feeling in splendid condition, having ben efitted greatly by the long rest he has had at home. He also reiterated strongly the statement that he is right in the fore ground of the race for election before the legislature and is even now quietly en- gagged in his campaign.
 While Senator Terrell would say nothinp as to his definite plans, 1t is understood ne Will return to Atlanta some two or three weeks before the legislature meets, open political headquarters and go actively to work for reelection.
 And as has been repeatedly stated in these dispatches. it seems there is nc longer any doubt that Senator Terrells s chief opponent will be Gov-elect Hoke Smith.
 None of the other candidates are doing anything, and Railroad Commissioner Murphey Candler. who, it was thought would come out as the candidate of the Hoke Smith forces. has been laying low"
 It Is not unlikely, however, that the names of MT. Candler, of Judge w. A. Covington, of Moultrie, and of Congress- man T. W, Hardwick will go before the legislature and complimentary vote or two be gwen them, after which it Is the now general expectation that the entire Hoke Smith vote, with the exception of those whc want to see him remain in the office of governor, will go to the gov srnor-elect.
 The result will of course depend upon the relative strength of the sticking Hoke smith vote and the following which Senator Terrell is able to muster.

Why ShouldI Cuticura Soap?

"There is nothing the matter with my skin, and I thought Cuticura Soap was only for skin troubles" True, it is for skin troubles, but its great mission is to pysvent skin troubles. For more than a generation its deli cate cmollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose, while its extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advan- tages of the best of toilet soaps. It is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy, and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation.
 While it's first cost is few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, tits prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears to wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making its use, in practice, most econom- ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, but the truth of these claims may be demonstrated without cost by sending to "Cuticura," Dept. G, Boston, for a liberal sample cake, together with thirty-two- page book on the skin and hair.

 A plant has been established in Bir- mingham for the packing of cane syrup. It is new plant, but one of great inn portance.
 The raw material is shipped from South Georgia cane plantations, but the plant had rather get it's material from Alabama farms. As fine syrup cane can be grown in the southern half of, Alabama as is grown in South Georgia. It is only a question of doing it. I am told that the cane planters of South Georgia are get ting rich. The average Alabama farmer is getting poor trying to raise cotton.
 The suggestion, the market and the in- cIeasng demand for pure cane syrup should be enough to inspire our people to immediate action.
 The Birmingham plant also wants sorghum syrup for canning. There is a demand for the commodity and the Bir- mingham plant offers a ready market for all that can be produced.
 The lands of North Alabama are ad- mirably adapted to the growing of sorg- hum cane. It is a profitable crop-far more profitable than cotton and the boil weevil will not eat it.

 A contract has been let for the build ing of a s60,000 courthouse for Fayette county to take the place of the one that was destroyed by fire few weeks ago.
 This is commendable enterprise Thc ashes of the old building had not cooled before Probate Judge Goodwin and the members of the county board of cimmis- sioners got busy with plans to rebuild The spirit of the county officials is admirably backed by the individual bust ness concerns of the town, all of whom are already rebuilding or are planning to rebuild. Every structure that is talk ing the place of burned building is of brick or stone and is much finer struc- ture than the old. In fact nothing is all lowed in the business section of the plucky little town but brick or stone.
 Fayette has the pluck, the money and as good credit as any town in the state Rebuilt along such broad lines it is bound to be one of the best agricultural towns in Alabama

STRIKING LOCOMOTIVE EN eINEERs
Tie Up Traffic Upon Lines of Southern
 Pacific in Mexico.

For some weeks past it has been known that there was some dilli- culty over the question of wages between the management of the Southern Pacific of Mexico and the locomotive engineers employed upon its lines Very little has been said upon either side, but from an occasional word dropped here and there a sense was given that there was pending something important Tuesday of the present week an nouncement was made that a con- mittee of engineers was seeking on arrangement with the manage. ment, and that unless they were successful every wheel south of No gales would cease turning at [ o'clock in the evening.
 It became very evident that the desire of the engineers to make a satisfactory arrangement had been fruitless, as there was no train southward on the Sonora railway that evening, none arrived from Guaymas Wednesday morning, and the train to Cananea did not run. The railway yard at Nogales, in- cluing both sides of the line, is handled by the Sonora railway, and the yard engine was included in the tieup As result the train which arrived from Tucson at 8:35 in the evening could not be made up to return, for under the rules the road engine which brought the train from Tucson could not be used to do the necessary shifting of cars. To have done so would have brought the engineer and fireman

HARl KARI PROPOSED.

 man Sames a reactionary platform was adopted in that county and the ticket was showed under. The four counties enumerated, with Santa Crnz, Pima, Coconino and Navajo, all carried by the republi- cans, would have given in the con- vention a good working republican majority. The territorial commit tee threw open a door to such re- suit. Had Chairman Sames and Secretary Pryce been present at the meeting of the committee they would have seen the open door and pushed the party through 1t; in- stead of slamming it shut as they did.
 Now the same two gentlemen ask the republican party of Ari- zona to commit hari kari on the ninth of February by attempting a forlorn hope against adoption of the constitution. It would be utter folly to do SO.
 The republican party of Arizona cannot stand such a defeat as would be administered by it's for mulating an organized opposition to adoption of the constitution. THE OASIS believes it is time for its leadership to cease fighting wind mills and devote attention to draw ing together the various elements and building up the party.

tons and preclpltaled strike on all of the Southern Pacific system, from New Orleans to Portland, Oregon All the engineer could do was to back the train out of the way, cut off the locomotive and take it to the round house. When 1t came out in the morning he could only couple on to the train wherever it might be, and start for Tucson when the time arrived. He could not take the train up to the depot to make the start. It had to start from where the locomotive was attached. That was down in the yard near the court house where the train had stood over night; so it was there that start was made, passengers, mail, express and baggage being taken down there.
 Wednesday morning all the To- comotives belonging to the South ern Pacific of Mexico, (embracing six engines, including the yard iocomotive), that had been stand Ing in the round house on the Ari. zona side of the line, were fired up and taken across the boundary, where they are standing with steam up Master Mechanic Fiedler has them in charge.
 Wednesday morning just before noon a train was made up at the Sonora railway station, and with Assistant Superintendent Kings bury at the throttle 1t started at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The train consisted of loco motive, mail car, baggage car and two coaches. The Pullmans had re- turned to Tucson with the South ern Pacific train in the morning.
 As stated in preceding para graph the train to Tucson Wednes- day morning started from a side track down in the yard in front of the court house and backed out of town, going backward as far as Calabasas, where there Is a Y. Going around that the train was headed about and proceeded the rest of the distance with the loco motive in the lead.
 Wednesday it was reported that the train from Tucson at evening would bring a crew for the switch engine and that cars could be moved in the yard; but no crew came, and in getting the morning train out of town Thursday morn ing the same course was pursued as on Misunderstanding the train to Calabasas.
 About the same time the train left Nogales for Guaymas another started for Nogales from the Quay mas end of the road. It arrived at Nogales about noon of Thursday. The engine was run by an ex- engineer named Grove. At Mag dalena it met the train going in the opposite direction and Mir. Grove exchanged with Assistant Superintendent Kingsbury, who took the engine of the southbound train to that point.
 It is reported that the Naco- Cananea branch has kept it's train running by Assistant Superinten- dent Kuch, who Is an old time locomotive runner
