Montgomeky,' Ala., July 8 A gang of -slick swindlers have recently taught some citizens of Escambia county, Ala., a good moral lesson. One of the swindlers came among some of the farmers who had cashed in their crops and exhibited specimens of counterfeit money which are said to have been finely executed and explained that he would iuruish $100 of it for $10 and in like proportion up to $10,000. r , A number, of residents bit at the snare, got together something less than 1,000 and selected one of their number to go to Chattanooga with the iakir to deliver' the. ' money -and secure the bad. The swindler carried his idupe up the steps" into a tall building, knocked at a door and bade him remain outside until ,he ' entered, exchanged money ami re turned. The poor fellow tarried at the door way for an hour or two and upon inves tigation learned that the hunctimau had proceeded down the rear steps with the good money-of the poor Alabama vic- lins and was gone.

Two Hundred Tim tis.i nd ti! oiis Already Confiscated. TA, July; 8. It is announced gricultural department that 1,000 gallons of illuminating leen confiscated in Georgia as the order of Commissioner irecting inspectors throughout to seize all Supplies that fail to to' the standard by law. 'his action is taken to indicate that fight on 'illegal and dangerous oils. which the report of State Chemist Mc Caudless showed abounds in the state, is on in dead earnest. In eight cities in Georgia, the names of which are withheld by the officials, large supplies; of oil have been tested re cently and found to burn at a point be low the limit of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, below which oils are declared dangerous and illegal by; the law of the state. Lkxington', Ky., July 11. The can didates are all here for the Republican state convention tomorrow. Theyopenedl their respective headquarters today to meet th$ early arrivals of delegates. So far-as the governorship is concerned, there is no contest, as Attorney Gen eral W. S. Taylor has more votes pledged than are necessary to nominate. Colonel Stone and Judge Pratt are still working, but confess that they are in the minority. They are now working with a view to defeating Taylor,' rather than with any expectation for victory themselves. The Stone and Pratt men are not pull ing together harmoniously even in op position to Taylor, as they accuse each other of .weaKuess in many counties. - If any formidable opoositiou to . Tavlor is organized it is likely to be in the inter! est of a dark horsa. The opponents of Taylor say that he is in the same class as William Goebel, the Democratic iiom inee for governor; that his ' methods have been such that the Democrats who dislike Goebel will not support Taylor! while they would support some KepubL licau who has not been identified wall any cliche. It is a":so charged that there are 65,000 nearo voters who will not support Taylor; T Every possible objection is being raised today against Taylor, but- the.e attacks do not seem to affect the dele gates. Most of the delegates will arrive tomorrow, but such as are here today flock to the headtjnarters of Tavlo", whilSs Colonel Stone and Judge Pratt are not disturbed "much bv callers. For' the most part they are flocking all by themselves. 1 " Senator Deboe is openly championing the cause of Taylor. He is not iftily the central iigurS at Taylor's headquarters, but also in his counsels. They. dine to gether, walk about together and the delegates say they sleep together. Neither Deboe or Taylor seems to be disturbed in the least about the attacks of their opponents, who say that Taylor has not only used his state patronage, but also had all patronage under Sena tor Deboe in his interest. It is charged that all the places in the federal census, as well as the-prospective, patronage un der Taylor, has been parceled out. The opponents ! of Taylor called on him and Senator Deboe late last night, again begging them to name soraeother man for governor, but they will not en-, tertain such a proposition for a moment). They insist that none of the charces are well grounded, that the disaffection will blow over after the convention, that they have made the race in good faithi and do not intend to be scared out of the results of their successful canvass.
