The Senatorial MIDDLE

CAMDEN, Tenn, Aug. 28.-Hon
Will K Alternately, of Selmer, Nc.
Marry County, will likely be the next
state senator from the Twenty-sixth
District, which is composed of the
counties of Benton. Decatur, McNairy,
Hardin and Hardeman, as he has been
agreed upon by the regular and indie
pendent Democrats Of the district.
He has for several years been affillat-
ed with that wing of the party ku6wn
as in dependents, but will support the
Hon. Tom c. Rye for governor and
the other Democratic nominees for
state nffices.
The Republicans of the district will
offer Republican for this office as
soon as they can find out the strong
est man to nominate against Mr..
Alternately and as the district is very
close it will take the combined forces
Of regular and independent Demo-
Gratis to land Mr.. Alternately. Com
mercial Appeal.
The above article seems to have
been inspired at conference in Jack
son last week. In Mr.. Alternately s
original announcement he seemed to
be running IN his record, and we in
fer he expected his support from the
fusionists, but it now seems he is a
regular. As stated, there will be a
republican, and also a regular, which
will make a three cornered fight.
That portion Of the above article
which relates to an agreement as to
a candidate seems to be very much
wanting in authority. as both fac
tions of the democrats here repudiate
the proposition that there has been,
or is likely to be, any such agree
ment. The question of a democratic
candidate for state senator, they all
say, is an open one, with several
prospective candidates who will likely
enter when the convention is called.
In this connection the friends of
Judge ]. c. Houston are very insistent
upon his becoming a candidate. 1he
Judge is so far non-committal, how
ever, answering only that he is out Of
politics.

The Farmers Train

Monday at $50 the bills said Com
missioner Peck and his seven cars
would be at Selmer. Nearly one hour
after that time it came. Capt. Peck
was loud in his denunciation of the
local management Of the road at Cor
NTH for the delay at departure.
Mayor J. C. Houston was to make a
short welcome address, but the crowd
was near the depot and the available
end Of the train was below the cot
ton platform. hence speaking was cut
out in order to give the throDg an
opportunity to pass through the train
and inspect the exhibits. All the
leading farmers within several miles
of Selmer with that Of all the Selmer
people made large and good natured
crowd. Capt. Peck made just before
the train left a short talk on reclaim
ing worn out lands, and demonstrated
with little clay, apple vinegar and
ground limestone how simple test
any man could make Of the acidity Of
any subsoil.
r, 7. DeBerry, Asst, CON-, and a
number Of others on the Agricultural
staff were present, A man in each
car answered questions and made
comments as the throng passed
through. It is very clear that Capt
Peck is an able, earnest and indastri.

stiff breeze is blowing, and it is fine
and bracing.

where am sitting and their great
branches are bending to the wind, and
the leaves are in constant motion,
sending forth a message of regret at
the waning of the summer, and a
preparation for the advent Of the
Fall days, which will soon be here.
There is rather dreary note in the
breeze as i5 sweeps through the trees,
and around the house, for it speaks
of change, a change in nature;
and we will have to get used to her
face assuming different look and
wearing a more serious smile. as the
flowers droop and fade, and the days
grow misty, after the early frosts
have blighted the leaves.
| spent day in the country not
long since, and fine road, of clay
and sand, carried US to our destina-
tion, an old fashioned farm house
built by the ancestors of the present
occupants, who were either Dutch or
German. We passed over some fine
bridges, which spanned little creeks
that used to overflow, and kept a
great deal Of land from being cult

producing fine fields of corn-and all
on account of the drainage system,
which is proving such a success in
this country. We enjoyed the ride,
as the day was fine, the country
pretty, and We were in a spirit Of &C
cord with everything we passed.
Situated in little grove on hillside,

its little cross pointing skyward. l

few of the people in the neighbor-
hood belonged to it; that their ances-
tors had left the Lutheran and Joined
it, through the influence Of a certain
man who had made long and deep re-
searches into the histories of both
churches, and when he was through,
preferred the Catholic. We had al
good dinner, and good appetite for
the best noodles ever tasted. Be-
fore leaving we were invited out to
eat melons, which were all out in
slices, placed on a bench under big

Hens are in fine demand. but the supply is still somewhat off.
 Tn the fish market there Is a scarcity of perch and snapper. The demand yes terday. owing to the cold, if Is said. was very good and prices are practically sta tionary. Spanish nackerel experienced a further reduction of 2is cents there being an oversupply of this fish on the market.

