Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Bango, Ala, July 4.-This day has been celebrated by the people for ten miles around here as a truly Fourth of July. Be- fore o'clock Bangor Cave park began to receive the people who were to celebrate here, and by 10 o'clock fully 2500 had as- sembled. This was joint celebration of the Fourth and opening of the democratic campaign for this county.
 Judge J. H. Montgomery, of Birmingham, and Hon. Ollie Steele, of Oneonta, demo- cratic nominees for the state legislature from this county, were the speakers of the occasion.
 Hon. T. B. Hall, the county chairman, presided. He introduced Judge Montgom- cry and told the people that he hoped that they would one day have the opportunity to vote for him for congress. Judge Montgom- cry, in his opening remarks, thanked MT. Hall for his kindly wish, and assured him that his ambition was no greater than to march in the rank and file of the great democratic procession; that the usefulness of MT. Underwood in that responsible posi- tion was just begun, and he favored his re- tention for a long time to come. He dis cussed the state administration, and show ed that Governor Johnston had come up to the full expectation of all his friends and all the pledges of the democratic party
  for economy, equal distribution of taxa tion and faithful performance of law, was not surpassed by any governor since the war, but on the contrary, is far more cred- table than any; that the reelection of Governor Johnston was decidedly to the benefit of the public service He urged the people, without reference to party affilia- tions, to ndorse his economic admnistra- tion and re-elect him governor.
 Judge Montgomery discussed the present Hispano-American war, and told the peo- pie that the greater part of the territory added to the thirteen original states was done during democratic administrations, and that 1t was both the policy of the dem- ocratic party and the genius of our insti- tutions to acquire such additional territory as our commercial interests required, and that the acquisition of Texas in 1S45 from Mexico, friendly government, was full illustration of the fact that this govern ment regards the advancement and pro- motion of her commercial interests, civili- zation and humanity far more than she does a dictum laid down more than hun dred years ago. That commerce, civiliza- tion, humanity, all demanded that we add the Hawaiian and Philippine islands to our possessions, and give to Cuba an independ- ent government
 The speaker was listened to very atten- lively, and frequently applause was given to his ideas of extending our possessions.
 MT. Steele spoke in the afternoon, and discussed with force the present conditions in our nation, state and county. MT. Steele will be elected, and will make good rep resentative.
 This has been a great day for the peo- ple of Bangor and the surrounding coun- try-the most enjoyable in her history by her home people.

Special Dispatch to The Age-IIerald.
 Tuscaloosa, Ala, July 4.-The Evening Times announces Colonel Newton N. Glenn ents candidacy for the democratic nomi- nation for governor in 1900, in the follow ing:
 t"It has been generally understood that the Hon. N N. Clements is logically the party's candidate for governor two years hence. His friends urged him to become candidate this year, but he declined to oppose Governor Johnston for the second term, having too, difference for demo- cratic precedence which accords a faithful servant a second term. But now, there is nothing in the way; and he has determncc ( to be in the race for governor two years from now. His friends are alive and ac- tive in pressing his claims, and to our mind he is now the strongest man in Ala bama for the place."

 didates

Special Dispatch to the Age-Herald.
 Wedowee, July 1.-The populist and re- publicans met at Wedowee on Saturday to nominate ticket for Randolph county. A committee from each party was appointed to meet together and decide on a plan by which the two parties could unite. At 1 o'clock the committee reported that they had agreed to give the populists the office of probate judge and the republicans the probate clerk, sharing alike the receipts of the office; the republicans the circuit clerk and the popuists the representative. The republicans received the report of the com mittee and adjourned to await the action of the populist convention.
 The populists met and nominated J. P. Harris for probate judge and J. c. Mar shall for representative The republican convention was then notified of the nomi- nations of the populists. A motion was made to ratify the action of the populists and was by a large vote rejected. The republicans then proceeded to nominate a full republican ticket.
 Randolph county now has three tickets in the field and with a strong indication for the democrats to win by a good major ity. The democrats have a strong ticket, and unless there be some material change we will elect the full democratic ticket The populists and the republicans are much divided in our county now.

 DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I cannot be- gin to tell you how I suffered before taking your remedies. I was so weak that could hardly walk across the floor without falling. I had womb trouble and such bearing-down feeling also suffered with my back and limbs, pain in womb, inflammation of the bladder, piles and indigestion. Before I had taken one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound felt great deal better, and after taking two and one half bottles and half box of your Liver Pills I was cured. If more would take your medicine they would not have to suffer so much"

 ''DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I have sui fered with womb trouble over fifteen years. I had inflammation, enlarge ment and displacement of the womb. I had the backache constantly, also headache. and was so dizzy. I had heart trouble, it seemed as though my heart was in my throat at times chok- ing me. could not walk around and could not lie down, for then my heart would beat so fast 1 would feel as though l was smothering. I had to sit up in bed nights in order to breathe. 1 was so weak I conld not do any thing.
 ''I have now taken several bot ties of Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, and used three pack ages of Sanative Wash, and can say I am perfectly cured. do not think I could have lived long if Mrs. Pink hams medicine had not helped me. }

Special Dispatch to The Age Herald.
 Courtland, July 1.-The congressional campaign in the Eighth district is warming up. Judge William Richardson spoke here Saturday to a fair audience. He made no fight on General Wheeler, and conceded this, Wheeler's home county, to him. Those who heard the speech are almost convinced that he comedies the district to Wheeler, should he be in the race. The democrats of Lawrence have never before been so unanimous for General Wheeler as this year, and should he offer for the presidency. he could poll nearly the whole vote of the county, of all parties. With the democracy of this county the general Is the most popular man in the world In the event General Wheeler is not a candidate, Judge Richardson will have a splendid chance to carry this county.
