SATURDAY, SEPT. 22nd 1894.
Capt. D. D, Shelby having de
clined the nomination for Congress
the Republican District Committee
met and endorsed the candidacy of
Mr. Lae Candall.
- -• ■ ■ -
The large and representative at
tendance at the District Republican
Convention held at Decatur, Wed
nesday, is a pretty convincing evi
dence of the strong and healthy and
growing Republican sentiment of
this district.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Boston Couraut, under the caption
of “Who is Astwood,” devotes a
considerable portion of its valuable
space to a refutation of some charg
es that unsavory character makes
against Miss Ida B. Wells, and her
work. We think the Courant makes
a mistake in taking Astwood seri
ously, for we of New Orleaus, where
Astwood once had a quasi residence^
know him to be a fraud of the mon
umental kind, and a man not too
good to do any piece of dirty work.—
New Orleans Monitor.
Our conveuti >n met and 'named
Hon. David D. Shelby, the giant
among the legal lights of the Slate,
as the Republican’s choice for con
gressman. The nomination was a
fit one. Whether the distinguished
nominee will sacrifice his large and
lucrative practice for the unprofita
ble and onerous duties developing
upon a Congiessional party nomi
nee is quite doubtful. Whether he
does or does not accept, the conven
tion did the right thing in nomiuat
ing him. His disinterested devo
tion to the principles of the party
marked him out as justly meriting
the confidence and esteem ot the
Republicans thus shown.
The students of Rust Normal
School, now Central Alabama
Academy, met at (hat institution
last Tuesday night and completed
the organization of the Allumui As
sociatiou. Mr. H. C. Binford calK
ed the meeting to order,alter singing
aud prayer by Elder Wesley Pretty
man the association proceeded to bus
iness. The paper by Mrs. M. E^
Hall on the history of the school
was a valuable one The paper by
Mrs. Lucy D Pope on memoirs,
was a valuable acquisition to the
association. The election of officers
resulted as follows: Mrs. L. D.
Pope, president; Mr Patrick Perk_
ins, vice president; Dr L R Fearn?
recording secretary; Miss Lila B
Rankin, corresponding secretary;
Mrs A R Cooper, treasurer; Mrs.

where an elegant repast awaited
them, prepared by the faculty and a
most enjoyable evening was spent
aud the members repaired to thtir
several homes wishing lor many re

The Louisiana Sugar Planters’
Convention Pleases Them.
DEMOCRATS ARE NOT UNEASY,
General Catching* Say*. Without the Su
gar Men, Louisiana I* Safe, and That
Element Was O ily a Drawback to the
Party That Tried to Protect Them All It
Could, Consistently.
Washington, Sept. 20.—The Repub
lican managers of the campaign com
mittee are greatly pleased at the action
of the planters’ convention in Louisiana,
and expect a majority of the delegation
from that state in the next congress to
be Republicans, elected by the better
class of citizens. They are not saying
much about the matter, however, a
they do not care to frighten off new
converts by the revival of the old Re
publican organization there. They pro
pose to have the new order of things
worked out by the people who of their
own free wTilI have broken from the
Democratic party.
At the Democratic headquarters th
Louisiana affair is made light of. They
insist that the Republicans have no
possible chance of getting more than
one district, and express the opinion
that even that will not be done. Sena
tor Faulkner said that he w'as not
alarmed about Louisiana; that he ha i
no doubt about the election of a solid
Democratic delegation from that state.
The planters, he said, were not strong
enough to affect the result.
Representative Catckings, who was
passing through the city on his way to
Mississippi, said:
“I am delighted at this action ot me
planters. If that element in Louisiana
goes over to the Republican party it
makes the way easy for tree sugar.
They cannot, in my opinion, elect Re
publicans to the house, and Democrats
who are elected in spite of their opposi
tion will be under no obligations to look
after their selfish interests.
“The demands of the Louisiana plant
ers have been an embarrassment to the
Democratic party, and 1 shall not be at
all grieved to have them cut loose. E\ n
if they should succeed in sending Re
publicans to congress it would not b<j a
matter of great consequence to the Dem
ocratic party. 1 don’t think there is
any danger of onr being dependent upon
that delegation to hold the next house,
however. The state is Democratic with
out the planters, and we can very well
afford to have them in the opposition.”
In answer to the suggestion that the
vote of Louisiana might be important
should the next presidential election be
thrown into the house, General Catch
ings said that he thought there was no
probability that the house would be
called upon to elect the next president.
Both Senator Faulkner and General
Catchings. in commenting on the gen
eral situation, called attention toevid, i
ces of a revival of business, which th y
believed would result beneficially to tue
party in power at the present time.
Senator Faulkner said that informa
tion received by him from different
quarters showed a great revival in both
retail and wholesale business, and in
many lines of trade he said there was
an extraordinary activity developing
General Catchings pointed to the i
creased demand upon the treasury j
small currency and the large sale <
postage stamps as an infallible sign u.
revival of business. The treasury de
partment, he said, had been pressed t
the utmost for small currency, and con
siderable gold was being offered in er
^change for it.
The sale of postage stamps during the
past two or three weeks, he said, he wa
informed has been almost unprecedent
ed. These two things, he said, were
the best possible signs of a revival <
business activity.
LET THE DANCE PROCEED.
Preacher Moorehome'a Attempt to Turn
It into a Prayerinectinif*
New York, Sept. 20.—The K w. A. C
Moorehouse’s attempt to stop a dan -t
in a barn in Smithtown, L. I., a few
nights ago, has created talk among tin
young people. The barn is owned bv
Harry Newton, and is located near tit
parsonage of the Methodist church, <v
which the Rev. Mr. Moorehonso is pas
tor.
The barn dancing was kept up until
a late hour. At the height of the gay
ety in walked the gtay-haired pastor,
bowed with age. He raised his hand
and the music was hn-di-d and then th
dancers stopped. The venerable gen
tleman then began to exhort those pres
ent to refrain from indulging in pleas
ure of that kind.
For a few minutes his remarks were
listened to with kindly attention, but
when he volunteered to open up a pray
ermeeting then and there a storm of
protests op ;ned up on all sides. The
clergyman was forced to retire and the
dancing was soon under way again.
Scanlon Removed to White Plains. •
New York, Sept. 20.—William J.
Scanlon, the actor, who was adjudged
to be insane by a sheriff’s jury, after
having been an inmate of the Bloom
ingdale Insane asylum for more than
