IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE

".Tom' Clanton died in Montgomery on Monday-Thomas w. Clanton-one of the two sons of the famous General James Holt Clanton, who was thirty years ago the most conspicuous and most beloved of all Ala bama heroes" said man with mind for history.
 ..Teu me about him." pleaded one of the little group of idlers lounging in the hotel lobby
 "It is history" answered the historian, "and history of intense interest to all Ala bamians-the story of the Clantons. can't tell it to you now, but may say word or two. General Clanton was the fighting chief, in the cumulative sense, of the brave men who gave their time and imperilled their lives to the noble purpose of rescuing Alabama from the domination of the negro and his corrupt allies, the irresponsible camp-follower of the federal army and the adventurous pilferer from the east at large. Clanton was the first chairman of the hrst fully organized and determined state ex- ecutve committee of what it was invaria- bly, the custom to designate as the demo- cratic and conservative party of Alabama the term conservative being a concession to the old-time whigs, true and brave amongst the truest and bravest in that struggle of the Anglo-Saxon to regain control of the African element.
 Every enemy of proposed white su premacy was the bitter personal enemy of General Clanton, whose fame as sol- dier and whose extraordinary courage as man made him to be hated and feared. He led the fight and behind him stood men like Morgan, Pettus, Pugh, Watts, Brad ford, Sanford, Herndon, Parker and the other leaders whose fame abides and be- hind them all the serried ranks of the democracy. Those days were in stern reality the days that tried mems souls In a personal difficulty, growing out or politics, Clanton was murdered in Tennes- see after victory had been assured in Ala bama. He left two boys-Tom, who has irst died and young Jim, who lives some- where in Texas. The democrats having oo- tained control of the general assembly, that body passed an act providing for the education of the young Clantons at the cost of the state; and they were sent to the university at Tuscaloosa. Their brilliant promise was not fulfilled in the after life They bore the burden of a great name and were petted by every democrat, high ana low. They became listless, and in sense' aimless. They had their fathers courage but they lacked his energy. With all their courage, they were extremely amiable and won the affections of the multitude. Tom brave, generous Tom-died moneyless and homeless, but not friendless. He was buried with military honors in the City cemetery at Montgomery Monday after noon.

ton produced in three counties. and pays fifty cents or a dollar bale more for that staple product than is paid in the general markets. This they are enabled to do on account of saving in freight transportation. The work of doubling their capacity is now in progress and will soon be completed. These mills have behind them a capital of about $2O,0O0,O0O.
 But how do they use the waters that come down at Nocalula? ?"was asked.
 Mitchell has damned the creek down in the valley. A big cotton factory requires great deal of water, hence the big dam. It is one of the many object lessons in cotton manufacturing, that same factory at Gads- den. It teaches us facts that the world is now rapidly coming to learn."
 Several of the men who are making Gadsden great are now in Birmingham at tending United States court in the action of the Gadsden Water Works company against that city on account of water used for several years past R. B. Kyle, the banker; Tracy Hollingsworth; R. A. Mitchell D. T. Camp, MT. Broadway. J. R. Cooper and others are amongst the number of the influential Gandsdenites here.
 
 Tt does me good to see so many evil dences of Birmingham's growing prosperi- ty," declared Joe J. Willett, the Anniston attorney who comes to this city on so many big causes in court. "There are more people on the streets, the street cars are fuller, the people have brighter faces and walk more briskly and look more hopeful than at any other time for years past. There is no mistaking the fact that all is we'll with Birmingham, and there can be no doubt that everything is going to be far better still"
 "Anniston is noted for its lawyers" said a member of the local bar. You take John Knox, Joe Willett and John Cald- well-there are not three other lawyers of their age in the state who enjoy larger pro- fessional incomes I mention these, as they are the most prominent and oftenest seen in Birmingham; ;but apart from them ,Annis- ton has one of the brightest bars to be found in Alabama. By the way, one of the members of the Annston bar, who is spending the day in town, is young Thomas Wilkes Coleman, who won probably the most noteworthy victory in the recent fight for relationships before the state legisla- ture. Coleman was elected solicitor of the Annston circuit over great odds, and has cause for much personal satisfaction. He is one of the sons of Judge Thomas w. Coleman. of Greene, who has just retired from the supreme bench, and who was de- feated by Chief Justice Mcclellan for the chief justiceship in the state democratic convention this year.'
 Representative Davis, of Marion ,one of the leading young men of the house, who Is in town on his way home to spend Thanksgiving, is man to whom the future promises much of honor and usefulness said politician in the lobby. Davis is . strong man. Any one seeing his face. can discover that fact. The public shall hear much of him in the pending legislation"

for raising a snug little sum for her CO., religionists.
 The annouhcement that Miss Seligman would dispose of an osculatory chance at the bazar was made last week. Her hus- band was in New York, hobnobbing with Freddy Roosevelt for whom he delivered speeches in the campaign, but the news quickly went to the metropolis and reached the ears of Cutting.
 Mir Cutting did not like the idea. In fact, he very strongly opposed it. He did not wait to write his pretty wife, but he forthwith went to a telegraph office and indicted quite forbidding dispatch.
 On receipt of it the actress was non- plused. She was between two fires. She had offered to sell the kiss, and the attrac- tion, if such it might have been regarded, was advertised extensively by the press agent of the fair and Miss Seigman did not feel that she could break faith.
 The actress had been playing "Carmen" the previous week, end her kisses were the real things. She so declared herself, and some good religious folks were shocked at the warmth of her osculatory play with Malcolm Williams, the Jose in-"Carmen," though the girls were in love with its gen. uineness. Miss Seligman gained some reputation as ksser, and when asked to donate just one hug for charity she readily -assented. She expected to realize $1,OOO for the Associated Hebrew Charities on the venture. It is known that many patrons of the bazaar could have afforded to ex- change S1, ,000 for generous smack at the Seligman lips But the husband rebelled and followed up his first objecting dispatch with another, a little more forbidding, and Miss Seigman concluded to obey his or ders So the kiss auction is off.

Wooden Mauser Bullets.

It is well known that Spanish
soldiers in Cuba were poor marks
men. but great surprise has been
expressed at the remarkable lacl; of
execution which characterized their
fire at Guantanamo and Santiago,
and an officer Of the United States
gunboat Montgomery has been able
to throw some light on the matter.
He visited the Maria Teresa after
the destruction of Cervera's 5 feet in
search Of souvenirs. He found a
large number of Mauser cartridges
in groups of FIVE ready to go into
the magazines of the guns. and, If
the entire Spanish army and navy
were equipped with that kind OF
ammunition both Cervera and Toral
were amply justified i'll surrendering
when they did. The cartridges CON
sisted OF 4 metal shell loaded with
hair and sprinkling OF powder.
The bullet was OF neither brass nor
lead, but ofwood. Some army con-
tractor had imposed on the ordi-
nance bureau OF the Spanish navy,
but TO what extent the wooden
Mauser bullets were used will prob
ably never be known.-Scientifc
