 Mobile. Nov 1.-(special.)-The an- nouncement in yesterdays Advertiser that a colony was soon to be located in Mobile County by a capitalist who meant business. has created much speculation as to the location and the writer was in terrogated in several places as to location. name of the investor. etc. E.-.
 J. E. Blackburn, Ph. G., State Dairy Food Commissioner for Ohio, with his residence at Columbus. O., is the pro- to in yesterdays article. The lands pur- chased by MT. Blackburn are 5000 acres located in and around Theodore. this County, twenty-five miles by rail and about half that distance by water from the County court house in this city. The Louisville and Nashville and the Mobile and Bay Shore Railroads, pass through the lands. Dog and West Fowl rivers are to the north and south of the lands and small streams intersperse the territory. affording plenty of water. The purchase was on a spot cash basis.
 MT. Blackburn stated that he, in view of his position of State Dairy Food Com- missioner for Ohio, for number of years past, has an extensive acquaintance in his State and has every facility for bringing desirable people into the terri tory to purchase small tracts of this land for truck and fruit farming. He has se- cured the services of Lewis Bart. Coun- ty Surveyor, who is already engaged in laying off the land and preparing a plat of it. Mir. Blackburn proposes to reserve l60 acres of the land on which to erect a winter home for his own use and also some on which to lay off and build drive ways and establish public park for use of the people in the neighborhood. He will plant oak and other trees on this reservation and mako 1t an attractive spot.
 The promoter also proposes to set apart a sufficient amount of the land to be de- voted to the erection of a village or town. which will enhance the value of the ad- joining lands. MT. Blackburn stated to the writer that he did not purchase the land with a view to making an invest ment, further than to secure to himself a good winter home In section which he has already realized is most desir- able one. With the class of people on the surrounding lands which he proposes to bring there he feels that his home will be in a most desirable locality and in land where all can find a means of livelihood who show a desire to work for a few years until they have gotten their lands in shape to bring forth food stuff in abun- dsnuS.
 The land purchased by the Ohioan is of a dark chocolate sandy loam variety, well suited to the culture of cabbage. pota- toes, strawberries sugar cane. rice and Tn 10 xyfrinffV of and A01Oln- ing these lands are already located many farmers who are receiving substantial revenue from their investments. They are good ctizens and, with the advent of others from Ohio. the lands. which for A half century have been lying idle. so to speak, will be made to produce abundant ly and the revenues to the State and County increased accordingly through in- creased taxation.

Worn out by years of suffering, thousands of dis couraged women are allowing them selves to drift helplessly, day by day, nearer and nearer to an invalid's grave.

Surprise Awaits Democrats.

If the Democrats are figuring on max

Illinois With the President.

THE impression is pretty general in
Illinois that President Roosevelt will
recommend some antitrust legislation
at the next session of Congress" said
Judge w. B. Wright, of Springfield, at
the Raleigh last evening, land on the
subject the people are with the Presi-
dent. But to. my way of thinking such
an important party policy will have a
scant showing at a short session of Con-
gress. I've paid attention TO Congress
sional proceedings for more than twenty
years, and II my memory serves me right
no measure involving a party policy,
such as the trusts or the tariff, was ever
enacted into law at short session.
And l take it there will be no exception
in this instance. Anti-trust legislation
should not be a party question, but it
will be Just the same, and for that rea
son it will fail If attempted next win

CHAT HEARD IN HOTEL CORRIDORS.
Speaker Henderson's Successor.

Speaker Hendersons successor will
be ex-Gov. Horace Boies, and he will
carry the district by substantial ma
jority." said NJ. A. Bradford. a promi-
nent business man of Dubuque at the
Ebbitt last evening Speaker Hender-
son could easily have been reelected. :"
added Mr. Bradford, "but he did not like
the boss spirit displayed by Governor
Cummins on the tariff question Du-
buaue county is Democratic by from
5000 to 1000 majority. 1t sends Demo-
Gratis to the Legislature and elects
Democratic county officers, but when
Senator Allison is up for reelection the
county invariably goes Republican. and
this is accounted for on the ground of
Senator Allisons great personal popu-
larity with the voters. And it was this
way with Mr.. Henderson. He could
carry the county by about 200 majority.
Now this time he is not a candi-
date, which means that Ex-Governor
Boies will receive the full Democratic
vote of the county. And the Democratic
majority in Dubuque county will insure
the election of Ex-Governor Boies. An
other thing that makes a Democratic
victory in the district certain is this:
Speaker Henderson. since Withdrawing
from the race. has refrained from taking
any active part in the campaign. And it
is not likely that his followers will get
out and hustle to swell the vote in the
district.
"f Ex-Governor Boies is elected he
will be candidate for Speaker. provided
the Democrats control the House."

Coal and the Tariff.

Now that the coal strike has beer
settled" said George C. Rhea, of West
virginia, at the Hotel Johnson last
evening, you will not hear so much
about putting coal on the free list. We
had no trouble with the miners in West
Virginia. for they have perfect under
standing with the operators. We be-
lieve in protection in our State, and
Senators Elkins and Scott are not like
ly to advocate placing coal on the free
list, nor, for that later, will they urge
any tariff revision that will lessen the
protection to our industries l know
the miners in West Virginia are op-
posed to taking the tariff off coal, and
l think they can exert some little in
fuence against the proposition. 1 look
for fall in the price of coal, but I'm
afraid the people in cities like Wash
ington will not get their coal much TN.

Have Faith in Signs.

The employees of the House say that
If there is anything in signs then the Re-
publicans will control the next House by
an increased majority. They base their
opinion on the fact that of the twelve
members who have died since the 4th Of
March, 1901, eight were Democrats,
namely, Burke, Sheppard, and De Graf
fenreid of Texas, Stokes of South Car
olina, Otey of Virginia, Polk of Penn
sylvania, Salmon OF New Jersey, and
Cummings of New York
This fatality among the Democrats
has acted as wet blanket, and ac-
counts in large measure, the House
employees say, for the general apathy
that has marked the Democratic meet
ings throughout the various Congress
districts.
