THE AUTHOR OF "CLEG KELLY"

S. R. Crockett is one of the English au-
thors who in the last few years have writ
ten themselves into popularity. He is a
new light in the literary armament. and
his few volumes have received praise from
no less capable authority than the Hon.
W. E. Gladstone. His best known works,
perhaps, are 'eThe Lilac Sunbonnet" and
Bog Myrtle and Peat" but his most re-
cent production, "Cleg Kelly, Arab of the
City, promises to greatly enlarge his cir
Gle of admirers. In the new novel the
lights and shadows Of curious phases OF
Edinburgh life and of Scotch farm and
railroad life are pictured. it is said, with
an intimate sympathy, richness OF humor
and truthful pathos which will make
"Cleg Kelly" welcome to readers every
where. The novel, finely illustrated, has
just been issued by D. Appleton & Co.

A DRAMA OF HUMAN LIFE.

In "The Love Affairs of Worldly Man"
Maibelie Justice has aimed to present a
drama of human life time, the present );
place, the world; actors, worldly men and
women, with faults and frailties COM
mingled with sincere desires and honest
purposes; plot, not so much to convey
moral or theory, as to depict how life's
realities differ from ambitions cherished
dreams. There is tiattering, rhetorical

Meehans' Monthly.

Meehans' Monthly seasonably has for its
Prang colored plate representation of the
beautiful blue Rocky Mountain Column
bine. The columbine history is as inter-
esting as the plate. 1t appears that the
botanical name, aquilegia, is not given as
our botanists teach us, simply from its
resem blance to an eagle, but it commemo-
rates the beautiful daughter of Jupiter of
that name who died for the love of Gany-
mede's beautiful bird. Treating of bees
and clover, the conclusion is reached that
they are non-essential in the production of
seed. The proper potting of window
plants is prettily illustrated. In a two
column article the history of cotton in our
country and the phases of the cotton in
dustry in the South to-day are discussed.
Over 3, 100000 spindles are running in the
South to-day. Dean Hole, who, like many
foreigners, has recently "booked Amer
ica,' gets snubbing for his enjoyment of
vulgar tastes. Specimen copies are fur
nished gratis by the publishers, Thomas

portance of Mr.. Lowell's residence in
London. He came to that city, Mr..
Smalley thinks, "the man he had been
all his life Tonga man Of books and OF
literature, thinker, a dreamer, poet,
alrost a recluse'' He cared not at all for
society, and during the first part of his
life in London "he would hardly accept
an invitation which was not official and,
therefore, compulsory" A great student,
acter till he discovered that London
society was kind of microcosm,
or the whole world in little"
One cause for the interest Lowell aroused
in London was the intensity of his Ameri-
canism. About this, Mr.. Smalley remarks
"It was not merely that the flavor of it
was piquant, and that London is ever
eager for new sensations. 1t was still more
that this trait was so obviously genuine,
and genuineness is part of character
on which the English set high value.
There may have been Americans who
thought they could make their way in
London by renouncing their Americanism.
or by disparaging their own country. If
so, they knew nothing of the English
before whom they abased themselves. If
ever Lowell's large charity grew strict, it
was for such as these"

The Century.

The Century for the coming month is a
richly illustrated number. It contains
many beautiful engravings, the most
notable being those used to illustrate Pro-
fessor Sloanes history of Napoleon. Pro-
fessor Allan Marauand of Princeton
University contributes an article on the
"Old Olympic Games" This is timely in
view of the forthcoming revival at Athens.
'tFour Lincoln Conspiracies" is the title
of an article by Victor Louis Mason of the
War Department which contains a large
amount of new matter relative to the as
sassination of the President.
In "Plain Words to Californians" an ap-
peal is made to public-spirited citizens of
California to support the effort of John
Muir, the Alaska and Sierra explorer,
to procure the recession to the United
States of the Yosemite VALLEY so that it
may be merged in the Yosemite National
Park, which surrounds 1t, and which
under military control has regained its
beauty and value as conservator of the
water supply for agricultural regions in
the San Joaquin Valley.

THE NEWS FROM DALE.

The Democrats Have More Than a Fighting
 Chance in the County.
 Ozark, June 11.-(Special.) .)-The politi- cal news from Dale county is of a most encouraging nature. In fact, the demo- crats are so much encouraged at the out look that the more hopeful claim the county absolutely for the democrats.
 In August, 1892, Captain Kolb and the Jeffersonian ticket carried the county by a majority of more than 600. In Novem- Der following, when the populists and republicans fused Colonel Oates, the democratic candidate for congress, car- Tied the county by fifty-two majority. In 1894 the pops carried the county by about 800 majority, and that is what we must overcome.
 The nomination of Captain Johnston for governor has caused many of the pop ulists to return to the party, and should the national convention declare for free silver, which it will unquest.ona ply do, we are of the opinion that Dale and all of the wiregrass counties will go demo- cratic by good majorities.
 MT. Burdeshaw, who has returned to the democratic party, is young man of promise and influence. There are many more who are declaring openly that they will go no further, and who will be heard from through your columns.

