We find the following paragraph wri

We find the following paragraph writ
ten by Mary Sidney in the Farm Journal:
"Farmers can see their business decline
with great complacency, but to see the
political party that overtaxes and OPP
presses them losing power is too much.
They can see their wives and children
overworked and destitute of comforts
without laying awake at nights to fret
about it; but it would grieve them beyond
measure to not return to legislative halls
those men who vote to increase already
large salaries and create new offices to be
supported by the peoples money that is
needed at home"
There is no class of the industrial COM
munity so politically untrammeled as the
farmers, by pressure from other interested
classes, and who could enjoy a political
independence that would make them the
most potent political influence in the
country. And there is no other distinct
industrial class that could make that pc
litical independence rebound to their
pecuniary benefit if intelligently exer-
cised, as the farmers, but they are the
most party-bound of all classes in the
country. The farmer should know no
political party as his party, but should
hold the balance of power and control all
parties. This he has the power to do and
it would be to his interest. But in place
of occupying this commanding position
in society and the state he deliberately
sacrifices his dearest interests, his prop
erty and the welfare of his family to a
party bigotry that is almost superstition.
With thousands of farmers the party
passion is a superstition, which disarms
them of moral courage and leads them
captive.

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
ILL.,, makes the statement that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for month
by her family physician, but grew
worse. He told her she was a
hopeless victim of consumption
and that no medicine could cure
her. Her druggist suggested
DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption; she bought bot
tie and to her delight found herself
benefited from first dose. She con
tinued its use and after taking six
bottles, found herself sound and
well; now does her own homework,
and is as well as she ever was.

covery at DIR. l.. r. Kinks drug

SchIey's Traducers Triumphant
VindicatiOn.

From the Washington letter tC
the Baltimore World
The frank, straightforward, man
ly letter of Admiral Schley in an
swer to the insinuations of coward
ice, made in Secretary Longs state
ment to the Senate, has strength
ened the cause ofSchley, and added
to the already overwhelming num-
bers who have never lost confidence
in his bravery and efficiency.
1t has also stirred up public in
dignation to the highest pitch
against the intriguers who, through
envy and malice, and for political
reasons, conspired to besmirch the
good name of Schley.
Senators, Representatives and
people in all pursuits of life do not
hesitate to publicly stamp their
disapproval upon such an open and
diabolical effort on the part of those
high in authority to blast brave
man, a man who has cOurageously
met every emergency, and to whom
they believe the defeat of Cervera' s
fleet at Santiago was due.
They also condemn in no uncer
tain terms the action of Admiral
Sampson in suppressing a part OF
the correspondence upon the sub
ject of the chase for and discovery
of the Spanish fleet.
They argue that as Sampson was
the only man to be benefited by
the suppression, the act was one OF
malice, aforethought, born of a
jealous disposition, to maintain the
supremacy over Schley, to which
he had been promoted through
partisan prejudice and in violation
of law.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube is infanied
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inAamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catsrrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

Bad Beef.

The investigation going OIL into the
quarter masters department of the army
is showing up a state of jobbery and mis-
management which the Spanish service
could scarcely equal. The canned beet
was very bad and without exception the
witnesses condemned 1t made the men
sick. Many of the soldiers threw their
rations away Nearly all the officers
support the charges made by Gen. Miles,
and they speak from personal experience.
There was not so much complaint of
the refrigerated beef.
The Administrations efforts TO disgrace
Schley and Miles prove signal failures.
Alger, Eagan and Mckinley are likely to
be the parties who will rest under public
condemnation.

Effect of the Cold on the Fruit Crop

When the thermometer falls to
100 below zero the peach bud can
not live. Mr.. William I. Kelley,
of Preston, Caroline county, who is
authority on peaches, says every
peach bud is killed in that section,
where the mercury fell to Ito below
zero. OF other fruit Mr.. Kelley
says =
"Apples, pears and other small
fruits are yet uninjured to any great
extent. Strawberries have been
nicely protected under the snow,
and we may predict great crop OF
this fruit, also heavy apple crop,
from present indications. Pears,
especially Bartlett's, have but few
fruit buds putting forth, but they
rarely bear two full crops in sue
cessiOn.
"Now, as to this late snowstorm,
it has been the greatest since 1881.
Then it was four feet on level
this year about % inches on a level,
and drifted some, but not as much
as in March. 1888, or the great
snow which commenced falling on
the 25th day of December, 1857,
which was the greatest except this
1881. The coolest day in 20 years
to my certain knowledge, was on
the 9th day of January, 1881. My
thermometer then registered POS
below Zero.n

