PROCEEDINGS UNLIKELY.
To Bring Suit Against the Roads
 Would Not Be Practicable.

Washington, October Alt Is not be- lieved here that a resort to proceedings against the coal-carrying roads on the charge of imposing unlawful rates, as has been suggested is improbable on account of its jmpracticability to accomplish speedy results in the present case. Should such proceedings be instituted the roaus could protect the litigation for two or three years in carrying the case finally to the United States supreme court.
 As the coal moves mostly from the pro ducing state to other states in the Union, inc carriers and their rates are subject to the jurisdiction that congress conferred on the interstate commerce commission. Those informed on the subject say there vould be little difficulty in getting some comnetent person to make a formal com. nlaint on which the commission is en- no,vered to notify the carrier and afford tbem a hearing and then to institute and carry on an investigation 70 determine whether the rates they charge Tor trans poi tating coal are unjust and unreasor- able within the meaning Of the ilrst sec tion of the act to regulate commerce. IT inc commission's Bindings should be ad- verse to the compaHtes it would order the carriers to ceasSy ttpi,sihg such rates, though tne comnitsa 6l, cannot prescribe in s,,ch a case lttI Mates that should be substituted.

As to State Affairs.

In discussing state affairs MT. Smith devoted his remarks principally to a dis cussion of the new constitution, explaiii- ing that nls party had fought it's ratiflca- tion largely because they believed the temporary registration plan unconstitu- tional, and they feared that in case of ratification it would not be fairly admin istered He said the adoption of the fif- teenth amendment was the severest blow ever dealt the south, and that the best thing that congress could do would be to repeal it. MT. Smith said that certain democratic newspapers had charged that because, as a lawyer, he Lad declared his belief that the temporary plan is uncon stitutional, that he wanted it tested in the courts. This construction, he declared was illegitimate Senator Morgan, Frank s. White Judge Jones, General Harrison and other members of the convention had declared the plan unconstitutional but they were not charged with wanting it tested in the courts. The plan had been carried out much better than he had ex- pected. He declared that the temporary plan had now had its day, and it was up to the legislature to adopt a permanent plan. He hoped to see a very much letter election law enacted.
 He said that the democrats had adout- ed a policy declaring for fair elections, and he believed that they desired to carry
 
 them to the contract, he said. The peo- pie should know the candidates and plat forms and vote independently.
 Opposes Basis of Representation.
 MT. Smith declared that the one section of the new constitution which the re- publicans desired to have repealed was the fixing of representation in the leg islature upon a population rather than a voting basis. He said 1t was unfair to the white people of north Alabama. To illustrate Dallas with twenty-two hun dred registered voters, had three repre- sentatives and one senator, while De- Kalb with forty-two hundred registered voters, has but one representative and half senator.
 MT. Smiths speech was even tempered and free from abuse or any attempt to appeal to passion. It appears that the question of representation is to be made the leading issue in the campaign.
 The crowd in the court house today appeared a little curious to know what Chairman Howard and MT. Street would say In opening the meeting, MT. How ard said he was proud to be the presid- ing officer under existing circumstances. He congratulated the white people upon the elimination of the negro vote, which meant that white men could divide in their views. The announcement that he would vote the republican ticket Tor the reason that he believed if successful It meant the beginning of more capital into the state, and endorsement of protection would mean greater industrial develop ment was greeted with applause.
 Mir Street followed closely MT. Smith in his line of argument. He favored a protective tariff and expansion.

''LILLY WHITES"
 OPEN CAMPAIGN Republicans and Populists Fire Guns from Same Stump SMITH, HOWARD, STREET
Candidate for Governor Devotes His Remarks to National Affars and Alabama's New Constitution.
 Opposes Representation Basis.

Fort Payne, October 4-(Special) 1.-The campaign of the lily white republicans in Alabama had its formal launching here today. The meeting was truly lily white. not a negro appearing but it was not so perfectly republican. The presid- ing officer was a populist, former Con- gressman Milton ". Howard of "If Christ Should Come to Congress- fame. There were two speeches-one by re- publican and another by a self-declared populist Republican doctrines were ad- vocated by both speakers.
 The speakers were J. A. w. Smith, re- publican nominee for governor, and Oll- yer D. Street, the ..z-.---.4o of the repub- licans for congress in the seventh dis trict. While the meeting had been well advertised in the hope of securing large audience to assist in the launching, the courtroom in which the speaking took place. was only comfortably filled. This was, in measure, due to the threaten ing weather.
 General interest was manifested in the meeting here today because II was ex- pected that the policy and line of cam paign to be adopted by the newly organ ized party would be set forth. MT. Smith devoted much the greater portion oi hlS speech to national issues, arguing for protective tariff as the best means to develop the mineral wealth of the state' upholding the policy of expansion, assert ing reasons why he thought the rcpub- licans are best capaciated to cope with the trusts, and arguing that the election of the state republican ticket would be the best means to induce capital to come to Alabama.

LAWN FETE.