TAKING TESTIMONY
 FOR RATE INCREASE
 IS NOW CONCLUDED

Washington. April s.--Taldng of testi- mony by the interstate commerce com mission on the application of eastern raii- reads for 5 per cent increase in freight rates was concluded today, so far as the present phase of the proceedings Is concerned Protestants against any in crease in tho lake and rail rates closed their case with the testimony of Julius H. Barnes of Duluth. who urged that the lake and rail carriecs were not en- titled to an advance in rates. because their service was anticipated and unneces- sarily expensive to shippers.
 In rebuttal of this testimony F. T. Douglas, general manager of the Mutual Transit company, operating steamers on the great lakes. testified that the car riers had exhausted every effort to im- prove their methods of handling freight particularly package freight. and had been convinced that existing methods were the best available.
 Arguments upon the question as to the have been set for April 27 and the com- mission expects briefs to be in hand by that time. It Is probable no further proceedings will be hetd until the com- mission shall have announced deci- sion on that question. If the commits sion should hold that the added income Is not needed. the case will terminate automatically

COTTON UNCHANGED
 ID , POINTS HIGHER
Market More or Less Active. Fluctuations More or
 Less Irregular

New York. April S.-The cotton mar ket was less active today and fluctu- ations were more or less irregular as a result of evening up for over the week end. Prices however, made new high ground for the movement at the start and after midday reactions. closed very steady at a net decline of 5 points on April but generally un- changed to points higher.
 The opening was steady at an ad- vance of 10 to 3. as a result of over night buying orders attracted by the firmness of yesterdays late market and encouraged by the relatively steady showing of Liverpool. There was a good deal of cotton for sale around the initial figures and there appeared to be quite a strong reactionary feel ing around the ring. It was argued. for instance. that the advance to 12.S0 for May contracts carried the market up to within a few points of the price which had attracted cotton here from the south during the latter part Of March. while local traders also con tended that the trailing long interest had accumulated during the past few dayss and that short accounts had much reduced In addition to selling on this theory there was more or less realizing for over the Easter holidays. as tomorrow will be the last day of trading until next Monday.
 unfavorable weather reports and a bullish construction of the semi-annual report by the International Federation of Cotton Spinners showing smaller mill stocks of American b,p aot year, and indicating a consumption for 12 months of 12,050.000 bales. checked aggressive offerings on the decline which carried prices about or points net lower during the middle Of the day Rallies followed on renkwed cover ing and further buying of near months by leading spot house brokers, with July contracts reaching the highest level of the day in the late trading.

WHEAT FIRM ID IA
 CENT NET DECLINE.
Good Buying Brings About Early Recovery From
 Acute Weakness

Chicago. April s.-Misgivings about the chance of wheat being damaged by tho freezing temperature southwest helped to offset today the bearish influence of the government crop report. Accordingly prices closed firm at shade to i4 cent net decline Corn wound up ls@Ac to iac above Monday night. Oats down 1s0p14c. and provisions with a gain of 5Gi71ae to 291ac.
 Good buying brought about an early recovery from acute weakness in whea.. The selling drive on account of the gov egnment figures did not become as severe as was expected. Not only was the cold map a check on the bears, but the steady cables and the outlook for both delay to seeding and for falling off in northwest receipts tended to favor a rally.
 Some confusion arose fin regard to what sized crop the returns would indicate. Ii is explained by a leading expert here that the assumption of 19 bushels an acre as par and resulting estimate os &c., 000. .0O0 bushels for the total yield is not official. but mere trade calculation and is not in accord with the official Way oi llle SbNtlfltutnl IS hS- ing TIE bushels as par. On this basis and on an average amount of winter kill ing the government report would suggest a crop of 55l 900, 900 bushels
 Disregarding winter killing this year however. as virtually negligible, and fig uring the crop deterioration from now till harvest will equal a 10-year aver age, the report would indicate crop of 6o9. .65o,o00 bushels.
 Much spirit was shown on the buying aide of corn. At one time the first actna sales of a cargo of Argentine corn foi scelivery in Chicago led to setback hut the effect failed to last. It appeared that the cargo might not come here but might be. more profitably disposed of in New England. Lghtness of receipts here e,ii west together with more urgent de- mand from interior consumers encour- aged the bulls.
 Oats. although higher earlier. gave way later on account of competition of Cana dian cargoes from Lake Superior.
 Scarcity of hogs lifted provisions. A good deal of attention was given the heavy losses fin the number of hogs left after the winter.
