Everybody knows the name of the nominee for governor, and because of the local interest which surrounds them in the various counties all democrats know the names of their county nomi- nees, but there are thousands of intelli- gent voters who have not yet taken the trouble to acquaint themselves with the names of the various nominees for the minor state offices. This is important Attend to it now

As an evidence of this the boss of joint debate at Waldrop Springs Thursday, MT. Jerry Fountain, refused to permit the professor to speak. Fol lowing are the reasons assigned by MT. Fountain as chairman
 '1. Professor Burruss declares himself a middle of the road populist.

But if Professor Burruss will declare himself an organized democrat then he can have a division of the time

Dollars to doughnuts that she rolls up at least 5000 majority for the democratic ticket, state and county SATISFIED OATES WAS ELECTED. It is known of all men that Candidate Goodwin is making his campaign on the cry of fraud in the black belt It appears from his speeches that about the only thing he puts forth as reason why he should be elected governor is the charge that there has been fraud in the elec- tions in Alabama. Being engaged in such a campaign it is of interest to know just how Goodwin thinks and talks about Alabama elections when quietly sitting around a hotel in Birmingham and in conversation with one of his co-workers, a fellow on the inside. Here is what Mr Len Greer of Calhoun county says Good wyn said to him here in Birmingham in the fall of 1894.
 "Edwardsvilie, Ala, July 10, 1896. During the fall of 1894, after the elec- tion returns had been thoroughly can vassed, MT. Goodwin told me in Bir- mingham, at Gelders hotel, that he was thoroughly satisfied after an investiga- tion, that Colonel Oates had beaten Cap tain Kolb honestly between 5000 and 5000 votes, and he told me this voluntarily during a private. conversation in which the state election was discussed at length, during which he stated that he had told Captain Kolb, after speaking in Henry, that he CKolb) would lose that county by good vote

DON'T SEEK GOLD IN ALASKA.
Most of Those Who Have Tried Are Now
Stranded and Destitute.

Most OF Those Who Have Tried Are Now
Stranded and Destitute.
The warning of an old resident of
Alaska to all who may be tempted to
seek their fortunes in the gold fields
of that region should be needed. He
declares that nearly half the men there
now are destitute and unable to secure
employment. All the established
fully stocked with miners, and pros.
pecting and developing are all that is
left. AS for employment in other voca-
tions, there is none 20 be had.
There is no doubG that much truth
exists in the accounts of rich discover
: les that have been made there, but the
hardships which accompany the indus
try are too severe for any except those
sufficiently equipped Provisions are
necessarily very dear, and no work Of
any kind is possible during the greater
part of the year. The mines which
have secured rich returns are owned
by wealthy corporations enjoying
every facility which poor man is de-
MED.
The recent reduction in steamer
r1dOCS W fAAdShd, COupLSu WlCu CuG IdDU
lous stories of rich discoveries, has re-
suited in crowding the boats engaged
on the run. Hundreds with barely suf
fcient to pay their passage are going
north. They do not realize that tho
conditions are wholly different from
those in new mining camps elsewhere.
The extreme cold imposes limitations
which prohibit an ordinary mining
boom. An evidence of the severity Of
the cold is shown in the fact that in
panwashing for gold the quicksilver
will not act as it does in q milder cli-
mate, but permits all the float gold to
escape, retaining none but coarse gold.
Alaska has great possibilities for
wealthy investors, but none for men
who depend on their daily labor or who
want to take chances of making val
liable discovery in prospecting. 1t il
one thing to find q rich deposit
in that remote and difficult
region and another to obtain a pur.
chaser. As for depending on what may
be secured by panwashing in the gla
cial moraines, considering the very
short season during which that may be
done, 1t should appall the hardest
spirit. Besides the richest deposits are
far inland, to which no one dare penc-
trate unless he be amply provided will,
