Governors Council of Massachusetts.
IS announced as a candidate for Con
gress in the Tenth district. Some
tine ago it was said that he would
study for the ministry. He had such
a plan in mind, but eventually went
INTO the real estate business. It has
been said that there are 1000 colored
voters in the Tenth district but a
more conservative estimate is 800.
Now the Republicans of a Northern
district will have an opportunity to
renew their allegiance to the colored

THE FLAG OF TWENTY-SIXTH
 ALABAMA REGIMENT.

The Florence Herald of Friday con- tained the following interesting history of the flag carried by the 26th Alabama Regiment through seventeen battles, and with the sketch was a picture of the all tattered and torn relic:
 The flag here reproduced was made and presented to the 26th Alabama by the la dies of Williamsburg, Va, just after the hattle of the Wilderness in which their flag was shot to pieces, and until recent ly has been preserved by John M. Hayes, of Limestone County, Regimental Sur geon.
 The regiment was originally composed of companies from Marion, Fayette, La mar and Lauderdale counties, with Col onel w. R. Smith in command. The list of the battles through which the flag passed are printed on a piece of white satin attached to 1t. They are: York town. Williamsburg Seven Pines Me- hanicsville, Gaines Mill, Cold Harbor, Malvern Hill Cedar Run. Second Manas- sas Sharpsburg, Boonsboro Sheperds- town. Fredericksburg. Gettysburg, Will Transport, Charlottesville and Mine Run.
 The manner in which it was preserved from destruction by Dr. Hayes makes a very interesting story. It was the night before the surrender at Appomattox and rather than have their beloved flag fall into the hands of the enemy the men had gathered around the camp fire to burn 1t. All hearts were saddened by the events of the day and with tear stained faces the boys in gray were gazing for the last time upon its tattered folds. At this juncture Dr Hayes asked that the flag be given to him. His request was refused. He then asked that he be allowed to give it a last embrace and before anyone knew what he was about, he had fled with it to the tent of the Colonel. where the men could not follow him, That night he wrapped it around the body of his faith ful negro valet and after the surrender carried it safely through the lines and back to Alabama.
 The flag was never put on exhibition until a reunion of the 26th Regiment was held at Fayette. Ala, in 1896. After an appropriate address by Cecil A. Beasley of this city, who had charge of 1t, he reached behind him and raising the flag from a table, waved it In the air. The scene that followed was one of the wild est excitement. Standing on their chairs they threw their hats in the air and gave utterance to such sounds as had not been heard since the rebel yell put their ene- mics to flight. Since that time 1t has at- tended many reunions and was con- spicuous object when the veterans met in Memphis last year.
 It is now in possession of Major A. M. O Neal son of the late Governor F. A. O'Neal who was Colonel of the famous regiment after Colonel Smith.
 Of the brave host who composed the regiment only about seventy-five are now living,

to the protection of the public against the rapacity sof the trustI should answer without hesitation uniformity of control. Trusts are being organized in forty-fve States with the greatest diversity of fran chise. Every such corporation is foreign except within the limits of the parent State. It must halt at every State line and submit to any condition that each of the other States may impose upon its entry. Oftentimes such enabling condi- tions operate as a handicap in interstate commerce. It is hopeless to expect that any uniform system of creation or regu- lation will be arrived at between the several States. To be efficient, the scheme must be national.
 'The inherent deficiency lies in our dual system of the government, and the strict limitations of federal jurisdiction under a
 written constitution. If Congress could
 be invested with this power of supervis- ion and control, the corporations of this country would be compelled to heed the Divine injunction, Remember thy creator | in the days of thy youth

 General Conditions.
 The week as a whole was very cool, temperatures averaging somewhat below the daily normal, but the first three days were dry and generally favorable for cot ton picking and minor crops; heavy to excessive rains were quite general over the greater portion of the State, on the 10th and 11th retarding ,all farm work and stopping cotton picking, but putting ground in good condition for fall blowing The heavy rains beat out and stained much of the cotton remaining unpicked: :: practically all the cotton is open though there is still some fruiting in favored To- calities; some few report bolls rotting on bottom land: 1t is very nearly all picked, and is being ginned and marketed rapid- ly: reports now confirm previous esti- mates that this seasons cotton crop will make the lightest yield in many years with the top crop hardly worthy of note. Corn is being housed rapidly with a gen. eraliy light yield; some hay was saved but much grass and pea-vine hay was damaged by the rain; sweet potatoes field peas, sorghum, sugar cane, peanuts and turnips are making good progress and will give generally fair yields, ex- cept sweet potatoes, which will be light; more fall oats and rye, and some wheat were sown. The present indications are that the average area will be devoted to wheat and oats.
