Hearst.

MI. Hearst has annouced that
he will support the nominee of
the st Louis Convention, no mat.
ter who he may be. This is an
evidence of loyalty to his party
that we are glad to discover. Mr..
Hearst's practices and methods in
trying to secure the nomination
for himself, have been a little out
Of aplomb. Bryan is understood
as endorsing Hearst and as Bryan
is far out of line, in the matters
of both platform and nominee, it
was a reasonable superstition that
Hearst would fly the track If Bry-
ans views are not followed by the
convention. Mr.. Hearst has set
this at rest by his declaration that
he will support the nominee-so
far as he is concerned. He can
not speak for Bryan. 1t is doubt
full if there is any man living who
can. His position is entirely at
variance with What could fea-
sonably be expected of him and as
he seems to be disposed to snap at
things generally there is little
probability of his falling into line,
as his protege seems willing to do.
Mr.. Bryan's course is a great sur,
prise to his friends and followers
in his two campaigns. 1t is in,
explicable. La losing Hearst's NOR
al support he has lost his strongest
ally and is left in the unpleasant
situation of being entirely alone.
We commend Mr.. Hearst for his
course and are glad to find thai
there is something about him thai
we can commend.

cess of rapid disintegration and
= very large majority of his fol-
lowers went into the democratic
ranks where they have remained
in good faith and loyalty. Gen.
Weaver voted twice for Mr.. Bry-
an for president and has been an
open aud avowed supporter OF the
policies and principles of Mr.. Bry-
an ever since his party fell to pie
ces. In the south nearly every pop
ulite came into our ranks and have
made good, loyal democrats. TO
now exclude Gen. Weaver from
any democratic convention to
which he is an accredited delegate
would be a slap in the face to ev-
cry one of these former populltes.
There shouldbe no question rails
ed as to his right to participate IN
the convention. This is no time fol
drawing our party lines too taut.
We need votes and we are in favor
of pulling into u ranks every
voter who will renounce republi'
canlsm and join us. Let them come
up, run up, fly up; any way to get
up into the democratic camp. We
need them to beat Roosevelt and
must not be too high heeled and
thin skinned about where they
| come from.

Doubtful.

The oyster commission seems TO
be in IA far way TO get out of Its
mudle. It met d few days since,
at Biloxi, and, aided by some
Gamers, devised a plan Of borrow
ING twelve thousand dollars, at
seven per cent, per annum interest,
for two years The members of
the commission are to make notes
for the money which are to be en-
dorsed by the governor. The lend
ers Of the money are to look to
the next legislature to make an
appropriation to pay off the notes.
OF cousse the lenders of the money
understand that this is an I'M
usual way to do things and that
their recourse rests altogether
upon the legislature to pay back
the money which they advance.
This is an irregular mode of OBJ
tanning money for the state aud
the policy Of doing this is very
questionable.
That there is somebody in the
case, somewhere, who is hungry
is certain. Tue Legislature failed
to provide the way in which the
money wanted by the commission
could be paid. The matter has
been mp for sometime and could
we'll wait a while longer. Neither
side could be prejudiced by wait
ing two years when the necessary
legislation can be passed
The history of the late admins
tration is full Of examples which
show that it is an unsafe way to do
business for any body to exceed
his legal authority and bind the
state to legislate, at a future time,
to uphold his ventures We do not
mean by this to complain OF any
body at all, but we are satisfied
that the people do not want oysters
SO badly that they will approve of
extraordinary schemes to get
money to pay Commissioners and
Attorneys.
In this transaction of course
the state can not possibly suffer.
The rate of interest is high, but
the sum of it would not be large.
The Commissioners are only
bound as such and the governors
endorsement only binds him to
nse his influence with the legisla-
ture to have the proper action taken
by them. But. we think the mat
ter rnuld well have been postpon-
ed. The oysters will keep and
the supply will not diminish du-
ring Tie next two years.

