age of rescue to vessel in distress which is signalling in the distance. Captain Lay points out to his friends that ''Old Hick- ory' once saved the people. and that MT. Bryan is destined to repeat the act, hence the apt way of grouping the pictures. MT Burnett will be our next representa- tive, judging from all present informa- tion, said Captain Lay. ITO do this, a full democratic vote will be necessary, and we have urged every democrat to go to the polls. The strict is composed of white democrats, and had it not been for fraud would never have sent a populist to con gress" Chairman Hood Is equally as enthusias- tic over MT. Burnett's chances.
 How He Will Be Elected "From every source of information &C., cessible we are led to believe that MT. Bur- nett will be the representative from this l district in the next house." said Chairman Hood of the congressional campaign com 1 mittee.
 MT. Hood impressed one with having done his work thoroughly. He had just finished sealing and stamping the last of big mail pouch full of letters addressed personally to every voter in the district and bearing the signature of MT. Burnett It is impor- tant to have every democratic voter at the polls and this measure was taken as pre- caution to arouse them.
 My figures" Chairman Hood continued, "are based on full democratic vote. There are eight count es in the district and I es-
 timate that Burnett will carry five out of
 that number. DeKalb county will be car ried by Burnett over Street by from 400 to 1,500 votes. He will beat Lathrop by from POO to 400. In August fhe populst candi- date for probate judge of DeKalb got less
 than 200 votes. The republicans in this county will support their nominee almost to man.
 
 lead Street in Etowah by from 300 to 600 votes. A great many populists will support him. Lathrop will be defeated by the dem ocratic nominee anywhere from 300 to TOO votes.
 "The contest in Winston will be close be- tween Lathrop and Burnett, with the chances in favor of the democrat Burnett will carry the county over Street by from 400 to 600 votes. Winston has been prior to the August election a republican county. 4
 We are assured that Cullman county, which is claimed by the populists will cast a vote of from 300 to 800 majority over Street. The race will be really between Lathrop and Burnett. Burnett will carry the county.
 "Street will be from 200 to 300 votes be- hind Burnett in Franklin. Burnett will beat Lathrop. according to conservative es- inmates, by 200 votes.
 ''In 1896 Howard carried St. Clair county over BULLOCK Dy oz5 pluranty. This is La throps home county and this time he will get many populist votes. Street will not carry the county over Burnett by more than 300 votes, and his plurality will be much smaller.
 "F'rom all reports. the populists have started in to steal Marshall county The probate judge of this county is Streets father and the circuit clerk Is also a pop ullst. Tn several precincts the democrats will not have an inspector Of course it is conceded that Street will get the county one way or another.
 Cherokee is Burnett's home county, and hundreds of poulists and republicans will vote for him. In 1886 the county gave How ard Se0 plurality, but it is estimated when the vote is counted next Tuesday that Bur nett will carry 1t by all the way from 100 to 300 votes. He can be elected with stand off in Cherokee. but believe he wlll car ry it. -a..l ..3s
