by many of our citizens who have ira
veled in her care, has returned from
Europe and has issued a printed itin-

Terrill S., the great PAGER, owned by
Chester A. Lassel of Whitinsville,
proved a good winner this season.
Having won a great race at Brocktoh
last week, he will now 90 into winter
quarters. This horse is undoubtedly as
fast a PAGER as there is in New Eng
land, and next year will be heard from.
Chester Lassel has as good string of
horses as there is on the circuit.
The Benton NJ. colt, formerly owned
by Levi Lincoln and recently sold TO
Walter Warren, is showing great speed
and, last week. driven by Walter War
rem showed a mile in 2:39, and could
have gone faster. Look out for this
hummer next year, for he is a crack
ajack
Mile sayles, the celebrated driver,
arrived in town Saturday. This clever
driver won a race at Saugus with
Minnie B., and will start her at Bar
bers Crossing this week.
The Ware horsemen know how to get
up an old-fashioned cattle show, and
this year it was a great success. The
managers must have made a great deal
of money, as they deserved.
Representative Ellsworth wants an
old-fashioned cattle show next year,
without charging any money at the
gate. The members of the Agricultural
Society never did pay any money to go
in It's dollars to dOughnuts that MIR.
Ellsworth will stand behind such an
arrangement with his money.
There is no need of horsemen going
to Kentucky to buy colts that can trot
or pace, when right here in Worcester
County there are raised every year
colts that will be world beaters, and
colts that have good constitutions, too,
for a long, hard race.
The meeting of the Worcester Driv-
ing Club, held this week at BARRIERS
Crossing, closes a record of honestly
conducted races that the club may be
proud Of 1t passes without question
among horsemen all over the country
for honesty. This is great compari-
son to one year ago when Old Sport
boldly advocated that judges should be
not only experts but chosen from out
side the driving club. Even the little

that will not investigate facts and
stand up for the right must take its
chances among its subscribers that
want to see fair play and that is the
horseman's motto every time.
Ira Davis, the well known driver, is
not only honest and capable, but is a
skillful handler. There are but few
drivers that go down the circuit who
control a horse like Ira Davis.
The case of Alley, the horse that was
expelled from the n. T. A. at Read
vile as well as his owner is attracting
great attention. There are various
stories in regard to it. It seems too
has for as fast and as good horse as
Alley to be under the ban. 1t is to be
hoped that the horse and owner will
be reinstated at the December meet
ing.

ing the horses run on an endless belt

AN AMERICAN AUTHOR.

From the Boston Herald.
 We learn from the Mobile Register that the Hon. Hannis Taylor of that city has been invited by the University of Dublin to be. present to receive In person the de- gree of ILL. D., honoris causa, which that seat of learning has voted to confer upon him. This institution, also known as Trim ity College, is of venerable age, having been founded by Queen Elizabeth in 1891, and 1t has fame which those familiar with English literature will recognize The last time previously at which this honor was conferred 1t was given to Jo- seph Chamberlain, who visited Dublin on the occasion. It is hoped that MT. Fay Tor will be able to be present on the Eth instant to add to the eclat of the occa- sion He receives this compliment as a recognition of his ability shown in his works on the origin and Growth of the English Constitution and on "Interna- tional Public Law" MT. Taylor will also be remembered as being the minister to Spain from this country during the second administration of President Cleveland. He is now engaged in the practice of the law in the city of his residences but it is to be hoped that there will be a place for him in the public life of the country be- fore many years have elapsed. The south, and indeed the nation, needs such man as he.

been considered in that court at all. 5oth are open to attack there. Why put ourselves onco more at the mercy of the Republican party?
 The only answer is, the Black Belt demands more ehan a poll tax provis- ion and white primaries. All experi- ence Tn Louisiana, Mississippi, Geor- gia, South Carolina and Tennessee goes to show that the poll tax pro- vision is sufficient alike to weed out corrupt practices and give State a responsible if not intelligent elector- ate. Three of the five States named have adopted other clauses only to find them imperative. These three States-Louisiana Mississippi and South Carolina--have secured the benefits of a poll tax provision, but they have needlessly incurred the dan gers of political mess over repre- sentation. If Alabama be wise in this day at Montgomery, she will join Geor- gia, Tennessee and Texas rather than Louisiana. Mississippi and South Caro- lima. And so would the three States last-named if they could, but they can mt

Downward Tendency of Prices.

