Birmingham, Aug. 1s-(Staff Core bpondence.) .)-tAbout six weeks ago when I was in this city at the beginning of the political campaign. there was little talk of politics-everybody was too busy to talk politics, they said. But now one can hear nothing else. business seems to have been sidetracked for the present and politics given the right of way. The headquarters of the two contending fac- tions are here-the Jelks forces at the Metropolitan and the Johnston forces at the Morris. At both places there is to be seen life and hustle from morning un- Zil night, and one can get the most en- ,ouraging news, and the assurances of success from both sides are given.
 The State Committee.
 The State Committee was called togeth- ST to uphold the mandates of the party md to emphasize the fact that there was out one rule for all and that the County Committees would be looked to have them ,beyed and carried out to the letter.
 was surprised to see so much interest manifested and to find more than quo- rum present on the first roll call. Mem bers of the committee had laid aside their private business for the moment end with personal sacrifices and at their own expense had given their time and talent to the good of the party. and if possible to avoid and ward off impend- ing peril and threatening danger to the organization. From the State at large there were present John V. Smith and Steven Smith from the black belt: Chair man Lowe and Tipton Mullins from the northern portion, and T. M. Stevens from the southern part of the State. From the Congressional districts all the members from the Second. Fourth and Fifth Dis fricts were here, with two members from the Seventh and one each from the Third, Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Districts. This may be taken as fair index of the in terests being felt in the political cam paign and from those sections where so much interest is being manifested 1t Is expected that the largest vote will be polled and the greatest majorities rolled up. In the Second, Fourth and Fifth Districts the campaign is warm and the canvass Is being waged earnestly and the good tidings come that Jelks and the new Constitution are arousing the people and will receive large majorities in the primaries. In the Seventh District a splen- did fight Is being made and it will not be surprising if Jelks has a majority there Not a county is being conceded to the other side. but an effort is to be made to carry them all. In Marshall organiza- ton is being had all along the line and only encouraging reports are being re- ceived. Messrs. A M. Tunstall and Elm melt ONeal are candidates for the Legis- 1ature in their counties and they did not attend the meeting of the committee. While the First District was not repre- scented 1t was not taken as any discour- agement. but on the other hand the news at hand is that Jelks and the new Con- stitutton are safe and that is only a question of how large the majority will be. The news from the other districts

that there are no reformatorles or schools in the State to which young negro boys can be sent.
 In granting the parole. the Governor says:
 Because of the extreme youth of the prisoner, and in the absence of a proper place to detain him. let parole issue sub ject to his future good behavior"
 Clarence Sherod is a negro prisoner at Coalburg, who was sentenced to fifteen months imprisonment for the crime of stealing chickens. Sherods parole was recommended by the trial judge and by the solicitor of the Criminal Court of Bir- mingham.
 Sherod was sent up for grand larceny, being given a sentence of five months He was found one night about 1 o'clock with five chickens which were proved to have been stolen. He has served out the full length of his sentence. but he had not yet put in enough time to pay all the costs in the case
 In granting the parole the Governor says:
 This boy has probably been sufficient ly punished. The trial judge, the solici- tor and the Board of Pardons recommend clemency. Let parole issue conditional on his law-abiding conduct"

 in Butler

Greenville Aug. 1S.-(Special.) )A meeting of the Butler County Executive Commit tee was held this morning to take action
 on the proposition made two weeks ago
 by the Populist Executive Committee looking to a joint primary for the nomna-
 tion of county officers at the election in November. After some discussion the following resolution was unanimously adopted by the committee:
 Resolved. That subcommittee be appointed, consisting of four members, to confer with the subcommittee appointed by the Populist Executive Committee and that we accept the proposition made by the Populist Executive Committee, pro- vding for a joint primary. under the
 rules and regulations that may be agreed
 on by the two sub-committces.
 The subcommittee hereby appointed
 has full power to act in the premises.
 and they will make report of the result
 of their conference to the full committee
 on August 18th. 1902
 The committee appointed by the chair

 Porterfied, C. E. Hamilton and w. C.
 Coler.
 The above has no reference to the State election to be held August 18th.
 Dr. R. M Cunningham spoke here to
 
 The speaker was introduced by Captain A. E. Gamble in few well chosen words. The Doctor made one of the best speeches | of his life, and held the undivided atten- | ton of his audience from the start. A | number of ladies were in the audience, | and they joined in the applause which | was literally bestowed. There may have been some Johnston men in the au- dience, but from the applause given Dr. | Cunningham they must have been very | few
 | A few days ago the writer was at But | Ter Springs and at one time there were | twenty-five or thirty men sitting around | the spring house, when a vote was taken | and every man said he would vote for | Jelks, but one. He said he was Johnston | man and would cast his vote that way. II 1 is possible that it was Jelks day at the l Springs, and the Johnston day was com | ing in the sweet by-and-by.
 l The series of meetings at the Methodist Church closed last night. Rev. H. T. | Johnson preached at both services yester- | day to immense audiences. Many were | turned away last night, unable to get seats. His sermon was to young men | and boys and 1t was to the point lie 1 made many friends among the boys and l they were eager to hear every sermon he
 preached. Yesterday mornings discourse
 was to the mothers, and it was sermon l that touched every mother in the audi | ence, and one that will do good. He mas never preached one more appreciated. | Rev. w. A Tahaferro has been indis- | nosed some days and was unable to
 preach yesterday so his congregation at | tended the Methodist Church
