or unprofitably cultivated within the i'm. mediate vicinity of Montgomery was properly and intelligentiy cultivated in vegetables and fruits, and the proceeds canned or otherwise preserved, it would supply all the demands of the present population. There are hundreds of acres almost or quite within sight of the capitol dome which could be made to produce an almost endless variety of food-stuffs, and in practically unlimited quantities. and what Is true of this section Is true of many other places in Alabama. If to these crops were added stock and poultry raising there could be no doubt about the profits.
 In one respect those who live in cities could embark in truck farming, poultry raising, milk and butter production and the like with better prospects of success than can those who have always lived In the country. The city men know better what is needed, the difficulty of procuring it, and the prices demanded, and can thus proceed more intelligently in the work of supplying the demand. But, however this may be, a partial exodus from city to country would be encouraging.

Eastern part of the country. MT. Wat terson's assault helps to make it harder for the decent men to have any part in the management of the party. It Is a trumpet call to the partisan hoodlums and blackguards to resume their activity and their prominence everywhere. If a Demo- crat canpot utter such sentiments as MT. Cleveland expressed on Thursday night without becoming the object of vitupe- ration on the part of other men claiming to be Democrats then heaven help an organization afflicted with such a sur plus of malignity and bedeviment.
 To other quarters one may find similar evidence of unkind feeling developing into Democratic success in the near future. Ohio furnishes such an instance. There the ambitions of the Mayor of Cleveland and the editor of The Cincinnati Enquirer have collided with such force as to threat en party split which should make MT. Hanna and Mr. Foraker extremely happy. The Cleveland Mayor and the Cincinnati editor are wealthy men. The former would like to be nominated for the Presi- dency and the editor is standing candi- date for the United States Senate. Their interests do not harmoniZe on any point, and hence we find the Cincinnati paper declaring that a common-sense policy for the party will not be to make the party a mere apparatus for juggling by some sensational performer in politics." h. stead of having a united party in Ohio we scrap between these two ambitious money-bags. Johnson and McLean-each one possessed of a powerful capacity for saying unpleasant things about the other
