THIS IS SUGGESTIVE.

The State papers continue to speak warmly for General Pettus for United States Senator.-Birmingh ham State.
 Why, General Pettus would be dead be- fore he found out where he was "at" if he were sent to the Senate. North Ala bama does not want anyone who has his cow-catcher on his caboose instead of his engine. We recall a speech made by General PettuS here a year or two ago. It was all about the War-reconstruc- tion-carpetbagger and things which oc- cured thirty years ago. We want men who live in the future, and not in the past. We have great admiration for General PettuS as an able lawyer and excellent citizen. Senator Pugh the chairman of the judiciary committee of the Senate is good enough for North Ala bama, and we tell you right now, If you want your little man, Joe Johnston, mashed into a batter cake, you go to showing signs of coquetting with Frank PettuS. indicate that you are trying to make a trade to get Frank out of John stOn's way by sending General Pettus to the Senate. and Joe Johnston won't know with what to hit him. Our people are for Senator Pugh, and we would not give one Senator's vote on the silver question for seventy-five little governors.-Hu vile Tribune.
 To a man up tree the above indi- cates that Bobby of the house of Wat kns is getting in his work. Robert is good at playing for even. Well. the ap- plication of the old adage is not amiss just here. The plum Frank Pettus was anxious to punch still clings to the tree.

SNOW HILL MERCHANTS

 Boycott.

Applaud the Railroad and Denounce the Boycott
 To the Age-Herald:
 At a meeting held this 18th day of September at Snow Hill Ala, by the re- tail merchants and consumers to pro- test against the boycott of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad company
 by the Southern Wholesale Grocers' as sociaton, W. G. Simpson was called to the chair and E. Hobdy, secretary. The
 following resolutions were adopted
 Having learned through the public
 press that the Southern Wholesale Gro cers' association have boycotted the
 Louisville and Nashville Railroad com
 pany for refusing to concede to their demands to raise the rates of freight on their lines from 15 to 20 per cent thereby forcing the retail merchants and con sumerS to be dictated to by the South
 ern Wholesale Grocers' association. This demand on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company to raise the rates of freight is on the necessaries of life, flour,
 meat, sugar, coffee molasses, etc. com modties that affect all consumers and Whereas. After due consideration, we have come to the conclusion that the fight is not so much against the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad company as it is against the retail merchants and consumers, as we know that railroads in general do not object to the raising of freight upon their lines whenever 1t is consistent with their interest to do So And we heartily congratulate and extend to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company our many thanks for standing to our interest in this fight, and We unan- imously protest and condemn this boy colt against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company by the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association, and we ask the cooperation of all the retail mer- chants and consumers in the south to
 come forward and. through the press, condemen and protest against this fight made against us by the Southern Whole sale Grocers' association boycottng the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com
 pany for trying to give equal rights to all, and special privileges to none." Resolved, That copy of these proceed ings be sent to our county papers, the Montgomery Advertiser. Montgomery Journal. Birmingham Age-Herald. Mo bile Register and Selma Times. and we also kindly ask all papers in the south that are opposed to this unjust boycott ting against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company to print the same. w.

applied art in this country will be indi- cated by the exhibits from schools of de- sign and industrial schools, notably those of Philadelphia. The work of women in ceramics is said to be of uncommon beauty, and the progress shown in this field is very great.
 An interesting fact is noted that the best work does not come from the large cities, but from smaller cities and towns in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa. The wo- men in these out of the way places run their own kilns, and natural gas is a great improvement on other fuels. Many women have invented new mechanismS and processes for working the clay for modelling stiffening, glazing and reglaz- ing. The skill shown in the color is note worthy, and many less well known meth ods of decoration have been developed With great success. In contrast with the work of America in this century is shown some of the pottery made by Indian wo- men centuries ago. A collection of pho tographs will illustrate the fine work of Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson as curator of the Egyptian section of the department of archaeology in the University of Penn sylvania.

