Letter from Alabama. MOBILE, ALA., Oct. 30thj 1893.
PUB. REVIEW: In a journey from St. LouW to Mobile, Ala., tmbraCing near 700 miles, the traveler passes through.' a great variety of eountry and climate. Hill and dale, forest and stream, good land and poor, tumble down villages and bright, hustling towns pass in grand panoramic view before him. We crossed the Ohio at Cairo, Ills., early in the morning, and one of the neatest things done was to s_eo a large steamboat transport an entire train ot an engine and seven cars to tho Kentucky shore in the space of thirty minutes without the slightest mishap. It was done as smoothly as you would move a skiff across Sugar Creek. Tho Ohio at Cairo is near a mile in width.
The portion of Kentucky through which we passed and most ot Tennessee is not of the best—too sandy in most of it and tpo much clay ground in othere, The farms generally Seorn to have beeti neglected, and the houses of most of them were temporary affairs. Understand this is just as we saw them from rapid transit examination, not close observation. The grand, good lands are from Ocalono, Mississippi, to Mobile. That portion of the land in the handB of skillful agriculturists will yield as well as the Grand Prairie of the Wabash valley.
At Humbolt, Tennessee, we obtained our first view of a field of cotton—the great staple of the sunny South. From the car window it looks at first glance like a large field of white flowers. It grows on stalks from 2 to 3 feet high, there being a dozen pods or more on each stalk. This is the picking season and we noticed large numbers of negro men, women and children in a hundred or more fields engaged at the work of picking the cotton. The view vividly recalls many of the scenes described in "Uncle Tom's Cabin," or other works descriptive of life in the South. The cotton is brought to the cotton gins which are to be found at every station along the line. It is eparated from the seed, put up in 500 pound baleB, then taken to a compressor where the bulk of the bale is reduced to tho space of probably two feet square, and is then shipped to the mille. Cotton on good new land will grow to the heighth of
eight or ten feet, on wornoul land to but two or three feet. Most of the transportation of products of the farm is done by oxen. It looks odd to the northern eye to see so many ox teams. Slow, good natured beasts, you see them in front ot stores or near depots, a cart or wagon behind them, slowly chewing the cud, thinking of their sins probably or wandering what they are going to have for supper. Oxen, as easts of burden, were common in Indiana many years ago, but you rarely see them now.
At Corinth, Mississippi, the junction of the Memphis & Charleston and Mobile & Ohio roads, the visitor can see distinctly the evidences of the late war. Foitifications thrown up by Gen. Beauregard are plainly to be seen only about a half mile west of the business center of town. A national cemetery, clean and well-kept, containing the remains of many thousands of Union soldiers, is situated only three-fourths of a mile south-east of the depot. Tho great battle of Shiloh, April, 1862, was fought only 1G miles north-east of Corinth. Capt. Steve Stilwell, John Clemton, and several other Crawford6ville citizens had pressing business in this town 31 years ago, but they attended to it and then left. Corinth is a beautiful little town of 3.000 inhabitants, was the theater of many important military events of the war, and will always be a place of interest to the traveler, but in a business point of view it is dead, the only manufacturing establishment being a woolen mill. A confederate and a union soldier, both living now in tho north, were on pur train and both were at the seige of
Corinth 31 years ago, and their quaint remarks about the times of long ago, afforded much interest to the passengers.
The very large number of colored people in the South is quick to bo noticed by a northern man. You see them everywhere. Negro farm hands, negro section men, nogro laborers in mills, hotels, stores, etc., is the rule, not the exception. But they are generally well behaved, not saucy nor impudent, and could give many of their northern brethren points on politeness and good behavior. If for no other reason they

