Drnxmen On strike.

Proprietors of wholesale and retail houses this morning were confronted with a strike of their draymen. This strike was anticipated some time ago, but the employers, evidently hopeful of a passing of the storm, gave no heed. A white man from New Orleans came to Mobile, however. and sue ceded in organizing what is termed an Association No. 919," ana this morn ing a number of the negro draymen failed to show up for duty Among the many whose draymen failed to re- port were, as learned this morning: City Drayage Company. seven out of eight; Michael and Lyons Grocery Com pany, all; Zimmern Grain and Coal Company, four; Dumas Commission Company, all; Henry Piser, all. It is understood that at least one-half of the negro draymen went out and oth- CTS will be worked on tonight, with the result that almost every dray i'll the city will be out of business to- 
 The draymen, through their presi- dent, Edmund Turner, d shrewd negro. demanded a nine hour day at $1.75, and cents per hour for all over time. Some of the business men yes- terday evening discharged the negroes in their employ who belonged to the union and this hastened the action of the organization.
 Mayor Lyons was early in the busi- ness district with the chief of police and officers and, wherever groups of negroes were found, they were given orders to move on. Or ders were given the policemen to ar rest any and all disturbers or leaders who could not give good accounting of themselves, but very few arrests were made.
 It was conservatively estimated after B canvass of the wholesale district that not moro than thirty drivers were out The place of a majority of these were very promptly filled. Tt is expected, however, that tomorrow, there will be more difficulties experienced by the merchants

 Commit se divorced the Congressional primaries from the general State pri- mary, leaving the whole Jurisdiction with reference to Congressional prima- ries, in the several districts of the State, exclusively to the management supervision and control of several Con- gressional Executive Committees, re- spectivey.
 Already general Congressional pri- maries have been ordered by different Congressional Committees in five out of the nine districts in Alabama, to wit, Second District, March 18th; Third Dis trict, April 21st; Fifth District, April 21st; Sixth District. April 23rd, and in the Eighth District for April 26th. There is scarcely a doubt that Con- gressional primaries will be ordered in the remaining four districts at an early date in the future. This plan is in conformity to the suggestion of the National Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee-their expressed purpose being to organize speedily for an early and aggressive fight, during the present year, in order to capture, if possible, the next House of Represent atives, and thereby to present solid front to the enemy in the Presidential campaign two years hence. The Re- publicans are likewise holding early primaries and conventions to make Con- gressional nominations.
 Facts fin the Case.
 Now as to the facts. Crenshaw County held her primary election for county officials on the 2Sth day of Jam uary last. The Montgomery County primary election for the nomination of county officials has already been or- dered to be held on March 18th. This was the status of affairs when the Con- gressional Executive Committee of the Second District, in due and proper form, wac called together in Montgomery on the 18th day of February last. Due notice of this meeting was given to Hall. He failed to appear at the morn Ing session, and the meeting was ad- journed over until 3 o'clock in the af- ternoon of that day for his own conve- nience and accommodation, in order that he might have an opportunity to appear before the Committees; and he did so appear and was heard.
 The Committee after mature delib- eration. ordered a general Congression- al primary to be held in said district

primary and if the State Committee ailowed the Second District Committee 10 he Overturned 1t would result in casting doubt upon the action of the Fifth District election. He felt sure that the same condition existed throughout the State.
 MT. Long Has a Candidate.
 MT. Moore, of Jefferson, questioned MT. Long. He asked what hardships would be worked on the Democrats of the Second District if the action of the District Committee stood,
 MT. Long said that 1t placed the Democrats of the District in the posi- tion of being compelled to vote for Col onel Wiley He declared he was not a partisan of Mir. .Hail and admitted that if the District Committee was overturned there would be candidate whose name has not been mentioned. He declared that the action of the Dis trict Committee had engendered feel ing in the District of wrong and that there would be candidate.
 At the admission of Mir. Long that the petitioners had a candidate at their backs. a broad smile rippled through out the chamber.
 The question recurring to the mo- ton of Mir Thach to dismiss the pe- tition, 1t was adopted by viva voce vote at 5:35 o'clock There were 9 few dissenting votes but q yea and nay vote was not demanded.
 Proxy Resolution Tabled.
 Mir Eyster of Morgan endeavored to pass a resolution making valid all proxies in Democratic committees, but 1t was defeated. ~n
 The resolution was as follows: Resolved. That 1t shall be discre- tionary with all subordinate commit tees of the Democratic Party to here after recognize proxies" Messrs. Mulnns, of Chiffon. McCord of Marshall and Whitson of Talladega opposed the resolution and on motion of Hr. McCord il was tabled by viva voce vote.

