 Promising THE MALLORY CAMPAIGN Selma Candidate for Governor Seems To Have Touched Popular Chord. New Assistant Postmaster
 Prepares for Work.

Selma, July 2.-(specia1 )-'Too much rain" is the somewhat early cry that is coming in from the surrounding section in regard to the crops There are some spots, however that the rains have seem- ingly sighted since the 18th of May, the date of the state primary, when soak ing rain fell all over Dallas county. These places are really needing rain, but in the sections where the moisture has been plentiful there is now a cry of too much, and fear is felt that the plant will all go to weed or the worms will take it or the bolls rot.

STATE WILL FIGHT
 ADVANCE IN RATE
C. F. NORTH, WHOLESALE MER-
 CHANT, SAYS THE QUESTION < HAS TWO SIDES RAILROADS :, MAY BE FORGED TO INCREASE.

Montgomery, July 27.-(Special.) l.)-With jthe arrival of Gov. B. B. Conner in the city this week the fight which the state is to make to prevent the raises in rates to southern territory will be pitched. It is not known yet what course 1t will take, though some think that charge of violating the Sherman antitrust act may be made. The railroad commission will be in consultation early in the week for the best means to work on. n
 In the Montgomery Journal this after noon appear some interviews with mer- chants on the subject urging that action be taken to prevent the raises. c. F. Mortz, a wholesale shoe man, thinks that the true status of the situation should be developed and thinks friend ly suit might do it. If the railroads are doing the best they can, let them alone; but if not, let there be way found to make them do what is right, he argues. He says:
 ''What the railroads have done is a matter of great importance. There are several ways, however, to look at the question. The railroads have a side as well as the people. Montgomery mer- chants should not kick if the railroads found it necessary to increase their rates in order that they might keep alive. That is the first law of life. The rail- roads have gone through a slump just as much so as the business houses of the south, If I find that I must in crease my profits in order to stay above water I'm going to add a little to the selling price of my goods. So with the railroads. If they must do what they have done, then we have no business kicking.
 But there is another view to be taken of the matter If the railroads have watered their stocks and are paying out big interests on the bonds, then the peo- pie should not be made to pay for this fault and mistake of theirs.
 By bringing friendly suits in the courts, or before the interstate conn merce commission, the one or the other condition can be found out This body should decide what is reasonable and just, and the people should be gov erned accordingly"

the crops in the Black Belt will be as large as in its history. The Age-Herald' 8 correspondent has talked to many far mers within the past few days, and they are without exception encouraged and be- lieve that a good crop Is going to be made. They do not see, either, why a fair price should not be received for the crop and are not going to rush the staple to market. With anything around 10 cents for cotton and the number of bales that would seem to be made, the farmers of this section ought to be in fine condi- tion and business be better in Selma this fall than 1t has been in years.
 The Mallory Campaign.
 The local Mallory campaign committee, which thus far has had charge of the campaign for governor of Dallas gifted son, H. s. D. Mallory, is receiving the most f1attering letters daily from all over the state. In Talladega county a strong Mallory club has been formed with Dr. Heacock as chairman. Requests are pour ing in from other counties asking per mission to form clubs and arrangements are being made to organize each county as the conditions seem to warrant. The belief is strong here that when the final rally comes there will not be anybody but MT. Mallory in the race, and that he will be accorded the office of chief exec utive of Alabama as reward for his zealous party service and because the man and the hour have met to the end that Alabama may advance to the full degree of prosperity to which it is by na- ture entitled.

J. D. O'Gara enters the race for mayor on the following claims:
 My excuse and claims for running for mayor of Bessemer:
 F'irst-That no democratic primary was held, if so, no notice was given to the democrats of Bessemer of such.
 Second-If democratic primary was held no notice was given that any per- sons had received a majority votes cast, and, therefore, were the nominees of the party; such instructions should have been issued by the regular party officials to anyone who had been declared such nom- inees to various offices.
 Irregularities of neglect of the regular constituted authority of the democratic party, I think the field Is open to any citizen to offer himself as a candidate for any of the offices within the gift of the people of Bessemer. J. D. OGARA.
