THAT PERRY PLAN.

In one of its usual mean little filings at Captain Johnston the Montgomery Advertiser says:
 He is very anxious to have the com mittee adopt the Perry plan, which he calculates would be of great advantage to him in the party primaries. The state committee, however, has several times sat down on that scheme, and it will take no step in that direction at this late day"
 No doubt the Advertiser thinks 1t can bulldoze the committee into obedience to the Montgomery cabal, but we ven- ture to predict that when the national committee shall have issued its usual call for all citizens who wish the success of the party to participate in sending del- egates to the national convention the state committee will do likewise. If it should not the question will arise wheth- CT or no the state committee can ex- clude delegates invited by the national committee. We venture to predict, not withstanding the arrogance of the Ad- vertiser, that the state committee will follow the language of the call of the national committee. The call of the na- tional committee in 1892 was identical with the Perry plan, and the call of that committee in 1896 will also indorse the Perry plan.

 J. W. Strong. the man who was arrest ed at the union depot between 12 and o'clock Monday night while trying to make off with sack of silver was trans ferred to the county jail yesterday morn- ing, where he is now confined
 A State Herald reporter called on him at the jail yesterday afternoon, but fail- ed to elicit any information other than was published yesterday.
 The prisoner said he had no recollec- ton of being at the union depot Monday night. He said he had been drinking for several days and was very much under the influence of whisky that night. He said the last thing he remembers of Monday he was in the Florence hotel bar some time during the afternoon. The next he remembers, according to his statement, was on awaking yesterday morning in the city jail. He claims to have no knowledge of anything that transpired between those times.
 He claims to have come to Birming- ham last Thursday to secure work, but so far had been unsuccessful. He claims Gallatin, Tenn, as his home and says since coming here he has lost about s65 or $70, how he does not know.
 Strong was given hearing yesterday morning in the inferior court and his bond fixed at $1500 failing to give which he was committed to the county jail.

bushels. Two of the shipments were ex- clusively of grain in bulk.
 The Lock Fay, for Rotterdam and Hamburg, took out 175,719 bushels of corn, the largest single cargo of grain ever shipped from this city.
 It will be seen that Europe is taking an immense amount of American corn this year, something very unusual for it. and that New Orleans is getting its full share of the business. It is to be hoped that the European countries trying corn so extensively this year as food for man and beast will fbully appreciate it's merits and continue to demand it in the future. It would be well for us to have a foreign market for the crop for occa- sions like the present, when we raise more than we need ourselves.

The republican bond bill, which at one time threatened to disrupt that party in the house, goes discredited by that very party to the senate for acceptance. Its majority discloses that Reed has been unab ble to hold in check the recalcitrant members of his own party, and to this extent he has been shorn of his power among the republican braves. It reveals with telling force that the retirement of the greenbacks upon the lines proposed by the republicans is not wanted by the peoples representatives and confirms the belief that when it will reach the senate it will meet with stronger and more eff fectual resistance.

There is possibility that this one paper. which he Is generally credited with writing, will give him a permanent place among American statesmen.

The difference between the old times
and the new is illustrated by a story
told by a lady whose girlhood home
was in the town of Winslow. 1t was
during the period of the bloodless
Aroostook war; when excitement ran
high all over Maine. One Sunday the
family of which the lady was then a
pretty young member had been to
church and while there had listened to
more or less gossip concerning the
war" part of which was to the eff
feet that there would be a draft of the
able bodied citizens right away. Ar
rived home, the family held "a consul
tation. There was one young man
among the sons who would be almost
sure to be drafted, and on making an
inventory of his wardrobe it was dis
covered that he was in need of new
pair of trousers if he were to play the
part of a warrior. The need was no
sooner known than steps We're insti
tuted to meet it. a black sheep was
singled out of the flock, his fleece was
removed and the process of carding.
spinning and weaving it into a piece
of cloth for those trousers was soon
under way. The trousers were prob
ably not handsome but the chances
are they We're very durable.
