WORKING FOR SMITH.
An Evidence of the Way People Regard
 His Candidacy.

"As an evidence of the way the people feel toward Mir. Smith," said Manager w. J. Pearee, i've submit the following, which has just been received:
 Birmingham, Ala, March P, 1899. MT. Ross C. Smith, City.
 Dear Sir:-Your letter of March g., so- nciting my support for the office of mayor, received, and l assure you that will do all in my power for you. 1 certainly could not support man that takes advantage of the working class because the law al lows it. Such man might take advantage of the rest of the public if the law allowed him to. From my short acquaintance with you I judge that you are gentleman enough and intelligent enough to rule over our community. My two brothers think like wise, and I have some neighbors that am giving rest until they get on the right side of the fence.
 Hoping you will win with hands down (and 1t certainly looks that way now), remain yours respectfully,

Effort to Have Him Attend Washington
 Peace Jubilee.

Washington, March 22-A committee of citizens who are arranging for a peace jubilee in Washington next May called at tls navy department today to secure, if possible the attendance of Admiral Dewey on that occasion.
 Their application was made directly to Secretary Long, and they stated that the peace celebration will be an exception in the the fact that 1t is to be practically national in character, and this would just fly the request that the hero of Manila be summoned to attend. Tine secretary list ened with interest to what the committee had to say, and replied that he would con- fer with the president on the subject
 It would be a question, he said, simply as to whether or not the occasion would justify the admiral in leaving his duties at Manila.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
Was Considered Huge Joke, and Boys
 Were Voted For.

Guntersvlle, March 22.-(Special.)-Th Tennessee river is now higher than 1t has been in twelve years. Heavy rains have fallen almost ruining the uplands and flooding the low lands, consequently farm CTS have done nothing toward starting a crop. Communication is cut off from al- most all the precincts in the county so that no news has come in from Saturdays pri- maries. But from what can be learned, very few votes were boiled, and the entire vote boiled will not reach five hundred.
 In this precinct the constitutional con- vention was made a joke, and boys were voted for. w. P. Goodwin, who came out as a candidate only two days prior to the primaries, Is supposed to have been brought out by politicians for local pur- poses, and he was the only candidate in this county.

WILL TAKE APPEAL.
Interstate Commerce Commission Will
 Go to Higher Court.

Washington, March 22.-The interstate commerce commisson will appeal to the United States supreme court from the de- cison of the United States circuit court of appeals at New Orleans refusing an in- junction against the offending roads in the cases of the commission against the Vest ern and Atlantic Il one case and the Clyde Steamship company ct al. in two others, involving freight discrminations. It is doubtful if the supreme court will take up the appeal until it's next session.
 The circuit court decision rendered yes terday was not a surprise to the commis- sion, and the latter body does not attach much general significance to it, as it in wolves new principle and is in line with some previous rulings of the courts in that section, where it is asserted the long and short haul provisions are violated more than anywhere else. In these cases it is ex- plained at the commission that the court has simply held that the facts developed showed a competition of such force and ex- tent as to justify the greater charges for the short hauls than for the long ones, citing the principles first that competition may justify discrimination under certain circumstances, and, second, that each case of violations must stand on it's own facts, as held by the supreme court.
