is SENATOR TURPiE ENGLISH
Testimony ON a Matter Which He Chooses
to Leave in the Dark.

During the Chicago cow ention, when
there was talk of nominating Senator
Turpie Of Indiana for vice president the
report was started that Turpie's refusal
to permit his name to go before the
convention was not due to his loyalty to
Governor Matthews, but because he was
ineligible, not being a native of the
United States. Both his age and his
birthplace have always been a mystery
to even his best friends.
The Congressional Directory contains
no information ON these two essential
points in the senator's life. An encyclo-
pedia sketch, written years ago. gives
his birthplace as Hamilton county, o.,
and the date as July, 1929. He was
graduated from Kenyon college in 1848,
however, and it is said that he was
born at least five years before 1929
Milton Stills, a pioneer of White
county, living near Monticello, comes
out with the statement that Senator
Tupie was born in london. Stills says
that he challenged Mr.. Turpies vote in
White county before 1860, while Mr..
Turpie was living near him, on the
ground that Mr.. Turpie was not voter,
not being a naturalized citizen. Mr..
Turpie then produced his naturalization
papers, which he had recently taken out
in White county. New York Tribune.

DIAMOND ON A WEED.
Queer Way in Which a Valuable Ring
Was Found by q Girl.

After having given up all thought Of
ever finding valuable diamond ring,
which he lost in a singular way four
years ago, Robert Croft, chief clerk
in the Pennsylvania railroad Office in
Philadelphia, living at Berlin, N. j.,
recovered the jewel on Thursday. Mr..
Croft was swinging indian clubs on the
lawn at his farmhouse on one NOvem-
Der evening in 1892 when the ring
slipped from his finger and was lost in
the grass. Despite the careful search
made by Mr.. Croft and two farmhands
the ring did not come to light. The
next day the plot of grass was carefully
raked off and after being carefully ex-
amined the grass and dirt were deposited
on a compost heap in the barnyard.
During the winter portion Of the COM
post was transferred to the farm of Mr.
Peacock, two miles away.
While playing in some weeds on the
Peacock farm Thursday afternoon 12-
year-old daughter of Farmer Morgan
noticed bright spark on rank weed
stalk about two feet from the ground.
Upon making a closer examination of
the weed she found it encircled by
gold ring in which was set the spark
that dazzled her eyes. She realized that
the ring was valuable, and, breaking
the weed off, she ran into the farmhouse
with it. Everybody in the neighborhood
had heard of Mr.. Croft losing his ring
four years ago, and owing to It's value
the incident was remembered by his
neighbors.
The little girls parents recalled the
loss, and upon Mr.. Croft return home
from his Office in the evening he was
overjoyed at finding the long lost dia-
mond again safe.
Mr.. Croft priced the ring as a gift
from the head officials of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company beyond its real
value, which is said to be $3.50. Phil
adelphia Times.

into a yard in the hope that some bad small boy might cut his foot upon them.
 There was no Work for him that day. His heart was not in it. He could not have won a case in a justice court, much less have secured an affirmance in the supreme court. He was full, chock full, of indignation. Beside this piece of van dalism-this throwing of broken glass in the way of the wind stuffed tire-the re- cent lynching which marked Montgom- ery's monotony paled into significance. In his mind nothing so terrible has hap pened in this city in recent years, and fon nearly a week now he has neglected all else in an effort to find some law, state or national, under which he can have thej inhuman vandal who threw that glass in the street adequately punished. If he cannot find any statute authorizing pun ishment for this offense, 1t is probable that he will announce for the legislature just to get that kind of a protective law on the books. He acknowledges it all goes to show how a mans opinions are influenced by matters of interest to him self. Three months ago he would not have considered the breaking of bottle an atrocity.

 Adger Feb. 24.-(Special) )-The Knights of Pythas of Adger celebrated the thir- ty-third anniversary of their order in knightly manner February 19 by treating their ladies and friends to a sumptuous banquet, which was greatly enjoyed by more than 100 persons.

