Tuscaloosa, August H.-(Spcial.)-Last night several houses were raided in South port by burglars, who secured a mscel- laneous haul. The trunk slat factory owners made the discovery of their prem ises having been robbed rather early in the evening, and telephoned to Chief King of Tuscaloosa.
 MT. King immediately placed policemen in different parts of the town and 1t was not long before two of them near the A. G. s. depot discovered man making his way as rapidly as possible along the track with an immense package upon his back. They gave chase, trying to halt him, but after running some distance with his bur- den, he cast 1t to the ground and, taking to his heels, made his escape. When they opened the package they found the follow ing goods: Two pairs of shoes, one suit of clothes entire, one coat and vest one over coat, straw hat and one valise contain ing q shirt pair of trousers, coat and two razors. Sunday morning at the police head quarters there was a general distribution of dry goods and miscellany to the right ful owners The officers think they have discovered the robber in a man who is now behind the bars in the city prison.

CAFFEE BOOM CAUSES TALK

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gcmery, August A.-(Speeial) )-Governor Johnston returned to uhe capital this morn- ing from a trip to New York. He went di- rectly to his private office, and all the morning wa in consultation with his close friends. Whether politics was discussed was not learned as the governor was not talking for publication. He was too busy to see newspaper men.
 Among the governors callers were Audi tor White and Convict Inspector Booker, both of whom are mentioned as probable candidates for governor. Whether these gentlemen were seeing the governor to know if lhe was behind the Caffee boom cannot be stated, but certain it is that the mention of Judge Caffee's name in The Age-Herald a few days ago has caused some excitment among the cabinet mem bers. Several politicians about the capital tell me that I have Init the right nail on the head when l struck the Caffee boom. They discuss him as the logical candidate to lead the Johnston fight Judge Caffee has no yet been heard from, but he will have to speak out to hush up the discussion of his name.

COL, DENSON DEFENDS
 BRYAN ONsCRISP EPISODE

many times more degraded and depraved than Bryan would be, were the statement true
 Again, Crisp was living during the cam paign of 1896, and was a persistent, able and undaunted supporter of Bryan.
 Nothing was heard of this infamous charge during that campaign and while Crisp was living. Crisp is now dead the man, who in life, would rise up in the multitude and denounce as a cowardly and infamous islander this false accusation, more insulting and degrading to him than to Bryan.
 But the political buccaneers do not hesi- tate to rive open the cerements of the grave and hyena-like engage in the cow ardly and ghoulish instincts of besmirch- ing the name and fame of the dead to ac- complish their nefarious political diabolism. No honorable and brave men who has ever lived would for an instant believe that Judge Crisp would be so wanting in man. hood and self-respect, and lost to the unwavering love for his southland and her people as to be guilty of any such cow ardly and infamous conduct as is contain ed in this accusation against Bryan, and the accusation against Bryan cannot be true, and Crisp be exonerated from that criticism more degrading to his honor and fame than could be indulged against Bryan.
 No pure southern woman, no brave southern man, will ever believe such an inquitous accusation as this that ema- mates from the piratical crew at New York and from the piazza conference at Sara toga, to which or two of our south ern men are hieing themselves to partici- pate in its deliberations.
 Certainly any honorable southern news paper that gives publication to this dis graceful and degrading charge, involving the honor and patriotism of Judge Crisp, only to condemn it, is acting without due consideration of the evidence in the case, and as to the results of their conduct. Ger tainly they will not willingly become in struments in the hands of political scaven- gers to defame the dead and wound the living.

