Judge M F. Brooks and E.. M. Lovelace of Brewton yesterday brought to Montgomery a sample of their to- bacco. which they are growing in Es- cambia County, on an experimental farm of two acres. The stalk which was on exhibition in the office of ]. A. Wilkinson. Commissioner of Agricul- ture. measured seven feet high, and was the average of the whole two acres.
 The leaves on the stalk measured from eighteen to twenty-four inches in width, and is said to be as line quality as any Cuban tobacco that is grown. The tobacco on exhibition Is not what is known as the sun-grown, but is three-quarters shaded.
 The two acres under expertm cultivation are fenced in by a board fence eight feet high. making a solid enclosing wall. On the top of this, lathes are placed, which Shade the whole field, admitting just enough sun. The advantage of this partially shaded growth is said to lie in the fact that all tobacco so grown is of better quail ity than the plant which gets the full

FIRE IN LAUNDRY.

Garments are Consumed in Flames on
 Perry Street.
 Flames in the drying room of the Montgomery Steam Laundry, I14 North Perry Street, destroyed a number of garments at 10:Ae o'clock yesterday morning. The fire was extinguished by Babcock's and the damage was slight, The blaze originated, from the heat apparatus used in drying the clothes, although in exactly what manner Is not known.
 Down at the Madison Avenue Depart ment there is a tradition to the effect that the fourteenth fire of the month Is almost invariably a serious one. In the case of the fire at the laundry yes- terday tradition belied itself, for that fire was the fourteenth and yet the re- suit was far from fearful In fact as one of the fireman said in speaking of the damage, the only things burned were clothes, and no one needs such articles during thes weather prevail ing. Still there is an opinion among the men that had the fire happened Friday instead of Saturday a moment ous confiagration would have resulted.

SUPREME COURTS WORK.

Justices are ExpeeteG to Complete Their
 Work Before July.
 Present conditions indicate that the Supreme Court will have gotten out all preferred cases at an unusually early day and that adjournment for the summer will be taken before June 30.
 The sessions of the court generally endure into July but on account of the eIoseness with which work has this year been followed 1t Is probable that the last of June will see the end of work.

The Republicans Of Elmore county
are about as badly demoralized as in
other sections Of the state. The
convention held here is characterized
by leading members Of the party as
a farce, and they make no bones Of
their intention to cut the ticket. As
the proceedings at the county conven-
tion ! comes, generally known the
disgust deepcns. The ticket was, OF
course, framed up before the conven-
ton met; but even after this the del
egates were suspicious of one an
other, 20 nominations. for the Offices
upon which there was fight were
made the FIRST order of business. This
was done in order that delegates who
were Iukewarm in their support Of
those selected by the boss should
not have'an opportunity to be STAN.
peded and thus break the slate. NJ
chances were to be taken not in {
Republican county convention afte
what had happened in the state con
vention Of that party. One or two 0
the candidates selected refused TO rul
and will make no canvass even !
their names are placed on the ticket
Conditions appear propitious for
clean sweep by the Democratic nomi
ness on the County ticket.

BRADY'S PART IN BROKEN
PLEDGES


When the Republican caucus in the
last Legislature by close vote re-
pudiated all the bills that were. pro-
posed to. redeem the party's pledges,
nineteen Of the Republican members
Of the house found their position in
tolerable and came to the Democrat
ic ninority.and informed them that
they had broken with their colleagues
and requested the Democrats to aid
them in passing the reform measures
demanded by the people. The Demo-
Gratis readily agreed and the bills were
introduced and put upon passage in
the house Jim Brady, who was
chairman Of the Republican state
central committee. hastened to Boise
from his Pocatello home. What for
/ Was IL to strengthen the arms of the
members Of the party who proposed to
redeem the party's pledges? Not
much He came for the purpose OF
driving back into the Republican eau
Gus the reformers who had bolted anc
who knew that they could accomplish
nothing in caucus but would havs
their hands the more securely tied
This was the part taken by jim
Brady in the Reputation of hi
party's pledges.
The reform measures passed tn
house by the combined votes of tn
insurgent Republican and all the Dem
ocrats, but were defeated in the senat
by the Republican majority. = Bots

HE'S NOT TO BLAME

Culver had running off at the
mouth again in his last ISSUE. Were
it not for the fact that he Is bound
body and soul to the little gang that
purchased a pile Of junk for the pur-
pose of printing a paper for their
amusement the whole matter would be
langhable. but. as William is forced
to print this nonsensical trash, and,
AZ ne must suffer public condemnation
and abuse il really becomes serious
and We are led to extend sympathy
rather than censure.
Several times in the past, both pri-
vatcly and publicaiy, Culver has
announced himself opposed TO the
dirty tactics he had been following
and ready TO turn over a new leaf and
apply his efforts TO the upbuilding Of
the community. But the gang landed
ON him and it was either a case Of
sling the mud or get out, and Culver
poor devil, naturally chose the for
mer.
Culver Is rather to be admired for
the nerve he has shown in his attacks
Of the past six months. He has
faced the abuse while the power be-
hind has laughed over his shoulder at
the sorry spectacle he is making OF
himself. They are too cowardly te
come out into the open, so employed
Culver 10 do their dirt work for then
and Of course he must either do their
bidding or vacate.
4 Culver has sold out his persona
liberty in the matter Of conducting
the paper and as for honor and integ
rity, he has never been accused o
possessing either, consequently WI
expect nothing from him.
Were we to make an attack upol
him we might publish some OF IN
numerous dealings with his creditors
wholesale houses, his bad check
around town, the method in which tn
plant was juggled in July to saw
the thing from sheriff's sale an
heat out honest creditors who ha
extended him the courtesy of credit
and numerous other questionable sub
Jects that are town talk but we ar
not disposed to kick a cripple
Should we print this stuff we woul
only follow the miserable policy {
the poor sucker, and we refuse to low
or ourself to the filth.
We may be compelled to expose
the rotteness of the Republican Prini
1ng Company in order that the publ
may know VINO is really responsible
for these personal attacks and if "
do we promise some juicy readin
that will make some of our good ar
Saeapeetabie citizens squirm. And don