Neptune Fireman,s nanauet.


 In Mobile eighty-eight years ago was organized a company of citizens. almost all of them foreign born, but Mobilians by adoption, the purpose be- ing to protect the homes and lives of their fellow citizens. They took the name of Neptune Eugine Company No. 2. and immediately became a part of the volunteer fire department Year in and year out the organization pros- pered, and the members always re- sponded to the call when the alarm for fire was given.
 Eighteen years ago the volunteer fire department was done away with and a paid department organized. Nep- tune No 2, however, retained it's tden- tity as an organization and regularly, when the 18th of March came round. the handful of faithfuls would meet and celebrate the birthday of the old guard, the original members of which have long since gone to their reward.
 Saturday morning last the usual in- Vitations were issued by the arrange mentH committee. First on the list ap- beard the name of George Matzenger. During the early hours of the same morning, Mir. Matzenger expired. Only short time ago Ali W. Torrans, an- other faithful member or that organ ization, died, and Mir. Matzenger, with his frother fireman, attended the ob- sequies. Of the members on the ros- ter when No. 2 was mustered out of active service only a few remain. This few, with invited frienos, tonight met in the hall of the Young Mems Benev- ! olent Association for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year and having their usual banqeut. Officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows: w. F. Bullock, presi- l dent; J H. Rodiger, foreman; John P. Kreiter. first assistant; Angelo | Arata, second assistant; F. T. Kupper- 1 smith, secretary; Charles Shaffer treasurer; W. G. Davis, steward; A. | Kuppersmith, w. J. Foley. w. E. Bullock, A. Arata, WI. G. Davis, board of control. The supper was a most en- | Joyable one.

In having for their governor one who
has been foremost in upholding the
hands OF the President In fighting the
battles OF the people, and especially
commend his efforts in bringing the
assessments of railways up TO a fair
basis and his services in presenting
the case OF the consumer and the
shipper before our National Legis-
lature upon the consideration of the
rate bill, and we hereby instruct our
delegates TO the state convention to
cast the entire vote of this county for
Hon. A. b. Cummins first, last and
all the time.
We point with pride to the dis
tinguished services upon the bench of
our fellow townsman, Hon. w. X.
Green and we hereby empower the
said w. II. Green to select the dele
gates to the judicial convention OF
this judicial district.
We reattirm our adherence to the
principles and policy of protection as
advocated by Blaine, Mckinley and
Roosevelt.
We are unalterahly opposed to
trusts and combinations which prevent
square deal and equal opportunities
to all, and believe our state should
strictly restrain this menace to our
freedom and prosperity.
We condemn the attempts OF rail
ways and other corporations to domi-
nate our politics, and favor the enact
ment of law prohibiting under pen
atty, corporations for profit, from
making contributions In any form to
any political party, or to any can
didate for Office.
We favor the adoption of more
stringent anti-pass law, and a law
regulating lobbying before our state
legislature.
The recent disorder at some Re-
publican Conventions coupled with
charges of irregular voting and fol-
lowed by contesting delegations, have
emphasized the necessity of uniform
statewide primary law In the interests
OF harmony and clean politics, and
we hereby request our representative
in the legislature to use all honor,
able means to further the passage o.
such law.

ed it with good grace and declared
that so far as they were concerned the
fight was over and that Cummins
should have the delegation. Among
others who did this was Chairman
BRENNAN who repeatedly declared
he was not in favor of any contest.
But the Cummins men became SUSPECT
Gus of some parties on the other side
and feared they would be entrapped
and beaten in the convention. So
they make the claim that they either
had to take the convention in their
own hands at the beginning or be
compelled to bolt at the end of it, and
they preferred to do the former. But
the facts do not bear them out in their
conclusion. The trouble was that
they were. badly scared without any
sufficient reason so far as we have
knowledge of the facts. 1t Is evident
that some parties on both sides we're
at fault. The rank and file among
the Cummins men came in ready to en-
Joy the victory they had won in the
county. The rank and file Of the
Perkins men came in to submit grace
fully to the results and see the other
side do the business and take the
honors and spoils of the convention.
That any division should have hap
pened, is much to be regretted, and
any effort to widen the breach should
be heartily condemned by both sides,