They were so pretty that they made white aprons look charming and it seemed that they were proud~of their occupation for the night as they wore thin aprons in the grand march to distinguish them as wait CTS.

 The weather for the last week has been all that could be desired by farmers for preparing their land for crop, and they have taken advantage of it. They are well up in their preparations, and the planting of corn will begin next week.
 There were about 800 bales of cotton in the warehouse at the depot on the 1st of the month. Nearly all of it has been sold and shipped There is less cot ton in the county at his time than was ever known in the history of the coun- ty.
 large number of our people attended mardi gras in Birmingham and came back delighted with the turnout in the Magic City. If a better schedule on our railroad could be had, so our citizens could go to Birmingham and return the same day, good deal of trading would be done by them with your city. But they are deterred from the trip by hay ing to stay over at Akron all night going and returning.
 The friends of Johnston are delighted With his speeches, and claim he is an over match for Clarke The canvass in this county is beginning to warm up, and we are going to have lively times here before it's close Our town was full of politicians yesterday and there was a great deal of caucusing going on. Dr. Browder was here in the interest of MT. Clarke, and is very sanguine his friend will carry the county. The friends of Captain Johnston are equally sanguine their friend will be the winning horse.
 The republican executive committee met here yesterday, but We were unable to find out what was done by the com mittee There are only two white repub- licans in the county-W. W. Jones, who is one of the old landmarks of the party. and Thomas Hilton, latter day convert. It is rumored that the latter wants to represent Hale in the next assembly. Our opinion is the republicans in this county are waiting to see what the pops are going to do in the matter of fusion. The executive committee of the populsts will meet on next Saturday, and early in March there will be a meeting of the members of the party at Liberty church, in north Hale. when the question of fu- sion will be settled. We repeat what we have said heretofore. that we do not be- lieve the populists will fuse with the publicans. but it is probable they will get out a county ticket of their own.

The committee decided to hold beat meetings April Il to select delegates to the county conventions that the con- venton would be held at Oneonta April IS to elect delegates to the state and sen atorial conventions and to nominate a full county ticket. The executive com mittee was pleased with the rulings of the state committee to hold an early county convention and declined to put off nominating a county ticket until some time in May or June, although there was g. considerable effort made on the part of one or two members to have the naming of the democratic county ticket post poned. The chairman. Dr. Hudson, fa- vored beat primaries to nominate the county officers April II, but the commit tee thought it would be best to nominate in convention. Much interest was mani fested and considerable effort will be made to carry Blount county for the democratic ticket in August. There were a good many Clarke men at the meeting, but Blount will go as she did in 1894, for red-headed Joe Johnston.

The Committee Makes Second Effort ant
 No Quorum Present.
 Brewton, Feb. 24-(Special)-The county executive committee was called the second time to meet here Saturday with the same result as the last call only four out of nine members being present.
 The ones who were here said they did not constitute a quorum, but at the same time they decided that they had the DOW CT to call a convention One member en- tered his protest against such an un- usual proceeding. It is thought by some people here that the absence of the ma- Jority of the members is because of the influence of the goldbug element of our county, thereby hoping to force a con- vention-a convention being the only hope to carry Escambia county for Clarke.
 As stated some time ago in a communi- cation, even the strong Clarke support CTS admit that if a primary election is held that this county will fall into the Johnston column.
 A prominent citizen of our town dur ing the last three weeks has interviewed nearly every voter in this precinct, which includes Brewton, Alec. East Brewton and Kirkland, as to their preference for convention or primary, and he says that two out of three are for a primary There is some tall kicking being done and we shall see what we shall see
 At Alec Saturday evening after the re- suit of the committee was known a Johnston club was formed with fifteen members in fifteen minutes. They say they propose to have a big rally next Saturday night. It is made up of some of the best citizens of our sister city and the promoters say they are in for business and will strike from the shoulder.
 If "Blue-Eyed Dick" carries Escambia county he and the Advertiser will have a big job on their hands, and as we only have three votes in the state convention we think they will give us up.
