4 Valuable Endorsement.

No man in the State-or the en-
tire South for that matter-is better
posted in national affairs than Maj
Jonas, he able editor of the Aber-
deem Examiner His long residence
at Washington, combined with close
observation and keen analysis has
enabled him TO get a grasp of nation
al politics which always gives him
the ear of the people when he speaks.
In referring TO the Banizhead-Hob
Congressional contest he has the
following:
THE Sixth Congressional District
OF Alabama, in the person OF Hon.
John H. Bankhead, heads the list Of
Democrats on the roll Of the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, and he is the second Dem
ocrat on the roll OF the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors of the
House of Representatives. the only
TWO committees representing interests
vital TO the progress and prosperity
of his State, and giving assurance OF
his becoming the chairman OF one
and the second on the majority roll
Of the other, in the event OF his party
controlling the next House. This
makes his retention in Congress a
matter of vast Importance to his
whole state and to Mississippi as well
and it wold be suicidal folly for his
people, by sacrificing him, to throw
away away those great advantages.
Hobson. if elected, would be given
the insignificant committee assign
ments that always in majority dis
tribution fall to the lot Of new mem
bers, and Alabama would lose the
great prestige it now enjoys.

farm work and growing crops.
The oat crop has made a wonder
ful mprovement. The early
planting of corn has been planted
again and some cotton has been
planted. Gardens are looking up
and the farmer wife has already
begun To bedeck her table with
turnips, mustard. lettuce, onions,
radishes, and Ia ten days early
Irish potatoes will be added to
the list. Pastures are getting
green and sheep, hogs, goats,
COWS and all kinds of stock are
on the. mend, while the young
people have dropped matrimony
and turned their thoughts to
other pursuits more substantial
while they listen to the COO Of the
dove by day and the shrill notes
of the whip poor will by night.
they console themselves with the
thought that it will be only few

open again, and if the old man

our calculations some for two,

However, there are few soft
heads among them, but they are

In all our observations we have
never seen a people, judging by
the way they work. more determ
ined to make a crop. Some of
our Caledonia farmers have work
ed their lands more before they |
were planted than does the farmer |
on the prairie lands when their
crops are laid by. But the small
farmer on the sandy land is the
man who gets the largest yield
and the greatest profit per acre. |

executors will be asked to pay taxes
amounting to about 81, SOC, 900. This
will be by far the greatest sum ever
levied upon the property Of an insiivid-
ual taxpayer and is practically the re-
suit Of decision by the board Of re-
view fixing personal property on which
the Field estate must pay taxes at
$4,000. The real estate is worth
$50, DOC, 600 additional, making the TO-
tai amount Of property on which that
estate must pay taxes approximately
$tSe, 000, 900.
The larger portion Of the assessment
against the Field estate is for back
taxes upon which the late Mr.. Field
is held by the board of review to have
avoided paying taxes. The board has
gone back seven years and levied hack
taxes against the Field estate for the
entire period of the existence Of the
present taxing machinery, which was
created in 1899.

WAITING IN VAIN
FOR GOOD NEWS

|. st. Petersburg, Aug. mo report
Of the suspension Of the great revolt
of the garrison of Sveaborg fortress,
the Gibraltar of the North" has
been received in st. Petersburg up to
this hour. The secondary uprising
among the marines and troops station
ed at Skatuden barracks on the penin-
sula communicating with the main
land, was crushed out at late hour
yesterday afternoon by loyal troops
after heavy fighting in which nine
cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats
took part.
The sound Of firing on the islands
and from the fortresses has ceased and
in spite of the fact that the occupation
of the entire water front by Cossacks
prevents obtaining positive news, it is
announced at Helsingfors that the
mutinous artillery men and sappers
still are holding their positions. The
outlying islands and the fortress ap-
pear to be in their possession and they
have perhaps all the machine guns,
quickfrers and movable artillery of
the fortress.
Government Holds One Fort
Gen. Lamong, the commandant of
the fortress, is holding onto the main
fort on Commander island with force
of loyal infantry The last dispatch
Of the correspondent of the Associated
Press, which has just arrived here,
was eleven hours en- route from Hell
singfors. The military received q tele-
gram from Helsingfors during the
morning from Maj. Gen. Lamong an
nouncing that the fo-tr, sses and artil-
lery had opened fire upon Commander
island. The insurgents seized all the
machine.gu and took possession of
one of the islands.
Almost the entire fortress is in the
hands of the insurgents, and there
we're comparatively few loyal troops in
Helsingfors. The entire district pop
ulation is led by the red guard"
