SUPPLY OF OYSTERS
BETTER THIS WEEK
FISH HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY
SCARCE-BUTTER, CHICKENS
AND EGGS HAVE ALL ADVANCED
IN PRICE-FEW VEGETABLES.

The supply of oysters this week has
been considerably better than it was last
week, but 1t is not as large as desired.
Local dealers state that the quality now
on the market, however, Is not what 1t
should be at this time Of the year. They
account for this fact by the unfavorable
weather conditions which have been
prevalent There has been almost con-
tinuous rought weather along the coast
and 1t is said that this interferes with
the oyster beds. Besides this there have
been no cold rains or cool weather, which
are required to fatten the bivalves. They
are for this reason understood Despite
the scarcity there Is no advance in the
retail price. Quotations today will be
rs cents per 100.
The supply of fish has been very poor.
There is comparatively little on the mar
ket, and prices today will be advanced
about 20 per cent over those of last week.
Chickens during the past week have
been very scarce and high. Fryers will
sell today for 40 and 80 cents and hens
for 50 and Go cents. Eggs are scarce at
80 cents per dozen. Butter is considerably
higher on Morris avenue, but no change
in retail prices Is noted. The best grade
is quoted at So cents.
No live turkeys have been received.
There is very little activity in the line
of vegetables. Celery is quoted at 10
cents per bunch and lettuce at 10 cents
per head Cranberries will sell today for
10 cents per quart

those of you who are old enough to have
fought the battles of the democracy

Stiles, by assuming such proportions and

Mr. Bell introduced Col. John NJ. cald-
well. and that gentleman said In part:
"Fellow Citzens-The first sentence
which | may utter must be to thank the
chairman of this convention for the kind
illusions which he made to the man
whose name l bear.
81 am a comparative stranger to most
of those present, although | have been
an humble citizen of this great city of
yours for five long years; but L wish to
say that five years ago when / severed
my residence from the county OF my
BIRTH when l cut asunder the ties of
more than forty-five years, ! not only
left the scene of my childhood and not
only bid farewell to the friends of my
manhood, but / left the scenes of many
political contests In which was waged
the issue, Shall the democratic party be
destroyed by Independent movements?' |
brought no fortune with me, only wife
and five children, the fruit of our mar
riage, but l brought another thing which
/ cherish above everything else, save
them, and that was my democracy.
Cheers. | belong to no ring; | am not a
political trickster; ] belong to no faction,
but | am a plain, ordinary, loyal dem
ocrat.
II want to say to you that l had no
preference between the parties who began
the contest for sheriff | was scarcely
acquainted that is to say, | was barely
acquainted with most of those who en-
tered that contest and l want to say to
you tonight that personally have no
interest in Judge Stiles or Colonel Hig
don. The time has passed for that 1T
is a question now as to whether the per-
manent organization of the democratic
party shall be preserved; not whether
the personal ambition of Judge stiles
shall be served, whether Colonel Hig-
don shall be preferred politically to "a
lucrative position.
Same Old Question.
ut is the same old question that has
been waged over the mountains and val
leys of Alabama since 1865. 1t Is a fight
between organized democracy and men
who want the loaves and fishes. ! am
proud that / am democrat. proud be-
cause the democratic party Is the repre-
sentative. composite representative OF the
people and their rights l am proud of
the democratic party. not only because
It's party of the people with the people
and for government by the people, but
because that party has the prestige that
no other party has ever enjoyed. In the
beginning that party was organized; Its
foundations were laid by that great
statesman Thomas jefferson; then came
the federallst party and that party sur
vived but a short time and died: then
came the wing party, which party soon
found a grave without a resurrection;
then came the know nothing party which
was short-lived and met the same fate;
then arose the republican party and today
the reason and the only reason the re-
publican party has survived. Is because
1t has been feeding upon the very vitals
of the government (cheers).
After the war the greenback party
came; there were whole brigades in every

and had been defeated. 1t lived a useless
life and passed away. All during these
