squeal that has been made is in the
minds of some of the fellows in the

claims against the association will be
paid. Just recall the string of rainy
days that we have had Not a base

Sundays, and every one of them would
have been good for $500 for the local
association There is nothing the mat

is to it. "Will there be an association
next year? Why not? Perhaps the

AssalIInq the Primary.

The Mobile Register has a CORE
spondent, Alexander" who seems to
be hungry for conventions because
they write platforms. He denounces
vote-drummers at primaries. but has
not word to say about bosses and
dickers at conventions. As for plat
forms, other countries do not indulge
In them. The house of commons is
elected without one, and so Is the
chamber of deputies in France and the
reichstag In Germany. Why do we then
need such hollow wads of hot air?
The Register itself seems to think
there should be conventions to nomi-
nate subordinate officers, because COM
binations are formed by an aspirant
of primary interest and aspirants of
secondary interest. The Registers
plan calls for the nomination, for ex-
ample, of governor in primary and
the nomination of subordinate state
officers in a convention. The Mont.
gomery Journal on the other hand says
the voters had very inferior bunch
to pick from and they marked their
tickets indifferently; but be it said to
their credit, they picked the choicest
in the flock" The editor of the Jour
nal speaks thus generously from ex-
perience, and his testimony is certainly
as good as that of the Register.
Taking things by and large it is
best in Alabama to keep in the pop
ular swim by letting the democratic
voters acting directly select their own
officers. They will in fact force the
issue if they are thwarted in any re-
snect

Cooler Weather in Siuhi.

General rains and cooler conditions
in the Far West undoubtedly have put
an end to the hot spell. August be-
came torrid in It's closing days, and
the torridity Tapped over into Septem-
Der, but no doubt we will now have
cooler nights and perhaps cooler days.
In this latitude more warm suns are
due and expected In fact, they are
needed to open up the cotton bolls and
to mature the late corn, and we will
no doubt experience them.
The summer as a whole has been
reasonable in the matter of tempera-
t1re. The rainfalls were nicely dis
tributed, making it one of the greenest
summers ever known In the south.
Perhaps week did not go by without
bringing a refreshing shower. This in
Itself kept the temperature within
bounds, and the summer as an entirety
must be considered one that was pleas
ant and enjoyable.

A man who had watched the affair

dissertation: Arkansas has a greater
variety of hogs and less pork and lard
than any state in the union. An average
hog in Arkansas weighs about fourteen

razorback because it is shaped like a

any more than to shoot at a split Single

type OF razorback is known as the stone

nose so long that it balances up behind

ties a stone to its tail to keep 1t from

running II the stone is too heavy it will
pull the skin over its eyes and II will go

Georgia is Marching On.

Governor-to-be Conner stands for the
Georgia classification and Georgia
rates, and he has behind him a popu-
lar majority of 10000, and probably a
legislature and a railroad commission
and possibly an attorney general.
But Georgia refuses to stand pat on
her classification and rates while Ala
bama adopts them. The Georgians
represented by Hoke Smith demanded
In their recent state convention two
cent passenger fares, a general level
ing of interstate rates, an anti-free
pass law, an anti-lobbying law of the
most drastic nature, the licensing of
foreign railroads, the elimination of
watered stock, new duties for the rail
road commissioners, and reasonable
rates. All these demands are specifi-
cally named in the platform of the tri-
umphant Hoke Smith wing of the dem
ocratic party of Georgia.
The Georgia legislature does not
meet until June 28 of next year The
question then arises, will Mr.. Conner
walt until Georgia has legislated and
established these new railroad reforms,
or will he anticipate their action by
accepting the declarations of the de-
mocracy of Georgia? When he de-
clared for the Georgia classification
and Georgia rates, he evidently did not
know how far Georgia would go. He
sees now no doubt that Georgia is set
ting hot pace, and that he will have
to hustle to keep up with her.

be seen what forty-per-cent money
means. But thus far the prices of
stocks have not been materially af-
fected. although It is probable that
neither call nor time money will be
abundant this month.
Our big crops created the present
market conditions. We have grown
this year TT million bushels of wheat,
and Canada will add to this IS million
bushels The corn crop promises to
be very large, and the cotton crop will
probably be towards top figures. The
moving of these three great crops alone
calls for vast sums of money, and
while the crops are moving neither the
spectators nor the general trade Of
the country is willing to wait patiently
for needful money.

From the Washington Post.
IT HERE Is a large class of young
w women coming into active life,
chiefly those who have received
a college education, who insist that should
they ever conclude to consider the ques-
ton of matrimony, at 'all, it must be on
basis of complete intellectual sympa
thy and companionship with their hus-
bands.
In the earlier stages of marriage there
could have been little thought ques-
tlon of companionship. Wives were ac-
qured by capture, or barter, and were
wanted chiefly to bear children and do the
work of the partnership. The men hunted
and fought, and the women performed
all the labor. The more wives a man had
the greater chief was he. His friendship
and companionship, so far as he had
any were among his comrades in war
and the chase, and womankind was not
expected to discuss matters outside their
sphere. AS civilization developed, how
ever, and manners softened, the faith
full devotion and endearng affection of
women began to have their effect, and

Call Money and Gold.

The reserve above legal require
ments in the New York banks has
fallen almost to Zero and money is
scarce in New York-so scarce that
call money was bid up on Wednesday
to 40 per cent, and this rise in the
money rate was repeated on Thursday.
On that day Secretary Shaw came to
the relief of the New York money mar
ket by advancing government funds to
national banks intending to make gold
imports. This is the relief applied last
April after the San Francisco disaster,
and 1t is to be utilized in the present
crisis.
Gold importation is after all the true
remedy, and some gold has been Sc
cured In London for shipment to New
York-probably about 100000. Some
gold is coming, too, direct from Aus
tralia, so that altogether considerable
sum will perhaps be attracted this way

From Newspaperdon1.
A daily newspaper for women Is now
published in Picking, and has awakened a
widespread desire on the part of Chinese
women to learn to read, 1t Is called the
Picking Women's Journal, and is the out
come of the intellectual awakening that
followed the Boxer uprising and the occu-
pancy of the country by the allies In the
attempt to assimilate western learning
which followed these troubles, the leaders
of the nation realized that their women
must be educated, and the paper was
one of the means adopted to this end.
Paragraphs against foot-binding appear
frequently in the paper, and among the
subjects of recent articles are Evils of

SAM sMALL's DEVIL.
Evangelist Introduces His Conception

popular conception furnished by the
artists, of fiaring mustaches. billygoat
whiskers and a spiral tail. with an ar
row point at the end.
God Almighty never made such look
ing object, and the devil himself has too
much sense to get himself up in that
shape If he came to indianapolis looking
like that you'd all go callyhootin'. and you
couldn't stop till you got plumb across
White river. No, the devil wants people
to stay at home when he comes to do
business with them. He knows that if
he should send a message that he was
coming In on the 1880 train in that kind
of a rig you'd all skedaddle. The Mayor
and the council and the band would never
meet him at the station and give him
the keys of the city. I don't mean to
say there are not plenty of city officials
who would welcome him and give the city
