The Democratic Candidate.

The state democratic campaign con- mittee, which mel at Montgomery yes terday, considered among other things the matter of the shrievalty contest in Jefferson county and decided with practical unanimity that Judge J. P. Stiles was the only candidate of the party for the office of sheriff and that no voter loyal to the party could cast his ballot for any other candidate for sheriff in this county. No other con clusion could have been reached. The county democratic executive commit. tee declared Judge Stiles the nominee
 Every man who voted in the primary is morally bound to support the party candidate. The party organization in this county will have the earnest back ing of the state organization, and if the democracy is true to itself Judge Stiles will be elected in November along with the rest of the democratic ticket. This is no time for bolters in Jefferson county.

products. The total value of the seed is indeed great, for in the last fiscal year our exports of cotton seed prod ucts were as follows: Oil, $13.679. 400; oil cake, $13,073,4 400; cottolene, $4,154,- 200; cotton seed, $26S, ,S00-total, s31.- 169, 300. This great trade has been built lip since 1870, when the exports of cotton seed products were in value but s14,946
 The Netherlands take from us q great deal of cotton seed oil, and France and Italy are free buyers. The two last-named countries buy cotton seed oil to mingle with olive oil, the combination being sold as pure olive oil. To tell the truth, the one part of the mixture is as good as the other. It is, in fact, difficult to detect the mixture. As a rule the peasants of Italy put together one part of cotton seed oil and two parts of olive oil. The oil that goes to the Netherlands is largely used in the manufacture of butter and margarine. In Mohamme. dan countries the use of cottolene is steadily increasing. Pork lard is for bidden in those countries.
 It will thus be seen that the seed of our great crop is valuable, and that the world wants more and more of it's products. Some one once said that the cotton crop could be made profit able for the sake of it's seed alone, and this would become possible in the future if we ourselves would use cot tolene instead of lard from hogs that are subject to cholera and a dozen other diseases.

Cotton Seed Products.

While there is a great deal of con tention over the damage done by ex- cessive rainfalls to the lint of the cur rent crop, yet there is none concern. ing its effects upon the seed, whether at the gin or in the field. A vast quan- tity of seed was stored at the ginner. les when the heaviest rainfalls came, and nearly all of it is in a damaged condition. The seed, too, in the fields the seed of the unpicked cotton-is also injured. At this time it is diff cult to ascertain the extent of the dam. age. It is, however, considerable, and a month of dry weather is sorely needed in the cotton fields.
 The lint from the bolls is so valuable and so dazzling in it's value that many of us lose sight of the cotton seed

Divinity of he'll
Death of a Great EvanueIist.

The death of the Rev. Sam P. Jones from heart failure came as a shock to a wide circle who had long regarded him as the foremost evangelist in the country. He had attained to the age of but fifty-nine years, and he was up to his sudden fatal illness apparently in full strength of mind and body. He had just wound up successful revival at Oklahoma City, and was returning to his Georgia home when Death, that great proprietor of all, overlook him.
 The dead evangelist was man of keenest intellectual power. He could summon equally well tears as we'll as laughter. His command of picturesque English made him famous, but behind his famous phrases were arrayed vivid agination and lively and kindly sense of humor. He was one of the rare intellectual forces of the world, and it will perhaps be many I day before his equal rises up to take his place.
 He had long had home at Carters- vile, Ga, a small town about fifty miles north of Atlanta but he was not tied to any place in his work, for his services as an evangelist and as a lee. turer were called for in all the states and even in other countries. In all English-spealling countries he was ever welcome, his fame preceding him. Georgia has lost bright intellect but the loss will be felt in all the states, and in all the southern states his death comes almost as a personal af- fiction, so highly was he held in pub lie esteem. He was born in Chambers county, Alabama, and all Alabamians claim him as a son of the soil.

