WITH THE ALABAMA EDITORS.
What the Clever Fellows Are Thinking and
 Writing About

Every man explains certain occur rences according to his profession or po- stion in life. Writing in this strain the Huntsville Tribune says:
 An intoxicated painter f4ll from a church steeple in Grand Rapids, Mich, a distance of seventy-five feet. The ay- craze minister would preach that that was what hs got for being drunk. The physicians in attendance said the whis- key was what saved him. The man got up and staggered off uninjured. Had the man been sober and stiffened h,m- self to catch the earth he would have broken into splinters.'
 The Florence Times makes a sugges- tion as to national issues in the coming state campaign. It says:
 'As Governor Johnston Is practically certain to be renominat5d for the gover- norship, 1t would be a good idea for his opponents among the gold men to let his nomination be made without op- position That would be a good way to keep national issues out of the contsst."
 In an editorial concerning Judge Sharpe's candidacy for the supreme bench, the Decatur News says:
 'Hon. Henry A. Sharps, senior judge of the city court of Birmingham, is a candidate for associate justice of the supreme court, fact which his hosts of friends in this section of the state, and especially in Morgan county, are grati- fi=d to know. His record on the bench is exceptionally good, as it also is in every other relation, whether private or public. We hazard nothing in saying that no man for any state office will be as strong in the, counties of the Tennessee Val ley as Judge Sharpe"
 The Marshall Banner seems to be for Judge Mcclellan for chief justice. It says:
 "Judgs. Thomas N. Mcclellan, associ-

Neosho, Feb 2e-The senior class
of the Columbus, Kansas, public
school has petitioned the school Of
fcials of this city to allow them to
bring their grades and come to Neo-
sho and graduate with the class OF
81 of the Neosho public schools.
The cause for this singular request
is that negro is member of the
Columbus class and the white pupils
do not want to graduate with him.
The negro, however, has rejected all
proposals of separate graduation
day or payment of his expenses to
this place to graduate with the col.
ored class here.and says if the white
pupils graduate they must do sc
with him in their midst. No action
has yet been taken.

There is in Prussia and i'm The other
states II corps OF educated. highly
trained state employees who have made
roads their profession, and they know
tier business. Constant repair is one
main reason for the condition OF The
German roads. Comprehensive and mi-
mute regulations are strictly enforced.
Ia some provinces the village mayor is
held strictly responsible for the good
condition of all the roads i'm his dis
trict except the state roads. The work
OF repair is constant and the labor is
constantly supervised.
Another main reason why the build
ing OF roads is carried out honestly is
the virtual absence OF temptation TO do
otherwise. The laws are very strict aud
violations are severely punished 10y fine
and imprisonment.
There arc three kinds of highways
