there is no talk about bank panic or

PLANT BURNED AT RAGLAND Main Building Destroyed By Fire At An Early
 Hour Tuesday

Ragland. June 2.-(Special 1.-The Rag land Cooperage plant located at this place. was burned this morning about o'clock. The fire is supposed to have originated from a spark that iSnited the dust-fiber. Soon after the fire was dis covered the main building was enveloped in flames and it was impossible to check their head way.
 The warehouse which was situated near the main building was consumed with it's contents which were heads ready to be shipped out. The dry kiln, which was located some distance away from the main building and built of brick, was not materially damaged.
 The plant represented an investment of about S12O00. The loss is covered by in- surance to the amount of about $500.
 The plant was owned by local men and the main stockholders are: Messrs. Dr. J. T. Brown. the McNeil Bros, N. w. Quillan, E. D. Kimbell.
 The stockholders have not decided whether the mill yill be rebuilt or not. About 40 men are thrown out of em- ployment on account of the burning.

EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
 1874-1901
No. 117-The Fusion of Two Factions
 Thomas G. Jones, Governor

said. the body assembled was the largest state political convention ever seen in Alabama, from that day to this.
 MT. A. F. Longshore of Shelby county had been an early sympathizer with the
 Farmers Alliance. He was now a popu- list leader. The permanent chairmanship of the convention fell to him. MT. w. H. Skeggs, a young banker of Talladega, was not eligible to membership in the a1- liance. He came to the convention as a populst. Skeggs was appointed chairman of the committee on resolutions. When he brought in his report he delivered a speech at length. He was captivating
 orator and his eloquent tongue aroused the widest enthusiasm.
 Col Philander Morgan of Talladega county was a populist, gentleman of culture and capacity. youger brother of
 the senator He was widely considered
 outside the convention as the fusion can didate for governor. But within the meet ing no name for that office was men toned but that of Captain kolb. The platform was adopted by viva voce vote. The name of R. F. kolb as nominee for governor was proposed from the stage. Thereupon the vast audience as one man sprang to it's feet, waving hats and sending the rebel yel'' in all it's ancient reverberating spirit out upon the air.
 | The full state ticket was made up inn
 mediately. J. c. Fonvlle for secretary of state, w. T. B. Lynch for state auditor, | Thomas K Jones, state treasurer; w. s. Reese, Jr, attorney general; J. P. Oliver. superintendent of education, and Rev. s. M Adams, commissioner of agriculture. | We may profitably consider the plat form, to test it by the democracy of to- day. The principles laid down were "a free vote and an honest count" The legislature must comply with the proviso of the constitution, which Governor Jones had urged upon 1t, the enactment of a law for contests before it of state officers claiming election. Public education must be promoted. Convicts must be removed from the mines Crop lien laws must be enlarged in their protection of labor to include>all labor. There must be a state inspector of mines elected by the people. Children under 13 years of age must not be permitted to labor in mines
 These propositions concluded practically | the entire platform of the fusion. Col. w. c. Oates had resolved to retire from Congress where he had held seat for many years, in which he seemed in vircible. He aspired to the seat in the Senate held by Hon. James l.. Pugh. He conceived the process of promotion to it through one term in the office of gover- nor. little mindful of the waste of pres tige the governors office habitually carries with it.
