Some people seem to regret very
much that Harris and Atkins are
petted against each other for the
United States senate and can't
make a choice between two such
able tried and true democrats.
They are both worthy of the posi-
ton and either would make an able
senator but they are not the only
men in the state who are perfectly
competent to fill the position.
Those who cannot decide between
these two have a whole state full OF
men who might possibly, if they
had trial, satisfy the people az
their senator. The salvation OF the
state or the party does not depend
upon any one or two men. The
people would do we'll to select either
of these statesmen but, not COMPEL
ed to do so,

STRUCK 1T RICH.

As stated yesterday Col. J. D. Hous-
ton, one of our most highly respected
citizens, was the lucky holder of one
twentieth of ticket Il ,67S that drew the
second capital prize in The Louisiana
Col. Houston found himself compare
lively rich he left the Valley on an i'm
pOrtant business mission and has Just
returned.
Yesterday afternoon a Sentinel re-
porter had the following interview with
the colonel shortly after returning from
Little Rock:
sI heard you were the fortunate
holder of one-twentieth of ticket II ,67s
that drew 500, 900 in the June drawing
of The Louisiana State Lottery?"
GA word explanatory. When 1 de-
posted the ticket for collection with
the cashier of the Hot Springs Valley
bank OF this city, MIR. Rapley, espe-
cially cautioned against publicity of the
matter, as deprecated an Ostentatious
parade of my name Herewith in print.
Not that from an exemplary standpoint
l attached even the suspicion of moral
criminality to the act, but the notoriety
it would give me would be in the high
est degree offensive to me. 1t is due to
the officers of the Valley bank to state
that the affair leaked out in New Or
leans, such is the systematic order of
the institution, it is almost impossible
for the holder of ticket to escape re-
cognition. The ticket was promptly
forwarded, the return [$5,OO0j was re-
ceived without any delay whatever, and
placed to my credit in the Hot Springs
Valley bank of this city"
SIS this your first win ?"
81 have regularly invested small
amounts for several years, winning at
different times sums ranging from IS to
$500, some of which have been cashed
by the Hot Springs Valley bank. In
examination of my book, which / keep
in this business, find myself ahead on
the May drawing over the duration

ing WHICH was cashed on presentation
to the Valley bank. 1t is quite unne-
cessary for me to state that 1 have the
most absolute faith in the spotless hon
or of Gems. Beauregard and Early, as
well as profound respect for them per-
sOnally, and that my success has in no
manner enhanced an opinion that al
ready reached the confines of respect
and confidence. have reluctantly con-
sented to this interview, you may state,
but as the affair has assumed signifi-
canoe, 1 have struck my colors and
yielded to this reportorial crucifxion."

behold Birmingham, the magic city,
,prang into being, and Bessemer and
Gadsden and Talledega and Annis-
ton (called Romance of the New
South" were founded or rebuilt and
are thriving; and the contagion
spread north, and behold Decatur
and Sheffield folio we'd in the race
of rapid development, and Florence
doomed her Sunday clothes, and
Iron City emerged from chaos. And
all the towns and hamlets and COM
munities and neighborhoods pros
pered and bloomed like a rose.
What are the railroads doing now?
As sure as you and I are alive, dear
reader, Decatur is to be the central
railroad metropolis of this section.
The roads are already there and
under contract, and her river facill-
ties and her natural advantages in
location with respect to the things
that are making the riches that are
overwhelming the south, together
with her shipping facilities, inevlta-
bly, point her out as the place par
excellence for the central railroad
conveyance.
How goes it with Decatur, you
say? Her factories and shops are
running on full time, those that
have started their wheels, and there
is general brushing up and max
ing ready for the fall races. The
fliers will be there this fall and the
books will be reopened and there
will be big "events." This hot,
dry, stagnant. tanning season is
trying upon all kinds of industrial
enterprises everywhere. For years
past the figures show that three
fourths of the railroads built in any
year are built in the last half, and
it is so of all manner of enterprises
that capital undertakes. That is bel
season, just as the hot months are
the farmers season. Already there
/ is a strong tendency up with stocks
Sundays American had the stock
bear up tree cringing out of reach
Of the rampant bull, snortlng and
paving, with head and tail up
Stocks were booming all along the
line.
/ We may calculate on ups anG
downs, vascillation activity, unit
summer is ended and the election II
over. Presidential years, somehow
or other, always throw damper or
business energy. and there is al
sure to be raging reaction wher
the "Ides of November" have ided
and gone as that fever follows {
chill.
/ Decatur will boom then and W.
are glad to believe it, for there il
where Giles county comes in. Tha
will be our closest market, and ours
will be her richest resource. 1t viii

A man who studies the times an(
the philosophy of events and fails
to come to these conclusions is dull
of apprehension indeed.
