POPULISTS JOINING
 DEMOCRATIC RANKS
Good Reports Received at 0em-
 ocratic State Headquarters
JUDGE ADAMS TAKESSTUMP
Formerly a Prominent Popullst, He Says That Party Now Has No Organization, and He Will
 Assist Democrats.

Several visitors to the headquarters of the democratic state campaign committee yesterday brought news which cheered Chairman Campbell and the members Of his committee who were present.
 There were visitors from several coun- ties that have in recent years been con trolled by the populist party, and the re- ports were to the effect that these coun- ties would fall into the democratic column at the next election.
 Among the prominent callers wer Judge Samuel M. Adams of Chiffon county He has been one of the foremost leaders Of the populist party since it's organization in the state, but with the disruption or that party he returns to the democrats. Giving his reasons for this action Judge Adams said
 "The issue now. Is between the demo- cratic party and the republican party. That is the way I see it. The populist party has lost its organization-it has no state ticket, no platform and no issue. In our county--Chilton--the popu1ist par | ty is simply made a stepping stone Into the republican party and the remnant is being used. The men who are not so well informed as to politics in the state still believe that there is a populist party. These men are honest but their ideas are wrong as to the political issues, and quite a number of them vote the combine on that idea. But we are growing every day. with bright prospects of electing the democratic ticket"
 Judge Adams is one of the most for midable stump speakers in the state and he has been billed for a number Of speeches in the interest of the demo- cratic ticket.
 Dr. Gum also brought good news from Shelby county, which has erected popu- list officials for the past ten years. He said that large portion of the members of the populist party were piedging themselves to vote the democratic ticket in preference to the republican ticket. He believes that the county will give q good democratic majority.
 J. A. Inzer and T. L. Herring of St. Clair reported the democratic party In that county as well organized and with bright prospects for success.

LOOK FOR
 JOHN H. YOUNGLOVE
ON SEPTEMBER 2t HE LEFT HERE FOR STAFFORD SPRINGS, BUT SINCE THEN His WHEREABOUTS ARE UNKNOWN.

An air of mystery surrounds the disap- pearanee of John H. Younglove. and his friends arc wondering what has become of him.
 Several months ago a gold mine in Talladega county was purchased by John H. Younglove. W. K. spearing of Cit ronelle; T. s. Plowman, of Talladega, and N w Thompson, of Birmingham The mine was operated and things ran smoothly for some weeks MT.

 On the 18th of last month he left the mine and came to Birmingham to con- suit physicians as to his health, as he was suffering from Bright's disease. He registered at the Belmont hotel. On the 2st he paid his bill and said he was go- ing to Stafford Springs. Miss. Nothing has been heard from him since, and his friends are uneasy. Later Mir. Thompson and MT. Spearing went to Stafford Springs, but Mr Younglove was not there and no trace of him could be found It was ascertained at the union station that no ticket to Stafford Springs was sold between the 18th of September and the 25th The theory Is that he is still in Birmingham. The police were mo- tifed of his disappearance, put have been unable to locate hls whereabouts
 It is known that when MT. Younglove came to Birmingham he had on his per- son $25. When he left the gold mine six men were at work, but since his dis appearance they have been compelled to stop work, as he was the only one who could conduct it's operations
 The missing man at one time had con- siderable mining interests in California He originally came from Missouri. For several years he has been associated as a partner in the mining business with MT. Spearing. Mir Younglove Is five feet eight inches in height, slightly stopped and has a light moustache. He has light hair, little gray, wears glasses and talks very little.

A. J. Sullivan was last night found guilty of an assault with pistol on William I. Love and fined $l50. The case was on trial all day in the first division of the criminal court. going to the jury about 5:S0 o'clock. 4 verdict was re- turned about o'clock. Sullivan was charged with an assault with intent to murder, and the jury found him guilty of an assault with a pistol.
 Sullivan and Love had a difficulty last February near the corner of Second ave- nue and Ninteenth street. The evidence tended to show that Sullivan at the time met Love and asked him what he had against him, as he had heard that he had made threats. Love denied making the threats, and he was struck by Sulli- van with a pistol. The evidence also showed that Sullivan fired two shots when Love took out his pistol and fired several shots at Sullivan. In the affray neither was hurt.

MANY WATCH THE
 ECLIPSE OF MOON
OWING TO THE CLEAR SKY TIT WAS PLAINLY VISIBLE AND WAS WHAT IS CALLED A LIGHT ECLIPSE.

The eclipse of the moon last night came and went on time. The shadow of the earth was visible on the face of the moon for two hours and thirty-three minutes, a portion of the time it being only par tial but something like half hour the eclipse was total.
 Many watched the various phases of the eclipse from the time 1t became visible to the naked eye at 1O:17 o'clock until the shadow had completely disappeared at 12:5O o'clock. For an hour before the eclipse was visible to the naked eye and for an hour afterwards it could be seen in the penumbra with a glass.
 The phases of the eclipse, as seen in Birmingham, were as follows:
 Moon entered penumbra 9:17 ?. m. Moon entered shadow ............, ,10:17 pm. Total eclipse began ...............1l:l9 D. m. Middle of eclipse .................12:O3 a. m. Total eclipse ended ...............12:4S a m. Moon left shadow ................. 1:5O a. m. Moon left penumbra ............. 2:50 a m.
 It was feared by some that the ashes from Mount Pelee would obscure entirely the glow while in total eclipse, but dull copper-colored tint could be seen, show ing where the moon was. This Is due to the suns rays being defected around the earth and into the shadow cast by it upon the moon. The clearness of the at mosphere surrounding the earth depends on the amount of light which may be seen during an eclipse If there are heavy clouds there will be dark eclipse, and if the sky is clear there is a light eclipse The one last night and this morning was very light there not being a cloud to obscure it in any way.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Fruit trees and fruit require potash
for their best development.
With house plants all extreme
changes of temperature should be
avoided. -I sd ST.. ..s
Too many trees prevent rapid growth
and extend the time when grove is
well shaded. " @.. .....
Grapevines like their roots to be near
the surface, and the food for them
should not be placed at too great a
depth.
Small growth and too much small
fruit go together. Thrifty growth fur

Of fruit. -
There is no use in growing tree
very tall. The top limbs are apt to be-
come slender and break if fruit is pro
