Tn Plead GniItx.

Will Johnson. the negro. who was arrested yesterday and acknowledged having robbed the hardware store of Gibbs, Quigley and Morgan, today stated that he desired to plead guilty at once and go to the convict camps and serve his sentence.
 He told the officers that he had taken every precaution to cover up his trail and but for the fact that he neglected to take the saws from his pocket with which he sawed the iron bars of the window. he would never have been convicted, as he had secret ed the stolen goods where they would not be found.
 The negro has steadfastly refused to state where he came from when he arrived in Pensacola. When arrested he asked the officer on what charge and where he was wanted, thus show ing that he is wanted in some other cities. It is the belief here that the negro has escaped from some jail by saving the bars, and has committed crimes in other places or else he would not have been so anxious to know where he was wanted. and desire to get away and in convict camp at once.

 Mobile. Oct. 26.--(Special. )--Mr. Trunk, of Chunchula. was in Mobile today and gave out that of the $10,- O00 subscription fund started by the Commercial Club for experimenting with Cuban tobacco in Mobile County, the sum % $5.0o0 has been raised.
 MT. Trunk says the committee ap- pointed by the, Commercial Club has been very inactive. and it is probable that he will come to Mobile to spend week soliciting for the fund.
 The culture of tobacco in this cli- mate and soil Is past the experimental stage in the opinion of Land and In- dustrial Agent W. L. Henderson of the Southern and Mobile and Ohio Rail- roads, who was in the city from At lanta.
 Tt is a well known fact now that tobacco can be cultivated here" said Mfr. Henderson. "The trouble with the growing of tobacco here Is that the proper attention is not given to it. came from a tobacco State and think I know whereof I speak. There is a little worm that gets on the young tobacco leaf and for forty days it Is necessity and required that some one go over the entire crop daily and pluck the leaf wherever a worm is found. If this is not done the tobacco thus in. jured can only be used for fllers."
 It is filters that A. J. Lee. city pas senger and ticket agent of the South ern Railway proposes to grow on his Talladega farm. Mir. Lee finds that tobacco is planted and started just like the sweet potato. A tobacco bed is made and later on plants or vines are set out.

NOT IN THE HOUSE
MANLEY FOSTER RESIGNS FROM
 THE LEGISLATURES.
Holds That His Removal From Tnsca- IoOsa County To Montgomery Oper- ates as Bar--POsfti0n Vacant
 TIIl After Extra Session.

Hon. J. Manley Foster. Representa- tive from Tuscaloosa County in the House of Representatives. yesterday submitted his resignation to Governor B. B. Conner. MT. Foster resigns be- cause he has removed from Tusca- loosa to Montgomery County.
 No successor to Mir. Foster can be selected before the converting of the extra session on November 2. A spec ial election requires thirty days mo- tice under the Constitution. There will not be time between now. and the converting of the Legislature for spe- eial election in Tuscaloosa County. The county therefore, will be represented in the House by Mir. Fosters former colleague, Hon. J. Fleetwood Rice.
 Mir. Foster. several days ago, ac- cepted the position of Assistant Dis Nashville Railroad. with headquarters in Montgomery. As a result, he moved with his family from Tuscaloosa to Montgomery. in view of this. MT. Foster submitted his resignation. He held that under the Constitution, he , was not entitled to represent one coun- ty after moving into another
 1t is understood that there are at least two other members of the Legis- lature who have moved their residence. :. As yet they have not submitted their resignation. It is not known whe- ther they take the same view of the Constitution as does Mir. Foster. The question has been raised, too, as to whether the seat of Senator or Rep resentative cannot be challenged, if he moves into another county, or another district.
 Mir Foster went to Tuscaloosa yes terday to attend to some private bus mess.
