At meeting of the board of managers of the American Bible society in New York on Monday last Rev. James A. Snedecor, pastor of the Avondale Pres byterian church, was unanimously elect ed district superintendent of the Bible work in Alabama. This great responsi- bility comes to him without his seeking, and marks his peculiar fitness for the place.
 The presbytery of north Alabama will be asked on the goth of this month to meet and dissolve his pastoral relation with his church, as he has accepted the position with a-view of entering upon his new field of labor January l.
 He will carry with him the best wishes of his ministerial friends of all denomi- nations with whom he has been in cor dial sympathy.
 While his church and that community will miss his valuable counsel and earn est labors, they will also rejoice that he has been called to a work for which, by his ripe judgment. admirable execu- tive ability and spiritual graces, he Is eminent!y qualified

Harmony Shall Be the Watchward.

Harmony should be the watchword of every democrat In Alabama. There can be no success without 1t. The lesson so recently taught us by the election in Kentucky Maryland and other states, where democrats lost heavily, should be a constant reminder that without har- mony in the ranks democracy can't do anything. Let the doors be thrown wide open and every democrat, no matter for whom he voted in the recent state and federalelections, be invited in and asked to take a part in the selection of county officers, and all who are known to have been democrats and who will abide by the action of the primary in the coming contest for county officers be invited to take a part in the spring primary elec- tions This insures harmony in our coun- ty elections and good men will be elected to office and the party once more united. The Courier is democratic, warp and wool, but 1t is not of the intolerant sort that can't see but one side of the ques- tion. In the recent county election the democrats carried everything except one office representative, and the man elect
 ed was more democratic than anything else, else he would have been defeated; ; so let us all come back and stand to- gether, firm for white mans govern ment. We are informed that such men as Hon. J. E. Fielding, and scores of other good men who have always been democrats and who have always stood for a white mans government, are ready and willing to vote with and support the nominees of the democratic party. Let them come back to the house of their fathers. Let us not by any stubborn ac- ton or sarcastic words drive them away. Hundreds of good democrats in Lime stone county who voted for Captain Kolb will not go of their own free will into the ranks of the populite and repub- lican combine. but if they are shown friendly hand will come back and take their stand in the ranks of the unterrified and support the nominees of that party. Let them come They are of our house. hold, and who is 1t that has not in days gone by erred?
