SPEAKING AT sooTTsBoRo
Hon. Frank White and John H. Wallace
Address Large Crowd

Scottsboro, December 13.-(Special) Hon.
Frank s. White, of Birmingham, addressed
a large and enthusiastic crowd al the court
house tonight in the interest of Senator
Morgan.
The crowd manifested their sympathy
with Senator Morgan by giving the speaker
frequent rounds of applause. Colonel White
handled Governor Johnston and henchman,
Major Brandon, without gloves.
After Colonel White had finished Hon.
John II. Wallace, Jr., of Huntsville, ad-
dressed the crowd in very eloquent speech
of thirty minutes. He eulogized Senator
Morgan, and decried the efforts now being
made to turn the venerable senator down
for no other reason than that of gratifying
Governor Johnstons personal ambition.
His reference to Senator Morgan's ma
jority of 1900 In Colbert county last Satur-
day was greeted with tumultous applause.
When the applause had subsidized. Hon.
John F. Proctor, a Johnston man, called
out: Tell about Marshall county, john
to which Mr. Wallace replied quick as a
flash: Il speaking of democratic coun-
ties"
This sally senced the Johnston men. and
was greeted with cheers and applause by
nine-tenths of those present.
Upon the whole the impression made by
the speakers was very favorable. Morgan
will carry Jackson county next Saturday
by good majority.

Morgan Candidates for Legislature Re
ceive 1000 Majority

Tuscumbia, December 12-(Special.) -The
official count, made today of Saturday
primary election, resulted as follows: For
representative Delong received 997 major
ity; for sheriff, Charles Gassoway received
the nomination; tax assessor W. C. Hale
sapple; tax collector, II. A. Rand; treas
urer, Tracy Alternately.
The principal fight was for the nominal
ton for representative, as the vote ex-
pressed a choice for United States senator.
Deong, the Morgan candidate, received
1884 votes against 1917 votes for DR.. Nc
Whorter, the Johnston candidate. Nc
Whorter's personality no doubt was re-
srohsble for $50 of the votes he received
as large number of voters Who cast their
ballots for him were really Morgan men.
Ii is reported that some money was spent
in the interest Of the governor However,
your correspondent has been unable to learn
of material change the money made in af-
feeling the result. Had a full vote been
polled, Morgans majority would have been

reach heretofore.
Several important cases are to be tried
at this term. Among them is the case OF

Next Saturday the democratic primary
election will be held in Morgan county and
the time grows shorter the interest be-
comes greater, but it seems that Governor
Johnstons friends have about given up the
hope of carrying the county.
The recent rains have caused quite a rise
in the Tennessee river at this point, but
there is no danger yet of an overflow. All
the creeks are swollen.
Measles are prevalent here. Mr.. Woods,

GOOD RESULTS
The Rate Conference Promises to Bear
Fruit

AS a result of the conference in this city
on Tuesday between the Commercial club
transportation committee and the traffic
managers of the Ala bama railroads, it is
believed by a great many of those inter
ested that the roads will make modification
III their rates ON several commodities. The
traffic men intimated much while in
birmingham. Among the rates which it
is believed will undergo revision are those
on hay, live stock and fertilizers, and per-
haps q few others.
IAN Age-Herald reporter was informed
yesterday by an agent connected with the
freight department. of one of the Birmng-
ham roads that 1t was altogether probable
That the rate from western points on car
load lots of hay would be advanced. This
would protect the wholesalers In the state
against those in the west and enable them
to control the jobbing trade in the state.
This action, however, mas not been posi-
t.vely agreed upon, but has been discussed
by the traffic managers.

ANOTHER BATTLE
WITH THE YAQUIS
The Indians Were Surprised and
Lost Heavily
FOUGHT IN USUAL MANNER
The Mexican Loss Was Six Killed and
Twelve Wounded-The Soldiers
Retired to Open Plain When.
Darkness Approached

Austin, Tex, December 13.-Information
reaching here today from Ortiz, state of
Sonora, Mexico is to the effect that as
result of THE enga cement between the main
body of the Yaqui Indians and the Mexican
soldiers on December 3, reported in last
nights dispatches, there was a second en-
sagement between these forces on the
evening of December 4.
After the engagement near Rio Chico on
the Srd instant, the Indians beat a hasty
retreat to the mountain Businesses, along
the west bank of the Popphogfc river. which
is considered to be their stronghold. The
Mexican forces, fearing that If they were
given little time the Indians would Sc
cure reinforcements from the rowing bands
of Yaquis, who were out on depredating
tours, instituted forced march after the
re'treating Indians, and engaged them in
a second battle on the evening of Decem-
Der 4.
The soldiers did not come up to the In
dams until quite late in the afternoon, and
When they did arrive within firing distance
, of them. the Indians, after the first sur
prise, deployed as usual and opened up a
fight from behind rocks and trees man
fcr man, in the usual manner.
ne engagement, which was quite NlSOr-
Gus wilde 1t lasted, was brought to a close
| by darkness, after about three hours fight
| ing, and it is not known exactly how many
Indians were killed.
The loss among the soldiers is very small
not exceeding six killed and about a dozen
wounded The Indians probably lost twice
as mary, as the soldiers surprised them at
| the opening of the engagement and fired
one or two rounds before the Indians were
sufficiently rallied to get cover.
During the first onslaught some dozen or
mere Indians were seen to fall. Upon the
approach of night the hostilities ceased and
the soldiers at once retreated to the open
| ground along the prairie belt.
AT their post of observation in the open
| prairie the soldiers noticed quite a number
| of signal fires burning along the mountain
| tops and it was vc"y evident that the In
| dams were summoning scouting parties to
| their relief as rapidly as possible
The reports reaching Ortiz were to the
| effect that the Mexican troops would re-
new the hostilities at once in the hope of
| effectually discriminating the main body Of
| Indians before their allies could come to
| their assistance.
Although no further reliable information
| has been received since the engagement of
| the evening of 10th it is reported that a
third battle occurred on the 9Th instant
which was of brief duration.
