ROCK ISLAND WORK.
Bringing Hundreds of People From Kan
sas and Nebraska.

sas and Nebraska.
The Rock Island is proving to be an
important factor in the settling and
bringing of good citizens to Kansas,
Nebraska and Oklahoma. Already
this year the road has carried thous-
ands of people into this part of the
United States, many of whom have Ie-
mained here and made homes for
themselves. All this has been accom-
plished by the homeseeker excursions
which are run on the first and third
Tuesdays Of every month.
To give some idea of the immense
number of people who take advantal e
of the low rate of one fare plus So =,
which is made for these homeseeker
excursions, it may be said that the
Rock Island carried over 500 people
into Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma
on the excursion which was run last
Tuesday. The excursion run previous
to that carried over 700 people. The
fact that the great Kiowa, Comanche
aud Apache Indian reservations lying
alongside the Rock Island and com
prising some two million acres will be
opened for settlement soon is influenc-
ing many to come west and be ready
for the grand rush for free homes,
The people taking advantage of
these excursions come from the east,
notably from Missouri, Illinois, Iowa
and Minnesota. AS general elias S
they are people who, hnving saved
some money, take advantage of the
low rates to visit new places, and pos
sibly find new homes, These great
waves of immigration are unheralded
and are regular in their movements
that the public does not recognize the
number of people who are almost
daily coming from the east TO the west
to find new homes and increase the
population of western cities with a
steady and rapid growth.

A
Says That He swOre Falsely Concerning
Caleb Powers.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 30.-The
Louisville Evening Post to-day prints
an affidavit of Finly Anderson, a
telegraph operator upon whose testi-
mony Caleb Powers was convicted of
completely in the murder of Governor
Goebe1, in which Anderson swears
his story told on the stand at George
town was perjured. After telling of
a conversation with Attorney Camp
bell, at Cincinnati, in connection
with the Goebel case, he says:
81 remained in Cincinnati after
this conversation with Campbell,
and sometime after that Arthus Goe-
bel, in his store on the fourth floor,
where I had gone at his request,
asked me if Powers had not, in my
presence, at B~arbo4rville, in Janu-
aIy, said to me in substance these
words, referring to William Goebel
They say he ear a coat Of mail,
but it won't do him any good; or
something similar to that" I told
Goebel that Powers had never said
anything of that sort in my presence,
to the best Of my knowledge. He
told me to think, and see if I could
not remember it. I could not remem-
Der such a remark, and [ know that
Powers never did make such a re-
mark, or anything resembling it, in
my presence but, being urged by
Arthur Goebel, I finally concluded
to state that he did make such d
statement, and so swOre upon the
trial, which testimony was false.
Before making my statement tc
Campbell, Wharton Golden told me tc
make it as strong as possible, as they
(~referring to Campbell and Goebel,
would take care of me and protect
me.
Il have since such conversation
with Campbell and Arthur GOebe

NORTH CAROLINA PASSES VIRGINIA.

North Carolina, for the first time
in it's history, passes Virginia IN
population. The census returns, as
printed in The Times, yesterday
snow that this State has 1881, 992
people and Virginia 1854 1874 a
difference of 37,8O8. In 1890 North
Carolina had 1872, 947 people. The
census shows an increase of PA, O45.
which is a fine showing for the "Old
North State" Only Georgia and
Tennessee lead this State in the

the empire of Texas, and the per
centage of our increase has been
larger than either of the leaders.
Our development in manufactures
has been especially marked.

which we're dropped because the

Here's an item from the New York
Verdict for readers on election day,
1900, that may be worth filing away
Hill for twelve years has had a ma
MIA to be Presidents. He believed his
chances were to be fattened by de-
feating Cleveland. And he has not
changed. He looks on Bryan as in
his way, as Cleveland was in his
way. His future is to be cared for
and nourished-so he holds-by
Bryan's present overthrow. IF Bryan
wins in November, he will ola verify
be reelected in 1904. And so Hill
argues. If Bryan is beaten down in
this autumn's jousting, Hill, with
the eye of a clear, though oblique.
hope, looks on himself as invincibly
the nominee next time. Hill regards
his interest as gaining deep promo
ton by Bryan's present defeat. And
Hill, who knows no more of truth
nor loyalty, nor the curb of morals
than does a scorpion, wills work
sleeplessly to bring that defeat
about"

THE COTTON CROP ESTIMATED AT $780,
600 BALES.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-The Times
Democrat to-day prints the final re-
ports of it's correspondents on the
cotton crop of 1900. The crop is an
exceedingly spotted one.
The consensus of opinion appears
to be that, making allowance for a
moderate increase of acreage, a max
imum yield of $3.50, 900 bales is on
the cards. This would mean an ex-
cess of about 600, 900 bales as COM
pared with the actual production of
1899. The superabundance of Texas
has been offset by the comparative
dearth of the remainder of the belt.

new CITY HALL
WILL BE ERECTED
As Contemplated BY the Mayor
and Council.
NOBODY Is IN OPPOSITION
Committee Will Meet Tomorrow Morn
ing to Consider Plans-Mayor Dren-
men and Col. Altman Approve the
Progressed Improvement.
NOBODY is IN OPPOSITION

The city hall committee has been called
to meet in the council chamber Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock, and all matters per-
tanning to the erection of the new build
ings and the issuance of new bonds will
be thoroughly discussed. 1t is expected
that the entire matter will be put in shape
for final action by the City Council at
it's next regular meeting on September 9.
Mayor Drennen is very enthusiastic over
the city hall project and says he feels
quite sure that the work of construction
will begin ere many moons have passed.
He said yesterday afternoon that the ac-
ton of the council Wednesday night in
referring all matters concerning the city
hall to that committee was not done for
the purpose of delaying the project, but
that nothing else could have been done at
the time Ee also said that according to
the regular order of business these matters
had to go to the committee and the i'm
preston that the motion was made in the
nature of any OPPOSITION to the measure
was erroneous. Mayor Drennen talked
freely about the matter and said that he
thought the committee would soon have
everything ready, and he had no doubt as
to the passage of the ordinance at the
next meeting of the council.
Colonel J. j. Altman, chairman of the
judiciary committee and a member of the
city hall committee who introduced the
ordinance at the meeting Wednesday
night and had it referred to the committee,
said yesterday that it was not his purpose
to side track the measure; but he did not
wish the council to act without due con-
sideration He said he was not against the
movement to erect new city hall, but on
the contrary was very much in favor If It,
If it could be made self-supporting or
partly so.
1t seems that no member of the board
is opposed to the ordinance for building a
city hall and that the only difference of
opinion which exists is as to the plan of
construction. All the members of the
board hope that all these matters will be
satisfactorily adjusted at the meeting OF
the city hall committee tomorrow morning
and that within few months Birmingham
will be graced with as handsome city
hall as any municipality in the country.
