IN AWFUL CONDITION
ARE ALABAMA CROPS
Bankruptcy Practically Star
ing Farmers In Face.
THE SITUATION is APPALLING.

In the Eastern Part of the State the
Outlook for Any Kind of a Crop Was
Never So Gloomy-Ground Parched,
Gardens Ruined.
Opelika, Ala, July 10.-To speak of
the crop prospects in the eastern part
OF this state would leave the impress
sion that one was a pessimist The
condition is simply awful. While
famine does not stare our people in
the face, bankruptcy practically does,
Mr. G. w. Shealy, a wealthy farm,r
of Cusseta, was in town today and SAID
that he had coo acres of his finest
land in cotton this year and that he
had spent a great deal on it and that
the entire coo acres would not make
Is bales Of cotton The same dread
full ratio prevails throughout this sec
ton. Many farmers have cut their
corn down for fodder and the crop Of
fodder will not be onetenth of the
usual crop. No potatoes have been
planted for the simple reason that
there has been no rain since the slips
were ready A few little patches here
and there will not produce enough for
next years seed, if they can be saved.
The dust has been laid here four
times since the middle of March, but
there has been no season The ground
is parched and the gardens were
ruined long ago The blackberries
dried up on the bushes and there was
an enormous crop promised. Figs
canot mature, and all other fruit is a
failure.
Mr. Paul Hoffman, of Waverly,
planted 100 acres in cantaloupes this
year, paying 500 for the seed. He
will take in about $25 from the crop,
which is now gone.
The merchants who have advanced
the farmers money Will have to close
out many this fall. and the question
as to what they will do with the wag-
ons, stock and things they take, is the
question as there win be no one to
buy.
The trusts and the corporations, aid
ed and instlgated by the Republican
party, have placed the necessaries of
life to where people can hardly buy
enough to exist, and hundreds of fam
lilies in east Alabama cannot buy meat
at all. The condition is appalling
and the farmer. as usual, is bearing
the burden the heaviest of all.

PRIMARY QUESTION
AN Absorbing ONE
Alabama Democrats Meet to
Decide Upon Same,
INTEREST AT HIGH PITCH.
Belief Is General that If Primary is
Defeated There viii ee a Political
Revolt and a Stirring Contest at the
Polls in November.


Polls in November.
Montgomery. Ala, July 10-The
Democratic state executive committee
met here today. The absorbing Ques.
ton up for consideration was:
shall there be a general state pri-
mary to nominate a state ticket or
shall there be a conventions" Ninety
per cent of the newspapers in the
state have been long olamoring for
the primary and every candidate who
has announced for state Office has
declared that he wants a primary For.
mer Governor Oates, the only prospec-
tive candidate for senator against Hon
e. W. Pettus, desires a primary for
everything. including that office.
In terast in the matter is at a high
pitch and the belief is general that
if the primary is defeated there will
be a political revolt and a stirring
contest at the polls in November,
IF primary is ordered and the bet
ter opinion seems to be that the com-
mittee will yield to the outcry for one,
the primary itself viii be the theater
of a contest hardly less exciting thar a
revolt would produce 1t is believed
however, that this contest would cen
ter around The office of governor and
perhaps United States senator. 1t Is
not anticipated that the minor state
officers win be involved in the strug-
gle. but each wing will stake its all on
the aovernorship and incidentally the
legislature.
The administration wing of the par.
ty is led. of course, by the insumbenr,
Governor Jelks.
All attempts to poll the counties on
the question Of a primary have failed
More have declared for it than against
it. but the balance of power is held by
at least a third of the members, who
have kept their own counsel.
