PRIMARIES OR CONVENTIONS

cTranslated from Alabama Courier Jan-
 uary 8)
 With the exception of South Carolina there is perhaps not another southern state in which the white population is so divided into factions, and consequently so demoralzed, as in Alabama. The so- called reform movements of the various parties and sub-parties have forced a wedge into the body of the great demo- cratic party, which has grievously mutt lated and crippled 1t. The experiences of the past two years have plainly shown, however that all these So-called reforms were wholly based on political trickery, a1rf-it is for this reason that the greater part of their followers are now deserting their ranks and are now turning away disgusted and discouraged.
 There never was a more favorable time than the present to reclaim all these Va- rious elements, uncertain as they are as to their own purposes. and to win them back into the democratic party the only party for the white men of Ala bama. This can be done if the party ma chine will declare once for all that within the democratic party everyone shall have an equal chance to win for himself the political support of his fellow-citizens But this can never be done by the so- called convention. In a convention the interests of the individual citizens are disregarded and even trafficked away in order to secure the nomination of a clique. It is this practice which has driven thousands of good white voters out of the ranks of the democratic party, Away, therefore, with the conventioni All honest elements should unite in the demand for a primary; it is only in the primary that the wishes and demands of the people find a chance to be heard May our party politicians take warning. The democratic party can only expect to be victorious this year if you can convince the different elements that you are ready to treat them honestly and fairly, and that you are willing to grant all candi- dates an equal chance. which can only be done in a primary. If this is not done, then we believe the coming election will become the grave of the democracy of Alabama, and the party leaders may boast of having wilfully encompassed it's destruction.

MIR. JAMES WILSON DEAD.
He Was One of Jeferson's Most Prominent

Citizens.
 Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the death of MT. James Wilson occurred at his home near East Lake.
 MT. Wilson has been in poor health for more than year, but the dread mal- ady which was the immediate and direct cause of his death came upon him only a few days ago.
 On last, Tuesday MT. Wilson was in the city transacting some business, and was apparently as well as he has been during the past year. He was making arrangements preparatory to going to Florida for a few months In the hope of beneiiting his health. On Wednesday he was suddenly seized with severe at tack of pleurisy of the lungs, and, though attended by skilled physicians, he grew gradually worse until death relieved him of his sufferings yesterday morning.
 He was in the 18th year of his age, and has been a resident of this county for more than fifty years.
 MT. Wilson was native of Greenville. $. C., and, accompanied by his brother, moved to this state in his early man. hood, bought farm and settled in what was then known as the Ruhama neigh borhood. in this county. A few years later he was married to Miss Fannie Hamilton of Talladega county. and to them twelve children were born, only four of whom are yet alive. His good wife was also taken several years ago.
 Since his early residence in this county MT. Wilson has been a man of promi- hence, standing as monument to pure manhood and good citizenship. He has been always prosperous farmer and a man known for his sterling worth and splendid qualities of mind and heart
 He served the county in the capacity of commissioner for number of years and was frequently urged to become a candidate for other offices of prominence and honor
 The children who are left to mourn his loss are pr. Cunningham Wilson, Mrs. William Eubank Mrs. Minnie Constan- tine of this city and MT. William Will son of East Lake.
 The funeral will take place from the family residence this morning at II o'clock. The remains will be inferred in the old family burying ground near his home.

power and vitality That is the kind of man that every man should be, and his magnetic presence would make every body happy around him. Why is it not so? One of the principal reasons is the universally prevailing tobacco habit Tobacco kills nerve. Stay with tobacco long enough, and every man will be d salloW, skinny, nerveless wreck, inspiring disgust instead of love and affection. No man who uses tobacco can be as much of a man as without it.
 No grasp so strong as the death grip of habit, and man once fully Tits clutch es is helpless without aid. That's why every tobacco-user has the same good excuse-"I can't quit" No-To-Bac re- moves this only excuse, and any one who will can quit easily, quickly and per manently. Here's an instance:
 MADE HIS WIFE HAPPY.
 Crestline, O., June 3. Dear Sirs: No-To-Bac has entirely cured me of the use of tobacco. and the result of the treatment has been a sur prise to myself and friends. Now when l am offered chew or smoke by my friends it is declined with thanks, and refer them to No-To-Bac. I could not begin to tell you how many times my wife has thanked your No-To-Bac for what it has done in my case.
 J. w. McCULLY. This is only one of thousands. Talk with your wife about it, and start your cure today.
 No-To-Bac is not sold on the recom- mendation of men like MT. McCully, one of over 300,000 cases cured, but can be ob tained from any druggist in the United States or Canada under absolute guaran- tee of cure or money refunded.

BObby's Composition on Parents.

Parents are things which boys have
to look after them. Most girls also have
parents. Parents consist Of Pas and
Mas. Pas talk good deal about what
they are going to do, but mostly it's
Mas that make you mind. Sometimes
it is different, though. Once there was
boy came home from college on va
cation. His parents lived On d farm.
There was work to be done on the
farm. Work on a farm always has to
be done early in the morning. This
boy didn't get up. His sister goes to
the stairway and calls: Willie, 'us a
beautiful morning. Rise aud list to the
lark" The boy didn't say anythi ng.
Then his Ma calls: William, it is
time to get up. Your breakfast is grow
ing cold" The bay KEEP right on not
saying anything. Then his Pa puts
his head in The stairway, and says he,
- Bill" Coming, sir! SAYS the boy.
l know boy that hasn't got any par
ents. He goes in swimming whenever
he pleases. But l am going to stick to my
parents. However, | don't tell them
so, cause they might get it into their
heads that / couldn't get along without
them. Says this boy to me, parents
are q nuisance; they aren't what tn eyre
cracked up to be-" Says l to him,
" Just the same, l find 'em handy to
have. Parents have their failings, of
course, like all of US, but on the whole
| approve of 'em." Once a man saws
to me, " Bobby, DO you love your par
enls?" Well" says l. Pm not a.
quarrelling with 'em." Once boy at
boarding-school went to calling his Pa
the Governor, and got his allowance
cut down one half. His Pa said he
ought to have waited till he was going
to college. Much more might be written
about parents, showing their habits and
