x ], 1895.
The Street and Water Board candi-
dates are moi running against each other
IN solid blocks this election as the AS
semblymen were last fall. They are d.
vided up into classes according to the
length of the term which they are nomi-
mated to serve. One candidate is nomi-
mated by each party to serve three years,
two to serve two years and two to serve
one year. The ballots will be printed that
way, and so the three-year Democrat
will be opposed only to the three-year
Republican,; the two two-year Demo-
Gratis to the two two-year Republicans,
and the two one-year Democrats to the
two one-year Republicans.
Here is the way the nominations stand
according to the terms:-
DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Three y-ears:-Daniel Y. Lewis.
Two years:-Stephen l.. Harvey.
Edward Van Houten.
One year:-Charles Bo1twood,
DR.. Mortimer Lampson.
REPUBLICAN TICKET.
Three years:-Richard Brown.
Two years:-John C. Kaiser,
George w. Harding.
One year:-William H. Hooker.
George R. Patterson.
Thus the candidates of the two par
ties. are opposed to each other in the fol-
lowing fashion,
Lewis against Brown
Harvey sSI Kaiser
and against isl ana
| Van Houten AZ Harding
Boltwood Hooker

Replying to Mr.. Patton, he said in
1879 he was u member of the Legislu-
ture with Col. Sloan and called upon
him to say whether the black phalanx
in that body did not rally under Mem
mlngcr to establish financial reform
He referred to the thirty negro NOM
bers OF the Legislature in 1876, who
came to the rescue Of those white
members bent on financial reform, but
who would have failed but for that
negro vote.
Miller went on to laud tho Republi-
can party, when Maj. Barker raised q
point of order that the question at
issue was not the relative merits Of the
Republican party. The chair ruled
that the point was we'll taken, but at
Miller's earnest request he was in
that the negro was now fully COM
petent to exercise the right OF suf
frage and closed by denying that he
had any intention whatever Of SANDER
ing the State.
The chair was about to put tho vote
on the substitute when Mr.. Patton
moved that further debate on it be
adjourned. He said he did this be-
cause Il number of members had told
him that they had not given the bill
that careful study that it deserved,
because tho amendment HAD never
been printed except in the journal OF
the fifth day. He said that under the
plan adopted by the convention of not
printing these amendments in bill
form the members could not possibly
give them that study and considcra-
tion which they deserved. Ho thought
members should be given an opportu-
nifty to look into it before they voted
Senator Tillman said the committee
can't be accused of being illibcral in
giving every one a chance TO speak
and he announced his intention to call
the previous question tomorrow some
time, and he asked that all members
who have q plan or any amendm cnts
or substitutes to offer, to offer them to-
night SO that they could be printed.
Mr.. w. ID. Evans said he didn't think
the chairman ought to call the previ-
Gus question. This was most impor-
tant question and debate should not
be limited. The people Of the State
as we'll as members Of the convention
would demand that this subject should
be debated rs fully and as freely as
other subjects.
Senator Tillman replied that it was
not his intention to cut OF debate, but
to facilitate matters and keep the plan
from being fought from unexpected
quarters and keep the debate up a
week or more.

He Gave It Away.

A few years ago prominent oil produo- CT of Pittsburg was putting down well in a territory that had neTer been tested for oil. He was keeping the fact pro found secret. in order that, in case he got a good well, he might without difficulty secure all the leases he desired in the yicin- ity He was on the ground himself, watching with great interest the indica- tions. Everything pointed to success. Two days before the well was expected to "oome in, he was called home Anxious about the result, he arranged with his con tractor to telegraph him as soon as the drill reached the sand. He knew, how ever, that secrets will sometimes leak out of telegraph office, and so he told the driller that the sentence, "Pine trees grow tall, |" would mean that he had struck oil. The driller promised to do as he was or dered. The mingled satisfaction and vex- ation of the producer may be imagined when, two days later, he received the fol- lowing telegram: "Pine trees grow tall. She's squirting clean over the derrick l" His hope that he should have no competi- tors for leases was disappointed naut.

THE "New" COUPLE.

 She was thew" and was constructed on the latest modern plan, But she lost her heart, like others, and of course twas lost to man, So at last the two were married, and they started married life, As they thought, equipped and ready, well prepared for any strife. Sbe was posted on his business quite as thor oughly as he. She had studied all the details, and, as any one could see, She could run the shop or ofIice and it also seemed quite clear She could act as his boolSkeeper or could serve as his cashier. She could sell goods on commission or could buy on thirty days. She was sharper than most merchants in all proper business ways. She could "take" from his dietation and dic' tate to others too. There was nothing round the office that she really couldn't do So they thought they were well armored for life of great success, But the outcome of their trial was failure, more or less. They are doomed to boarding houses, and re- gretfully they roam. For while both can run the office neither one can make home.

An Original Witness.


 Some time since in southwest Georgia a murder case was being tried before a certain judge. The states attorneys had seen the shooting, and they had an old ne- gro on the witness stand. The negro be- came intensely interested in the story he was telling His big eyes were fixed upon the lawyer who was questioning him, and he seemed to think there was no other per son in the room. He was trembling with excitement, so much so that he stammered, and he told his story as if he was having strictly private and confidential conversa- tion with the states attorney.
 And 'en, boss, he said in solemn and awestruck tones, "j-j-jes ez war a-comin roun de cornah, sah, I seen him long O de lamppos'. I"-
 ''What time was thisP" asked the judge The witness paused just for second as if something had disturbed him, but then without turning his head, he went on:
 "J-j Lies as war a-oomin roun de cor nah, boss, I seen him long O dc lamp pos'. I''--
 The judge rapped the desk before him smartly with his gavel.
 "Stoplh he said "The court is asking you question. At what time did you come around tho corner?''
 Again the witness stopped and made
 
 motion with his hand as if he was brush ing away fly from his ear, but he never turned around, and again started to tell his story:
 "Ez I wuz a-sayin, boss, I rounded dat dah cornah, an I seen him long O de''- The judge brought his mallet down with noise which almost caused the witness to leap off the stand, and roared out;
 "What do you mean, sir? If you do not answer my question instantly, shall com init youi''
 The witness turned, faced the court and said in deprccating tones:
 "L-l-look CT yere boss, doan you see I'm talkin to dis en'lmanP"
 The lawyers were almost convulsed with laughter, the judge bent his head and shook with merriment, and the witness was allowed to finish his story undis- turbed. "A tlanta Constitution.

The car has seating capacity Of about seventy and every seat was occu- pied.- The car left Fourteenth avenue, south. and Twentieth street at o'clock and made the run from there to Jones' vile, thence to Elyton and to Fourteenth avenue, south. Leaving the car the par ty proceeded to Red mountain, where pleasa dance was had and light re- treatments served. The novelty of the affair added much to the pleasure of the occasion and but for the drizzling rain that fell during a part of the evening nothing occurred to detract from its in- terest, The party was composed of some of Birmingham's loveliest and most pop ular young people, who devoted their whole evening to having good time. l..

Precaufiou.

"In taking this albuminate of iron," continued the physician as he prescribed for a fnir patient, ''you must be careful not to get it on your teeth.''
 "Why sof" she inquired with mild sur prise.
 Because it will decay them. Some take iron in capsules, but 1 think by taking it through a straw you can keep it from get ting on your teeth'
 "Well, now, doctor, suppose I should leave my teeth up stairs while I take the iron in tho kitchen, do you think there would be any danger?"
 "Well-cr-no. l think that would be q reasonable precaution. San Francisco Post
