Champ Clark has secured a
majority of the delegates to the
Baltimore convention and will
have control of the convention,
both temporary and permanent.
While the speaker enters the
convention with this advantage
he is still about two hundred
votes short of the two thirds
necessary to secure the nomina-

pas-ReIIefs Of the stone Age.

Some large bas-reliefs dating from
the Stone Age have Just been dis
covered at Lanosel, In the French prov
ince of Dordogne. They are sculp-
tured on the rock of a shallow grot-
to, and solely represent animals. 1t is
thought that the primitive sculptors
probably refrained from introducing
the human figure In art by a tabu
similar to the present Mohametan
tabu on such representation. The
animals shown In the reliefs are rein
deer. oxen. bisons, and a huge horse
of prehistoric dimensions.

Popularity Of "Rock Of Ages"
When Toplady In 1776 wrote the
"Rock Of Ages" he could not have con-
ceived that 1t would become so widely
known or so popular among all shades
OF religious opinion. It was this hymn
that Mr.. Gladstone translated into
three languages. and which the Prince
Consort asked for when on his dsaths
bed.

Picked Up Ancient Scotch Coin.

A unique, ancient coin dated 1877,
was picked up recently by Mr.. George
Jackson, Of Johnshaven, Kincardin-
shire, Scotland, while he was working
in his garden. On the one side is the
crossed sword and scepter with the
crown, and on the other a Scotch
thistle, with the date over the top.
"Hib. Rex" can be distinctly read.
The small copper coin, Just the size
of . present-day sixpence. Is in ex-
cellent preservation.

ALFALFA IN BLACK BELT.

The growth of Alfalfa in the
black belt of Mississippi and Ala
bama is becoming more popular
with the planters Of that section
and the profits derived exceed
that of any other crop. The
southern end of the belt has
gone more extensively into the
growth of this fine plant and
some of the farms in Noxubee
county Mississippi, Sumpter and
Bullock counties Alabama, con-
tain fields of more than two
hundred acres in alfalfa. The
crop this year has been excep-
tionally luxurant. the yield has
been heavier than ever before,
and the price has SCARED far be-
yond any former year. Last
week in Sumpter county $3.50
was paid per ton while Bullock
county alfalfa brought $3.50 at
Union Springs. These prices
are higher than was ever receiv-
ed for hay on the Chicago mar
ket, and as the producer gets
this price in cash right at his
railroad station he is receiving
the full value of his product.
The introduction of alfalfa in
the black belt will prove to be
the salvation of that section.
The boll-weevil has made his ap-
pearance there and within the
next two years he will devastate
every field worked by a negro in
cotton. The negro is unable to
cope with any difficulty where
industry and intelligence is re-
quired and he will desert the
farms as the .weevil approaches.
Following him will 60 in a class
of small farmers who will buy
up the large plantations and con.
vert them into small, we'll cult.
waited farms. The present owners
of these farms who shall attempt
a continuation of the present al
cotton policy with the negro as
laborer will be bankrupted within
a few years and their fine lane
will go under the hammer. The
new conner will become both
landlord and tenant and viii
transform this beautiful section
into a veritable garden spot. He
will build good roads and where
now are found only the lonely
and uncomfortable hut of the
negro will be found modern
homes with Industrious white
farmers who will add greatly t
the wealth and taxpaying proper
ty of the section.
