Court Has d-Johnston a Sure
 Winner in Crenshaw.

Court Has OnnSbOn fSliIo
 Winner in Crenshaw.
 Luverne March -(Special)-Circult court is over and lawyers and clients have now turned their attention. to poll. tics. Every fellow you meet is pulling for either Johnston or Clarke, and all are in a good humor, knowing that if either of these gentlemen are nominated that Alabama will have good governor. The supporters of Captain Johnston, how ever, are much more jubilant than those of MT. Clarke, for Johnston's friends see a glorious and sweeping victory for their favorite. This county is absolutely safe for him, and MT Clarke's four speeches, for which he is billed in this county this week, will do him no good yet both sides are glad that he is coming He will in jure his cause if he utters any abuse of the peoples favorite, for when Captain Johnston spoke here he spoke only in the kindest terms of his distinguished oppo- nent. MT Clarke speaks here Friday at il o'clock, and at Brantley Friday night. One of the disting uished members of our bar who is an enthusiastic Johnston man, offers to wager $25 to $15 that this county goes for Johnston. He offers the same wager for Coffee and Covington counties, and says he will give odds that Pike goes for Johnston. but MT. Clarke's friends down here are better financiers than they are politicians, for up to date they have kept their money in their in- side pocket
 County politics, while there are numer- ous candidates, have sunk into oblivion, and everything Is now Clarke or John ston. It will be a hard matter to form any estimate as to who will be the nomi- nees for county officers. As yet no one has announced for the legisla ture. but 1t is the general opinion that the demo- crats of the county wul call upon Mir. Hiram T. Moody of Brantley to make the race. He is a good democrat and a very strong man, and the populite candidate would stand no chance to defeat him. MT. George w. Rhodes of Saville Is also being urged to make the race. If John ston Is the nominee for governor it is thd general opinion that every one of our. offices to be filled this year will be occu- pied by true and tried democrats. John ston would add more than 200 votes to the democratic ticket.

 Ol1C Citizen Dead

The End of a Man With a Record-A Good
 dCitizen Dead.
 Troy, March 26.-(Special) )-Stephen Jackson, one of the oldest men of Pike county, is dead. His life has been strange one. He killed two men, served his time out in the penitentiary for the murder of one of them. He came home and went back to farming. He was once struck by lightning and once had his abdomen cut open in fight. He was for many years a terror to the people who knew him. In his last hours he is said to have been troubled by visions of the man, Joe Bragg, whom he shot in cold blood about a hog. He seemed to see Bragg, and remarked: 'Is that you, Joe? What are you doing with that gun, Joe" Sad indeed was such an end as this.
 One of the best men of the county, c. H. Jones, is also dead. He, too, was near 72 years of age. He came to Pike county in 1886 and settled on Walnut creek, four miles from Troy. He was a devoted member of the Methodist Protestant church and held his membership at Mac edonia. His community will miss him sadly

Webb Flannigan, amid terrific uproar, offered substitute for the majority re- port, but he, too, was ruled out of order.
 Amidst the confusion the majority re- port was agreed to, and the election of delegates to St. Louis was proceeded with. Chairman Cuney annoIpced that himself and Ferguson, colored (Allison mem, and Makemson and Terrell white (Reed mem, had been elected. The an- nouncement caused the widest excite ment, and the Mckinley men attempted to capture the platform. A row followed, in which Webb Flannigan was struck on the head and knocked down, but the row was finally quelled without further seri- ous results. The regular convention, amid a great uproar. was declared ad- journed sine die, and the McKinleyites took possession of the hall. They organ ized with 621 delegates. of whom one third were eolored.

 Girard March 26.-(Special.) )-Mr. J. M Osborn, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate to the legislature from Russell county, states positively that he will not be in the race. MT. Osborn is an enthusiastic admirer of Captain John ston, Jefferson's popular candidate for the gubernatorial chair, and thinks that he will win in Russell county hands down. He says: Johnston is the man; Johnston everywhere. He is sure to be elected, because he is the choice of the people. He expresses the sentiments of the masses-the men who work and the men who vote. I do not think that MT. Clarke stands the ghost of a chance. As for myself individually. I am for Johns ston first last and all the time, and be- leve that a majority of my fellow citi- zens are of the same mind,
