you BOYS MADE ME.

When Gen. Pettus came down town
Tuesday after his generous reception he
was met on the sidewalk at the rear Of
Ullmans store by a couple of country
men. The clothes they wore were not of
the best, and their faces had not felt
a razor for many day, but the greeting
between them and Gen. Pettus was of a
most cordial nature Gem Pettus called
them by their given names, and then
they talked about the fight around Nash
tus said: You boys have made me what
/ am" That was q beautiful tribute OF
Gen. pettus to his old confederate sol
diers.-Selma Times.

cALDwELL's PREDICTION.

John NJ. Caldwell. of Calhoun, predicted
that when Oates defeated Johnston for
Governor that he would never hold an
other Office in Alabama. 1t will take at
least twenty years to verify this predic-
ton. Oates is still full of vigor and he
may come to the front in years to come.
Our idea is, though, that the politics of
Alabama will be run by the young men OF
the state from this time out. Such men
as Will Brandon, Gen. Pettus, John Il.
Knox, Henry Pitts. VIII Burns and Col
Satterfield will be in the saddle for the
next ten or fifteen years.--Selma Times.

ROLLING UP HIS SLEEVES.

Gov-elect Johnston is trolling up his
sleeves to tackle his duties with vim.
The captain has long had an eagerness
to pull the gubernatorial reins, and 1t is
safa to predict that he will accomplish
something, if possible during his admin
istration. He has had keen desire to
just be Governor, and nothing more,
and his whole energy and thought will
be given to it. Gov. Oates has made a
splendid record.-Dothan Siftings.

IT TICKLED THE PoPULIsTs.

1t tickled the populists nightly when
q resolution was passed shutting out
the gold boiling democrats from the
democratic caucus of the house and sem
ate. 1t was a big crumb of comfort to
them. Though there were none to ex-
clude "If there is single democratic
member of either house, who did not
support Bryan and the ticket, he has
failed to own it," said prominent men,
Der of the house, and all the democrats
participated, also one populists, in the
caucus-Dothan Siftings.

Mckinley looks after the tension and
surprising ordeal he has just passed

way, and be perfectly satisfied with him-

HANNA's WINTER HOME.

1t will be interesting news to the public
to know that the muchly talked Of Mark
Hanna has winter home SO near US as
Townsville, Ga, where he spends a
large part of his time and where he will
doubtless have president-elect Mckinley
with him this winter-Dothan Strings.

A measure that possesses genuine merit
needs not the aid of the professional lob

sessions of the legislature.

What Alabama most needs is a new

HALE WILL NOT REBEL.

Hale county was the home of Governor
Seay; he was an advocate of the gold
standard and a man of great personal
influence. Hale county is the home of
Dr. Archibald Lawson, a banker, popu-
lar gentleman and the nominee of the
Palmerites for representative in con-
gross. But no matter how popular a
man may be, he can not persuade the
democratic voters of Hale county to re-
bel against the great party which has SO
long shielded them against wrong and
oppression. Mobile News.

There is no justice in requiring the
taxpayers of Alabama to pay salary of
$2000 to a state or county officer now
when it requires twice as many pounds
of linz cotton to pay that salary as Il
did when the salary was fixed.-State
Herald.
There's flnanciering for you! Why
not have the legislature in perpetual
session, SO as TO raise or lower salaries
as fast as the bulls and bears can change
the price of cotton?-Advertiser.
That wouldn't do as long as the capital
is located in Montgomery. The repre-
sentatives might imbibe the Advertisers
republican proclivities as to what 1t
takes to keep the parity between gold and
silver, according to the Wall street idea.
Alabama is TOO solid for democracy to
stop to consider republican suggestions
anyway. See!

HIGH HATS AND BLooMERs.

1t is reported that the young and tall

THE BOSS TROUBLING THEM.

Some Of the papers and POLITICIANS,
notably the Montgomery Advertiser,
that did all in their power during the re-
cent campaign to defeat the democratic

There is scarcely any legislation that
could be passed by the general assembly
that would be of more benefit to the tax
payers Of the state than thorough reT
vision and change of our court procedure
affecting pleadings, trials etc, in both

ago the Alabama Bar association, we are
informed. recommended revisions along
the lines above suggested. 1t would be
time we'll spent if the judiciary commit