Trusts multiplied more rapidly last year
than ever before and having eaten up all
individual enterprise and business, have
commenced devouring one another. The
big trusts are eating the little trusts.
England is said to be full of trusts.
Wherever the "gold standard" exists
trusts multiply and individual enterprise
decays.
The Philadelphia Press says the great
show of capitalizing trusts is largely on
paper; owners of old mills and plants
appraise their own property at cost and
the trusts issue stock on these valuations
which are double to four times their real
worth, and the public who invest in such
stocks will by and by pocket the loss.

BRYAN is in the lead for the Presidential
nomination in 1900 by all that will in the
future stand for the Democratic party and
the opposition of the combined trusts,
monopolies and money oligarchy that
hold the Republican party helpless,

interest. Mckinley is balancing like a
slack-rope walker to capture the nomina-
ton of the money power in 1900.

Duties of Members of Woman's
Board of the State Fair

Mrs. L. Crozier-F French, the secretary of
the woman's board of the State Fair, in an
interview yesterday spoke of the general
interest which the woman's side of the fair
has aroused. The fact that the letters
sent out by the secretary to the prominent
women of Alabama have met with such
prompt response indicates a spirit of CO.
operation which means nothing short of
success. The various vice presidents and
county representa- tives who were appointed
have accepted. and most of the preliminary
steps have been taken.
The secretary is in receipt of many let
tiers asking for instruction as to the duties
OF the associate vice presidents and county
representatives. 1t was at first decided to
issue a circular letter in answer to these
Inquiries, but this matter has been placed
in the hands of the press women of the
state, whose departments in the daily ana
weekly newspapers reach the women who
are interested in the womans part of the
fair:
THE woman's board" said Mrs. French
yesterday, requested probate judges to
appoint woman to represent their re-
speetive counties, their duties being to
use every means to awaken an interest in
| each county, in the State Fair; prominent
active, enterprising men and women VIII
without doubt feel an interest and pride in
having their county make a creditable ex-
| nibit at the fair. While the women APP
| pointed by the probate judges represent
| each county the woman's board, the
| associate vice presidents represent the
woman's board in the different sections of
the state. The territory of vice presidents
is not definitely defined They are expected
to work wherever they may find the need
of arousing the peoples interest. Several
vice presidents have already held meet
ings In the interest of the fair, one in as
many as three towns"
1.-THE board" she continued, "of course
places no restrictions on either vice presi-
| dents or representatives Let each do such
work as her own good taste and judgment
may suggest"

BICYCLE RACES AT
THE COLISEUM
Some Good Time Made by the Local Riders
Some Excellent Sport Promised
for Tonight.

The bicycle races were pulled off at the
coliseum track yesterday afternoon not
withstanding the threatening condition of
the weather.
Early in the afternoon a light rain fell
and wet the track considerably. but every
event was run as scheduled. Despite the
damp track, some very fast time was made.
Jack Cooper, amateur, and James Field
professional, both succeeded in bringing the
half-mile record down to 0:56 Is.
A fair sized crowd witnessed the sport
and those who were frightened away by
the rain missed one of the best meets of the
season.
The first event was a one-quarter mile,
open. B. Roberts, Stubbs, Biddle and Nc
Crossin qualified The final was won by ].
Biddle, B. Roberts second, McCrossin third.
Time, 0:35
Parker won the half-mile boys race, with
Hopkins second and Gathright third.
The next, one-mile handicap, proved 10
be the most interesting race of the day.
All the leading Birmingham and Bessemer
riders entered. Some difficulty was had in
starting the riders from the various posi-
lions on account of the slippery condition
of the course. This was finally accom-
plished, however, and Spencer came in first,
with Ainsley and McCrossin close in his
wake.
Janus Field, of Toronto, Canada, gave an
exhibition half-mie. His time was 0.56 1-5,
the same as made by Jack Cooper, OF Bir-
mingham.
The meet will be continued tonight, and
some great sport is expected. Among the
events will be a three-cornered match race
and a triangular handicap. All the Bir-
mingham riders have entered, and the con-
tests will be sharp and interesting
