HERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT
 MAKE MONTGOMERIANS HAPPY

average, the total amount received by the planters for the cotton received In Mont somery up to this date last year was ss, ,gz7, 40 At 10 3-4 cents per pound which Is lower, perhaps, than the average price that has been paid this season. the amount receiyei by cotton growers for cotton shipped to this market up to date foots up the princeiy figures of q ie7, ,2ss. The entire amount for cotton received here last year at cents per pound would be S, ,i7s.s00 50 that the value of the portion of the crop for 1e03-4 already received ir Montgomery is a ssss ,4gs greater than the amount received for the whole of last year.
 This, too, is upon the basis of 10 3-t cents for what has been received of thif years crop. and as every bale received from now on will be. in addition to that of last year 1t is safe to place the increase in value to cotton growers of staple res ceived in this city over last year at not less than $4.0oo.000.
 Another tremendous advantage to the farmer for the coming year win be the fact that enough corn has been raised in the State to meet every demand. This means millions kept at home that last year went to Western grain houses.
 The amount of cotton received from December IS, 1902, to September 1, 1sS. was ss.ssg. and if as many bales are re- ceived for the remainder of the cotton year ending on September i. 1904, Mont gomery's receipts for the crop Of is0s-1 will be 1s7.sH. It Is generally believed, however. that the receipts will fall off very perceptibiy after January 1.

 The planters of Montgomery County and the section of country adjacent to Mont gcmery are in better shape financially than they have been for many years.
 Of course this statement means that the merchants ce MontGomery-wholssa and retail in every known branch of com merce--are also more prosperous than they have been for many years. Money Is easy, planters and local business men are happy, Montgomery is literally piungins upward in a way that will do more for the town thansyears of booming.

 Business.

L. E. Colby & Co. of Chicago, manu- lecturers of Colby.s condiments, will in the neaEs future erect plant and estab- fish their headquarters in MontRomery.
 Colbys condiment is a powder for the seasoning of soups. meats and fish. l.. E. Colby. President of the company. says that 1t has achieved universal popular ity throughout the West and Central DOT tions of the country and by establishing his headquarters and factory in Mont gomery he hopes to make it just as pop ular in the South.
 When seen last night Mir. Colby would not say just when the plant would be nut in operation. For several days he has been hunting for suitable location in fully convinced that Montgomery with its railroad and power faci ities IS the best point in the South for him to locate. His machinery Is now on the way to Mont- gomery.
 ''of course" said Mir. Colby, entering as we are into a new field. we will have to start from the ground. We secure all our material for the manufacture of the condiment from old Mexico and are ac- cordingly put to considerable expense on account of tariffs. For a while we will employ only a limited force, but in. the near future we hope to erect large plant in Montgomery.
 "Our first aim will be to appeal to the family trade here, as we already have a great amount of foreign business in the Middle West?

HEFLIN AT HIGHLAND PARK
Secretary of state Addresses E.

Secretary of State Addresses Ep.
 worth League.
 The Epworth League of the Highland Park Methodist Church congregation at a meeting last night at o'clock In the church had an excellent program of exer- cises among which was an address by Hon. J. Thomas Hefiin, Secretary of State. which was much enjoyed by his audience.
 A song. '"The Old stile" was we'll ren- dered by Mrs. J. 1T. Pearson and the or- chestra furnished good music throughout the meeting.
 The church was well filled with mem- bers of the congregation and outsiders. Rev. Frank Seay. pastor of the church, introduced Mir. Hefiin in short speech in which he said that Mir. Hefiln' was too well known to need any introduction but that he knew that he and the rest of the audience would enjoy hearing the address to be delivered to them.
 Mir. Hefiin spoke for about an hour. charming his audience at one moment with his eloauence and convulsing them with laughter by his humor at the next. From the beginning he had his audience with him and never for e moment did he lose their attention.
 As he said in the first of his address, he would not take his text and hold to 1t like the preacher but he would branch out like the exhorter, this definition of the differ ence between preacher and an exhorter was furnished by story of an old negro man.
 MT. Heflin opened his speech by an nouncing as his subject ''The Historian" In beautiful language he described the creation of the world and followed along in the general outline the history of the world and mans advancement up to the present day. He spoke of the wish of man for an ideal home. the discovery of America, the early struggles of the young republic. the growth and advancement of the nation, the war between the North and South and ended in 8 glowing tribute to the land of liberty--the United States of America.
 Mir. Hetlin told a good many of his in- exhaustible supply of jokes with that drollery and mimicry which is his alone and which has made reputation for him as stump speaker and a lecturer.

