GOODWYN'Ss GALL is GREAT
That's the Verdict in Nutshell of the State
Press on the Hybrid Candidates
s, Letter.

Congressman A. 7. Goodwin, the nomi-
nee of the populites and republicans for
governor. has addressed a letter to Cap
tain Johnston in which he charges dis
honesty to the democratic party, and asks
for joint discussion. On account of the
offensive tone of Goodwyn's letter and the
imputations which 1t casts upon the DEM
ocrauc party, 1t Is regarded as very
doubtful IL Captain Johnston win dignity
the letter by rep1y.-Jacksonville Re-
publican.
Goodwin has challenged Joe Johnston
to a joint discussion in letter, in which
he heaps insult upon the democratic par
ty in Alabama. 1t is scalawag, carpet
bag document, and hardly merits the no
tice of our democratic chief.-Alexander
City Outlook.
Hon. A. 7. GOODWIN, pop-rep nominee
for governor, has sent Captain Johnston
an insulting letter asking to meet him in
joint debate at different places In the
state during the campaign. 1t is to be
hoped that Captain Johnston will treat
the letter with contempt, as he should.
since 1t reflects upon the honesty of the
democratic party and the gentlemen hold
ing office under 1t in this state. Had the
invitation for joint discussion been
framed in gentlemanly language there
would be no improperly in Captain john
ston's acceptanee.-Pine Belt News.
While joint debate As a thing as much
desired by democrats as anybody, 1t is

reply to a propositionAso disrespectful In
it's style as Is Mr.. Goodwyn's.-Tuskaloo
sa Gazette.
The letter of Goodwin to Captain John
ston proposing a joint discussion, pub
lished in yesterdays State Herald, was
simply a campaign document. Captain
Johnston could not accept the proposition
without tacitly admitting the truth of
various and sundry charges against the
democracy.-Mobile Herald.
Mr.. GOODWIN makes the painful asser-
ton in his challenge to Captain Johnston
that he is the nominee of the peoples
party Endorsed by the republicans" That
is. the republican party, composed prin-
cipally of negroes, indorses Mr.. Goodwin
as its moral political and executive agent
and attorney, and Mr.. Goodwin accepts
all the moral responsibilities that the
contract imposes and implies.-Selma

Generous Expressions of the State Press To-
ward Mr.. Rountree
The State Herald of the 14th announced
that Mr.. ]. A. Rountree, having acquired
an interest in the paper, had been elected
general manager thereof
Mr.. Rountree has successfully edited
and published the Hartselle Enquirer
for a number of years and has of late
months developed into quite brilliant
politician 1t was he who so successfully
managed the Johnston campaign in Nor
& an county. He is full of energy and can
get there" successfully In about as
many different ways as any young editor
we know. We opine he will make a good
manager for the State Herald and may
succeed in pulling it out of the ruts.-

Col r. v. Evans, who has so success
fully managed the State Herald, has re-

This young Morgan county democrat is
fast coming to the front in the newspa-

his many friends We trust that he may
successfully steer the State Herald

The News notices with pleasure that
Mr.. ]. A. Rountree, known all over the
state as q fearless newspaper man. as
well as genial gentleman, has become
general manager of the Birmingham
State Herald. He will fill the position
with profit to the paper and honor to
himself.-Mobile Daily News.

Montgomery, Cozine and Price of Meri-

would be hard to find better set of men
than will compose the push" The ex-
penses of the men will be large and the
prizes will of course have to be good.
Birmingham should have a date by all

agree to take day for Birmingham and
make it a bowling success. 80

The meet at Demopolis was a great
success. The Birmingham boys who went
down report that they were never better
treated or had more elegant time than
the management of the association had
in store for them 1t is safe to say that
should Demopolis ever give a meet
again they will have the same crowd of
racing men to compete.

The showing made by Messrs. Will H.
Pickens and John p. Fleck at the meet
last week stamps them as two of the
best racing men in the south. Birming
ham has always held her own In cycling
contests, and since Warren announced
his retirement from the path these two
champions will try to fill his shoes. They
will both be on the circuit and it is
foregone conclusion that they will con-
tinue their good work /,
Alabama should be proud of the riding
of George e. Quinn of Mobile. Mr.. Quinn
Is well known here among the racing tai

all. George Is without a doubt one of the

The road race given by local cycle
concern on last Thursday. while inter-
esting to certain degree, was void of the
old time interest when Guyol and other
road cracks plugged the road for victory.
Then we had all the prominent riders
in the city to compete, while now the
spectators have to be satisfied to watch
few of the novices start out at swift
pace and die at the half pole. Those
were good old days, and it is feared they
will never come again. Dillon Is one of
the best road riders In the state and has
won every time prize for which he has
competed for long time. Stocking Is
a good man, but must be satisfied with
second place until he can ride faster.
Two short rides will do you more good
than one long one.
A pepper and salt bicycle suit should
always be seasonable.
The regular Sunday run of the cycle
club will be made to McCalla via Dolo-
mite and return via Bessemer, distance
of fifty-one miles. All wheelmen are in
vited by Captain Snider, who has charge
of the run.
Sid BLACK the chamnion friclx and
fancy rider of the world, was in the city
during the past week for the purpose of
giving an exhibition to advertise the
bicycle for which he travels. The in
clement weather would not permit the
exhibition. 1t is to be regretted that the
wheelmen of this city missed such a
treat as Mr.. Blacks riding Is simply
marvellous. Mr. Black is also a crack
shot.

In every line of art there are three
stages-the initiative, the experimental
and the creative.
Mr.. L. e. Friend having experienced
all the vicissitudes of the first two, may
justly lay claim to mastery of the third
requirement in the art of photography.
His days of experimenting are over. and
he Is satisfied, with a thorough knowl-
edge of the demands and possibilities of
his art to give his patrons the best skill
can produce.
The stage of cheap prices he has also
passed, believing that to support the
necessary qualifications for making good
portraits value received should be de-
manded.
The work he Is now producing and has
been for the past year he guarantees to
be as absolutely permanent as can be
made on paper.
Mr.. Friends portrait gallery was drawn
on to a considerable extent in the Illus
tration of this edition. He caters to the
trade of white people only, believing
that he can give them more satisfactory
service thereby.
His galleries, where visitors are always
welcome, are at No. 221 Twenty

Jennie Brown Heiress to $4,000 for
Befriending an Old Man.
For befriending an apparently friend
less old man Miss Jennie Brown, a fac
tory girl OF Binghamton, y. Y. has
been made an heiress. William Brown
was resident of Newark, y. j., and
recently his wife died leaving him
alone except for three sisters and his
distant relative. Jennie. He was ap-
parently in INDECENT circumstances and
was coldly received by the sisters. Jen-
ME, however, pitied the old mans for
lorn situation, and did all she could to
make life as comfortable as possible for
him. The sisters smiled, but did not OBJ
ject and when at last the old gentle
man died little interest was shown in
the event. After the funeral, however,
an attorney announced that Mr.. Brown
had left will. This caused a sensation,
as his relatives supposed he had moth
ing TO leave. None was more astonishel
than Miss Jennie, and her surprise was
overwhelming when it was announced
that she was the sole heir to $4,000,
which Brown had accumulated without
letting any one know II.
