platform adopted by the convention
which nominated Mr.. Bryan the first
time.
Three yers after the memorable
contests for Governor, Mr.. Clarke was
elected a delegate at-large from MO-
bile county to the constitutional con
vention, the call for which was WITH
drawn through the influence OF Gov
ernor Johnston, the convention peihs
held subsequently,. year later than at
first proposed In 1900 Mr.. Clarke was
elected Representative from this coun-
ty in the State Legislature and served
with distinction, Through this Legis-
lature the constitutional convention
was obtained which made the present
laws of this State In the state eiec-
ton of last month Mr.. Clarke WAS
candidate for alternate United states
Senator, but did not poll the vote that
his friends expected. He was not IN
good health when he entered on the
campaign, and the discomfort ne
experienced in travelling through the
State, with the tax IN MS energies
which numerous addresses TO voters
made. caused a breakdown which MT.
Clarke sought to overcome by trip
to the West and 1t was on this trip,
while in st. Louis that he was strick-
en- with pneumonia, and In his weak
ened condition was unable to with
stand the attack.
Mr.. Clarke was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Mary K. Burke
of Tuscaloosa, and the widow who sur
wives him was Miss Helen Gaines
| Foote of Mobile. One daughter, kath-
leen. is dead, and surviving daughters
are Mrs. Mabel Foster of Tuscaloosa,
and Misses Helen and Mary Morris
Clarke. Two brothers and two sis.
| tiers survive Mr. Clarke, Clifton and
Norborne r. Clarke of Mobile, Mrs.
w. D. Mason of Philadelphia and
Miss Julia Clarke of Demopolis.
Mr.. Clarke entered largely into the
public life OF Alabama and especially
of Noble, and his name is identified
with the upbuilding of this city In the
| last quarter of a century. While In
| Congress he was active in behalf of
Mobile harbor and through his infiu-
ence substantial appropriations were
made for It's Improvement. The depth
of twenty-three feet in the ship chan
mel through which the commerce of
the port has grown 500 per cent with
in two decades, is reminder, of the
work he accomplished as the repre-
sentative in Congress of this district.

tive Ellerbee of South Carolina intro
duced resolution charging that the

ment OF agriculture, issued Monday,
giving an estimate of 2S,786 900 acres,
exceeds the amount actually planted,
and is not warranted In the returns re-
ceived by the department from it's cor

The resolution directs the depart
ment OF agriculture to furnish the
house tabulated sheets showing the
estimate of acreage by the seven class
es OF correspondents, namely:
The field agents, the state agents,
the country correspondents, the town
ship correspondents, the ginners, the
special correspondents and the indi-
vidual farmers.
Mr.. Ellerbee states that he has di.
rect and positive Information that this
cotton crop has been manipulated t.
the disadvantage of the south and al

agents was in two states upon whic
they passed
