Recent Mississippi Campaign.

Col R. M. Levy of West Point, Miss, who was manager of the recent cam paign of Judge Critz for governor, is at the Morris hotel. He will spend a few days in the city and afterwards will go to the east for his health. He has a number of friends in Birmingham whom he always stops to see when passing this way.
 Colonel Levy speaks in the highest terms of Major vardaman, the success ful candidate and expects him to make a fine governor. He states that he has but one serious regret about the cam paign, and that this was the revival of the race question.
 In speaking of the matter, Colonel Levy said that he did not think there could be a worse thing than to drag race questions into politics in the south and that the less said about it the better In Mississippi, he said, the question seemed to be settled, the negroes living as the tenants and the white people as the land lords, so to speak, while the for mer had no voice in politics and cleo tions.
 He speaks of the campaign as being one of the warmest he ever went through but says that with all the heat of the fight he Is glad to be able to state that his side conducted a clean battle and did not resort to mud singing. Judge critz. he said, takes the matter like philosopher and bows to the will of the people.

THE GREATEST LABOR DAY

From the New York World.
 Throughout the United States yester- days celebration of Labor Day was the most general and the most satisfactory ever known. Blessed in all the large cities but one with favoring weather smiled upon by prosperity and eemented by the organization of many new trades into unions. the parades in a hundred different places showed improvement over those of three of four years ago, or even of last year. Such cities as New ark, Cleveland and Rochester turned out in line two or three times the number of the shamefaeed remnant that slunk after Parks and Devery through the streets of this great metropolis. And everywhere the fine quality as well as the number of men was noticeable.

The Fair.

''The state fair, which will be held here next month, should easily surpass all for mer exhibitions,' said a Shelby county farmer. "The criticisms that agricultural people have made heretofore was on the small exhibits from Alabama farms. The fact Is, there has usually been little in the way of crops that we could bring to the fair. except cotton. This year it will be different. The cereal crops are fine and in many sections the orchard pro- ducts are quite good.
 We should find here large display of live stock, poultry, fruits, cotton and corn. The management of the fair Is, I understand, alive to the importance of getting the farmers interested In the fair and with the proper system and energy, it's efforts will be crowned with success" :"

 The Harry Brookses of life are not all burglars, nor are the rascals all beetle- browed persons with one-sided physiogno- mics and various marks of degeneracy which enable them to be spotted at a glance.

A government monopoly and fac
tory for the preparation Of opium has
been established at Fukien, China.
Hereafter all opium smokers who wish
to purchase the drug must obtain from
this establishment badges which are of
three classes, viz: First, brass badge,
which is for the government officials;
second, paper badge, which is for the
gentry, and third, wooden badge, which
is for the common people On these
badges are written the names Of the
opium smokers. their ages, their adj
dresses and the quantity Of opium they
are allowed to buy daily, which is to be
decided and limited By the government
officials and which cannot be deviated
from at any time. The interest Of
Americans for this news consists in
the fact that from the province Of Flu