The Blacks had the Reds going in the first half and it was not till near the close of the second period that the Reds pulled ahead and cinched the game. The fast play made fouls frequent and the Blacks owed a good many of their scores to goals from fouls by the Reds.

THREAT To HOLD
UNIONS IN LINE
That Is How the Addicks vi
timatum Is Regarded in
Dover
MOORE LEADS BOLT IN RANKS
Regulars Do Not Think Reply Of the
Unions. to Their Proposition Final.
"Addicks Puts His Foot in It Again."
Says a Union Man.
Special to the Evening Journal

Dover. Feb. 1.-THE Addicks ulti-
matum is regarded here as a threat TO
keep the Union Republicans in line. For
some time there has been dissatisfac-
tion in the Union ranks, several OF the
Union men wishing to break away from
Addicks, especially when it is seen that
he cannot be elected. The bolt in the
Union Republican ranks is led by I. G..
Moore and others who have asplra-
tions which they fear will be ruined II
they stick to the Gasman.
The Regulars do not think that the
Unions reply is final Said one of the
ten this morning: "They will have
something better to offer" This is
borne out by the statement made by
some of the Union members after they
left the conference this morning One
Union member said that in view OF Adj
dicks statement they could not do any
thing but decline the Regulars offer.
When Union member Of the House
from Wilmington was asked what he
thought of AddiclIs' statement. he said !:
''Addicks has put his foot in it again.

THE PROPOSITION
Are for Two Senators, Each

of Each Faction
STILL PERSIST IN WITHDRAWAL
And Declare That There Is No Reason
Why Two Senators Should Not Be
Elected in a Regular and Lawful
Manner.
Special to the nvonlng Journal.

Special to the Evening Journal.
Dover, Feb. 1.-THE Union Republic
can members Of the General Assembly
today submitted their answer TO the
proposition made to them by the Reg
ular Republicans on Friday. 1t is as
follows:
To the Republican minority of the
General Assembly:
Gentlemen: Your recent proposition
that two senators be chosen. one re-
spectively from each element of the
Republican party OF this State exclud-
ing John Edward Addicks. has been re-
ceiyed by the unersigned, the Republic
can majority OF the General Assembly.
We respectfully desire to call your
attention to the fact that for six years
past, by assurance, by the public press,
in fact by every known means OF publi-
cation you have cOntended that the per-
sonality of John Edward Addicks was
the sole obstacle to a restoration of
party law and majority rule. The de-
mand has been incsssantly made that
he be withdrawn as a candidate. Your
demand has been complied with. The
determination was inspired by the de-
sire TO restore party unity, to bring all
Republicans of this State back to q con-
dition of peace and to re-establish party
law, and those rules for party govern
ment in Delaware that obtained gem
orally throughout the Union in accord
with the spirit OF our national consti-
tuition.
Il may also be admitted that there
was desire to show clearly whether
uhe personal candidacy of Mr.. Addicks
was indeed the cause of political am
archy in this State, or whether it was
in effect a factional fight purely for
supremacy alone and the spoils of Of
flee.
No part of its inspiration was due to
a desire to trade or dicl1er over these
high positions. The time has passed
for such considerations. The situa-
tion is clear. Mr. Addicks has with
drawn ais a candidate before this I.egis-
lature- There is no longer any reason
lwhy the party should not unite and
choose two senators for the Senate of
the United States in a lawful and req
ular manner. We definitely decline anv
other settlement OF this matter. unless
the proposition be accepted to elect two
senator's each to be the unrestricted
choice Of each faction. Yours respec-
