DEMOCRACY AND DINNER
Great Day for the People of I'm
ion Beat.
SEVERAL FINE SPEECHES
Time Was Good Naturally Divided with
PopuIite, Who Got Hard Rap-An
Amusing Feature.

Yesterday was a gala day for the peo-
pie of Union beat. Just over the noun
tain at Hickman's spring, in beat 25, the
simon-pure democratic men, women and
children had most enjoyable feast both
of oratory and good cheer
The announcement had been made that
such eminent speakers as DIR. r. M. Cum
ningham, Col. ]. ]. Altman, Capt. Frank
p. O'Brien, Daniel A. Greene and Lee C.
Bradley would be present to discuss the
political issues of the day at that noted
place, Hickman's spring, and in view of
their coming the good people of No. rs
prepared q sumptuous dinner, sufficient
in quantity and quality for all present.
There were visitors from Acton. Park
wood and Birmingham, and all were
welcomed and made to feel that their
presence WAS desired
In the forenoon the beat committee
man introduced Hon. Daniel A. Greene.
He made brilliant political speech, full
of sound democratic doctrine.
He was followed by Hon. Frank p.
OBrien, who made forty minutes
talk on local politics. His speech was
also likened to that of Mr.. Greene, and
both speakers were listened to with
marked attention.
AT the conclusion of these speeches
dinner was announced and all repaired
to the cooling shade of the trees around
the spring and enjoyed aldelightful old
fashioned democratic dinner.
After dinner Col. j. ]. Altman made a
speech, such as only he can make, which
lasted about an hour and a half lie
was followed by Dr. Cunningham in one
of his usual witty and eloquent speeches.
Among the visiting guests were num-
Der of populites, and among these Rev.
Mr.. johnson. The latter was called for
by some of his friends, but the master
of ceremonies stated that notwithstand-
ing 1t was a democratic affair, the people
would be pleased to hear from Mr. john
son. He was introduced and talked at
random for a time, introducing his re-
marks with the statement that it was his
first political effort and not in his line,
as he was a minister. He stated that he
always voted for whom he thought was
the best man.
Mr.. Lee C. Bradley, the doughty young
democrat, answered the reverend speak
err, and asked him If it was not a fact
that he voted in the democratic primary
at Pratt City and in so doing pledged
himself to support the democratic tick
ct, and If so why did he allow himself
to be named on the rep-pop ticket for an
office.
The reverend gentleman made no re-
ply.
This was the most amusing feature of
the day.
After the day had far advanced every
one returned to their respective homes
feeling that great good for democracy
had been accomplished.

A TALLADEGA MAN COT IT
Plan for the Girls Industrial
School Accepted.
BUILDING TO BEGIN SOON
Meeting of Executive Committee of the
Trustees in This City Yesterday at
instructions to Architect

The building for the Girls Industrial
school at Montevallo will be in course of
construction within thirty days Is the
opinion of the executive committee of
the trustees.
At o'clock yesterday afternoon
Messrs. T. S. Plowman of Talladega and
w. w. Wadsworth, two of the three
executive committeeman of the school,
held a meeting in the parlor of the Hotel
Morris, Committeeman Moody of Tuska-
loosa being absent. The object of the
melting was to inspect plans and specifi-
cations for the buildings. There were
four contestants on hand with plans, as
follows: D. A. Heinrich, Birmingham;
e. w. Walpoole, Talladega; Mr.. Bruce
of Bruce & Morgan, Atlanta; Mr.. Bryan,
Atlanta.
The plans by all the contestants called
for buildings to cost not less than $4,000.
Owing to the fact that the fund on
hand is not sufficient for the erection of
buildings of such a cost II was decided
to select the one which would allow of
a portion being erected at the present
time, the others to be added as funds
become available. 1t was, therefore. de-
cided to accept the plans submitted by
Mr.. Walpoole.
This gentleman was instructed to draft
d Separate pan VI the Illd4u puiiuii5 a.
once, and as soon as this is done bids
for erection of same will be advertised
for, and as soon as a sufficient number
will have been received the committee
will again convene, and the lowest and
most acceptable one submitted will be
decided upon and the work of construc-
ton ordered begun.
Mr.. PloWman was very much pleased,
so he sta ted to a State Herald repre-
sentative, at the prospects of having
ground broken for the building by the LIST
of August.
The buildings will be erected on
large hill in the heart of the town of
Montevallo, commanding magnificent
view, with a fine grove covering the en-
tire hill The school, he said, would be
credit to the state and an honor to.
Montevallo
When asked as to the fund for the
school, Mr.. PloWman said that while at
present it was not adequate, he hoped
that when congress reconvened the bill
which had already passed the senate and
was now in the house, granting 10000
acres of the public lands of Alabama to
the school, would be taken up and
passed.
Had Hon. CASTOR A. Robbins, he said,
remained in congress the bill would long
ago have passed the house and the fund
bettered by the acquisition of this land.
The land is estimated to be worth at
least 81 per acre, and this means 100000,
which will be adequate, with what is
already on hand, to build the necessary
houses and handsomely endow the insti-
tuition

