 John w. Tomlinson, of Birmingham, is in the city this week. mingling with friends and acquaintances. MT. Tomlin- son, who is thoroughly posted as to the relative strength of the gold and silver sentiment of the state and who can give the address of reliable silver worker in every county and nearly every precinct in the state, says that the silver sentiment is even more overwhelming than during the campaign, and that he has an abid- ing faith that. during the incoming re- publican administration, all their experi- ments will fail and it will be demon- strated beyond question that the country cannot get along without both gold and silver as primary money and that inter- national agreement is impossible, and was only put in the republican platform to mislead the people.

MT. Barnes railroad commission bill was called up in the house yesterday for reconsideration and on motion was tabled the vote standing 56 to S6. This, 1t IS thought, effectually kills the bill. MT. Barnes made a gallant fight for his bill and won considerable reputation among both the friends and opponents of the measure. He is one of the ablest law yers in East Alabama and is quite popu- lar with his people.

He has recently bought the opelika Evening and Weekly News. The News was owned and oper- ated by MT. Wilson and MT. Greer prior to their removal to Birmingham, and at the time was one of the most prosperous and influential papers in the state.

PLEASE MR.. MAYOR

Build Us That Market House Without
Delay.
To the Daily Light:
1 have read some good opinions in
your paper, and as ] know a little
about our present market business,
as 1 have stand near the city hall,
1 believe 1 can say something about
the need of a market house, that will
protect us poor vegetable vendors from
the burning sun, and in raining wealth
er. / for one, have been there for
many years, and although I am Grip
pied with rheumatism and a sore foot,
/ am bound to make living in selling
vegetables, under such trying circum-
stances. But 1 do not grumble as l
am simply used to it, and am at my
stand the year round, in all sorts of
bad weather; but / tell you Mr.. Edi-
tor, often pity the many nice people
that must wait in the hot sun, or the
cold, wet winter days around the veg
etable stands. Then we have no ta-
bles to put our goods on, and need more
room above all. Just look how most of
this fruit and vegetables are spread
out on the bare ground, and ask the
doctors if this is healthy.
1 hear as much talk by our doctors
of microbes in decaying substances;
well, it will take the trouble to exam
inc such substances around our stand
where now and then a consumptive
stranger is sent by the city doctor to
the health officeI believe a stratling
discovery would be made, and our
honored mayor would soon build us a
large market house. l am glad to see
the newspapers are telling the truth
about this matter.
