RICHARDSON TO
 HAVE OPPONENT
REPUBLICANS IN EIGHTH CON- f GRESSlONAL DISTRICT WILL PUT OUT A cANDIDATE-LITTLE , CHANGE OF SUCCESS.

Huntsville, September 9-(Special.)-- The republicans of the Eighth dfstricc have declared their intention Of nomin- ating candidate for congress to run against Judge Richardson in the Novem- Der election. Calculating with the result of the August democratic primary in this district as a basis, it is shown that the republicans have no possible chance 10 win. The total registration in the Eighth district was 2, ,4OO In the primary cleo ton of August 26 Congressman Richard son received 9954 votes, being nine-tenths of the vote cast in the district.
 It is estimated that at least 5000 of the registered voters failed to pay the neces- sary poll tax. and the white republican vote of the district cannot exceed 15OO votes This accounts for 14,00O of the reg iistered votes, leaving 6900 votes unac- counted fer. If the republican candidate should receive all of these in addition to The regular republican vote he would bs 46O0 short of the vote Judge Richardson received al the primsry. The democrats of this district have no fears of success .ful opposition, and only wish that other districts were as safe as this.

CROPS HAVE MADE
 GOOD PROGRESS
Low Temperatures and Rain
 Have Not Hurt Corn
OROUTH SECTION RELIEVED
The Threshlng Of Spring Wheat, Al, though Further Retarded, Has Made More Favorable
 Progress.

Washington, September Swallowing is the agricultural departments weekly summary of crop conditions:
 Although the week was cool in the cen- tral valleys and lake region, with more than the average rainfall In portions of the upper Mississippi valley, maturing crops have made generally favorable though not rapid advancement. The greater part of Texas, in which state severe drouth prevailed at the close of the previous week, has received abundant rainfall, and drouth conditions in the middle Atlantic coast districts have been largely relieved; but the interior of the middle Atlantic states, Ohio valley and portions of the lower lake region and south Atlantic states continue to need rain. Light to heavy frosts were very general in the northern districts from Montana to New England and the middle Atlantic states from the Sd to the 9th with but slight injury.
 Notwithstanding the prevalence of low temperatures throughout the corn belt and copious rains in portions of the Mis- sissippi valley, the corn crop has made very satisfactory advancement toward maturity and wholly escaped injury in the states eastward of the Mississippi river from frosts occurring on the 4th and 9th, with but slight injury in the states to the westward. The bulk of the corn crop in Missouri and Kansas and much of the early planted in Nebraska and the states of the Ohio valley are now safe. In Iowa, where corn has ripened very slowly, tWo-thirds of the crop probably will be safe by September 70 and the balance will require ten days longer.
 The threshing of spring wheat, al- though further retarded, has made more favorable progress than in the previous week. Texas and a large part of the central and eastern districts of the cot ton belt have received abundant rain turing the week. but 1t Is doubtful If the beneficial results of these rains, too late for cotton. will offset the injury done to the open staple
 Late tobacco has experienced a gen. eral improvement in the middle Atlantic states and Ohio valley, and cutting and housing have progressed under favorable conditions in all tobacco states.
 In the states of the upper lake region the reports respecting apples are favor able while those from New York and New England are variable, indicating a very light crop in some sections with a plentiful yield in others. In the Ohio valley and most of the fiddle Atlantic states the outlook continues poor.
 Flowing for fall seeding has made more favorable advancement in the southern states and Missouri valley. but in the Ohio valley and portions of the middle Atlantic states and lake regions the soil is too dry for this work

ALBERT WILSON EXPLAINS.
Says Ills Brother Expects to Carry
 Most of cobb's and Troy's Vote.

Opelika. September 9.-(Special) = AL bert Wilson, brother of Massey Wilson. candidate for attorney general, is here in the interest of his brothers candidacy. He says in an interview that he does not deny MT. Garbers right to enter the sec ond race, and says Massey Wilson would not have made Garber the written propo- sition to withdraw from the race if the official count gave Garber more votes than Wilson received. provided Garber would treat him in like manner = pro- vided the official count showed that Wilson was in the lead--but for the fact that in Garber's interview of August 31 in the Montgomery Advertiser Garber claimed he was ahead and asked the peo- pie to stand by him. MT. Wilson further stated that he believes hundreds of peo- pie promised Garber to support him in the second primary of September 15 on the ground that the figures as then pub lished showed Garber to be in the lead several thousand votes; that Massey Will son has never feared the result of a sec ond primary believing he will carry a large majority of the votes carried by Judge Cobb and Colonel Troy, and will carry a larger vote than was cast for MT. Garber on August 25.
