Turner, general passenger agent of the Texas and Pacific Railroad, left for Chicago tonight to be present at meeting to organize the Trans-C Continental Passen- ger Association, to embrace all lines from Chicago, St. Louis and west of the Missis- sippi river to the Pacific ocean.

The rem edy we demanded for the grievance com- plained of has not. so far as I am aware, been applied. and the Texas and Pacific leaves the bureau, probably permanently.

BUTCHERS WROTH
 OVER A LETTER
melting Them to Clear Out of the Market House Very
 Soon.

The butchers have on their war paint, and their expressions in regard to the re- cent action of the City Council ordering them to vacate the city market house, are anything but soothing.
 Every renter of a market stall was served with a little slip of paper Saturday morning notifying him that on the first day of November he must pack up his be- longings and seek other quarters as a new city hall had to be built, and it couldn't be done while the butchers continued to sell meats at the present stalls
 When the men had read their letters of notification they waxed wroth and 1t is feared that no letter of acceptance will be given out.
 The butchers are really in a dilemma. They have no market place where they can cojointly do business just now. One of them said yesterday that of course quar- ters could be secured if they would lease a place for a number of years This they hesitated to do, owing to the indefinite po- sition of the City Council in regard to whether a market will be allowed in the new city hall building. If 1t is decided that one is to be allowed, then they will have to rent temporary and separate stores. Anyway the butchers think the Mayor and Board of Aldermen should let them know "where they are at."
 It has been suggested that the corner of Second avenue and Eighteenth street can be leased for period of ten years to be used as market place, but the butch CTS say they would not be justified in clos ing contract just now, when perchance they could be forced back into the city hall building when it is completed.
 The council will probably decide the mat ter at the next regular session. In the meantime the butchers will attempt to make up in the next few weeks for the dull times of the summer.

MANY MINERALS
 FOR STATE FAIR
Former Mayor Evans Says This Display Will be Very
 Rich.

The mineral exhibit at the State Fair to be held in this city November lilo, will be one of the most complete exhibits of the kind ever seen in Alabama. Former Mayor Frank V. Evans, superintendent of miner- als, has prepared @ diagram of the space to be occupied Tby the exhibit and it will be so arranged that every person entering the fair grounds wifi pass along the road be- tween sections set apart for this part of the fair.
 The mineral display will occupy space 2oOx9O feet. In the center of the reservation will be a walk thirty feet wide, thirty feet on either side. Entrance to this will be through ali arch. On the left at the en- trance will be the coal and coke, on the right the iron ore and pig iron. Further along and on the left will be displayed limestone and other minerals, while the right side will be reserved for miscellane- ous minerals. One side of the walk will be cherted. At the far end of the walk will be erected a small house in which will be placed cabinets containing such exhibits as can not be left out in the open.
 MT. Evans has received a letter from H. J. Cameron of Alexander City, stating that he will bring gold ore and other minerals to be found in Coosa and Clay Counties and exhibit them at the fair.
 w. R. H. Loden of Greenfield, Marion County, writes that he will furnish a dis play of chalk and such other minerals as are found in Marion County.
 Dr. Eugene A. Smith, State geologist, writes that he will assist the management in every way possible in making the min eral exhibit a success.
 Among the minerals exhibited at the fair win be white and black marble, the white marble coming from Talladega County and the black from Shelby. A white marble shaft thirty feet high will be placed on exhibition
 The contract for the exposition building to replace the one destroyed by fire last Beck will be let in a day or two, probably Tomorrow, or Tuesday, and work on It will begin immediately thereafter.
 c. J. Geohegan, superintendent of the ma chinery exhibit, states he Is meeting with every encouragement in his work. All of his available space will be taken and fine machinery display will be made.
 Space in both the mineral and the ma- chinery departments will be free.

VETERANS HOME
 NOW PROJECTED
Forty Thousand Brick and a Building Lot Already Con-
 tributed to the Cause.

There is a movement in progress in this city to build a Confederate Veterans Home. An association has been organized for this purpose, and board of directors have been elected, with pr. J. C. Aberna- thy as president and H. F. Bridewell as secretary.
 These gentlemen propose to purchase a lot and soon begin the work of building the house. A charter has been granted by Judge J. P. Stiles, and many donations have already been received.
 Other cities in the State think that the home would receive more assistance if the site on which to build it was left open to competition. That is left open, but it is stated that Birmingham is expected to work for having the home here.
 Donations have come in rapidly since the subject was first discussed, and up to yes terday morning the following had been re- ported by B. W. Brand, State organizer, at the Eagle Hotel:
 J. R. Copeland 10000 brick; c. T. Harde- man. 10000 brick; F. B. Daniel, 10000 brick; Lane Brick Company, 10000 brick; East Lake Land Company, one lot. By W. H. Wood. president.
 Camps organized to work for the home are:
 Camp No. l. Avondale G. T. arsh, presi dent; Camp No. 2, Woodlawn, F. M. Wood, president; Camp No. 3, East Lake, Will Hams A. Williams, president.
 This is one of the nobest and most ap pealing causes to which the public of Ala bama has ever had the opportunity of sub scribing- It appeals to every one, men, women and children alike, and the great hearted old veterans who have undertaken this great enterprise of charity have right to expect all possible encouragement.

Your committee found itself face to face
with these facts:

heretofore voted the Republican ticket
with their partys platform that they could
not. without disqualification, longer act
with the Republican party. In that year
they found In the Democratic candidate
for president and In the platform upon
which he stood complete and sufficient
Justification for giving him their hearty
support. With him they went down to de-
feat. but in that defeat won victory for
manhood and patriotic independence for
which they have no apology to offer and
In which, they feel a just pride: They re-
tain and preserve the right to vote as
their judgment dictates.
