Councilmen Bury Ratchet.

Councilmen M. J. Meyer of the Third Ward and John R. Smith of the Fourth ward met today and settled amicably the differences that have existed between them since the last regular meeting of the, City Council. when they auarreled over remark made by Mir. Meyer.
 The meeting occurred at the East End Pharmacy, where the Councilmen were brought together by mutual friends. There had been misunderstanding and these were satisfactorily explained Mir Meyer and MT. Smith clasped hands and the in- cident was closed in goodly fellowship. A difference existing between Editor J. H. Nunnelee of The Selma Times and MT Smith was also settled amicably and the Pharmacy was aptly called The Hague Tribunal.
 The remarks which Mir. Smith took ex- ception were were made by Mir. Meyer in the course of a speech in regard to the placing of a fire plug. MT, Meyer spoke or some houses as shanties, and MT. Smith said he lived in one of them This started dispute which nearly led to blows. Mir. Nunnelee's' share in the dis putation was resultant from an editorial published in The Times.

 The rapid development of agriculture since the close of the Civil War is also shown in the steadily increasing number of horses mules and asses, their number having doubled since 1870. In the last decade the number of horses increased 2s9 per cent. and the number of mules and asses 43.S per rcent.-Agrieultural Bull letin for Alabama. census 1900.

The total farming population varies from decade to decade approximately with the number of males engaged in agriculture. The figures given above show that, compared with the total farm ing population, farm owners were 13.5 per cent. more numerous and tenants 2l.6 per cent. more numerous in 1890 than in 1880, while laborers were 20 per cent. less numerous. The relative changes thus shown in these classes resulted in raising the average social and economic level of the farming population. Whether caused by the rise of wage labor to farm own ership, or tenancy, as appears probable from the figures reviewed, or by addi. tons to the classes of owners or tenants from other ocupations. this elevation is a benehcent change in all it's aspects.
 The occupation tables for 1900 are not yet completed, but if the changes in rural population are reliable indices of the changes in the farming population prop er, the movement noted for the decaue from 1880 to 1890 continued with but slight modification in the last decade. and the average condition of people toiling on Alabama farms has been raised even more in the last 10 years than is shown by the foregoing comparisons for the pre- ceding decade.-Agricultural Bulletin for Alabama, census 1900 There is no cor responding commentary as to Georgia.