For upward of forty years-from 1857 to 1S92-the Associated Press was com- posed of those journals which received their news directly, or through auXll- iary associations, from the pioneer organ iZation, the New York Associated Press
 In 1882 the United Press was formed it's papers being the Boston Globe, Chi cago Herald, Pittsburg Leader, Brook lyn Times and some 100 others. In 1892 the New York Associated Press was con- solidated with the United Press, and the New York Herald, Tribune, Sun, Times, Journal of Commerce, Mail and Express, etc. then became the prominent factors in the United Press.
 This combina ton has with it the South ern Associated Press; the Associated Press of the state of New York; the New Engl Associated Press; the pioneer press organization of Canada conducted by the Great Northwestern Telegraph company, and various other organiza- tions most of which had been allied with the New York Associated Press for more than thirty years. This combina- tion is the genuine article and the Age Herald is a part of it.
 The so-called Associated Press" is a Chicago enterprise, with a scattered fol- lowing in various parts of the country. It is a spurious organization which came into existence in 1892 Its record of blum ders and inventions during it's career was becomingly perpetuated by its an- nouncement that the Valkyrie had de- feated the Defender in the first of the international yacht races.

cULBERsoN. JIM AND BOB.

If the friends of prize fighting hap pen to have representatives in the Texas Legislature. then the Lone Star States good looking young Governor is pretty apt to find himself in a hole. After great deal of thought, more talk and un- limited criticism he has at last decided to call the Legislature to hold an extra session for the avowed purpose of enact ing law to prevent prize fighting with in the lines of the State. The date he has named Is October 1, and the great rbett-Fitzsimmons mill is set for the 31st of the same month. The cost of the extra session may not be under $25,O00, certainly will reach $2000O, as much thereafter as the length of the session demands.
 Governor Culberson made his mistake when he took up so much time in talk. He made the assertion that he would go to Dallas at the head of the State troops to prevent what the highest legal author ity in the State had declared to be not against the law. This proposition met with such chilling lack of response that he speedily abandoned that course and decided if no such law existed, Texas could have one in comparatively short order. The last meeting of the Ieglsla- ture is the one with which the Texans have a quarrel. A law was enacted then which was thought to cover the ground, but the lawyers easily knocked 1t as senseless as MT" Corbett says he will knock MT" Fitzsimmons.
 It may take some time to put the pro- posed measure through. There may be some members who would like to sec the fight, and if they can do so, the matter can be made to lag until pushing up the date of the fight for few days will shat ter the Governors project into very mi mute pieces.
 The eyes of the world are now on Texas, and they are very approving eyes. too. We have had enough of the alleged manly" art and the sort of gents it renders possible. Probably no men in the world are watching the issue as closely as James and Robert. Neither of them want to fight, and if the law will only save them the newspapers will do the rest. Their most satisfactory battles are fought then.

She had asked some questions abou. you ode Americans" and she had asked them with an amount of insolence that is possi- ble to only well-bred women It is prob able that she believed his assertion re- garding his arboreal dwelling. English ideas of Amercian life are curiously mixed, as the following extract from London telegram will show:
 Many protests, more or less serious, are appearing in the newspapers of London on the depletion of the ranks of eligible noblemen by marriage with American women. In connection with the Marl borough Vanderbilt engagement, Truth prints an amusing letter signed 'Dowa- ger Duchess" in which the writer says that she has converted her home into a judicious combination music hall, bur lesque stage, gambling rooms and club and has her daughter instructed in the most seductive steps and highest kick They have been. she says, encouraged to sing the broadest songs and no re- straint whatever has been attempted on their conversation. They have dined at all the fashionable restaurants and sat almost beside the most notorious women of the town, yet eligible men persist in marrying either actresses or Americans. Truth says that men like good women and they like bad women but few, except fools, like a combination of the two char acters, besides with the pace set here for wealth. above every other consideration, there is no wonder that the men of today have no greater ambition than to at tain 1t.
 Perhaps the reason for the English preference for actresses and Americans may be not hard to find. most cogent reason is embodied in the very words of the "Do~ager Duchess" If a man marries an actress who possesses the ac- complishments claimed by the lady for her daughters, he knows in advance that she has merely chosen that as her profess sion. If he marries an American he is tolerabIy sure she will neither gamble give q music hall speciality or permit broad songs and unrestrained conversa- tion to be the order of the association Fancy Mrs. Consuelo Vanderbilt singing 'T'row i'm Down.

Don't Bother Him.

Some of the boys are poking fun at Governor Mckinley because in his Ohio speech last week he solemnly declared that "Ohio republicans are firmly and resolutely determined on having two re- publcans in the United States senate. We intend to give Senator sherman a republican colleague" The Chicago Chronicle, commenting on this, says: As it has been the scandal of Ohio politics for thirty odd years that Sherman had always intrigued to help the election of a democratic senator in off years, so that he would have no rival for the presidency from his own state, the unintentional significance of McKinley's remark must have been appreciated by all who heard it."
