character. There is no reason, to
take one plain case, why the "Drcssed
Bee! and Packing Combine" should
bc able To cXtort one cent from con
SumcrS Of its products in State
which can easily produce NOR" of
such products than it needs. If the
people of the State, again, are tlccced
by the United Fruit Company, it is
their fault, not their misfortune.
They can grow every variety Of
fruit they need. They arc not de-
pendent on the Flour Trust, Ger
tainly, or on the Corn Meal Trust,
or the Biscuit Trust, or any other
trust that deals in grain or manu-
features OF grain. They need ot
buy a pound OF the adultcrated
goods OF the Preserving Combine,
when they can make pure goods of
the same kind, in their own kitchens.
If they contribute to the dividends
Of the Milk Trust, 1t is not because
COWS cannot be raised, fed and MIXED
in South Carolina. And so of their
relations to the ice, canned goods,
fertilizer, fish, furniture, cotton oil,
hoy, wool, cheese, butter, box, barrel,
cordagc, soap, syrup, tea, mule, book,
plough, hoe, wagon, buggy, crockcry,
glass and numerous other such COM
bincs, to all Of which they are now
subject, simply because of their in
difference to their industrial indie
pcndcncc.
The most effective ii ght that can
be made against any trust, is made
when community produces for itself
what the trust has to sell. The
trusts life is in the demand for its
goods. Cut that off and it is
wounded in its pocket, its vital part.
The more .hc people Of a State pro-
ducc for their own use, The smaller
the hold the rcpaclous concerns have
ON them Their hold on the people
OF this State, among others, enables
them as estimated, to pocket 25
cents profit out OF every dollar cx-
pended for food. 1t is well worth a
fight to stop such robbery as that,
both on grounds of principle and of
interest. What the spoil is worth to
! the combines can he estimated from
the capital they have employed to
collect i,--ovcr 500, 100000 for the
few named and nobody knows how
much for the evil array. If it "pays"
them SO well to hold their grip on
their victims, it will pay their vic
TINS as well to break it.-Ncws and

BESSEMER.

Bessemer, July 8.-(Special. .)-Furnaces l and here, whose fires have been banked for the past three weeks by reason of the furnacemen's strike are now being pre- pared to be put in blast on Monday. The company has now sufficient force on hand for that purpose. Furnaces and 5 are running nicely and furnace {, which has been about a month repairing, will in the course of another week be ready to go into blast. There is hardly any evidence of the strike now visible in Bessemer. The leaders of the strikers still assert their confidence in final success, but have little basis for 1t.
 1t is now settled that the rolling mill will start up again on Monday. Repairing and enlarging work has not ceased at all, but only the fear of the coal miners strike caused any doubt of the continued opera tion of the plant.
 MT. George A. Wade of Birmingham is in town this evening visiting friends.

Maher Won Easy

New York, July 6.-Peter Maher knocked out Steve O'Donnell in the first round of what was to have been a 25-round bout, at the Broadway Athletic Club tonight. The bout lasted only one minute and forty eight seconds. In that time O'Donnell was knocked down three tmes Maher at the outset cornering O'Donnell and dazing him with rap on the jaw. O'Donnell clinched. After breaking, Maher rushed and sent his man down like a log. He scrambled to his feet, and as he put up his hands he got a swing on the neck and fell on his back. He arose slowly and Maher rushed at him and smiled as he whipped right to the jaw. O'Donnell staggered, and as he was falling, Maher landed on him again. The referee stopped further proceedings and awarded the fight to Maher.

COLONEL SANFORD
 AT TUSCALOOSA
He Made an Eloquent Plea for Harmony Between Demo-
 crats and PopuIists.

Tuscaloosa, July 6-(Special. )-Hon. Will fam J. Sanford spoke here today in the court house to a representative audience. He was introduced by Professor W. B. Werner.
 Colonel Samfords speech was along the lines of those previously delivered. He took up the main issues which at present confront the people. He spoke of the Pop ulists and the nomination of Dr. G. B. Grove for Governor. He said that politi- clans had been known to eat "Crowe," and though he did not intend to eat him, he trusted the people of Alabama to deal with Grove.
 He touched a responsive chord in his Tuscaloosa audience when he said that if elected it would be his pleasure to foster the institution we had here-the University and the house rang with applause when he declared later that there should be an absolute divorcement of anything pertain ing to education from politics. There was a sprnkling of Populists in the audience, leaders who have reorganized their party because of the refusal of the county Dem- ocratic Executive Committee to allow a Populist candidate a place on the ticket last April
 Colonel Samford's remarks, therefore, on the treatment of Populists by Democrats were particularly interesting. He was pleading for harmony and unity, and said that after the Democrats had invited the Populists to return it was not conducive to such to place them in the party to nag at them and refuse to allow them to hold office. If they had been Popuists they were not lepers. It was a fine speech, elo- quently delivered by one whose personal magnetism did as much as his rhetoric to hold the undivided attention of his audi ence,

