MT. Poole Talks.

R. R. Poole, Commissioner of Agricul- ture of Alabama, passed through the city today on his way home from Marengo County. Mr. Poole was in the best of spirits and says he is a candidate to sue ceed himself whether there is a conven- ton. a primary or a scrub race. When asked about the registration of negroes in Marergo, Mir. Poole said that he thought the matter had been greatly exaggerated. He said that in his own beat which votes four hundred negroes. certificate of registration had been given to but one negro. and that In three biggest negro beats in the county not over twenty negroes had been registered. Mir. Poole says that some of the leading men of those beats wanted to register the negroes. but the registrars refused to allow them to be registered and that doubtless a great many of the rumors that had gotten afioat had come from the effort of these leading men to have certi- cates issued tp these negroes. Dr. Brooks Thomas, Mayor of 1'homaston was standing by and said that about four hundred negroes usually voted at Thomas ton and that out of that number not over ten had been given certificates. MT. Poole said he was satisfied that over 90 per cent of the negroes of Marengo would be disfranchised.
 As the news had gone out through this department of The Advertiser. gathered from what was considered a reliable source. that a wholesale registration of negroes was taking place In Marengo. this statement from Mr. Poole ought to put quietus to all the rumors that have been afioat and the Democracy of the State will be greatly gratified that the spirit of the new constitution is being carried out in Marengo as it is being done in the other blackbelt counties.

WEEKS WINDS DAMAGING
TO CROPS IN ILLINOIS

The Illinois crop bulletin for the
week ending April 20 says:
The past week has been one of
very changeable temperature condi-
tons, periods of warm and cold
weather succeeding each other rap
| idly. The end of the week. however
was warm. Generally dry weather,
with occasional local showers, pre-
vailed during the early part of the
week, but Thursday night and Friday
heavy rains occurred generally over
the northern district and the north
western part of the central district.
The rains occurring at this time di-
unfinished toward the south and in a
few localities only very light showers
occurred. On Sunday night showers
occurred over the southern part of
the state, so that practically the en-
tire state has had sufficient rain dur
ing the week to put the surface of
the soil in good condition as regards
moisture. The growth of vegetation
was delayed by the unfavorable CON
ditions of the early part of the week
but the favorable conditions which
prevailed later have generally start
crop conditions at the present time
show decided improvement over
those of last week. There has been
some damage by frost, but it has not
been serious. The soil has generally
been in good condition for tiIlage. but
farm work has been interrupted i'm
few localities by heavy rain and wet
ground. Wheat deterioratcd slightly
during the early part of the week
on account of dry weather, but the
rains of the latter part have caused
"a decided Improvement. The i'm
provement has been most decided in
the central and northern portions.
the good rains in the south having
been too recent to have effected much
change as vet. In some localities
oats arc in an unpromising condi-
ton, the stand being poor and The
growth slow. There has also been
some damage by high winds. In
general. however, there has been con-
siderable Improvement in the crop
during the week. and in some To-
ralities it is very fine. The prepara-
ton of corn ground has progressed
rapidly and is generally nearing COM
pletion. Considerable corn has been
planted i'm some localities. The
growth of pastures and meadows has
been retarded by dry weather early in
the week, but good rains later have
started a growth. Stock has been
turned ON pasture i'll many localities.
but not generally throughout the
state. Considerable spring sown
clover has been killed by late freezes.
Gardens have been backward. but
are now growing more rapidly. Po-
tatocs have nearly all been planted
and many early ones are up. As a
rule the prospect for fruit, except
peaches. is promising. y few CORES
pondents say the apple prospects are
not very favorable In parts of the

seedlings, promise a fair crop