During May quotations of $50 arti- cles of general consumption declined 25 per cent. Nearly the entire list showed downward tendency. Dairy products. breadstuffs, cotton, raw rub Der, pig iron, inseed oil, paper, and a most of other articles are cheaper. Al though pork is firmly held, meats as a whole are lower in price, and this is true also of clothing. The prices of footwear were well maintained. Some of the metals, after heavy decline in April, showed gains in May. We give below the changes by classes under the index plan adopted by Dun:

Southern Railway Shops.
n the Sheffield Standard.

From the Sheffield Standard.
 The property of the Sheffield Machine Company, known as the "M. and c. Shops." has been formally transferred to the Southern Railway Company
 Meetings of the directors and stock holders of the Sheffield Machine Com pany were held in this city yesterday. Among those present were c. H. Hudson, president; Gen. Addison White, Capt. Milton Humes. Maj. R. B. Pegram and w. A. Henderson, directors and stock- holders of the company. MT N. K. White was unanimously elected secretary. MT F. P. Poston, division counsel of the Southern at Memphis, was present to as- sist in the transfer.
 All the indebtedness of the Sheffield Machine Company which was held by the Southern Railway Company was satisfied and canceled and a conveyance of all its property executed to the Southern Rail- way. This action abolishes the receiver ship and places the property in immedi- which is a preliminary step to the re- moval of the shops to this place.
 A Standard representative interviewed several of the gentlemen present and each and all were of the opinion that Sheffield would get the shops though their coming might be delayed by the suit now pending in the United States Circuit Court on an appeal of a number of minor stockholders who are seeking to set aside the sale of the old Memphis and Charleston to the Southern Railway The case was deecided in fhe District Court at Memphis in favor of the railroad, and

Tests for oil.
tbe South Alabamian.

From the South Alabamian.
 The result of an experiment on the Bolen place-the old salt works-seven miles northwest of Jackson, show that that the owners have a good thing of it if pushed to development. On Thursday the brothers-E. J., John and Henry Bolen, who own the property-took a one minutes flow from one well {te ngallons of water), which they evaporated, the re- suit being about three pounds of as good salt as can be found anywhere. There are several flowing wells on the place and large amount of salt could be manu- factured there if the proper machinery were installed. We learn that company is figurig on putting in a vacuum plant in order to develop the business. We hope the work will begin at once and that the promoters of the enterprise may be richly rewarded.
 We are informed that some Mobile par. ties. in connection with some parties here, are figuring on engaging in the making of salt at the old upper salt works near this place. It is thought that the business can be made profitable. We hope so. There are several overfowing salt wells at that place ana many more might De had. The water is said to be at least per cent salt. Salt was made in great quantities there during the war, but, of course, the process of making salt in those days was quite different from that which would be adopted in this progressive age. When the oilmen and the saltmen commence to sink their augers in Clarke County soil there will be something to keep a fellows spirits from tagging. And if they should strike "gusher" or two and salt in pay ing quantities. there will be life in the old land," sure enough.

HE oHls DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
A pound of flesh taken from man Is not so estimabie.
 A Merchant of Venice.
Mr. Depew,s Political EeeIer.

The money power and the tariff pro- tected trusts were not acting blindly when they induced the convenient and ever ready Chauncey DepewVto pro- pose William Mckinley for third term They desire to see how the prop osition will be received. They desire to disclose public sentiment. They de sire. in other words, to see if it be feasible to buy another term for the present incumbent. They prefer to keep man whom they know will serve their purposes to the getting of new one who might kick over the trust and tariff traces, but they do not feel sure that a third term can be crammed down the throats of the people. They are afraid their millions might be spent fruitlessly. Hence the declara- lion of MT. Depew, whose tongue is al- ways hung in the middle.
 The money power is now engaged in testing and gauging public sentiment, and when it has reached conclusion then and not until then will a definite third-term step be taken. The money power prefers a third term, although it's logical meaning is fourth or any higher number of terms. It discards the unwritten law as foolish con- trivance of the common people who do not knoY what Is good for them. It wants above all else a strong govern ment, the stronger the better, with less and still less control in it by the common people.
 If public sentiment should prove fixedly averse to third term then of course William Mckinley is free to dlsavow the entire proceeding, and to declare that he is a patriot who sands by the unwritten law of the land. The money power, will say it was MT Depew's loquacity merely, and thus it will vanish into thin air. But if they see that they can bring it about then they will unflinchingly proceed to buy third term for MT. Mckinley, and another step towards empire will be taken--a step that will outrank in its possibilities even the recent de cision of the Supreme Court in the insular cases. The money power is in the saddle, but it hesitates over the third-term proposition.