A. Strange Picture in washpot.

DadeYille Herald.
"A washpot of Hon. ]. Ic. Jones, eX-
member of the legislature from this
county, has a picture in it of a woman
and an infant in her arms sitting down,
and near by is another with an infant in
her arms standing up. Turned in anoth-
er direction it shows bull-rushes and
sheep drinking water Still there is no
water in the pot.
1t seems that on the first day of last
Christmas Mrs. Jones sent her daughter
to the spring to build a fire under the
pot as she wanted to have some washing
done. Her daughter returned in a few
minutes and told her of the strange pic
ture. She was sent back and told to
pour the water out of the pot. which she
did; still the picture remained in the pot.
Several of our citizens, including Rev.
r. A. j. Cumbee and Commissioner Ger
many. have visited this strange scenery.
which is over the river, in Gold Branch
beat.
What caused the strange phenomena
is the question.

Mobile Takes Two Games.

Montgomery. July S.-Mobile took both
games from Montgomery today by supe-
rior batting at opportune times. Mont
gomery played good fielding game, ex-'
cept atone time in the second games In
the second game Mobile got three hits in
succession in one inning, with only one
man out, but could not get man across
the plate. Jevne's umpiring was simply
execrable, but he gave it to both sides
about alike. At one point he tried TO
raise difficulty with a spectator, which
would have precipitated a riot, as the
crowd had about reached the limit of it's
patience with his sorry work. Score: /.

THE MINORITY REPORT
VIII Indorse Cleveland's Financial Policy,
Ben Tillman Will Amend 1t.

Ben I1lln0n VIII Aufcuu IL.
Chicago. July S.--When the report OF
the committee on resolutions is made to
the convention a minority report will be
also presented indorsing the financial
policy of the Cleveland administration.
TO that Senator Tillman will offer an
amendment and address the convention
upon it for fifty minutes. Senator Till
mans amendment is in these words:
I'VE denounce the administration OF
President Cleveland as undemucratic
aud as a departure from those principles
which are cherished by all liberty-loying
Americans The veto power has peen
used to thwart the will of the people as
expressed by their representatives IN
congress. The appointfve power has
been used to substitute the press, to de-
bauch congress and to overawe ana con-
troll citizens in the free exercise OF their
constitutional rights as voters. A plu-
tocratic despotism is thus sought to be
established on the ruins of the republic
We repudjate the construction placed on
the financial plank of the last democratic
national platform by President Cleve-
land and, Secretary Carlisle as contrary
TO plain meaning of English words and
as being an act of bad faith, deserving
fbe severest censure.- The issue of bonds
in time of peace with which to buy gold
10 redeem coin obligations payable in
silver or gold at the option of the govern
ment and the use of the proceeds to de-
fray the ordinary expenses of the gov
eminent are both unlawful and usurpa-
lions of authority deserving fmpeach-
mer1t."
