the following: t....
MRS. S. NJ. Cason, by her next
friend, s. 7. Cannon, filed bill in
Chancery yesterday against John ID.
Cason, Duncan & Waddy and others,
seeking to have returned to her Ger.
tain property, which she claims was
decided to Duncan & Waddy by her
under false representations.
complainant alleges that in d.
cember, 1896, the firm of Duncan IL
Waddy charged her son, w. A. Ca
son, with being short in his accounts,
he being at the time book-keeper
for them. She states that an agent
of the said firm called on her and
made an agreement whereby the
matter would be hushed up provided
she made a deei to them of her
home place.
"She'states that she agreed to this
while in a condition of great m4nt al
distress and not fit to transact bus :
ness. She says that notwithstand-
ing this promise and after the deed
had been made, one of the member:
of the firm went before the grand
Jury and had her son indicted. He
was convicted and afterward par
doned by Gov. Taylor. She claim:
that the entire consideration fol
which this deed was made has failed
and that the defendants, both oil
account of their bad faith in tn
matter and by reason of the exercise
of duress and undue influence in OBJ
tanning the deed, are bound ii
equity to re convey the proper ty."

ALABAMA'S GOVERNOR.
He Routs His Political Opponents
SDlPndid StVle

He Rout. His Political Opponents In
Splendid Style.
MONTGOMERY, May S-The Senate
late this afternoon passed the bill
which repeats the act submitting to
the people of Alabama the question
of holding a constitutional cOnven-
ton. The bill passed by vote of Is
to IL. A motion to reconsider was
entered on the journal and will be
voted down tomorrow morning.
This practically ends the big po-
litical fight in Alabama. The bill
has passed both branches of the
Legislature and as soon as the mo-
ton to reconsider is laid on the table
the bill will go to the Governor for
his approval.
Gov. Johnston's position has been
sustained. Probably no Governor in
the United States ever won such a
victory. At the regular session OF
the Legislature an act was passed
calling for IA vote on the convention
proposition. After this, the deleg ties
were nominated by the Democrats to
attend the cOnvention.Itw was charged
that the majority of the delegates so
nominated were of the gold faith,
and it was further alleged THAI they
were Influenced by corporate inter
ests. Fearing that this body of men
might change the organic law tn the
! hurt of the people of Alabama, and
/ for other reasons, Gov. JOhusto n
called the Legislature in eXtraordi-
nary session. 70 morrow will be one
/ week since the assembly convened
Ia due course of time the bill t. re-
peal the convention act has been
/ passed.

pends on irrigation, for Egypt Is vir-
tually rainless. Wherever the Nile wa
ter can be regularly supplied to the soil,
the most bountiful crops follow, which,
like cotton and sugar, command high
prices because of their excellence. In
deed, with a reliable ssupply Of water,
farming in the Nile country can be pur-
sued with more certainty Of success than
in any other country OF which have
knowledge. The Egyptian farmer can
rely on getting four Of five hundred
weight of long-staple cotton from an acre,
which is readily marketed for two cents
a pound more than American cotton sells
for-Amerlcan cotton that does not aver
age two hundredweight to the acre. The
Nile cane, likewise, is sufficiently rich
to give its cultivators decided market ad-
vantages.
Successful in an unexpected degree in
augmenting the population Of the ancient
land Of the Pharaohs by enforcing hy-
gienic measures, the British administra-
tors at Cairo are recognizing the neces-
sity for proportiOnately increasing the
area Of which have termed the practical
Egypt. When the british occupation be-
gan, sixteen years ago, Egypts popula-
ton was about 100000. An official
census just completed shows that 1t has
risen to 9,75O,0OO as the result Of caring
for child life, and teaching the common
people to observe rational rules Of clean
illness and order.
"The present census gives to the prac-
tical Egypt population Of 92S to the
square mile, a density far in excess OF
any European country even Belgium,
and not to be equaled outside Of AsiatiC
communities.
"It will no doubt surprise most readers
to be told that fair estimate Of the
value OF Egypts 10000 square miles OF
cultivatable territory is $115 an acre. II
is a fact, as we'll, that the foreign bonded
Indebtedness naturally based upon the
intrinsic value of the country-average
$75.74 per acre, while the per capita pro-
portion of the external debt burden is moi
less than S522O. The average land tax
of Egypt is something in excess OF "a pei
acre."

will come under cultivation.
From this big reservoir alone Egypt
will be permanently benefited to the
value of $1OO, ,0OO, 900, and the acquisitions
Of desert land will not, by any means,
stop there. The markets of the world
will be affected by this policy in the fu-
ture, and it behooves American farmers
to watch its advance closely.
Regarding the importance of irrigation
in Egypt, Mr.. Penfeld gives the follow
ing information:
ITO comprehend the Importance Of
present-day irrigation in Egypt, it must
be borne in mind that the country owes
its fertility solely to the Nile. It's agri-
culture, even the cOuntry's existence, de-
