county. died at his home here at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. He had been in bad health for some time, and his death, although sudden, was not unexpected. He passed away so quietly that his daugh- ter, who was in the room with him. did not know he was dead until some time after he died. Colonel Davidson had been prominent in Alabama affairs for more than a quarter of a century. He was a brave Confederate soldier during the late war between the states. He was colonel of the Sixty-second Alabama regiment. Colonel Davidson was appointed by Gov ernor Oates to fill the unexpired term of Judge Hayes, who died during the month of July, 1895. He was man of great in- tegrity of character and made a fine rec ord as probate judge. He leaves wife, six children, two brothers and two sisters to mourn his death. He was at the time of his death an elder in the Presbyterian church. In the death of Colonel David son this community has sustained great loss. He was buried in the family grave yard at o'clock yesterday.

PARTY NOTES AND NOTIONS

Birmingham had distinguished vis- itor yesterday in the person of Hon. Her nando Money of Carrollton, representa- tive in congress of the Fourth Congress sonal district of Mississippi, also United States senator-elect to succeed Hon. James z. George.
 It is the writer's privilege to know Colonel Money well and pleasure to share the very high esteem in which he is held wherever the leading, thoughtful forceful men of public life are known and measured. His recent election to the senate of the United States to sue ceed so great a tribune of the people as Senator George over such able men as Judge Campbell of the state supreme court Private John M. Allen, Ex-Gov- ernor Stone and Ex-Governor Lowry was a triumph that none but man of great ability could have achieved.
 In response to questions as to the status of the silver question in congress, Colonel Money said 1t was quite as strong as the single gold standard side and with better prospects. While the recent vote in the house disposed of free coinage for silver the results were as much a death blow to the retirement of greenbacks and the authorization of the issue of any more bonds as it was to sl- yer. The recent bond issue, he thought, had helped the cause of silver, for 1t demonstrated that the agitation of the silver question had not ruined public credit and destroyed public confidence. The recent debates in congress, it is Colonel Moneys opinion, have all been in favor of bmetallism, notwthstand- ing adverse votes. It is absurd to say that the question is settled as long as silver remains unremonetized. An un- ceasing fight will be made for the white metal until it is placed on terms of equality with gold as the constitution contemplated. This the single standard apologists know full well.
 Speaking of the bearing of the question upon the two great parties this year, Colonel Money said: "The gold men count upon states which will not give a democratic vote to control the next demo- cratic national convention and expect that the states which have been reliably democratic will yield that control. It is going to be serious question with the democrats from those democratic states whether they will supinely suffer such domination. With the republicans the division on the money question is quite as 1 marked as with the democrats. although the factions are not so nearly evenly di- vided. The question will certainly give them trouble"
 Colonel Money became an interviewer in his turn and asked apOut the AlaOama campaign. He said he knew MT. Clarke well and highly esteemed him, but he heartily hoped Alabama would give to Johnston solid support and at the same time send to the national convention a delegation that would support no single standard candidate for president. Ala bama would head the list of states and he hoped the silver men would make an aggressive fight; there was no middle ground between free coinage at IS to and anything short of it. In the recent canvass through which he had pa ssed the

I do not see how any one can take exception to anything he said And I do not think MT. Clarke will think hereafter that MT. Johnston is afraid of him, and he was so simple and yet so genteel to his op- ponent
 If I had been a Clarke man this speech would have turned me I read his speech to man who said he did not care to hear it, but said after hearing it that 1t was simply unanswerabe
 I was in conversation with a man in the eastern part of the county, and l asked him how many Clarke men were there in his community, and he said he did not know of a single one.

EVERGREEN.
Conecuh County All Right for Johnston.
 Some of His Active Supporters.