MEXICO TO CREATE
 MORE EMBASSIES

Mexico City, October 16.-In all proba- bility Mexico in the near future will have more than one ambassador in the diplomatic service. it being, 1t being re- 1iably reported that the legations at Lon don and Paris will soon be raised to the rank of embassies. Vacancies and im- pending changes in the cabinet and dip- lomatie corps have been subjects of dis cussion for some time past and many names have been suggested as probable appointees.
 At the present time two high govern ment posts are vacant, secretary of the minister of public works and ambassador to the United States. The first has been vacant since the death of Bias Escontria on January 1 last and the second since the acceptance by President Diaz on Oc- tober P of the resignation of Ambassador Casasus. It was authentically reported yesterday that Finance Minister Jose Y. Limantour, who will soon return from an extended trip to Europe. will retire from the cabinet as soon he completes the budget for the financial year of 1907, and that he will be appointed ambassador to France, succeeding s. B. Mier, the pres ent envoy eXlraofulhdiy diiu ihliiiSeei plenipotentiary.
 The change in the names suggested as cabinet appointees are Miguel s. Macedo, now sub secretary of the interior, as min- ister of public works, and Joaquin Cas- asus as minister of finance in case he sufficiently regains his health to permit the assumption of the arduous duties. Ru mor also associates the name of Enrique c. Greet with the embassy at Washing fOO and 4ba finance den9rtment. Rela- tive to the post at London, dependent upon the elevation of the legation to an embassy, 1t has been repeatedly stated that Guillermo De Landa Y. Escandon, governor of the federal district has been slated for the position.

The State air.

The Rev. pr. John W. stagg said yes terday:
 oThat an institution such as the Ala bama State Fair may be made of great benefit in diffusing intelligence as to the products of tho land, the minerals of the earth and machinery from the shop: in a word as to the methods of doing things, from the fine arts to the tilling of the soil, and that it may be made profitable in the distribution of a higher order of intelligence for the making of better citizenship; and that 1t may be made q source of material profit to the city of Birmingham, is witnessed to, first, by the fact that such institutions have been natronlzed by our fathers across the sea, and by our immediate forbears from our earliest days as a nation; second, by the fact. that our business men, in all departments of trade, testify that it en- larges the market of this city and in- creases the trade of nearly every mer- chant doing business here.
 "Fairs have gotten into disrepute with good people largely because of pool sell ling, saloons and gambling devices. The Ministers association of the Birmingham district has repeatedly protested against the Alabama State Fair, on these grounds. This year the management, after hav- ing expended more than SlO0.00O to bet ter the fair. has. positively prohibited pool selling, saloons and gambling devices. This has been done in order 10 meet the wishes of the best people of the state, to see If they are in earnest about wishing a fair to be run clean and wholesome. It seems to me from what I can learn, that the better element of the state can now safely patronize the fair, and it seems but due those who have attempted to run a clean fair that they should have a liberal patronage on the part of the people, particularly of the city of Bir- mingham. and also of the state at large"

WILL NOT INTERFERE.
President Will Take No Part In VarI-
 ous State Contests.

San Francisco. October 16.-In reply to a letter written to President Roosevelt by R. c. Dale of Kern county, former as- semblyman, asking if the President in tended to declare his interest or prefer ence in the state gubernatorial campaign, the following letter has been received:
 White House, Washington, October s, 1906.
 My Dear Sir: The President has re- ceived your letter of the 1st inst, and directs me to express his regret that it is not possible for him to do as you desire. He has been asked to interfere in the local contests in almost every state in the union, but has declined to do so in each case. The President says he cannot do as you wish, but he is sure you will understand how impossible it would be for him to respond in one case and not in others. Very truly yours,
 RUDOLPH FOSTER,
 "Acting Secretary to the President"

END OF GREAT EVANGELIST

union Two other children died when quite young.
 It was in the fall of 1872 that Sam Jones was converted. A short time after he joined the North Georgia Methodist conference and his wonderful career as a religious worker then began.
 For five years Rev Mr. Jones remained a pastor in the Methodist church His first charge was the Van Vert circuit. He was next stationed at the Second Methodist church of Rome. then went to the Newborn circuit and later was given the church at Monticello.
 About 1880 he became agent for the Methodist Orphans Home at Decatur, and for number of years remained there. While stationed at Decatur he frequently had business which called him to Atlanta and it was then that he met so many of the people of this city. He often preached here and in a short time became very popular clergyman.
 In 1893 he gave up his work at the or phanage and started out as an evangelist. His great record in revival meetings throughout the country is well known. His first big meeting was in Boston. where he won the hearts of the north erners by his great work His largest meeting of recent years was in, Cincin- nati His last meeting in the south was at his home town Gainesville, where a two weeks revival was held in Septem- Der.
 The last big meeting that Sam Jones conducted in Atlanta was several years
 
 held in the Moody tabernacle This meet ing will be remembered by thousands and thousands of Atlantans He has preached here on several different occasions sinca then, but this was the last series of meetings.
