WE have been requested to ask OF
our friend and neighbor, the talented
editor of the Current, the following
question: "If the Democratic guber-
material convention, i'll its wisdom
or it's folly, should, by two-thirds
majority of the delegates assembled,
nominate Judge Peter Turney as Its
candidate for Governor, will the Cur
rent support the nominee" 1t Is
reported on the streets-we give II
as rumor merely-that the editor
of the Current has recently said that
The had not said" If Brother Gordon
wishes to correct this report, or an
swer the above question, we beg tC
suggest that it is unnecessary to keel
the public in suspense a week by
waiting until the next issue OF the
Current; we cordially extend him the
fraternal courtesy of the columns OF
the HERALD.

TrOtwoOd VS.. the Boy Orator.

EDITOR HERALD:-In your published
interview of yesterday with "the Boy
Orator." (O who came all the way from
nomenal buLlp of Third party precocity
under his last summers hat, we beg all
Alabamians not to be unnecessarily
alarmed or throw up the sponge on ac-
count of the wholesale predictions of
this political freak.
His assertion that "if the election were
to come off tomorrow KOlb would carry
the State by 25,OOO," will cause every
Alabamian who knows the situation
there to smile. 1t is impossible for a
man, who was repudiated in the prima-
ries in the ratio of 400 to 50, and who is
now fast losing the few decent white
votes he did have by going over the
State making incendiary speeches to the
negroes, to carry the State of Alabama
The Republicans, in whose interest Kolt
| is really working, and with him this
twO-by-four refOrmer, had far better
chances years ago of carrying the State
than Kolb ever will have, and yet they
have been dead so long in Alabama as
almost to require the young voter OF
to-day to study the ancient history OF
the State to find out what they really
were!
The weakness of his claims becomes
apparent to all people in the closing re-
marks of his interview, wherein he
claims everything from the bottom OF
.Etna to the center of the dog star fol
his Third party man Weaver.
We trust the managers of the Birming
ham Fair will not let the golden OppOr-
tunity escape them of exhibiting this
political prophet along with their little
Jersey bulls and trOtting dog combina-
ton next fail. But, alas! the fact that
he must come away from home before
he can get his views aired is only an
other illustration of the tyranny of tina
old saw which says, "A prophet is no
without honor save in his own country.

TILE ARSENAL COLONIZATION

The disappointment at the absence
of the distinguished orators from
distance who were to have spoken
at the Arsenal celebration was ma
tural and general. Their failure to
come was due to combination OF un-
fortunate circumstances and was IN
no way the fault of the committees
having the arrangements in charge
Senator Daniel, ex-Goy. Campbell,
Hon. Jas. A. Mckenzie, Hon. John
r.. Fellows and eX-GOv. RObt. l..
Taylor all gave their promises to be
present. The first three were invited
by committee of ten prominent
citizens who went to Chicago for that
purpose. Col. Fellows promise was
secured by Mr. F. d. Lander who
went TO Washington to see him.
Senator Daniel and Hon. John X.
FeAAOws had to decline at the last
moment on account of the. pressure
# their duties at Washington during
he final consideration of the silver
bill, and the closing days of Congress
Unexpected but Imperative bust
ness engagements prevented ex-GoV
Campbell from coming; Mr.. Nc
Kenzie and Gov. Taylor, were con-
fined to their beds with sickness
when the day of the celebration ar
rived. The committees did moi
know until within two or three days
of the occasion but that all these
speakers would be present, and they
expected Gov. Taylor and MIR. Me-
Kenzie until the evening OF the day
before they were to speak.
Every possible effort was made
even then to supply their places, but
il was too late to succeed. The com
mittees did all that mortal men
could do to secure the orators. The
committee did not have the power
to bring them against their will.
In every other respect the celebra'
ton was a grand success. The mill
tary ceremonies attending the flag
raising were the most appropriate
and essential features of the occasion
and never before in the history OF
the county has there been a more
imposing display of this kind.
The crowd in attendance was the
largest that Columbia has seen il
MANY years. There were easily 10,
600 people present. This itself was
inspiring and gave strangers
splendid impression of our town and
county. The grand reception ant
ball at night was the largest ant
most brilliant social event ever hel'
in Tennessee. An able special cor
respondent of the American wa
present and gave perfect and elabo
ate reports of the occasion. Thes
were sent out by the American
through the press associations to al
the great newspapers of the country
giving people everywhere a higl
opinion of us. Such advertisement
is of incaIculable advantage. TIL
money expended was the most valua
BILE investment the town could hav
made; in fact the advertisement wa
of a character that money could no
directly buy.
We have every reason to congratu
late ourselves upon the event, an
should not let the slight disappoint
ment about speakers from distanc
weigh at all against our gratli
cation.