 Some of His Active Supporters.
 Evergreen, Feb. 1S.-(Special.)- 1.-The political situation in this county as re- gards Captain Johnston's chances is very encouraging. The most sanguine supporters of MT. Clarke concede the county to Captain Johnston. In this beat, where the Clarke forces are the strongest, Captain Johnston has clear majority. Captain Johnston has some ardent sup porters here and they are at work. Such men as Hon. Nick StallWorth, Col. John D. Burnett, Messrs. l.. w. and c. B. Savage, s. Deming and a long list of other prominent and influential men are cha mpioning his cause.
 Local politics are talked of but very little. Not a. single candidate has yet announced, hence the contest for county offices will not be very interesting from present indications.
 The populist county executive commit tee met here on Saturday, the 8th, and fixed March 21 as the date for holding primaries for nominating county officers, and March 2S for electing delegates to the several conventions.
 The farmers of Conecuh county are Tn a better condition than they have been for many years. There has been boun- tiful supply of corn potatoes, molaSseS, meat etc.. made and there are very few who have not a sufficient quantity to do
 
 generally admitted that there are more we'll filled corn cribs and smoke houses in Conecuh than has been known for many years past and the farmers seem buoyant to begin work for another crop.
 From present indications, Judging from the amount of commercial fertilizer that is being hauled away from here, 1t would seem that the farmers intend planting a large cotton crop this season, but they say a large per cent of the fer tilizers will be used to make corn.
 A large number of northern tourists are stopping at the Magnolia. Evergreen is growing popular as health resort, as evidence of which the number of north- ern visitors increases every year.

 The number of trains on this road has greatly increased of late, owing to a washout on the East Tennessee. Travel

fees. It is rumored that T. G. Harris will be nominated for tax assessor and Tubbs of beat 12 will be nominated for sheriff. There will be a full ticket put out, but the names of all the nominees are not yet known.
 The speech of Captain Johnston at Thomasville is complimented very high ly by his friends and satisfies them he is the superior of MT. Clarke on the stump. The friends of Clarke have been growing over the Johnston men because Johnston refused to meet Clarke on the stump, but if the former delivers many more speeches like the one at Thomasville the growing will be on the other side.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 18.-Despite the an- nounced candidacy of Ex-Senator Man derson as a presidential candidate, re- publfcans from many sections of Nebras- ka met here today, and, putting aside the favored son idea, expressed their preference for Major Mckinley. The Funk opera house was crowded when Ex-Governor Thayer called the meeting to order. He read numerous petitions from all over the state urging that a Mckinley delegation be sent to St. Louis and expressed his own satisfaction at this sentiment. Senator Thurston made the principal speech and was followed by John L. Webster and John c. Cowan of Oma ha. c. H. Geer, editor of the Lin- coin Journal, and others.

Huntsville, Feb. 1S.-(SpeciaI)-C gressman R., Fl. Clarke spoke here yes terday as per announcement, and made labored talk of two hours and five minutes. MT. Clarke was introduced by Col. R. B. Rhett in graceful manner. The speech of MT. Clarke was such as he has been making, but made no converts here. By an approximate count there were 400 people in the court house. Two thirds of them were strong adherents of Captain Johnston, and of the other one third a good many were republicans and number of negroes. Not exceeding thirty men in the audience did the ap- plauding act. The only perceptible ef- feet I have been able to observe of the speech is that it satisfied the few follow CTS he has here. and has aroused the Johnston men to greater enthusiasm, If possible, for their great democratic leader The old guard in Madison stands like stone wall and bids John ston democrats all over the state to be of good cheer eat no idle bread, and at the state convention on April 21 join her with a solid delegation.

PHlLHEDONIAN BELLIES AND BEAUx.

Nothing of social nature during the mardi gras festivities has surpassed the grand bal masque given last night by the Philhedonian club in their connexions rooms on Twenty-irst street.
 About forty couples were present, but the costuming in each case was study in itself, from the richly attred Persian prince to the pretty little blue domino, from whose muffled headwear profuse golden tresses had managed to escape, perplexng the eager glances of friends and acquaintances. She was the center of many groups as she fitted from one to another of the small gatherings, ieav- ing nothing as to her identity beyond a mere suggestion or a haphazard guess.
 Then the baseball man, the old-fasbion- ed girl, the dude and peri-wigged lord each in turn comes in for a share of admi- ration It was not until the masks were removed at a late hour that it was known "who was who." The guests of the Pblhedonians voted them last night, as at all times, the princes of entertain ers.
