Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1895-10-06

Selma: Politics are dead for the time
being. The attention of the public is
now directed to business.
The Prattville Progress thinks Judge
Caffee will be forinidable: Judge A. E.
Caffee of Lowndes county will be one
of the most formidable candidates before
the next democratic state convention for
auditor.
Says the Monroe Journal: AS between
high tariff democrat and a free silver
democrat we had rather see the party in
Alabama nominate the free silver man
for Governor.-Greensbor Waterman.
Brother Yerby is coming around Shake,
old fel.
The Alexander City Outlook suggests
the organization of the East Alabama
Press association: THE East Alabama
press should form an association. 1t
would no doubt be of benefit. Our inter
ests would be better protected. What
say the boys?
Says the Selma Journal: A telegram
reached the city last night announcing
the fact that Mr. James H. Nunnelee had
accepted the position of business man
ager of the Birmingham State Herald
He will probably continue to do the ed
itorial work of the Times.
State Herald compliments:
with It's corps of heavy editors ana
reporters and other attaches from the
business office on the ground floor to the
editorial rooms above, the Birmingham
State Herald ought to be the best ed
tied paper in Alabama. There Is no
newspaper so well equipped for getting
out live and progressive newspaper as
is the State Herald"

catches the euphony from affair." What
the name would be seems to have been
generally understood, though never
agreed upon until a few hours before
the first paper was printed: 1t is said
that negotiations are under way looking
to the purchase of the Birmingham Age
Herald by the owners of the state. II
Che sale is made the consolidation will be
called the State Herald.
The Mobile News is quite right in its
following essay on moving. By way of
parenthess will state that we have just
moved into the Age-Herald's old quar-
terS:
tThe chief end of man seems to be to
move We move from house to house.
We ride. run and walk. We move the
ore and coal from the mountain to the
furnace. We send the iron to the north
and bring it back. We send the cotton
east and bring back the cloth. We move
the coal from the mine to the cellar and
from the cellar to the CRATE. 1t Is NOV
ing, moving, moving. Life Is moving.
Death is rest
The Wetumpka Advocate will not have
it that Senator Goodwin is responsible
for what appears in that paper. That
he seems bent on destroying the popu-
list party. 1t says
s"The Reform Advocate desires 1t dis
tinctly understood that Senator Goodwin
Is in no way responsible for anything
that appears in this paper. Senator Good
wyn's views are frequently at variance
with the course pursued by this paper,
and 1t is unfair to him to hold him re-
sponsible for what this paper says or
does. The Reform Advocate thinks Sen
ator Goodwin entirely too much in
clned to trust men who are bent on the
destruction of the populist party of Ala
bama."
The Fayette Sentinel intimates To its
readers that it is the best policy to keep
on good terms with the newspaper: II
pays to keep on the right side OF all
newspaper men. Every newspaper treas
rres up in it's memory the names OF Its
friends and likewise its enemies. 1t new
err oyerlooxs an opportunity to assist the
former, but never goes out OF the way to
aid the latter. Human nature is the
same everywhere. People who show a
newspaper man kindness never make 4
better investment. or one that more sure
" repays them hundred fold sooner or
later AS has been truly said, There
occasionally comes a time in the life or
every man when a word said by news
paper either makes or unmakes the in
dividual mentioned"