as learned and told by the officers is to the effect that two negroes, presumably living on the Tyson place, had recently vio- lated contract and were getting ready to leave the community. Saturday warrants were sworn out against both, and 1t seems that Pane deputized himself to execute tho papers. In company with a man named Moore, from Lowndes county, who was al- so looking for negro said to have stolen a horse, they were walking along the coun- try road just before midnight, when party of negroes in ambush fired upon them. One says there were at least fifteen negroes in the party, another says there were no more than eight ten
 There were but two shots fired, and 1t Is said one load was intended for Moore, but both took effect in Payne's body. Both white men had revolvers, but for cause un- known neither used them. The negroes fled into the woods and made good their escape. Grant Feagin, a negro, has been arrested, charged with the assault. He confesses having been in the party. Warrants have been sworn out for the arrest of three oth- CT negroes-Charie Robertson, David Campbell and Andrew Jones.
 MT. Payne is in a serious condition.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald. ,
 Hon. w. J. Bryan first entered congress
 in the Fifty-seeond congress, and was
 returned as a member of the F'ifty-third
 congress.
 Judge Crisp of Georgia, now dead, was
 the speaker of both these congresses. He
 appointed Bryan as a member of the ways
 and means committee of each of said con-
 gresses, making him one of the ranking
 members of that committee in the Fifty
 third congress.
 Bryan was a new member an inexperi-
 enced and unknown man, when he. was placed on said committee by Judge Crisp in the Fifty-second congress. As such he had no right or claim to such distin- guished honors and unusual precedence over older members, unless it was from
 his exalted character, pure life and fitness for the position that the able and astute | Crisp saw he possessed
 The statement now goes forth from New York and Saratoga, the headquarters for the operations of the anti -Bryanites, that Bryan refused to vote for Crisp for 1 speaker of the Fifty-second congress be- | cause Crisp was an ex-Confederate soldier. To believe this statement is true is l to believe and to blacken the charac- | ter and memory of Crisp, as one
 of the most. debased and despiseable
 of men, devoid of all honor all
 his manhood, and bereft of every senti-
 ment of appreciation of his Confederate 1 comrades, and brand him a traitor to
 the sentiments. the traditions and to the
 womanhood and manhood of his own
 southland that honored him, and placed l him in the highest niche of the temple of l fame.
 Reward Bryan with such exalted unusual l and unprecedented honors, knowing he 1 had given an unpardonable insult to
 Crisps manhood, patriotism and love of 1 country; that a reflection dishonorable to l every Confederate, had been hurled at and l placed under Crisp's nose and he dis charged with ineligibility for the speaker 1 ship, because of his being an ex-Confed- crate, Is to make Crisp man of the most repulsive character and nature, to be ab- l horred by all Confederates everywhere,

senator Lee Interyiewed

State Senator c. s. Lee, of Escambia, was in the city today en route to the wire grass region. Senator Lee says he is out of politics and is making a trip in the in- terest of his fellow townsman James Me- Milan. who is a candidate for state treas- urer. The senator said that his section was taking but little interest in state poli- tics outside of the home candidates. He lives in Stallings district and thought "Jess" the strong candidate in his section, although Cunningham and Waller were both strong. He had heard of no opposi- ton to Wiley for congress. and thought. 1t about useless for anybody else to an- nounce, as Colonel Wiley would make a strong run on his war record.
 Senator Lee said all was quiet about the big saw mills near Brewton, though about 200 men are still on a strike. About twenty of the strikers have been arrested charged with shooting Cheatham. superintendent of one of the mills, Friday evening" The men seemed determined not to return to work without an advance in wages. In the meantime two of the large lumber mills are idle.

Local Politics

The county campaign is opening in Mont gomery earlier than in any other county in the state. There are already more than fifty announced candidates for office in this county. To be chosen next year are four representatives, a sheriff, tax collector, tax assessor, treasurer and county superintend- ent of education. Remove few large ifs" and state senator will also have to be chosen. These ifs are first, if Stall- ings is nominated for governor and if Vii ley is chosen to succeed Stallings in con gress. In this event Representative Bibb Graves is slated to succeed Wiley in the senate. The slate is all made up, I am informed. But 1t may be in danger, for there is talk of Tennent Lomax opposing Wiley for congress. Stallings already has very serious opposition for governor, and Graves may find it an uphill job getting to be senator.
 The candidates for the lower house so far are: J. L. Fuller, w. T. Seibles, Ben F. Powell Harden Il. Fitts, Horace Hood, Hal Walker, B. H. Screws. Gordon McDonald c. T. McDade, Leonidas Davis and pr. Naftel.
 There are fourteen candidates for sheriff: James T. May, w. R. Waller, Ira Virgin, John Carter, w.. I. R. Thompson, J. H. Leigh, George Norman, A. J. Taylor J. w. Philer Peter B. Mastin, H. L. Stone, Sam Belser, H. c. Bllingslea and Buck John ston.
