 Sen. J. c.

He was accompanied by his wife Mr White and his private secre- tary. They were met at the union station by a large delegation of enthusiastic members of the party and escorted to the Hillman.
 Senator Pritchard Pleased.
 Senator Pritchard expressed himself as delighted at being able to attend the meeting of the Alabama republicans when the outlook of the party was so bright and the enthusiasm at such high pitch, as he judged it to be by the re- ports he had received. During the day Senator Pritchard will address the mem bers of the convention.
 At the Hillman tonight at o'clock banquet will be given in his honor. This will be brilliant in every respect. The invitation committee which has charge of the arrangements, consists of Truman H. Aldrich, J. Carter Cook, Joseph B. Montgomery, J. B. Wallace and J. W. Hughes

Only two or three names have been definitely settled upon.
 Probable Candidates.
 J. T. McEldery of Talladega formerly a democratic state senator. will in all probability be named for governor. He is a prominent manufacturer and a business man of influence. For lieutenant gover- nor number of names have been mem toned. but none with enough definite ness to warrant the statement that they will even be suggested to the convention proper.

a British company having almost I'M
limited capital. The commercial war
fare which Immediately ensued finds
parallel, perhaps, in the fight for SUI
premacy between the early trading
and fur companies in our own north
west. The British National African
Company" prevailed, as did the Hudson
Bay Fur company on this continent.
1t is said of them in this commercial
struggle with the French that they
bribed native chiefs not to make treat
les with the French; and that compe-
tition became so fierce that the French
with their lesser resources found it
impossible to carry on a paying export
trade. At this point the British COM
pany kindly offered to buy out the
French companies for spot cash" and
the offer was accepted. This contest
took place shortly before the Berlin
conference and was concluded in time
to enable the British representative
at that convention to declare that the
British company alone had commercial
dealings in the basin of the Lower
Niger. Thereafter the British COM
pany held supreme commercial sway
in the Niger River country and two
years after the conference they Sc
cured a charter under the new name,
The Royal Niger company. They con-
tinued to, make treaties with native
chiefs and welded the country into
unit that strengthened the British,po-
litical claim to the territory.
With the city of Logos as a seaport
and with a recognized British protec-
torate over large area of the most
promising of African lands the com
mercial future of the company and of
the colony is assured.
The Niger river is justly one of the
most famous of African streams. At
the confluence of the Benue and Nj
ger rivers the Niger is about three
quarters of a mile wide and the Benue
is one mile wide, the united stream be-
ing not unlike a lake. From this point
the great river rushes through a-deep
valley and then energies, near the sea-
coast, into an eXpanse of lowland,
much of which is under water during
the flood seasons Here begins one of
the most elaborate delta systems in
the world. The swampy, channel-cut
region extends for 100 miles along the
coast and quite 40 miles inland. A
curious fact concerning the Niger and
Benue rivers is that they are not in
flood at the same time. their sources
being found in widely separated dis
tricts. In June tropical rains swell the
Upper Niger. while the Benue reaches
its greatest height in August or Sep
TENDER. Below the confluence the
character of the Niger changes. ac-
cording as it is Influenced by the flood
water of one or the other of these
differing streams. MILTON MARKS.

wholly different conception of the

the best of them could qualify for

course, when an artist has developed a

more than one woman cartoonist at a
