DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT IN ALA
BAMA.
Oatre Wins tbe Fight and Will Be
Governor—The Legislature
Democratic.
Allabama gives Oates, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, at least 20,000
majoaity in yesterday’s election, and the
legislature will be Democratic. It seems
that fears ot trouble at the polls, were
unfounded, and the election was very
quiet throughout the State.
The indications are that the vote
throughout the State has been very large.
The excitement has been high and
3[»eeches have been made in every
ing precinct in the state. The opposi
tion party, headed by Reuben Kolb, has 1
been carrying on an active canvass since
tbe August eleceion in 1892, and the
Democratic speaking canvass commenc
ed last January, when Col. Oates and
other candidates for nomination took the
stump. Since the convention was held
in May and the ticket selected an im
mense number of speakers have been go
ing day and night. A prominent leader
of the opposition stated yesterday that
now as the day of election had come, he
did not object to saying that his side
conceded that Col. Oates would have the
popular majority, and that, they had
been bending their efforts recently
toward capturing the legislature, and he
expressed the belief that they would suc
ceed.
It was the first trial of the new elec
tion law modeled after the Australian
system and worked well. Chairman
Tompkins, of the Democratic executive
committee, thinks that the Democratic
majority will be 35,000. Jefferson coun
ty was the seat of war, and though the
Democrats lost heavily, they carried the
county by 500 or 1,000 majority, i
Georgia Democrats are rejoicing ’with

Chinese Weapons of War.
If the conflict between Japan and
China develops into a war by both land
and sea, the stauggle will undoubtedly
he a bloody one.
China’s swarming millions can j
nothing over the smaller forces of the
alert and quick-witted Japanese ir*
maritime contest, and the main hope of
the slow-moving Celestials is to pour
their troops upon their opponents by
land. There the tactics of the Chinese
would be to gradually wear out their
enemy, cither by their superior forces or
by methods of warfare that are condemn
ed by civilized Nations. In previous
struggles the soldiers of China have not
scrupled to invade the enemy’s country
and defeat them by poisoning wells and
streams and devastating the growing
crops. The’r progress towards civilized
methods of making war has not been
very rapid during the last few centuries,
and it is safe to assume that in the
present conflict they would not hesitate
to use dynamite and all the devilish
contrivances of their inventive gunpow-
Her schemes*. The “lo yok lo,” or hand
grenades, which were used by the Chi
nese war junks in the past, are described
as the most terrible weapons known to
man. The smell from them is so horri
ble and so suffocating that no one can
withstand them, and when they explode
it is said they often set the ships on fire
and tear the skin from the bodies of the
men on board. It is one of the deadliest
weapons used in Chinese warfare, and it
is quite probable that a race that has
used these “stinkpots’* in the past will
take great pleasure in hurling them up
on the Japs in the present war.—Hous

Daniel Webster said: “One may
live as a conqueror, a king or a mag

Who is The Farmer !
take the following fromthe Public
•Spirits, a paper published at Cocoa, on
Indian River, Fla. The Herald would
like very much to learn the name of
the farmer who lives near NVaycross,
and makes such excellent syrup from
cornstalks. Here is the story:
CORNSTALK MOLASSES.
A farmer who lives near Wavcross,
Ga., tells an interesting story of his ex
periment in making cornstalk molasses.
He says: “I planted two acres of
rich land in corn about April 1, last
year, fertilizing it heavily with home
made compost twice during its after
growth, which, of course, made Ihrge
and heavy stalks and ears, full of sweet
juice, like the juice from the old China
or sorghum cane.
‘•I did not plant it with that inten
tion, but after observing this I immedi
ately pulled the corn ears whiie green
and slipped them in barrels to Boston,
which alone dopbly paid my expenses of
planting, fertilizing and gatherinj
then pulled the blades oft* leaving them
on the ground to be plowed under and
hastily proceeded to cut down the
stalks, cut off the tops and haul to my
furnace.
“I ground the stalks to pieces and
boiled them as I do sugar cane—about
three hours with a moderately hot fire
under the boiler, which held 80 gallons.
It produced after the process was over 9
gallons of the whitest, purest and most
fragrant syrup that I have ever tasted.
It was thick and full of sweetness, and
did not have the burning belonging to i
sorghum and sugar cane molasses. Gran-1
ulated sugar could not he melted and .
made into clearer syrup than this. j
There are many advadages in grind- \
ing cornstalks over that of sugar cane. |
Using the. old-fashioned roller mill, 1
filled it with fibe or six sticks at once,
and one small pony pulled them through J
with no strain at all. The two acres i
made three barrels of the syrup of. which j
I speak, and it was not necessary for mr. J
to ship it in order to dispose of it, ns j
two barrels retailed at $1 a gallon right j
here in this county, and I cotild have i
sold much more at the same price if I
had made it. This year I have planted
20 acres, and I shall go through the
What is Life.
What is life ?” some one asked Man-
ford. and he beautifully repli^: “The
present life is sleeping and waking; it is
‘good night’ ongoing to bed, and ‘good
morning’ on getti<% up; it is to wonder
what the day will bring forth ; it is rain
on the window as one sits by the fire; it
is to walk in the garden and see the
flowers and hear the birds sing; it is to
have news from the East, West, North
and South; it is to see pictures am\
hear music; it ts to have Sundays ; it is
to pray with a family morning and
evening; it is to set in twilight and
meditate ; it is to have bereakfast, din
ner and tea; it is to belong to a town
and have neighbors, and to become one
in a circle of acquaintances; it is to
have friends and love; it is to have
sight of dear old faces, and with some
men it is to he kissed by the same lov
ing lips for years, and it is to know
themselves thought of many times a
day, in many places by children, grand
children and many friends.”
An Old Superstition.
The following is an old superstition of
colors which is often considered in she
selection of a wedding dress :
Married in white,
You have chosen aright;
Married in gray,
You will go far away ;
Married in black,
You will wish yourself hack ;
Married in red,
You will wish yourself dead ;
Married in green,
Ashamed to be seen ;
Harriet! in blue,
You will always he true ;
Married in pearl,
You will live in a whirl ; »
Married in yellow,
Ashamed of the fellow ;
Married in brown,
You will live out of town ;
Married in pink, | •
Your spirits s ill sink.
They Will.

The Deacon’s Doubt.
Some one came past deacon Pod ber
ry’s the other night about ten o’clock
aud was surprised to find that good man
carefully examining his wood pile.
“What are you looking for?” asked the
passer-by.
“Just examining this load of wood to
see if it was all right,” answered the
good man. “I bought it from brother
Brown yesterday, and to-night in prayer-
meeting he called himself so many kinds
of a miserable sinner that I thought, .. TT . ,
maybe it was. the quality pf this load of of lynching in the United States has
wood which was weighing on his mind.”
'Mr. Russell will not desert his post
while tariff and other important legisla
tion is pending. He is in Washington
battling tor pure Democratic legislation,
iind the people of tbe Second district
will see to it that his colors do not trail
in the dust. A man whe fearlessly per
forms his duty, aud at personal sacrifice,
is to he commended, not condemned.
Beh Russell has made a faithful repre
sentative. He has ’ been true to every
trust confided tv his keeping, and the
people will reward him. No man in the
district has superior claims to his. No
one.—Thomasville Times.