Kansas City, July 6.-The national com mittee of the Democratic party met at the Kansas City Club after the adjournment of the convention and organized. Senator Jones, who was not member of the com mittee, remained outside until the preljm- inaries were over.
 Thomas Taggert, of Indiana, who had been mentioned as a possible chairman, nominated Senator Jones for reelection, and he received the unanimous vote. The Senator was sent for, and in accepting the chairmanship, said that the committee en- tered the campaign in much better shape than four years ago. Then the members were all new and untried in party affairs, which had been in the hands of men who were overthrown in the great issues dom mating the 1896 convention. Now they had a complete organization, and were ra.dy to go ahead and make the best fight possi- ble.
 He complimented the action of the con- vention, both as to the platform and can didates The selection of the executive com- mittee was left to Chairman Jones, who will make the appointments after he has time for consideration.

TO MAKE BALE RICH
Ex-Gov. Francis and Congressman Sib
 ley Buy Him Ranch
Dallas Special to New York Sun.

Dallas Special to New York Sun. . Former Governor David R. Francis of Missouri and Congressman Joseph c. Sib- ley of Pennsylvania have purchased the Hon. Barnett Gibbs fine ranch on Grape vine Prairie, near Dallas, for their friend Congressman Joseph w. Bailey. The con- sideration given to Governor Gibbs for his 5000 acres of Dallas County farm lands is 21 ,0OO acres of land near Pecos City. Texas, and $50, 900 in cash. The transfer will include all of Governor Gibbs stock and imple- ments.
 Messrs. Francis and Sibley, both of whom are very wealthy, and who are close per- sonal friends of MT. Bailey, will allow him thirty years in which to pay the debt in- cured by them. He says he expects to be able to discharge the last note in twelve years. MT. Bailey will dispose of all prop erty that he owns stock farm at Pep per's Distillery, near Lexington, Ky, and will remove his string of trotters from their bluegrass home to his Dallas County farm. He expects to pay little attention to cotton but will go in the grain and fancy stock business.
 David R. Francis, Joseph c. Sibley and Joe Bailey have been intimate frends for years. Time after time Francis and Sibley have urged Bailey to quit public life and
  and himself.
 Some men want money and others have a desire to serve their State,' Mr. Bailey would answer.
 T belong to those who are more for es- tablishing my name than for building a fCrtune.'
 Francis and Sibley persisted in their de- termination to get Bailey interested in mak- ing more money than his officia. salary. Finally Bailey told them:
 Down in Texas there is a splendid farm that I would like to own. If you gentle men are as interested in my financial for tunes as you seem to be, buy that farm, let me run it and pay you as can."
 Francis and Sibley agreed, and the -ixas Congressman was immediately commits stoned to make the deal with Governor Gibbs. Negotiations began about one month ago, and all there is lacking to finish the purchase is the filing of the necessary legal documents, which will take place in .he Dallas County Court House tomorrow or Tuesday
 The property is easily worth $150,0O0

Republicans in Doubt

Huntsville, July 6.-(special)-The Repub- licans of the eighth district held an ad- journed session of their district convention yesterday to decide whether not to put out Republican candidate to make the race for Congress against Judge William Richardson. Judge Steele, nominee for Gov ernor, and Charles P. Lane, the ex-nominee for the same office, opposed the nomina- ton of candidate, and the convention de- cided not to take any part in the contest for General Wheeler's unexpired term. However the Republicans expect to nom- mate a candidate on September for the long term in Congress.

St. Petersburg, July 6.-The Novoe Vre- meyma in a leading article today discusses the position taken by the United States towards China. Alluding to Secretary Hays statement, it says:
 "We are convinced that in all the states sincerely desirous of peace in the far east the views of the American government will meet with full approval In the funda- mental idea the statement agrees with the communique of our government. It is sat- isfying to be able to point to this unanimi- ty of Russia with her old friend, the United States"

DEMOCRATS SEE
 A UNITED PARTY
(Continued From First Page.)


 Malone of Henry County, led the process sion Tomlinson and Kirkbr;dge were the two delegates from Alabama to protest against the delegation voting for Hill. Tomlinson objected to the banner being taken over to Hill on the ground that it would seem to indicate that all of Ala bama was for him. Tomlinson and White had quite heated personal duel of lan- guage over it, in which they declared the banner should wave over Hill so long as twenty of the twenty-two delegates were for him. Later in the proceedings N. l.. Miller who filled Senator Morgans seat in the convention, voted with Kirkbridge and Tomlinson for Stevenson on the original roll call All the other Alabama delegates went for Hill to compliment him, and out of respect for his statesmanlike language before the convention.
 The campaign this year will be managed by practically the same men who conducted affairs four years ago. Senator James K Jones is reelected Chairman of the Ma uonal Committee, with practically the same officers who co-oDerated with and assisted him four years ago..
 Indications are that the campaign fund this year will not be abbreviated as be- fore. S,
 The convention having done it's work well, if the Campaign Committee and the Democratic masses act with the same en- thusiasm, the November result will be a great victory.