and what it will do for you if you will follow out these directions to the letter.
 over near Tupelo, Miss, one grower the past season shipped hts early Junes to Detroit, Mich, and these netted him $323 per barrel. These were shipped, too, by express. Suppose this grower and his neighbors had joined in together and grown car lots and shipped by freight, the net profits would have been at least one-third more.
 Another Example.
 Another grower cleared s300 per acre from trees ten years old. That is, the trees have been set eight years next No- vember, and were two years old when set. But 1t takes education to produce such results as this. and the old cotton farm education will not produce fruit at profit.
 I showed in my article on peach grow Ing how educated fruit growers made the land pay rents and expenses by Vegeta- bles being grown between the trees while they were too young to bear friut. This same thing can be done just as well In the young apple orchards.
 But while the early June Is so Tar the most profitable early apple to grow Tor shipment, yet 1t Is not the only one that ehDul1 be grown. OlHfta s7pi Aos lp htNP uP requ1ar supply, should be grown. The Red June may be followed by the Red Astrjehan. and this by the Wealthy and these three will furnish fine apples the entire summer through, and these should he followed by at least two good fall varieties. which will hold until the winter sorts come in. In this way fine apples may find their way from Alabama orch ards from the beginning until the close of the season.
 l have fully tested the keeping qualities of the Alabama apple and find 1t unsur- passed by any others. I carried speci- mems for weeks and they kept In perfect condition.
 Now let me say to our Alabama readers that I cannot take time nor have space here to tell you of half the great advan- tages which you have, not only in appl, growing, but in the growing of a very large line of fruits.
 I am more than anxious and willing t'

RESOLUTIONS BY
 REPUBLICAN CLUB
MORE RURAL ROUTES AND BET. TER PosToFFlcE SERVICE IS WANTED AT ENSLEY-PER. soNAL AND GENERAL.

Ensley, October 13.-(Special)-At A meeting of the Beat 45 republican club tonight resolutions were passed to ob- tain better service at the postoffice and to have two additional rural free deliv- cry routes established, running out from the Ensley office. Owing to the absence of several members of the campaign committee, no action was taken relative to endorsing an aldermanic ticket in the coming primary, the matter being post poned until the next meeting.
 As several complaints have been regis tered with the republican club regarding the closing of the postoffice a commit- tee was appointed tonight to make an effort to have the closing hour cSSaneed from 6 o'clock to ', as it formerly was.
 A committee was also appointed to take steps to have two additional rural free delivery routes established from this of- flee. It is argued that Ensley is enti- tied to new routes and that the establish ment of the routes will materially add to the revenue of the office.
 The most interesting subject, however. billed to come before the club did not materialize. The report of the campaign committee appointed to confer with the committee from the Good Government club and agree upon an aldermanic ticket to be endorsed by the two clubs, did not come up tonight but was deferred until next week.
 It was forecasted that the report of the committee would bring out a lively dis cussion, as the Good Government club had only endorsed the aldermanic ticket agreed upon by the committee in part, the report pertaining to the Third ward being turned down and two other candi- dates being substituted.

SUIT AGAINST WooDMEN.
Order Refused to Pay Insurance When
 Death Was Result of Suicide.

Huntsville. October 13.-(Special)- )-Mrs. H. T. Hornbuekle, widow of a well known insurance agent, has entered suit in the circuit court for $1100 against Maple Leaf camp, Woodmen of the World, seeking to collect the amount of insurance on the life of her husband and the sum of $100 which the organization pledges itself to expend in the erection of monuments on the graves of deceased members. Horn buckle committed suicide in Anniston a few months ago after attempting to kill his paramour, and because of that action the Woodmen refused to bury Hornbuckle with the rites of the order. The suit just filed will be a test case, as the order of Woodmen is said to have a rule against the payment of insurance to suicides

 Other Information.
 In addition to all my former travels over a vast region of our country and my long experience, I want to say to our readers that have travelled in the month of September over 5000 miles, in twenty states and territories. in all of which I have made a careful study of agricultural and Horticultural conditions. and 1 think
 I am in position to give you much valu- able information on a great line of crops I promised something more on alfalfa and I have seen so much of alfalfa on this trip that can give some very interesting statements of what a revolution this won derful plant has brought about fin our great semi-arid regions of the west. and how it is changing the old system of farming.
 Then there Is the question of transpor- tation of friuts. Of this I have stored vast amount of information on proper distribution of all farm products, the packing and preparing of these for mar ket and the question of competition. ln- formation on these subjects and many more will be given from time to time In these papers. The alfalfa information will come next, and want to state if you have not begun to prepare your iand TOT fruit trees. clovers and grasses, lose no more time in doing so.
