men were from the country.
 Among other remarks Mr. Clarke said, as usual, that he was not making a per Sonal campaign and had no personal am- bition for the office of governor He laid all the blame of his candidacy to the call of his party and the demands of the country. He said that he had con- tempt for boasting, yet before he closed his speech it was thought that if by chance MT. Clarke should be nominated he will then debate in his own mind whether it was the man or the cause he advocated that won the fight.
 He in his way explained his breach of courtesy in having to open his campaign in Jefferson county, yet made no allow ance for Captain Johnston opening his campaign in the First district. MT. Clarke had~hts blackboard with him and spent about one hour of his speech in explaining to his small class the absurd ity of this country adopting the free coinage of silver and pictured the ruin, distress and poverty that would follow such action. In his ranting against free coinage he knocked the tumbler from the stand and said: 'There, it falls like the free coinage law"
 Before MT. Clarke had closed several white voters had retired and a dozen or more ~colored men took their places.
 MT. Clarke threw out his bait for the populite vote and told them that the Ocala platform was preferable to free coinage and closed his long speech by telling the people when he returned he hoped they would be enjoying prosperity consequent to the defeat of free coin age.
 We find no changes from Johnston to Clarke as result of MT. Clarke'S speech, and odds are still offered on Johnston carrying Dalew

Athens, April 7.-(Special )-Since Cap tain Johnston's speech here yesterday it's good effects are becoming decidedly ap- parent. Limestone, which two years ago was a unit for Oates, will give as solid g. support to Johnston. The captain was greeted by a crowd that packed the court house with democrats from all parts of the county.
 Limestone Is one of the strongest silver counties in Alabama. The good cause of the restoration of the peoples money is in excellent hands in the candidacy for the democratic nomination for the legis- lature of young Mcclellan, son of Judge John Mcclellan. He is making a most ex- cellent fight and will be nominated and elected.
 Limestone will go g. to 1 for Johnston. There will be no break anywhere in the Eighth district against Jefferson coun- tvs gallant leader.

Jones, pastor, and MT. c. D. Henderson, Sunday school superintendent. The church was hand somely decorated and the entire Sunday school took a part. Four classes of ten to each class recited a verse each from the gospels touching the resurrection of Christ. The large church was packed and the Sunday school room adjoining was also filled. The exercises, consisting of recitations, songs, etc., passed off with out hitch, and Messrs Jones and Hen derson were proud of their school and well they may be- The singing by the choir was superb. The rectations were perfect and every person that attended seemed to feel better and brighter for having attended.

 Centreville. April 7.-(SpeciaL) L)-This entire community mourns the death of two of our noblest women. On last Thursday night Miss Louisa Kennedy died after brief illness. She was love ly Christian woman, and she will be sad ly missed, especially in church and be- nevolent circles. On Saturday afternoon Mrs. s. D. Logan, wife of Hon. s. D. Lo- gan of this place, died.

Bad ven- tilation of sleeping rooms, impure air in dwellings, factories and shops, over eating, heavy, improper foods, failure of the kidneys and liver properly to do extra work thus thrust upon thsrn, are the prime causes of this condition.

Crowd of Cherokee Democrats.

Center April 7.-(Special.)-Capt. Jo- seph F. Johnston addressed a large crowd of representative citizens of Cher okee at the court house here today. He was in excellent trim and his forcible presentation of the issues of the day and array of answers to the strained objec- tions of his opponent won loud applause and added to his already growing strength. Cherokee may be set down in the Johnston column. His friends are confident he will carry every beat in the county except possibly three.

Colonel Tompklns aft Bessemer.

Bessemer, April 7.-(Special.) )-Hon. H. c. Tompkins of Montgomery addressed the citizens of this city tonight in the in- terest of MT. Clarke for governor. He was greeted by a very fair audience, composedmostly of populites. His speech was very good and we'll rendered from his standpoint, but made no converts. Bessemer can safely be put down in the Johnston column.
 I heard several gentlemen say tonight that it looked rather suspicious that there should be a concentration of the big guns of the state in the county of Jefferson so near the primaries and their decision was that Johnston must certain ly be representing the people, hence the flush among the politicians.
 Bessemer is for Johnston, and all the big guns in Alabama will not change the result.

tleman, lis really for Johnston, and if left to the voters to decide by ballot tomorrow as between the two gubernatorial aspirants, the best friends of MT. Clarke would not wager a copper their favorite. If John ston is defeated in securing the Mobile dele gation 1t can be attributed solely to the in difference of himself and friends to obtain it. While we appreciate his feelings in the matter, yet we think it due the principles friends have made the contest in Jefferson, that Captain Johnston should have laid matter and spoken to his Mobile friends who have left not stone unturned in his interest"

White, were vociferously applauded. The meeting was one of the best attended. as we'll as one of the greatest vote makers. that has been held in the county
 Conference to Select Six
 There seems to be some mist in the minds of the voters advocating the prin- ciples of free coinage as to whom they shall vote for for representatives. Among the announcements for representatives of Jefferson county in the house of the gen. eral assembly there are nine candidates who favor the free coinage of silver and only six can be nominated or elected. The State Herald was informed last night that conference will be held among the candidates and their friends and an agreement possibly made as to six upon whom the silver men will con- centrate their votes.
 Madison County's Vote
 Capt Dan Coleman of Huntsville, one of the ablest of north Alabama demo- cratic leaders, arrived in Birmingham last night. Captain Coleman is what IS termed a "sound money" man, but he is a warm supporter of Captain Johnston. He says the invasion of Madison by that valiant warrior, Ex-Governor Jones, has renewed interest In the candidacy Of Captain Johnston; that whenever the ex-governor, speaking at SuTley, men tioned the name of Captain Johnston 1t was greeted with cheers. Captain Cole man says he cannot see how Captain Johnston can be defeated for the nomi- nation Madison Is for him, he says, three or four to one.
