BIG DAY AT BROWNSVILLE
Maj. Culver, Commissioner of Agricul- ture and pr. Turner State Superin-
 tendent of Education, Make Talks.

Blountsville, May 19.-(special Corre- spondenee.) .)-Tuesday of the closing exercises of the Blountsville brarch agricultural school was a great day for lovers of knowledge and entertainment, for when the table is spread by such men as Maj. Gull yer and pr. Turner, surely he is a dys- peptic who cannot enjoy their well pre- pared and elegantly presented literary dishes
 At 10 o'clock a. m. Dr. Cary, of Auburn arose to address the people on horses. He gave a fine lesson on his subject, dealing at length on the form of the different parts of a horse when perfect; was his main theme. Next Prof. Baker came forward with the statement that perhaps bugs are sometimes closely al- lied to man. and deserve his study. He told ussof the two great divisions of bugs, the biting kind and the sucking kind, and how to poison each. He is perfectly versatile in "bugology." At II o'clock precisely stood before the people the tall patriotic form of Maj. Culver, desp with learning and broad with eXperi- ence; multiply these three dimensions to- gether and we have product worthy of our admiration. It Is to be hoped that none of the many farmers present will forget his words of wisdom and advice. The picture he drew of an ideal farm home should be burnt into the minds of farmer boys and girls, inspiring them to endedvor to make it real. t~at7
 After dinner amid applause pr. Turner bowed to the citizens, an act which to all who know him means a treat from the rostrum. To even outline his master discourse would take too much space. It is impossible to prune a vine so hch with fruit without doing violence to its yield Dr. Turner's plea for and defense of the public school system is beyond doubt one of the ablest docume nts.ever written on this subject. The great ability of this talented man in educational coun- cls has spread far beyond the confines of his state, and has caught the eye ef the northern magazine press, and what Dr. Turner has already done for education in Alabama will long be remembered by the children of this great state

Does this show a desire on their part for quietude arld peao.? Certainly not. Bu. it does mean in their desire to prejudice the vot- CTS against Gov. Johnston before he has hardly begun his administration, they are crea ting turmoil si- the time when everything should be quit. Gov.

No reasonab ble decision can be reached now. and it is to be hoped that the politicians will cease to sgitate politics and give the people a rest.-Goodw ter Advocate.

BLOCTON.
Railroad Work-Lilze Arrested-Tria1 of Pink Monkgomlry In Progress.

Blocton, May 19.-(Special Correspond ence.)-Our last legislature created a new road law for this and three adjoining beats, by which men subject 70 road duty could either pay $2 or work four days. The money has been paid for over a month and not lick of work has yet been put on the roads. The roads have been in a terribly bad fix all the year, and :here arg a good many very bad holes in shern. It seems that the commlS- sioners could have had these dreaded holes fixed and then ater on let out the contracts. They have the money at ,hair disposal.

HOW THEY TALK AT HOMIE.

The Mobile News, published at the home of Tax Collector Lott, priLss the following editorial in is issue of yester- day. The general public, who would naturally rather net belfsve all the grave charges published against the official can but see that possibly all .he charges nave not yet been told:
 The Herald speaks of 'the simui aneous attack upon tn: record of Tax Collector Lott in the columns of ahe MontgoIneFy Journal, Birmingham State Herald anu Mobile News" but really nobody has at lacked Mir I.o.tS record. If that record was not correctly stated, the columns Of the News are at the service of anyone who may desire to make correctiodlS. The Herald refers to MT. Lott as a 1alsn- full and homes. official, but does not un- de1'take to refute th= testimony or our Montgomery correspondent in regard to the record made by that official, but lIl- stead at empts to prejudice the pub!lc against the governor of ithis' state py lf- sinuating that there is on foot con- spiracy to oust the incumben. of the oifce of tax collector ard replace him with a favorfte of the governor; a conspiracy which would require the collision or grand jury of Mobile county, ths gov ernor, attorney-general and auditor of the state: an insinuation to which no one could give credience without wilfully dis regarding the record of proceedings against Mir Lott which antedats Gov. Johrston's induction into the office of chief executive. We do not believe that tho people of Mobile county can be aroused to hostility aga'frst the governor because he Is faithful to his oath of office and jealous in the enforcement of law. and who in the discharge of his duty is no respecter of persons, but treats all alike. We have seen no evidences Of popular displeasure, but many of the con trary sort.

If you go into Birmingham hard ware store and buy a lid for your stove to replace a broken one you will pay for it at the rate of 10 cents a pound. The iron of which the lid was made did not cost one-half cent a pound. Very probably it was Bi mingham iron shipped to Louisville, melted, poured into a mold, and shipped back as stove. The man. ufactured article costs twenty times as much as the raw material. Somebody outside of Birmingham gets this tre- mendous profit. We will always be hew- CTS of wood and drawers of water until we convert our raw material into the manufactured product. Our iron must be turned into stoves and our cotton into cloth.

MT. J. L. Cowan has about perfected plans whereby the Auburn dummy will be put in operation again.
