WORK OF TAKING
 THE NEXT CENSUS
Instructions Given Out By 0is-
 trict Supervisor Smyer.
ACCURATE DETAILS WANTED
Persons Contemplating Absence From Home Should Leave Information Re- garding Answers to the Question
 So as to Reach Enumerators

Great care is being taken by the census bureau to collect accurately every detail of the twelfth census. District Supervisor Ru- fus B. Smyer is receiving numerous circu- lars relative to the work, among the most important of which he gives out the fol- lowing:
 "The count of the people of the United States will begin in all parts of the coun- later and in the rest of the country before the close of the month. The people are to be counted at their places of residence, but as many persons and families will be away from their homes during June, there is some danger that such persons will not be counted If they are not counted the local ity in which they live will be misrepre- sented to that extent, and in some cases this misrepresentation may be enough to affect the representatio in congress of the state from which they come. Local pride and state pride, therefore, should influence all such absentees to take reasonable pre- cautions against being omitted from emu meration in tneir places of residence. Such omissions are most likely to occur in the large cities where families close ,neir homes and go elsewhere for the summer. The occurrence of the Paris exposition this year is likely to increase the number absent from the country.
 Tn cases of contemplated absence the head of the family is requested by the census office to communicate with the su- pervisor of the district in which he lives. He is also requested to leave information regarding his answers to the questions ble neighbor who will agree to see that it reaches the enumerator on his rounds Such informationmght better be left as a memorandum in writing, as in that case it is less likely to be overlooked. The uues- tions to which answers are desired apply primarily to the population, but also to all farms and manufacturing establish ments. They are being published from time to time in the press of the coun- try.
 By taking this trouble the absent citi- zen will do justice to his locality and his state, and materially aid the census office in the performance of it's duties
 Tt would greatly facilitate the work of the enumerators if the head of the family would, on leaving his home for any length of time, leave memoranda of this in- formation with the servant or some mem Der of the family, who could give same to the enumerator when he called.''

GRADUATING EXERCISES
 OF POLLOCK>STEPHENS
Fourteen Young Women Given Their Di- p1omas Seals Hall Crowded
 With Friends and Relatives

The graduating exercises of the class or 1900 of the Pollock-Stephens Institute were held at Seals hall last night. Every seat was filled and a large number of persons stood in the aisles. It was brilliant audi ence; and the stage where sat the beauti- ful young women who were to receive diplomas and the distinguished men who were to take part in the programme, pre- scented a scene at once animated and pictur- esque.
 The programme opened with piano piece -"Marche Triomphale," played by Miss Handley and MT. Staats.
 The Rev. Dr. A. B. Curry made the invo- cation, which was followed by a felicitous speech by Rev. John G. Murray, introduc- ing the orator of the evening, Thomas Me Adory Owen. The theme of MT. Owen's address was '"The Women of Alabama" ]" and an instructive and scholarly address it was. It was indeed valuable contribution to the literature of Alabama.
 A-.er MT. owen had concluded, Mr. Wash burne sang in his best style three songs: (a) My Loves An Arbatus' Gold Irish melody); (b) All Thro' the Night (old Welsh air); Co Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes, Gold English song)

STATE CONVENTION
Of Populists Will Meet in Adjourned
 Session Today

The state populist convention will hold an adjourned session in this city at the auditorium at noon today. It will be re- called that a convention was held at the same place on May ?, but on account of the small attendance no nominations for state officers were made.
 It is stated that Samuel M. Adams of Chiffon county will be placed in nomina- tion for governor, but it Is understood that he will not accept the nomination. The impression seemed to prevail among the delegates that arrived in the city last night that no state ticket would be put out this year.

BOTH COURTS
HEARD MOTIONS,
Judge Taylor Decides a Verdict
Must Stand.
CONSIDERING ANOTHER
Booked to Go Out Along the Creek to
Look Into the Shock Case
Judge McCarty's
Se6aiOn.

Judge McCarty and Judge Taylor
both were in Canton holding court
Monday. Each had some motions to
hear and some entries to allow for at
torneys in cases that have been settled
or tried.
Judge Taylor first took up the motion
for new trial in the case of the Haw-
ley Down Draft Furnace company vs
Oby & Co. The court heard the at
torneys on both sides and decided that
the verdict should stand. Fifty days
were allowed for the filing of a bill of
exceptions.
Judge Taylor then heard the motion
for a new trial in the case Of McCurdy
VS. the Pennsylvania railroad company
in which a verdict was secured by the
plaintiff for $1,250. After listening to
the lawyers the court took the case un-
der consideration to decide later.
Monday afternoon Judge Taylor was
booked to go out along the creek and
the race and gather information on the
Shock case in order to be able to de-
eide the injunction matter.
Judge McCarty, Monday morning,
took up the hearing of the motion for
new trial in the Gurski will contro-
| versy. The jury set the will of John
Gurski aside and the beneficiaries are
naturally not satisfied and want a new
| trial. The matter was argued all morn
ing and the judge took the case to de-
eide later.

GEN. SHERWOOD
Sheds a New Light Upon the
16to l Bugbear-Republicans
Responsible For Ratio.
(Toledo News.)

A Toledo News reporter met General
Sherwood just as he escaped from the
Cleveland night boat.
Have you read the Kansas City
platform, General?" inquired our re-
porter.
"Yes, have Just finished reading it.
1t is a great document. 1t makes i'm
perialism the paramount issue, just as
1 have all along claimed. If you will
look at your dictionary you will dis
cover that paramount, used in this con-
nection, means supreme. The platform
makes the issue between a republic or
an empire. 1t is more than an issue,
it is a crisis. This is why Webster
Davis, one of the oldest Republicans in
the United States, has already declared
for Bryan. l believe all the anti-impe-
rialists, led by Ex-Governor Boutwell,
and General Carl Schurz will support
the ticket.
How about 16 to /, General?"
This contest over 16 to in the Kan
sas City convention and elsewhere is
over a shadow. There Is no issue of 16 to
/. And l am surprised that representa-
tive leaders should sweat over a ques-
ton that has no substance whatever.
Let me call your attention to the fact
that 16 to has stood unchallenged ex-
cept by Republican orators and oracles
for over sixty years. The law of con-
gress of 1887 fixing the amount of silver
in the silver dollar and the grains of
gold in a gold dollar has stood for 63
years and no congress has ever even
seriously attempted to change the ra-
ito. And let me call your attention to
another fact, both lurid and vital-that
it was a congress, Republican in both
branches, that passed the law of May,
1898, to coin all the silver bullion in the
mints, ESTIMATED at s50,0O0,O0O) at the
ration of 16 to /. President Mckinley
signed that act and it became law by
his signature. Not Republican men,
ber of that congress in either house or
senate made an effort to change the
ratio. And the only real coined money
in circulation among the people is sill

"The whole business fabric Is now

which is not legal tender, or not rea

Until the Republican party names
some other ratio. the 16 to i ratio
