MOBILE NEGRO GIVES
 ADVICE TO THE RACE
Governor Returns From the Gulf City and Receives Letter From
 A. N. Johnson.

Montgomery October 5.-In letter sent by Governor Jelks today to A. N. John- son, leader of negroes in Mobile, who had asked him to attend a mass meeting of negroes in the interest of law and or der, he concluded with this advice to the negroes of Alabama:
 Outlaw the loafer and the thief and be particularly prompt in helping to hunt down the rapist. Ostracise them in your societies and consign them to eternal damnation from your pulpits. This is the best and cheapest way. Should the white people finally lose control of themselves, anarchy is upon us."
 The governor returned to the capital today after a visit to Mobile, where he inspected the storm disaster, and took prominent part in urging respect for law and order during the restlessness fol- lowing the attack on the Mobile jail by a mob, in which a deputy sheriff was killed.

FURTHER REPORTS ADD TO
 LOSSES IN COTTON FIELDS

seems little doubt but that great loss has resulted to the cotton crop of Ala bama, and that prospects which only a few weeks ago were so f1attering have been changed to positive disaster.
 Travellers from everywhere in this sec tior bring the same gloomy news. w. C.. Lawrence, engineer on the Central of Georgia railroad, who for thirty odd years has been running between Birmingham and Columbus, Ga, and is familiar with every cotton patch on the road said last night that he had never before seen the crop, at this season of the year in such hopeless condition. Not more than thirty days ago he reported the outlook along the Central road as being practically ideal. The plant was full grown and heav- fly fruited. Now, he said, in these same fields much of the cotton is lying flat, washed down by the rains, and with water standing all over the fields in many places over the rows. He said the crop had de- teriorated incalculably.

KENTUCKY IS INTERESTED
Eugene Fies Has Attended the Recent Race Meet at Lexington and He Brings Back Glowing Ac-
 counts of Horses.

Eugene Fies returned yesterday from Lexington, where he has been several days attending the racing at the Kentucky Horse Breeders association meeting He reports that practically all the Grand Circuit drivers including Ed Geers, Myron McHenry and a dozen others, will come to the Alabama State Fair week after big racing events.
 This removes any doubt that may have been in the minds of some that the Grand Circuit horses would be seen at the Bir- mingham fair It means, as has been published before. that the racing events harness meeting ever seen in this state. Quite a number of pacers and trotters will be here who have records as low as 2:O8A or better
 The champion prize winning pacers on the Grand Circuit this year, Ardelle, 2:o4%4, with $1017 winnings. and Rudy Kip, 2.044, with S5551 winnings, both members of Ed Geers' string will be seen here, Both these horses are Tennessee horses, Rudy Kip being a son of McEwen, the well known show stallion owned by George Campbell Brown at Ewel1 farm. McEwen is well known in Birmingham, having been seen here this year.

 Nut Boy, 2:07A leading McHenry's string of trotters, will also be here Nut Boy Is the champion money winning horse of the country this year. his total win nlngs on the Grand Circuit amounting to $15, 1892
 There will be dozens of others, besides all the crack horses on the Southern Fair circuit, which will make the aggregation of thoroughbreds at the coming fair the most brilliant display of fine horses ever seen in the south, with the exception of Memphis.
 MT. Fies says that the Lexington meet ing was the most successful he ever at tended. He reports that quite a number of Lexington people manifested interest in the Birmingham fair and several informed him that they intended coming to the fair here.
 WOFk HetdroeO.
 The heavy rains of the past few days have greatly retarded the work on the fair grounds, but Bruce Amis, superintendent of buildings and grounds, Is confident that with two or three days straight sunshine the track and horse show arena and the grounds generally can be put in tiptop condition. There were several inches of water standing in the horse show arena yesterday afternoon, but this will be drained off and fresh earth put on. and covered with tan bark in the next few days.
 The large arc lights for the horse show have been swung and the number greatly increased over the number used last year which insures the horse show at night to be a great deal more brilliantly lighted.
