 .o There are about forty farmers living at Midland City, in south Alabama, very near the Georgia line, who have clubbed to- gether, and Colonel Higdon has contracted with all of them to buy their crop at so much per ton. He will spend a greater part of June and July in that section of the state, experimenting the shipping of these melons to all parts of the United States The shipments will begin about June 20 which will be as early as the crops in any other part of south Alabama or Georgia.

UNION CARPENTERS
 OUT ON STRIKE
Would Not Work With Negro Trades Council Condemns
 the Contractor.

At a special meeting of the trades council last night resolutions were passed con- demning Contractor MeGireath, of At lanta, doing the work on Fies & Co., s new livery stable.
 The Carpenters union complained to the council that the contractor has employed a negro workmen and that when they pro- tested he turned deaf ear. As a result the union men stopped work and scab labor took the places of the strikers.
 The resolution follows:
 Whereas it has been reported to the Trades Council of the Birmingham dis trict that MeGilreath, contractor build ing FjeS S Co.'S livery stable in the city, has shown himself inimical to the union trades of this city;
 And, whereas said Gilreath has been asked to use none but union label upon said building, and whereas the said Me Gilreath has refused to place union car penters upon said building;
 Therefore, be it resolved, That the Trades Council in special session con- vened, do hereby indorse the action taken by the Carpenters and Joiners union, No. 556, and hereby condemn the action taken by said McGilreath."
 A committee of union men called on Contractor McGilreath yesterday afternoon anu IL IS Salu llal ue lulorHed lHeth 10 would employ whoever he desired. It is alleged he made the remark to the com mittee that all southern laborers were traitors
 President Lee, of the Trades Council said last night that McGilbreath had a contract to work on one of the exposition buildings, and was fired because he em- ployed negroes and non-union labor.

the unprecedented and magnificent fight made by the democracy in that year, with out money and without resources, and against the organized wealth and all the corporate influences of the land. You know that every vote cast for the democratic nominee for the presidency in 1896 was an unpurchasable, an honest vote, and you all know that a large proportion Of the votes cast against that nominee were had by purchase or by force Those who con- tended against the democracy in lS96, are morally afraid of the contest coming In 1900 Every supporter of a trust, every advocate of the gold standard, every ap- bondage to he present administration, is trembling with apprehension at the pros poets offered by 1900. They fear another open fight; they dare not go forth to meet it if it can be avoided, and the man who advocates tke omission of the plank favor ing the independer.. bmetallism at Is to in the democratic platform of 1900, and reliance upon a declaration against trustsa is seeking not the success of democracy in that year. but is seeking only to lure the democratic party from the only platform on which it can know success.
 Peculiar Plan for Broad Platform
 "There are those who go about not de-

 They mean to broaden democratic plat form by taking away part of 1t. They mean to surrender that for which We con- tended In 1Ss6 They mean to place the
 democratic party where the republican party now is, under the control and in the ownership of the organized wealth of the United States Those who go about espous- ing a plat form broad enough for all demo-
 crats to stand, mean that they want you
 to broaden your platform by taking out of it the plank favoring independent bi- metallism at 16 to l.

 Those who call themselves republicans today ought to take well to heart the words of Abraham Lincoln: I see in the near future a crisis approaching that un- nerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war corporations have been en- throned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of tho country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic is de- stroyed. I feel at this moment more anx- iety for the safety of my country than ever before even in the midst of war
 q suggest to those who call themselves republicans to compare those words with the words of Senator Hanna, the words of the secretary of war, MT. Alger, and the course of the nominal president, MT Me- Kinley. l am not one of those who be- lieve in denouncing President Mckinley. don't think he is to blame. l don't think he could help it. -f>don't believe he ever caused anything to happen since heewas born.

 Contrast Lincoln with Mckinley. Re member the lives that were lost, the blood that was shed, and property that was de- stroyed to bring freedom to blacks. Then remember that more of the helpless, harm less Fipinos have been shot to death by this administration in a few months time than were killed by the Spaniards in three hundred years, and then imagine what Abraham Lincoln would have done had he been conducting this administration These Filipinos have never harmed tbs country; they have never harmed or at

 SMASH THE SLATE.
 Woodlawn, May Sl, 1890. The undersigned committee, acting under instructions from a meeting of numerous citizens, held Monday night, hereby calls a meeting to be held in the city hall of Woodlawn, Ala, at p. m. Thursday, Juno l, 1S99 of all citizens interested in tho vel fare of our town, and opposed to ring rule and west pocket tickets.
 The object of this meeting is to scuss the situation and to receive the report of a committee appointed to confer with the supporters of the Cobb ticket, in order to secure harmony, and if that cannot be secured on just and equitable terms, then to adopt a platform and to nominate can- didates for mayor and aldermen, who shall fairly represent the people-"the masses as well as the classes" and who are not the selection of any secret and self-ap- pointed caucus.
 (Sgned) Ed. N. Wood, chairman; c. F. Burris, W. J. Parkes G. A. Gibson, J. R. Griffith, J. w. Boggs, I. c. Daloney, o. D. Freeman.
 Those who are opposed to the citizens ticket headed by former Governor Cobb, held a meeting Monday night, and besides indicating ticket to fight the Cobb forces decided to submit harmony proposition to them to the effect that the Cobb ticket should keep their nominees for mayor and aldermen of the Second, Fourth and Sixth wards, if the opposition be permitted to name the aldermen from the First, Third, Fifth and Seventh wards. The Cobb peo- pie held a meeting Tuesday night to consid- CT this proposition, and decided not to ac- cept it. Up to last night, however, they had not officially notified the opposition of their refusal
 As has been stated, John B. Burris was "indicated" by the opposition as their can didate for mayor, but who the candidates for aldermen will be are not known until the meeting tonight. It is said, however, that they have been selected with much more care, politically, than were the nomi- nees of the citizens ticket Two of the proposed nomigees, it is stated, are Metho- dists, two are Baptsts, two Presbyterians and one a non-churchman. As regards oc- equations, two of them arc railroad men, two are merchants, one a doctor, one a clerk and one a machinist

 Tt is contended by some that the demo- cratic national convention of 1900 should omit from it's platform the declaration in favor of independent bimetallism at 16 to 1, and should rely upon a declaration against trusts.

Allusions to Eden in the Old Testa-
ment literature are extremely scarce,
and the story OF Ewes temptation first
assumes prominence in the writings of
st. Paul. The marks of Zoroastrian
thought in it have often been pointed
out. This garden of Eden is a true Per-
sian paradise, situated somewhere in
that remote wonderland of Aryana
NaeJo to which all ranian' tradition is
so fond of pointing back. The willy ser
pent is genuine Parsee serpent, and
the spirit which animates him is that of
the malicious and tricksome AhrIman,
who takes delight in going about after
the good creator Ormuzd and spelling
his handiwork. He is not yet identified
with the terrible Satan, the accusing
angel who finds out men S evil thoughts
and deeds. He is simply mischief
maker, and the punishment meted out
to him for his mischief reminds one of
many curious passage in the beast
epochs of primitive peoples. AS in the
stories which tell why the mole is blind
or why the fox has a bushy tail, the ser
pent's conduct is made to account for
some of his peculiar attributes. AS a
/ punishment he is made to crawl upon
his belly, and be forever an object OF
especial dread and loathing to all the
/ children of Eve.-John Fiske, in At
lantic.
