TUn deed U done, and the third party haw put out a candidate against Mr. Crisp. He will run the race for congress from tlie third district, and his name is not Chistopher. lilue Fred” Wimberly, of Pulaski, is the nun. He was nominate ! Tuesday as the third party candidate for congress. And Dr. U A. Harper was nominated as tho third party candidate for the sen ate from the thirteenth district. The meeting waa opened Tuesday by the election of George II. Sieg, chair man, and C. A. Thompson, secietary. Jusc after this the committee on ere dentiaU was appointed. This committee showed that nil hut two counties were represented by delegates, and Wilcox and Twiggs were the two counties that were not represented. Mr. Collins of Schley county then moved that the delegates from each county l»e allowed to vote platform. It was moved to adjourn until 2 o'clock, hut the motion was not carried. Then came the com- mltteo on platform as follows: and start a paper, and that was all that was necefsary. He said that Tiik Timm-Ukcordeu would not give them justice. Christopher’s speech waa an enigma It dealt with everything politically. It waa what might be called a “I.ulu There was nothing in it that could be answered by sober argumennt, but it was filled with the greatest slab. And the same in that of Wimberly's. Nothing was was said and both were simply tilled with wind. The entire meeting was a burlesque and if there were seventy-live people'i party men present it is a surprise to ail democrats. It was a slim meeting and every body was unanimous in saying so. ^ There was nothing done at tho meet Ing yesterday except the nomination of Wimberly and Harper and while tho del egates were earnest in convictions they hint nothing to say.

Continuing this throughout the thirty-two row., we had wlton done four shock row* of each. When husked these .bock row. wire weighed separately. We also separated tho merchantable from the unmeroliant- able corn and calculated the yield of each separately per acre. We find that the unmerchantable corn from the four plots from which the tassels were re moved averages 2d per ceht., whilo the averages from the other four rows Is 21 per cent, unmerchantable. Tho calou lations also show that the average yield per acre is about one bushel lea* than where the corn was left undisturbed. It is probable that the tassels wete not removed in this experiment early BY A MAJORITY OF AT LEAST 30, 000 VOTES.

The third party, tinder the lead of Kolb, the democratic bolter, assisted by the repub lican state organization, and If reports be true, by the funds of the national re publican committee, has made a desper ate effort to capture the state, lint this aggregation is being routed today at the polls, as its leaders were routed oil every stump. The eutire state democratic ticket will be elected by from 40,000 to 30,000 ma jority. A very heavy vote ia being polled anti the expectations of the democratic com mittee aro being realized everywhere. This county will give a democratic ms- lorlly of 4,OilO anti Calhoun, in which Anniston ia situated, is good for at least ,000 The republican force* were unable to control the negroes, anti it Is now be- lievrd that as many negro votes will be cast for Jones as there will lie white votes for Kolb. The extreme excitement of the cam paign and numerous personal difficulties which occurred during Its progress, ratised many to fear that there would lie serious trouble at the polls today, but far nothing of tho kind ha* been heard of. The fight here has been very much on ■ he same Knee as that In Georgia and the result In Alabama Is significant of hat will occur in Georgia on tho first Wednesday in October. At the Kolb headquarters here the leaders make all aorta of lidlculous as sertions, but thslr Incoherent talk and rattled manner show that they realize their defeat. Everybody la Jubilant at the demo cratic headquarters, as It I* only a ques tion of majority. They want to see It big enough to crush the last vestige of third psrtylsm In Alabama, and send a wsvo of demo cratic enthusiasm all over the eountry. Tonight there will be a great demo cratic Jubilation In Birmingham and hundreds of other places In the state. The lint ellort to break the solid south In this presidential year haa proved a miserable failure, Knlb'a I'rwlnrt. Ei'FAl'l.A, Ala., August I,—The KOLII STILL KICKING BUT LATE RETURNS CONTINUE TO PILE UP JONES’ MAJORITY. — If la Now llrllrtral to KkvmI XH.OOO, with Count Ira yet to he Heard From. Both llotiae aad Menate Overwhelmingly Dem ocratic. Kolb may Coateat. Moxtoomkkv, August[Special.]— There la absolutely no doubt whatever as to the result In Alabama. Returns are In from all but about a dozen coun ties. Governor Jones' majority In the coun ties he haa carrier! aggregate close to 10,000, wtiile Kolb's majority In the counties he lias carried foot up about 13,000, leaving Jones a net majority now of fully 23,000. The counties yet to be heard from will not materially change these llgures. 'The legislature I* also straight demo cratic. The house consists of one hun dred members, anil of these at least sixty regular democratic nominees are elected. The indications are that at least two-third* of the house will be straight democrats or Jones men. The senste contains thirty-three members. Of these sixteen hold over. Returns re ceived so far show that at least ten of the seventeen to be clioeen this year are straight democratic nominees. Kolb is crying fraud, as he has been doing for three years, and there are threats of a double legislature, hut un der the laws of Alabama there I* little chance for Kolb to cause any disturb ance over the result. Bihmixoiiam, Ala., Aug. 3.—Addi tional returns received from back coun ties Increase the majority of Jones and the regular democratic ticket. lout night it looked as low aa ten thousand but now It Is assured thirty thousand or more. The Kolb people aro talking about contests and fraud. They are not Inclined to accept defeat with good grace and trouble may follow. Umih. lira.

The contest has been banted for months past between the Kolb aide and the regular democrat ic ticket rcpieaeated by Jones, thc pres ent governor. Bulletins from many parte of the state up to 12 o'clock shows heavy voting aad a large majority for thc regular demo crats. The negroes In large numbers have voted open Jones tickets. The vote will be the largest ever cut la the state. No disturbance reported so far and the Indications are for a perfectly peaceable election. " A Xlmtrl OflU-lel.