The old expression "winter lingering in
the lap of spring" seems especially appli-
cable to this season, but we sincerely hope
she will jump down before May list, on
which occasion the Cemetary Association
intend giving an interesting Lawn Fete at
the delightful home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Tay-
lor Cade on east Main street. The blessed
little folks will entertain and be enter
tanned from O. clock until they get tired.
Older folks enjoying their wonderful little
exhibitions Of grace and delightfulness
generally as much or more than the chill
dren themselves. At night there will be o
different program and q greater variety in
refreshments, including coffee, salades,
etc. That everybody will be there (wind
and weather permitting) seems foregone
conclusion. The object Of this work is to
build sexton lodge and improve the Gem
etery in every way. A larger membership
is very desirable. There seems to be n
misapprehension as to the amount Of ser
vice to which the membership fee Of 25c
Der month entities one. The arrangement
is that every member of the Association
has q right to expect that their lot shall be
kept clean, that is the grass kept cut. Ii
this is neglected they should speak to the
committee on ground improvement. II
extra work such as removing all grass, and
keeping it rooted out, or flower planting
and many other plans for ornamentine
individual lots is required of the sexton, it
would be better (if conveniently to let the
committee know. They could no doubt,
correct many mistakes of which there has
been some complaint. Come to the lawn
fete on the first Of May, and let all who
are interested in making this resting place
more worthy of our loved ones join the
Association and help to make our Gene
etery garden spot of which we can fee
proud. M. u. PoMERoY.

CONGRESSMAN BROUSSARD'S SPEECH.

Hon. X. F. Broussard has earned
the plaudits and gratitude of the
people Of the Third District, as
we'll as the whole State, by his re-
cent mastery defense of the sugar
industry in recent speech in the
house Of Representatives, during
the debate upon the Bill to reduce
the tariff on Cuban sugar 20 per
cent. With skillfull hand he
tore aside their veil of sympathy
for Cuba and showed in all its hid
eousness- the plans and purposes Of
the sugar trust. He also scored
those thick skinned Democrats who
are voting with the Republicans to
deprive a large number of fellow
Democrats of needed protection on
the ground that by SO doing they
were in the interests Of tariff re-
form. Mr.. Broussard shows con-
clusively that there is nothing in
the pending bill that a democrat
can support, that it is bill form
ulated by republicans only, and in
line with others Of the same nature
from away back, and right here
the memory of republican Congress
men were greatly refreshed by the
"reminiscences which Mr.. Brous-
sard produced. 1t was a disgrace
full array of facts showing the utter
insincerity Of the republican ma
iority whenever they choose to favor
party interests, utterly disregard
ing the interests Of their supporters
when they clash with their deep
laid schemes. The present bill is
disgrace to the republican party,
and not an iOta Of excuse can be
found for it's support by Demo
Gratis, which fact Mr.. Broussard so
pointedly and graphically exhibits.
Ever since Mr.. Broussard's en-
trance to the House Of Representa-
tives his course has always been
marked by conservatism, wisdom,
and courageous attitude and ad-
vocacy for the great sugar interests
of this State, and of the entire
country, and proof Of his speech
was warmly commended by lead
ing men Of both parties in the
House. Mr.. Broussard, your con
stituents salute you, and remark,
"Well done, good and faithful SER
want. +"

TRUCK GARDENING.

We have often reverted to the
subject of raising vegetables for
market at this point, claiming that
our soil aud climate has no super
ior for the successful and econom-
ical production Of every known
vegetable. Scarcely a day in the
year can be found in which some
thing cannot be drawn from the
garden. All that is necessary is
careful and intelligent planning
for succession Of crops. We have
recently been confirmed in our be.
lief by visit to one of our gardens
within the corporate limits of this
town. A plot of land $50 by $50
feet having been laid out syste-
matically, in twenty-five beds, $50
feet long, all properly drained and
we'll fertilized with stable manure,
deeply plowed and cultivated until
each bed is highlypulverized and in
fine condition and kept so.
We noticed in the garden
growing in great luxuriance,
fine beds of lettuce, sweet
and tender, Of from IL to Is inches
diameter, beets, cabbage, cauli-
flowers, leeks, onions, Lima beans,
bunch beans, tomatoes, egg plants,
and peas Of every variety, in every
stage OF growth, from the mature
pod to those just peeping out OF
the ground, Irish potatoes, kohl
rabi, celery, melons Of the cele-
brated Rocky Ford variety, also
watermelons of all the favorite
kinds. The system followed by
this gardener, allows no waste OF
time, for the ground is always
employed, three and even four
crops are taken from the same plot
of ground. There were also fe
trees, peaches, pears, chestnuts and
mulberries in this garden, besides
a fine variety Of strawberries, all
growing in the most luxuriant
manner, and in abundance sufi'
cient for several families. All this
is accomplished by one of our bust.
ness men, who devotes two hours
daily to the work Of this garden.
II such splendid results can be OBJ.
tanned in such a manner, what can
be accomplished where a person
makes ii his business and study,
using modern methods and fertiliz'
ers, and on such a scale of magni'
tude as to justify the erection Of q
factory for the purpose Of canning
and preserving the product OF the
garden. This is great subject
and cannot be properly treated
within the purview of a single
article. We shall revert to il
again.
