ports Bridgeport is far ahead of any of the

 ''In the closing days of the last Gen. eral Assembly the spirit of Francis L.. Pettus of Dallas, passed from th@ scenes of earthly activity. leaving v0id in the State of Alabama which 1t VIII be hard to nll

THE SOUTH'S FERTILITY.
sPLENDrDLY SIT FORTH BY o.
 L. STONE.
L. & N. Man Delivers Most Interest ing Speech Before Tri-state Convention of Commercial,
 Industrial and Agrf-
 cultural Clubs.

New Orleans. Jan. H.--Fuliy one hun dred delegates from various cities throughout the States of Louisiana. Tex as and Mississippi were present in the Progressive Union Hall when the tri- State convention of commercial. indus trial and agricultural clubs was called to order. Secretary Richardson of the Progressive Union presided.
 Among those pressnt was Professor Milton Whitney. chief of plant industry in the United States Department of Az riouIture. Dr. Whitney told of the work of his department and the progress that is being made in determining the sections of the country best adapted for the rais- ing of certain products.
 Addresses in line with the objects of the convection were made by S. F. B. Morse of the Southern Pacific, George H. Smith of the Northeastern. A. H. Hansoh of the Illinois Central. c. l.. Stone of the Louisville and Nashville. and E. P. Tur- ner of the Texas and Pacific.
 MT. Stone said, In part;
 The soil of these States possessea mn ~S~~~~~A~S &&AA 1AStNA@ UkA REOu0CCkOuH known to temperate xones, and many of the tropical fruits are raised in the great est abundance and with little cultivation. Some of the land has been under cuitiya- ton for seventy-five years, and is still highly productive without the use of fer tilizers. Records show that in certain sections stxty-thres annual crops have been raised in succession without Q sin- gle failure Wheat. oats, barley, rye, etc. are extensively and prohtabiy cul- tivatsd, as are also cotton and corn. There is no section of the world where fruits and vegetables are grown in greater pro fusion or to such wonderful perfection. The yields are enormous and the crops mature so early as to reach markets ahead of all othera, realizing top prices. This section exceis particularly in. its strawberries. which are large in size and very firm, assuring arrival at mar kats in perfect condition. As high as R.4S0 quarts of strawberries have been raised on single acre. yielding $5sS net to the grower.
 Tn the cultivation of vegetables for tunes are being made and the industry is growing rapidly. Last year twenty two carloads Of radishes alone were shipped from Bay St. Louis, Long Beach and Pass Christian. Miss. and that was the urst year In tht1 venture.
 "As an example of the productiveness or the soil, man prspared one acre of land and raised Irish potatoes, sweet po- tatoes and corn in one season, the crops selling for $574.
 The output of coal in Alabama is al- most beyond comprehension. Texas and Louisiana have made a name for them selves by their enormous crops Of rice and sugar cane.
 T have mentioned only 6 few of the industries that may be located and ope- rated to the interest of their owners in the South. It is only a question of time until the people of the North will real ize the riches of ths South, and then the cry will be, go South, young man."

ARE SLOW
POLL TAX MUST BE PAID BY
 FEBRUARY l.
Collector Halls Calls Attention to Necessity of Paying So That Citizens May Vote in Com
 ing Elections.

Since October 1. 1902. only 2s3 poll taxes have been paid in Montgomery County by non-property owners.
 The poll tax lists will be closed on Feb ruary and unless a greater activity is manifested by the poll tax payers. the votes in primary and general elections this spring will be lignt. These taxes must be paid before the voter is qualified unless ne IS exempted by the Constitu- tion.
 Tax Collector George w. Halls of Mont goInery County, sald yesterday that no definite idea could as yet be reached as to the number of poll tax payers who had met the requirements up to date.
 Most of the property owners, he said, had turned in their poll taxes along with the other tithes. Their exact number, he could not state.
 But only z23 non-property holders have paid their poll tax" said Collector Hatls. and it seems that there Is no way to bring them in."
 Those who intend participating in the municipal primary in April cannot quai- ify unless the poll tax is paid by Feb ruary 1. In the case of those who failed to pay their poll tax last year. the as- sessment for the two years will have to be forthcoming before they can vote in any election this year.

CLAYTON TO PELHAM
CONGRESSMAN ANSWERS CON-
 TESTANT FOR SEAT.
General Oates Serves Reply on Henry County Rpublican Who Preferred Charges Against Representa-
 tive of Third District.

General W. c. Oates returned last night from Dothan, where he served upon J. P. Pelham the answer of Hon. Henry D. Clayton, to charges filed by Mr. Pelham who Is oontesting the seat of MT. Clay ton as Congressman from the Third Dis trict.
 MT. Clayton is represented by General Oates and Hon. Allen H. Merrill of Flu
 In filing his contest with the National House of Representatives MT. Pelham, who Is a Republican, charged that MT. Clayton was illegally elected to the Fifty eighth Congress because negroes were de- prived of their right to vote contrary to the Federal Constitution and attacked the validity of the new state Constitution. He also charged that in Henry County the ballots, used in the election, were i'm properly prepared by the Probate Judge and that in such County in the District the election ''abounded in fraud"
 The reply Of Mr. Clayton, copy of which was served on MT. Pelham by Gen eral Oates in person yesterday. Is salty. The document is lengthy and goes into minute detail of the public and private record of MT. Pelham. It denies specifi- caIly the allegations of Mr. Pelham. says he is not the nominee of his parry and lis not fit to be- and charges that MT. Pei ham has been debarred from the practice of law in Alabama
 General Oates said last night that some time would be consumed in taking evil dence in the case if MT. Pelham sees fit to continue 1t.
 The friends of Mir. Clayton do not re- gard the contest seriously.