AT PARTING IF THE WAYS Mir. Burdeshaw Can Follow the
 Pops No Further. THE SPECTER OF NEGRO RULE Waves Him Back-He Is Going to Vote for Johnston and the Entire Democratic
 Ticket
Skipperville, Ala, June 9, 1896

Skipperville, Ala, June 9, 1S96 To the State Herald:
 In 1892 left the democratic party be- cause l felt that the farmers (of which I am one) had grievances against the de- mocracy I felt that we were oppressed and that we should hunt some party where we could redress our wrongs. l joined the Jeffersonians, worked might and main for the success of the ticket headed by Captain Kolb Later on joined the populist party, and until few weeks since l have been doing what l could honestly for the success of the par ty. When the populist and republican state conventions were held in Montgom- cry and my party was swallowed up by the republicans, the old time en- emes of the south and the southern people, l thought 1t time to call halt. I have done so and am proud to say that l cannot foi- low my former leaders into the repuol- can party. l honestly favor the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, and believe that it will give us the relief we so much desire. The democratic party recently in convention assembled declared une- quivocally for free coinage, while the populist party in their convention de- clared for protection and straddled the financial question: and as I am opposed to protection and favor free coinage I shall vote the ticket headed by Capt. Joseph F. Johnston of Jefferson.
 Everything indicates that the national convention will declare for free silver, and if 1t should it would force all of the honest white people of Alabama togeth- CT. I am young man and have no per sonal knowledge of the condition of af- fairs during the reconstruction era, but have been told of the horrors and hard ships endured by our fathers and would be far from casting ballot which would bring about such state of af- fairs again. Very truly,
 JOHN w. BURDESHAW.

LARGE REGISTRATION IN PIKE.

The White Voters Outnumber Colored to
 l-"Coming Home" in Droves.
 Troy, June 11.-(Special.)-Th regis tration books are in and show a large registration all over the county. The total number of white voters registered is 30S1, the total number of negroes 1903, making in all 46S3. It will thus be seen that we have abou. two white men to every negro voter. The republicans, therefore, are about one-third of the number of the people that ought, to be, and as a rule are, democrats. While many of the good white people of this county have been voting the populite ticket, yet the recent vote of Candidate Goodwin, which showed that he favored negroes in preference to white men for office, will tend to send home many good men who might possibly have voted oth- erwise. Then, too, the report is current that negro by the name of Isaac Carter, from Butler county, will enter the race for congress from this district. This will have wholesome effect on white men in favor of white mans rule and the dem ocratic party.
 It is hoped by the democrats here that Captain Johnston will arrange to do some speaking in this section before the election He has many warm support CTS here, who are anxious to hear his winsome voice from the stump.
 County politics is cutting no figure now. People are very quiet on the sub ject.

 It is evident that deceit is again called into play to insure the election of the pop ulist ticket in August.

MT. Fitts' Speech at Blount Springs.

Blount Springs, June 11.--(Specia1)- The speech delivered here yesterday by the Hon. William c. Fitts is still the sub ject of much favorable comment It was indeed an able address. He showed that the democratic party was always and is now the only party through which the free coinage of silver can be obtained. and that it was useless to go off into by- paths when that party is the plain and open road to that end, and that we were now in sight of the result.
 On state issues he showed the conduct of the present administration in saving the peoples money, and upon the point of danger from negro rule he dwelt long and loudly, and especially brought out the fact of Goodwyn's vote to seat the negro Murray over Elliott from South Carolina.

Achilles sulked. but Achilles Is Dead.

UnlOnIOWn Herald
 It IS an unusual thing for democratic nominee, standing up democratic plat form, to be compelled to either defend himself or submit to attacks from papers claiming to be away up in democracy. However, this very thing has occurred here in Alabama. The candidate for gov ernor on the democratic ticket made a speech indorsing and embodying the ideas of the state platform. Thereupon he IS set upon by some of the leading papers, and an attempt is made to refute his arguments If this had been done by republicans or pops, we should not have been surprised, but we were amazed at such unseemly conduct on the part of leading democratic sheets. Whats the trouble? Are they sour or are they near to losing their grip on their party fealty |?
 In the election we need the help of every one, but if that is not to be had. let those who differ with the nominee for governor on financial questions pass over that part of the platform with which they do not agree at least in silence.
 Open opposition on their part might SOW the seeds of discontent In the breast
