REPORTS ON HOSPITAL

Montgomery November 15-(Special J. It is quite certain that the reappoint- ment of Warren S. Reese, Jr.. to the position of district attorney Of the Unit ed States court for the middle district of Alabama is going to be received with satisfaction by the people of the section and especially of the city of his long residence. His term expires January 13, 1906, and he was first named by Mckinley in 1897, being confirmed April IA of that year. For the current term he was con firmed in January 1902
 Mir Reese has been raised in Montgom- cry. His father, Col. w. s. Reese, was twice mayor of the city, a colonel in the Confederate army and at one time in command of Wheelers escort. His great uncle, Franklin Elmore of South Caro- lima, succeeded John C. Calhoun in the United States Senate. MT. Reese was a member of the reception committee to the President on his visit here a few weeks ago and has always been in line with the good feeling and respect of the citizens of his home town.
 The especial thing that has attracted attention to the work of MT. Reese in his office has been his activity in the elm- ination of the offense of peonage, which has given the officers of the court here much trouble Under the auspices of the office of district attorney, the fight was made and won So far as Is known MT. Reese has not been actively opposed by any faction of his own party, which is now somewhat divided.

Your issue of Aug
ust 3Oth, shows the proceedings Of
The Farmers Educationa! Union No.
%; included in which, information
is published to your readers, as from
reliable sources tnat, J. M. Harden
was Government Agent, regularly
employed to report to the Agricultur-
al Department, the acreage and condi-
ton of the crop; that be had reported
to the Department of Agriculture at
Washington. D. C.. the average condi-
ton, July 25th, as being SO per cent;
of the opinion of the 40 members OF
theEducational Union was, that the
opinion Of the 49 members of the
Educational Union was, that the con-
dition was only 6S: l2 percent and,
therefore, the said J. NJ. Harden was
talking through bis hat, so to say.
1t would be edifyiDg to know who
furnished this reliable informtion to
the Farmers Educational Union.
1t would have been very simple to
have the said reliable information con-
tirmed, as / can be found at my place
of business daily. Isuggest that, as
he Farmers Union is for educational
advantage, that their education Will
be deficient unless they are educated
with facts.
Now, I have never made report to
the Government az to the condition
of cotton or any other crop; am not
an employe of the Government, nor
have I ever been, in any capacity, at
any time of my life; did not make
any report to the Government as TO
the condition of the crop, July 18th,
nor did i report the condition at s9
per cent, to the Government, to any
individual or firm. e"
That is about as strong as l can
make my denial of al the so called
reliable information, furnished to the
aforementioned Farmers Union ana
by them, published to your readers.
I demand that the same publicity
be given to this communication as
was accorded the Farmers Education
al Unions proceedings.
Respectfully.
J. NJ. Harden.

Report Of Fitzgerald Delegates
to the State Convention.
MRS JASON SMITH.

On Wednesday night an enter
tainment was given by she Loyal
Temperance Legion. AS usual,
the children called out large
and enthusiastic crowd. Great
emphasis was given to the need
of educating the children along
temperance lines. Formation is
better than reformation.
The law of Scientific Temp, r.
ance instruction is not being car
ried out.
Thursday morning-The de-
votional hour was one of deep
spirituality and very helpful.
REPORTS OF SUPERINTENDENT
CONTINUED.
The report of the state super
intendent of prison work was
very encouraging, showing much
good work done. She recon-
mended giving literature to all
prisoners. In this way much
good seed may be sown, and
surely some will spring up and
grow.
Thursday p. ma memorial
service was held, which was very
touching-six members hav-
ing gone to that home not far
away. By invitation the cohven-
ton adjourned and in body at
tended the revival services at the
M. E church.
Thursday night-There was
gold medal contest of one young
man and six young ladies. A
splendid way to teach temper
ance principals.
Friday neutrality-suspicious. OF
officers. Mrs. Mary Harris Ar
mour, Pres; Mrs. Patterson,
Vice-Pres; Mrs. Smith, Treas.
The convention closed in a
blaze of honor on Friday even
ing, with an address by Mrs
Burgman, national oragnizer OF
the Woman's Christian Union
and the city was glad we had
been there.
* x
The afternoon our convention
was invited to attend the revival
meeting being held in the M. b..
church, all business houses clos
ed, including the saloons, except
one, and the that large audience
contained scores of stalwart men.
"All round the world
The ribbon white is twined.
All round the world
The glorious light has shined;
All round the world
Our cause has right of way,
Well raise the anthem swell of victory"
Some glad day.
It's coming, its coming,
The morn for which we pray,
Wen take the world for Christs kingdom,
Some glad day"