to be civil and genteel, they ha*e better health by being so. The South, not the west, is the place for the farmer and fruit raiser to come. Two months of winter, rich black land, sure crops and very healthy. I mean from Ocalona, Mississippi clear down to Mobile, about throe hundred miles. The Mobile & Ohio road has 600,000 acres of this never-failing land to sell and it is Belling it cheap, too. You can get excellent land from $5 to 815 per acre, from a distance of three to ton miles of a station. It is first-class land, too. The trouble in the South haB been simply this: The landB have never been handled by men who knew how. The negroes have done all the plowing and planting, the whites looking on. Such a thing as renewing or clovering lands is ail Greek to them. There are thousands of acres of laads down here that for forty years have never had anything
but cotton plantei upon them. What kind of land would any farmer in Montgomery county have who planted it yearly for forty years in wheat or corn, aid never renewed it? Put such men down here on these lands as Jasper Davidson, John L. Davis or Red Snyder, with the proper implements to work with, and they, in a few years, would create a revolution in agriculture, for they know what to do with lands. But the tide is turning. Emigration instead of going to the cold States of Nebraska and the Dakotas is beginning to move thiB way. Three northern men on the same train we were on have purchased farms down here and will move in a few weeks, while many others are coming down to examine. The Mobile & Ohio railway company extend every facility to explorers, and rates from St. Louis to Mobile and return, with stop-off privileges, are very cheap. You don't have seveu months winter here, hardly ever two, and gras3 remains green ten months in the year. This is just as good wheat and corn land as Montgomery county if you know how to farm. Cotton and grow side by side. Good first-
class land will yield a bale of cotton to the acre, worth now only from $35 to $40 per bale, but the way they have let their lands run down it now requires from 7 to 10 acres to make a bale.
On my way down to the gulf 1 stopped one day at West Point, Miss., the county seat of Clay county. Cotton covers the ground in big bales near the depot, and negroeB with their ox teams were hauling it in all day. The price was 7, 7^c per lb., according to grade. It is a very low price and cotton goods should continue to be cheap for a time. They were holding an election to decide whether to license whisky
Belling
or no.
They voted "dry," although for "medical purposes" only, you could probably get a drink at the drug store, the same as in Indiana.
From seven acres of land a farmer near West Point this jear cleared $1,056 on potatoes, and is now digging up his second crop from the same piece of land. He is a northern man and knows how See! ANew York resident who came here a few years ago, this season received $2,000 from the Bale of strawberries from five acres. See again! Good juicy sweet potatoes were selling in West Point the day we were there for 30 and 35 cents per bushel. They were $1.50 in Crawfordsville last week. Figs, pecan nuts, pea nutB, are indiginous to this soil and can be easily raised, while pears, cabbages, etc., are plentifully produced. There are two public artesian wells at West Point, each over 80# feet deep. One would think that water coming from that depth would be cold, but it is not at all, and about all we could object to the pleasant little city is its water supply. By jove! these southern people are clever and you can not help but like them. Fully as sociable as us Hoosiers, they are always ready to furnish information sought, and will go out of the way to accommodate you.
They don't care for your politics if you area gentleman. They want you to come down and settle, be with them and of them. The peculiar thing to bo noticed of those to the manor born is their pronunciation of any word having the letter "r" in it. They bring it out as broad as a board, and men women and children all give the letter "r" special prominence—in our opinion.
And here we are in Mobile, one of those old time cities of the South, of many historic associations and of note from the early days of the country. Mobile is situated on the north-west bank of Mobile Bay, some fifty miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and is credited with a population of near 50,000 inhabitants. The city for some years has not been very progressive. Scores of the business houses wore constructed 75 or more years ago, and few new ones have been erected for a long time. There are but four or five improved streets, the rest remain just as originally opened with no effort to gravel, or mackadamize thena. It has, however, considerable trade in lumber, cotton and other products. It has a good electric light plant, and street cars run out for five or six miles in various directions. Its people are hospitable, and tho city something of a winter resort. The climate is pleasant, the breezes from the gulf cheering and health giving. Magnolia trees with their long, oily looking leaveB ornament tho sidewalks, the bright and variagated colors from numerous japoniers, tube roses, geraniums. chrysan themu ms, grace the lawns of many residences, furnishing a &cene of rare beauty, but quite common here. Occasionally a yard is seen in which is growing the toothsome banana and sweet orange, as both can be easily cultivated.
This afternoon while roaming near the bay in the lower part of Mobile wo came across a large number of oak trees from which were hanging vast quanti ties of what the natives term "moss,' others "sea grass." It is in long fringes covering some trees all over. It pre sents a very odd appearance indeed. The moBS is said, after undergoing, a purify ing process, to make excellent filling for mattresses, fully as good as "excelsior. It rarely forms on any tree but oak, and that tree is not one-fourth us large as the Montgomery county product.
Among the historic characters of the late confederacy, few stand out more prominently than Admiral Semmes, ot the confederate nary. He destroyed more property and made more captures
of Federal merchant vessels than any four other men they possessed, He almost always managed to escape, too. Mobile was the Admiral's home and here in the cemetery rests his remains after life's fitful fever was over. He is described as a small man in size and of a very homely countenance, but shrewd in everything. After the war he practiced law here until his death

or more years ago, His only son is a judge in one of the courts here. A partially constructed monument to the memory of the Admiral stands at the junction of two of the principal streets here—money run out and they could not finish it.
We always aim to visit the public markets of any city, and wo did not except Mobile. We were at their fish market this morning, and the sight and size of the fish was a revelation. The Sheephead, Flounder, Red Snapper Trout and Black Bass were a few of the varieties»-all caught in the bay near by with sein and spear. It is a pleasant sight. Oysters are obtained from a point fifteen miles south of the city—not so large as the Baltimore product, but fully as rich in flavor.
Our bill of faro for breakfast this morning was fried bay oyBters, trout, snipe and o^her luxuries. Rather rich for a country newspaper publisher, but then it is so rare that there is not much danger of it becoming contageous.
This is enough for the present.

Six Years in Bed from Neruous Prostration. HAUTKOIID CITY, ind., June 8,1893. —Dear Gents:—1 received a letter from you May 27, stating that you had heard of my wonderful recovery from a spell of sickness of six years duration through the use of South American Nervine and asking for my testimonial. I will gladly state how I was delivered from my extreme pain and suffering. I was perfectly prostrated and helpless for six long years, could not rise from my bed, stand upon my feet nor walk, was treated by many of the best physicians for many miles around and all agreed that I would never leave my bed. At last I lost the use of my body and had to be lifted like a child. A part of the time I could read a little and one day I saw your adveriisement in a paper and concluded to try one bottle. Its effects were wonderful iu relieving restlessness and pain. I soon could rise from my bed and take a few steps by being held. After I had taken five bottles I was strong and well and able to be out canvassing for foreign missions. My friends could scarcely believe that it was me, I am sure South American Nervine is the best medicine in the world. It was a God send to me and I belieye it saved my life.
