OLD TRUsTY ESCAPES.
After Seventeen Years ImprisOnmen
 Bradford Runs Away

After Seventeen Years Imprisonment
 Bradford Runs Away
 After seventeen years Imprisonment and thirteen years service to the State as a trusty. Oliver Bradford, negro man convicted of murder in Talladega County at the March term of the Circuit Court of 1888. has es- eaped from his berth at convict camp No l. This camp is situated about eight miles out from Montgomery along the wetumpka road. Bradford has been missing since Wednesday morning but the report was not made public until yesterday by the State Convict Department at the Capitol.
 It Is an enigma to the guards at camp, to the clerks of the State De- partment and to the members of the State Convict Board as to whether Bradford has gone to stay. He had been so scrupulously faithful in his thirteen years as trusty that 1t was really believed he was welded to his job The opinion is expressed that Bradford will soon tire of freedom and return to camp. Then. again. the fu- ture imprisonment of thirty-three years may have discouraged the trusty woefully and caused him to escape. He was under a sentence of fifty years. ' Every effort is being made to ap- prehend Bradford. A full description. of course, is in the possession of tho Department and the police and sheriffs in the State have been notified.

 The troop never appeared to better advantage. Each man seemed ready to do or die to+retain the trophy. The Selma outfit was the odds on favorite and the troop was loudly applauded. Drilling with the utmost precision, the troop started on the lengthy program. The drill was becoming very enjoyable, when J. Pluvius interfered. Great black clouds were lowering over the parade ground and they opened suddenly with forensic fury. The judges put spurs to their horses and hiked for shelter. The troop not

To sh0w bis friends which is proDa- bly, the most remarkable cotton neio l in Alabama Mr. Walter Sistrunk en- tertained . large party Thursday on his splendid plantation between Tai-

 be grown. ',
 ,- Mir. M. c. Scott. the well known
 Montgomery farmer. who was g mem
 cally of tlrcsheld.
 He said:
 "A grand entertainment in the way
 of a bounteous and finely prepared barbecue. Of>course the meats, &c., was all that could be desired, being under
 charge of our genial friend. Nose Stuart.
 The inspiration of the occasion was
 cotton field containing about 100 acres. A most beautiful sight! In
 fact something that no one in this State has ever witnessed. A field of
 that dimension producing a bale and
 a quarter or perhaps more to the acre and only & few years ago the same field would not produce more than a third of bale to the acre. This has been done by using cotton seed and phosphates and the expense of so do- ing would be 316 to the acre and the profits at present prices would. over and above what said land would have produced, be equal to $35. It Is well worth a trip for any farmer to go and see that field and see the value of cotton seed as a fertilizer
