 By Conner.
THOUSANDS OF LETTERS

Montgomery, March tSpecial.)-The eoffers of Uncle Sam are being very rapidly filled from the bank accounts of Alabamians who are candidates for demo- cratic nominations in the April prima- ries. The immense abount of advertise ing matter being sent out through the mails Is unprecedented.
 Candidates for both state and county offices are reaching almost every regis tered voter within the divisions to which they must look for support Some of the state candidates have announced their nurpose of sending out at least 100000 let ters This means that such candidates must pay out for postage 5000 If the let ters are in circular form, and if sent as hrst-class matter it would cost just double that amount
 37,oo Letters a Week.
 One candidate who has headquarters here is said to have sent out SI000 let ters last week, and is now keeping it up at rate of something like 5000 per day. Fifty dollars a day for stamps is not bad.
 One of the busiest places of the several headquarters is that of President John V. Smith of the railroad commission. He is sending out fhe rate sheet prepared by the commission in wagon-load lots. Mir. Smith has been at his headquarters for rhe past two or three days, and he ex- presses himself as pleased with the pro- gress of his campaign. Discussing his re cent debates with Mir. Conner, Mir. Smith said:
 Smith Makes Statement.
 T note that much comment has been made upon the joint discussions between myself and MT. Conner. I feel that one great good at least has been accomplished Ii has put the conservative people of Alabama to thinking and considering this question for themselves. It is hopeful sign when thinking men like Mir. Vandiver feel called upon to express themselves as freely as he has upon the question.

Mobile, March 1.-(special) )-The tables were turned this afternoon by the Old Do- minion Telegraph company against the mayor and general council. The chief of police, through warrants issued by Re- corder McAleer sanctioned by City At torney Boone, has three times arrested the manager and employees of the com pany, charging violation of Section 4S10 of the state code.

 And upon the bill being presented to Judge A. A. Coleman judge of the Tenth Judicial circuit of Alabama. this circuit being in the Birmingham district. he or dered that the injunction be issued as prayed for and that the complainant en- ter into bond in the sum of $500. This bond was made and was signed by T. G. Hewlett, and F. A. Schimpf and upon the approval thereof by the register, the in- junction was issued in accordance with the orders of Judge Coleman returnable to the next term of the chancery court at Mobile.
 The chancery court does not meet for several weeks, though the employees of the Old Dominion Telegraph company are to have a hearing before the recorder on Thursday. About o'clock this after noon City Attorney Boone filed several demurrers to the bill of injunction. The case will be hoty contested.

 A
Bears Win Out After Stubborn
 Contest at Close
OUTSIDERS ARE CAUTIOUS
Cotton Market Yesterday Was of h. terest to Professionals and the
 Fight Waged Was Be-
 tween Them Alone.

New Orleans, March 1.-After a hard struggle in the ring at the Cotton ex- change today. the bears managed to wrest the control of the market from the bulls. Late in the day, after a stubborn contest. they were able to send prices down with little opposition, and the closing showed a net loss for the day of 15 and 16 points on May and July, and a decline of P points from the highest levels of the day.
 The market was of interest to the pro- fessionals alone, and the fight for the mastery of prices was waged between professional interests solely. The outside public did not seem to care snap Of the finger whether cotton went up or down. If the truth must be told the public has received a rather severe shak- ing up in cotton, wheat and stocks, and like the traditional child whose fingers have been burned, dreads the fire.
 Bulls Become Encouraged.
 The market opened steady, to IS points down. the lower opening--being caused by disappointing Liverpool cables. A few scattering orders GOT large lots managed to sustain prices until the middle of the morning. when the bulls became more en- couraged by the general strength of the situation, and boosted prices until they were about 20 points above the opening figures. No buying orders came from the outside and the country appeared to be too busy preparing to plant the new crop to nay any attention to what was left of the old crop.
 Seeing an opportunity to hamper prices on the lack of support. the bears by con certed action sent prices down even lower than the opening figures The strength of the staple asserted itself and a moderate amount of buying by profess sional longs. together with the proht- taking of scalping shorts, sent prices up again to the highest levels of the day This continued until well on toward the close when the market appeared to be under bear control. and if the closing had not come when it did, even lower prices would probably have been seen
 Betrayed No Uneasiness.
 The longs betrayed no uneasiness but said that the temporary setback to prices would prove beneficial in the end, They offered this as the reason why the mar lket was not supported more by profes- sionals toward the close.
 Conservative longs bought quietly but l heavily during the day and the leading bulls predicted strong advances before | the week is over. It Is generally recog- nized that a heavy short interest exists which the bulls count on putting to cover and at the same time working as fac tor in sending prices to higher levels.
