A Gretra Green Affair-The Sky a Can opy Beneath Which the Wedding Of
 Two Young People Took Place.

Letohatchie, Ala, April 19.-(Special)- Our town of sensa tions had a regular Gretna Green affair today in the mar riage of MT. F. c. 'Arlidge a very popular telegra ph operator of this place, and Mss Rec Merriwether, of Morganville. a pretty 15-year-old girl. It seems that after securing the license there was some misunderstanding as to having a minis ter on hand, Rev. MT. Williams, of this place, being at the time at Sandy Ridgs, a distance of seven miles from here. The contracting parties, accompanied by friends, Messrs. Will Payne, J. H. Payne, Jim Powell and E. M Rogers, set out to find the preacher. The party met Rev. Williams about three miles from town. and there under the blue canopy of heaven in a pretty grove on the side of the road the two were made man and wife. The bride is a. granddaughter of the late Hon. J. N. Gilmer. of Lowndes county and is beautiful girl.
 There were some objections to the match hence the runaway.
 The good weather has very much fa- cilitated farming; cotton is up to a good stand. .#

BIRMINGHAM BANQUET.

At the banquet in Birmingham last right Gov. Johnston showed what awful things may come out of a bad egg. De mocracy," he said, was eternal. It had in the south withstood all the rav- ages of war and yet come out stronger than ever. It had gone through the Greeley campaign and come out vital and vigorous. But the democratic party had done something greater than that. The republican hen had laid an egg in the democratic nest and matched out a cuckoo That cuckoo was Grover Cleve- land. The democratic party had survived even this blow. and that was sufficient attestation of it's eternal vigor and vii tality"-Mobile News.

THE aIlABoR TRUST" :"

A New York educational journal pub- nshed weekly flor boys and girls" and entitled "The Great Round World com menting upon the case of one Curran, who claimed to have been blacklisted by the Knights of Labor has thlls to say about the Labor Trust:"
 This Labor. Trust has been one of the most dangerous of all the Trus s, be- cause the members of it have made it a practice to force every workman to join it. ou else freac them as it treated Cur ran
 ThGs is in line with i.he attempt to make the sherman antitrust law, under the recent decssion of the supreme court, apply 70 labor unions. IA local Wall street advocate says upon this subject:
 The supreme court that has decided thaf a railroad arrangement to fix and reduce "a tes of transportation Is unlaw- ful will decide, according to the news paper syllabus of the opinion, that a trades uIiion is an unlawful combination, in res rairt of trade and against the good of society. IA trades union is organ ized to advance the value of an article eyoma what it would be in other and natural circumstances and conditions. A trades union is organized to fix the price of lasbm and to fix 1t as high as possible.
 To properly estimate the meaning of all this, it is neceeeary to go back to first principles. What is this fight, which takes on so many aspects and which IS setting the world In array2 It is the fight of he Man againsl. the Dollar. or Human Life against inanimate Money.
 Tfsthere be Labor Trust what is Tt? It is a trust of mer-of fathers, sons ana brothers, representing countless homes where wives and children anXiously await the issue, as opposed 70 an aggre- gaaion of millions of dollars, with conn paratively few human beings behind them.
 What is this labor" th1s ''nrticie' which the 'sI labor Trust" strives to en- nance in value? 1t is the time, the SKILL, the anxiety, the peril and the sweat or the workers. Ut is their all It has been treated Jas a. "commcilty, 10 be juggled with and depreeialted or raised in V2lue Nl<e any other commodity on the market This is the most infamous and bafeful error of a commercial age. It has cause q more misery and ill-will than any ether single cause in the worlds history It has fa,sifen the axiom that the laborer is worthy of his hiyle. and substituted TOT 1t the doctrine that the worker need only be paid eonpe ttve wages, even if they be starvation wages
 The so-ca He'd Labor Trust is ira te.rnar orga ndzattion formed to carry out inc law of self -defense-the first law of nature And it's object is not to pile dod- Ir,r,s upou dollars. Its object is to main- tain the home for wife and children v,h,s,h is the foundation stone of the so- ciai structure.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur- pose. namely, receptaele for the urine, and as such 1t is not liab.e to any form or tiisease except by one or two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from care less local treatment of other diseases.
 CHIEF CAUSE.
 Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid neys is the chief cause of bladder troub- les and suffering so painful to many that life is made miserable. The womb like the bladder was created for one purpose and if left alone it is not liable to become diseased, except in rare eases. When Tn position the womb is situated back Of and very close to the bladder, and for that reason any distress, disease or inconVen- fence manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided by paying little attention to the condition of the urine (see pampn- leD.

rup porTERs KEPT STILL.

From the indications already cropping out those democrats who bolted the ha-
 tional democratic ticket last year, are
 not going to find it as easy as they mlgnc
 suppose to again take part in party coun-
 cil.
 Some of the leading democrats in
 majority of the states are speaking very
 plainly on the subject already and the line is being drawn in the municipal con tests. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch prints the following view of the situation from State Chairman Cook, of the Missouri democratic executive committee:
 ''Tn the able and thoroughly democrat ic address of Democratic State Chairman Cook before the city democratic commit tee, he declared that TO man, not reg u1ar" democrat, was entitled to pertlcl- rate in the meeting. No man, said MT. Cook, whose democratic loyalty IS open to doubt, should take part in any dem ocratic party conference or be member of any party committed
 A clearer invitation to those members of the committee who bolted the party last year, to withdraw from the meet ing and resign from the committee could
 not have been extended. Not one of
 them, however, acted upon the sugges- ton so forcibly conveyed. They main- tained silence not without it's eieqaence to those who Know tnelr dlllLuue anu identity. Such silence means. if it means anything, that they would rather be. kicked out than walk out, if forced to a choice between the two methods of de- parture. -'.---
 The only Meriwether man in the com mittee was more sensitive. He arose
 and declared that he had supported Meri- wether in the Ia te campaign, and felt that
 he had sacrificed nothing to his demo-
 cratic principles in the act. MT. Cook insisted that he ought to get out, but we can imagine what Mir. Cook would have
 said. if one of the bolters of last year had declared himself. He would have
 said that men who desert their party and
 its platform in a campaign vital to it's existence; who repudiate it's declared principles, aid it's enemies and assist in the triumph of doctrines of government opposed to every tenet of democracy can have no present place in the party fur ther than the rear ranks.
 The Merwether democrat was honest, but oversensitive. Mr. Cook meant what he said in saying that no bolter should hold 8 place in party councils, but we cannot doubt that the bolters he had most clearly in mind were those who | struck at the party in the hour of it's l greatest trial, and not only at the party 1 but at it's hisoric principles.
 The Hanna bolters took the lash in si- I lence. It is never the spy in camp who takes means to attract attention to him. | self" ss.s. .. ss.
