 The other mans cows were standing in dry lot, hungry and poor; almost too poor to walk or to get up when down. This, he said. was an object lesson Of what could be done and what was not be- ing practiced The speaker went on to say that the foundation of wealth for any country was to get the country set to grass and to keep good stock to eat this grass, and In this way only could our poor lands be built up and the country made prosperous
 The speaker also spoke of the value of the Angora goat as a browser and for cleaning up our hill brush lands, and said that there was nothing that would im- prove land faster and prepare it for grasses than would the presence of goats He also spoke of the money that could be made growing early lambs. At this point some farmer said we could do well here growing sheep and goats but for the depredations of worthless dogs. which kill all our lambs, both goats and sheep.
 Here the speaker said was work for our lawmakers. He said it was disgrace to the state to have such a profitable indus try. prohibited by lot of worthless cars.

Losinu Ground.

From the Montgomery Journal
 From all available information Mr. Conner is daily losing ground. A great many of the good people of Alabama were misled by the deceptive circulars which were industriously distributed by the Brmin gham wholesale merchants. who are behind his candidacy. However the people of Alabama are to be congratu- lated that MT. Comers Campaign Com mittee" began It's work so early. If this misleading literature had not been dis tributed at such an early date, 1t might have been impossible for the conservative element to have pointed out the fallacies therein contained. However, every intel ligent reader in the state. who has taken the pains to examine the public press, has had 1t demonstrated to him that the aggregate freight paid in Alabama on almost any commodity is less than the aggregate freight paid on the same com modity by the people of the state of Georgia, or any of the other states which MT. Conner would have Alabama take as models.
 The people of this state are some times led astray and tempted to be swayed by passion and prejudice, but MT. Conner and the wholesale merchants behind him, have overdone the thing. In fact, they have overdone it several times. Not be- ing satisfied with sending out one set of circulars to every voter in the state, tthe postage on which, at one cent each. amounts to over s1800 to say nothing of the cost of envelopes, printing and cleri- cal work). they have flooded the state three different times.
 It will be readily seen, therefore, that MT Conner has already spent for postage and the distribution of literature alone. a much greater sum than the aggregate salary of the office which he seeks. This gratuitous spending of money, from the reputation MT. Conner bears. Is new role for him to play.
 From current reports, he is a man who

Meeting at Jasper.

Jasper. March 29-(Speclal )-Mr. Fulton s. White, land and industrial agent of the Frisco system. delivered q very in- teresting address to farmers at the court house yesterday afternoon. MT. White was accompanied by Prof. J. S. Moore of the Agricultural and Mechanical college of Mississippi, who followed Mir. Whites address with a short talk on stockraislng and kindred industries.
 MT. Whites address contained very wholesome advice to farmers and while there was not a very large crowd pres ent to hear the address, those who at tended were fully repaid for the trouble of coming to Jasper. MT. White said that his appearance here was only the. intro duction of what might follow, and he urged his hearers to arouse enthusiasm among the farmers along this line He said that the Frisco railroad sent him out in it's interest and at the same time for the benefit of the farmers along its lines. In this way the railroad and the farmers receive benefits alike. He said that the Frisco railroad was willing to help the farmers along it's lines and that it was sending him out among them, paying his expenses, that he might give those who are interested the benefit of his long experience. and this system wants the farmers along It's lines to have the best homes and farms in the coun- try.
 Mir White urged that the farmers of Walker county go to work to organize a farmers association, and pointed out the great benefits the members of such an organization would receive. He stated that farmers must have confidence in their own country and he pointed out the importance of estimating the county in which one lives as the best county in the state.

Railroad Commission Contest.

From the Bessemer Workman.
 With the withdrawal of Hon. Robert J. Lowe from the race for the presidency of the railroad commission, 1t seems to us that the contest has narrowed down be- tween MT. Smith and MT. Conner. It is nevertheless stated that the Hon. Mr. Kolb is also In the race but so far few people have considered him even factor. The issue is sharply drawn between two men, MT. Smith and Mir Conner. MT Smith the present incumbent stands upon his record and proposes to be fair and just between the people and the railroads as to an equitable adjustment of rates. He believes that the railroads are entitled just compensation for work performed and knows that the great transportation com panies of thls state are a necessary ad- junct to the progress and advancement of the people MT. Smith believes that a railroad company must make legitimate profit or 1t cannot pay good wages nor render good services. There Is good. sound common sense in his platform and we be- leve the people will see and appreciate 1t. Mr. Conner, so far as we have heard, loses his claims for the position upoE the grounds that he proposes to fight the railroads and if possible reduce rates re- gardless of whether such reduction is fair or equitable. He is an advocate presum- ably of low wages and low rates and the fact that in the operation of his cotton mill he was willing to work little children for long hours at a beggarly compensa- ton gives an insight into Mir. Comer's
 
 their business. His idea seems to be an indiscriminate war against the roads. and looking at MT. Comer's own record he. appears to Us to have reached the very acme of demagogy.

SUB-sTATIoNs AUTHORIZED. Two Are to Be Established at Annistor
 April IS.

Anniston, March 29.-(Special )-Post- master Ragan received an order today from the .postoffice department for the
 establishment of two sub-stations, No. 1 at Fifteenth and Pine streets, and No. ? at Noble and streets. These stations will furnish all the conveniences of the main postoffice, except distribution of mails.
 The sale of postoffice supplies, money orders and registry business will be a great convenience for the residents of West Anniston and ward Five. This places Anniston next to Birmingham, or second among all the cities of Alabama, in the way of facilities and conveniences. The securing of this service is quite a victory for Postmaster Ragan and Con- gressman Bowie, who have both been at work for months in the erort. Business will begin at these stations on April 1.
