1t has been suggested that some OF
the citizens are slow about announcing
a desire to accommodate guests and the
Information bureau is not being called
upon fast enough. Mr.. Charles l. Smith,
who has been appointed to call upon the
people, reports fairly good success, but
the entire city is expected to do its duty
in this particular, as the city will be
so crowded with visitors that 1t will tax
her to accommodate them.

had orders for nearly hundred gor-

grand ball. s
The triumphal arches which will be
erected in honor of Vulcan H., will be
magnificent in their gorgeous splendor
and reflect great credit upon the city.
So bright will be the nights during the
stay of his Majesty in the city that
there will be virtually no night as the
glare of the thousands of electric lights
will vie in brilliancy with the monday

Already flags bearing the colors of His
Majesty. Rex Vulcan II, are to be seen
all over the business part of the city,
and that the city will be appropriately
decorated there can be no disputing.

MUST NOT BE RECREANT.

We trust the postponment of the con-
sideration of the constitutional conven-
ton measure does not mean that its
friends are in the minority. Alabama
cannot afford to have this measure de-
feated, and unless the convention is au-
thorized our legislators will prove recre-
ant to the greatest trust imposed upon
them. If it transpires that foreign
lobby is instrumental in the defeat of this
bill the home lobbies will not be so activei
hereafter when foreign interests are af-
fected.-HuntsVille Mercury.

THE SELFISH OPPOSE IT.

None but the most selfish can oppose
a constitutional convention. 1t occurs to
us that the fight made against it on the
grounds of disfranchising the negro, is
expressly for the purpose of putting that

hands of monopolists SO the money pow
er can beat down the will of the intelli-
gent white and colored elements by re-
