Caucus May Not Settle 1t.

| 1t begins to be apparent that the
question of who will represent Brattle-
| boro in the legislature of 1908 will not
be settled at the republican caucus, as
suming that the representative will be
republican. The suggestion has been
made by at least one of the four repub-
lican candidates now in the field that
the caucus be dispensed with and that
each candidate file nomination papers,
which would prolong the campaign I'M
til election time. The candidate in
question is disposed not to go into a
caucus. says the Brattleboro CORE
spondent Of the Springfield Republican,
although he has not said positively that
he will not, and some of the others feel
that if any candidate intends to file a
certificate of nomination independently
of caucus they all ought to do 50. 1t
is probable that the candidates will get
understanding in regard to this phase
of the campaign. If a caucus is held it
is likely to be long-drawn-out affair.
1t takes a majority vote to nominate,
and as none of the candidates now in
the field is gutter probably several
ballots would be necessary. A major
ity vote also is required to elect. SO if
no caucus is held protracted balloting
may be looked forward to at election
time. A rumor has been current to the
effect that James F. Hooker, who be-
came a candidate before any other per-
son and afterward withdrew, might be
asked by petition to re-enter the con-
test. When asked regarding the mat
ter Mr.. Hooker stated that he did not
wish to become candidate again. but
that if it became apparent at the eau
Gus that none of the avowed candidates
could get a majority and the voters |
united upon him he would accept, the
turn to the fight. The election this year
falls on Tuesday, September l. All |
are required to be filed |
with the town clerk at least Il days
before the election, and it is customary
% hold the caucus two weeks previous
% the Saturday before election day.

LESSON TO BE LEARNED
 FROM STEPHENS'S FARM

On Edge of City--He Is Now Marketing
 Fall Crop.
 J. B. stephens, who won nearly all the agricultural prizes that he could win at the recent state Fair, and whose comparatively small farm on the edge of the city of Montgomery is one of the citys show places, is now en- gagged in marketing a splendid crop of fall vegetables. He has found the growing of small vegetables a splendid money crop for the fall.
 Mir. Stephens Is one of the most suc- cessful cotton growers of Alabama. yet he allows only a small portion of his farming operations to be devoted to cotton. He has found that there is more money in other crops, although he has only subordinated, not aban- doned cotton growing. He deyotes a large part of his farm to raising crops of a diverse nature, which bring in ready money and which make his out lay and his time most profitable. His potato and turnip crop this year is exceptionally large.
 MT Stephens, who, 1t might he men, toned incidentally, has won nearly all the Fair prizes for the past two years. runs a farm on leased land, but his land he has brought up to q high state of cultivation. His farm is looked upon as a model and hundreds of peo- pie visit 1t every year, to gather ideas and information. He Is strong be- liever in the intensive system and he attributes his unusual success in farm ing to the fact that he has grown di- versified crops. rotated them and made every foot of land pay.

CONTESTANTS ARE IN BEAT ls

A pretty point will be involved in the contest that will undoubtedly be made before the canvassing board from Beat I9, in which Dr. J. c. W.lkerson VIII contest che right of John R. Cantalou to be made Justice of the Peace Tn that beat. MT. CantalOu, on the face of the regular election returns, now with the sheriff, is declared to be elect ed a Justice of the Peace of that beat. pr. Wilkerson was the Democratic nominee of the primary.
 MT. Cantalou. 1t is said was an oppo- nent of pr. Wilkerson in the primary. but pr. wilkerson. after the votes were counted, was declared the nomi- nee. In the general election of Tues day, however, MT Cantalou's friends voted for him on the regular ballot by writing his name. He received more votes than pr. Wilkerson.
 Now, the fine point involved is this. Can any name except the name of the regular nominee be written under the Democratic emblem. the game rooster? The claim will be made that there was a blank column left for the voters

Reduced Rates Granted
 Southern Commercial Congress

The Southern commercial secretaries have taken hold of their departments of the work with enthusiasm. Proml- nent Southerners are daily In commit nication with Headquarters In Mont. gomery and all indications now point 10 the most gratifying success.
 MT Dave has been working In way that would make the proverbial Trojan a quitter by comparison, ana his office for the last two months mas been the scene of more hustle ana comprehensive work than perhaps any similar number of square feet In Ala bama.
 As has been said. the Southern Com mercial Congres is the entering wedge of a closer relation between the com mercial and manufacturing interests of the South and the rest of the coun. try. For the first time the massed commercial values of the South are to be placed before capital looking Tor investment, and besides the mutual benefits that will be gained it Is oe- IIeved the combined interests Of the various sections will do much toward A closer understanding between the present half-appreciating forces Of the nation.

who wanted to support an independent and that the only way 10 vote Tor an independent legally was to write ms name in that column. The contest VIII be based upon the proposition that . ballot is void if marked In the circie under the rooster, when a name has been written in.
 Opposed to this will be the claim that each voter has the right to cast his ballot for his choice, whether he ooes or does not have to write the name on the ballot.
 J. A. Cobbs was also elected Justice of the Peace in Beat 1s. but his right to his certificate of election is not under fire. The contest Will be between pr. Wilkerson and MT. Cantalou.
 The issue win simply be that under the law a mark In the circle under the Democratic emblem means straight Democratic vote and that if that mark is made after a nominee has had hls name scratched out and an- other name substituted makes the ballot illegal because it could not be con sidered a straight Democratic ticket. The contest if made will come before l the canvassing board, composed of county officers. It has not yet been | filed but there was much talk of 1t about the court house and on the street corners Wednesday. It was be- lieved that the contest would certainly be filed.
 l pr. Wilkerson and Mir. Cantalou are
 both prominent citizens of the county
 and stand high. Nothing is involved in the contest except the legality of certain votes. There Is no personal
 issue in 1t.

 Berlin, Nov 4.-The Reichstag re- assembled today. Long before the des- ignated hour, the members gathered in the Iobbies and the committee rooms and discussed the position of Chancel- Tor von BueIow, arising from the pubh- cation in Berlin last week of the now famous interview between Emperor William and an unofficial Englishman.
 Neither the Chancellor nor any Min ister appeared at today's session, and an exceptionally full house faced the row of empty ministerial seats.
 Four interpellations were moved ask ing the Chancellor to explain the im- perial interview. TwoEwere by Social fists one by a Radical and another by a Conservative. The House carried by a large mas iority a resolution to postpone dis cussion of the interpellations on an- other sitting.
 The impression is today that Prince von BueIow will be supported by a majority in the House.
