Unkind Words from DemopoIis.

Kind words for and a kindly interest in the State Fair has been manifested from one end of the state to the other. Mobile has shown as much interest in it as the Tennessee valley, and the indications are that every part of the state will be excel lently represented in its various depart ments It is to be beyond reasonable doubt the greatest fair ever held in the state, and one of the greatest ever held in the south.
 Only one unkind bit of comment has been heard. and, strange to say, this came from the valley of our own Warrior river. The Demopolis Dispatch says:
 "As the custom is in Birmingham when the people there want to get up anything, they are inveigling other towns and coun- ties into helping them make the State Fair a big success. It Is all done for the ag- grandizement of Birmingham. How many of the same towns would be helped by Bir- mingham. if they wanted to have fair?"
 The Dispatch is right when it says that this city wants to make the fair successful and truly representative: but will not such a result proportionately help every town and county in the state? If Birmingham reap the larger benefit in the long run. 1t will be because all parts of the state have been benefited by 1t.
 Each of the sixty-six counties in the state are asked to make a county exhibit in order that the whole shall be so com prehensive and satisfactory that all visit ors. including any stray capitalists from other states who may be In the throng of pressed. The Dispatch surely knows that visitors with or without capital seek Bir- mingham first before going elsewhere in the state. This is their Mecca, and if Ma rengo wants to catch their eyes and their capital 1t should send to the fair fine county exhibit. It is to be a fair field and no favors. Marengo will have at the fair an equal chance with Jefferson or any other county. Marengo's exhibit must speak for itself
 The Age-Heraid trusts that the Dispatch, published on the banks of the Warrior will not continue to think unkindly of a sister city that will soon. too. be on the banks of that great stream. MT. Underwood and his associates are preparing to bind the two cities together and no man-not even an editor-shouid attempt to put them asunder.

REFLEu rIt,Nsur 1, 3ACi SLOR.

From the New York Press
 Love grows by what it doesn't feed on
 No thin girl will ever admit that there is family skeleton anywhere around her house.
 Some of the worst gifts that Santa Claus ever put in stocking are what woman wear in them.
 After a girl has been engaged three or four times she feels lonesome every night a man doesn't propose to her.
 Women who are awful careful about matching ribbons that they wear where no- body ever sees them are mighty reckless matching hearts that everybody can look at.

raE HIGHEST sALARIED OFFICIAL

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 New York.-tMany were the people who envied the late Henry c. Hyde his salary of $100, 900 per annum as president of a life insurance company; they wondered at his death that he had only accumulated $550,- 0co, and concluded that man on salary can't save much in these days, when mill lionaires turn their money over and over again in trust deeds. Now comes another subject for wonder and envy. for Vice President Mcdonald of the Standard OH company has come to New York to assist President Rockefeller. and his salary makes those of the other corpora ton office holders look like 30 cents-for he is to re- ceive $20O 000' per annum, $16,666.66 per month, $54S for every day in the year, Sun days included Up to the time of his death Hyde had received the highest salary ever paid in the United States, Depew as presi- dent of the New York Central having been credited with only $75.o0o Mcdonald is now the highest paid. and only trust of the colossal wealth of the Standard could so reward any employe. -4at

A.. N. Dare, speaker of the House,
has this to say in his newspaper,
the Elk River Star News:
While there are as yet no candidates
actively in the field for governor there
are several gentlemen being quietly
groomed for the position, and there
will be more or less of this for the next
year, but when convention time comes
I would not be surprised to see the
Republican candidate nominated by
reclamation. Among those who are
being discussed, first and foremost is
our own Judge L. w. Collins. The
Judge has hosts of warm friends all
over the state, and should he finally
conclude to be a candidate he will
be an aggressive one and in that case
will have the solid Sixth district at
his back, if not the Seventh. The
readers of the Star News all know what
think of Judge Collins, so there is no
need of repeating it at this time. 1
consider that Judge Collins would
stand the best chance out of the field
to get the nomination, and all repub.
licans feel confident that a nomination
next year means an election, especially
the nomination of a man like Collins.

OUR NEXT MAYOR.

Upon urgent solicitation N.
Hogan has been persuaded to &C.
cept the candidacy for mayor OF
the city, and petition to that end
has been signed and filed with the
city clerk. The present indica-
tons are that he will have no OPP
position-as no other candidate
has been named.
Mr.. Hogan is a business man OF
the strictest integrity, breadth and
backbone. He has been identified
with the business interests OF the
city for years, coming here mere
lad, and by honorable business
methods and industry, has sue
ceeded in building himself up
ENJOYING a modest competency
He may be relied upon to exercise
a strict oversight of such business
affairs of the city as fall within his
prerogative, and neither fear nor
favor will swerve him from con.
scientious discharge of duty. He
is progressive without being ex-
travagant, and economical without
being niggardIy. The city, under
his management, will be run on
business principles. Sank Centre
will be fortunate in having his ripe
Judgment and strong common
sense at her disposal during the
next year.

for governor in 1900, and spoke frank

governor in1900, but have this tosay:
have told nobody that should be a
candidate for the gubernatorial NOM
ination nor have I told anybody that
did not care for another term on the
supreme bench. have not said that
Isha1l not be acandidate for governor,
but think it altogether too early to
begin the campaign and when the
proper time comes my friends will hear
from me one way or the other. -

This is the first direct expression
of purpose of Judge Collins relative
to the matter which so deeply in.
terests his friends. Had he been
nominated last year he would have
been elected. Should he be nom.
mated next year he will be elected
The HERALD is of the opinion that
the next republican candidate will
be either Judge Collins or Capt

be elected.

story OF a slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams
of Manchester, Mich. tells how such a
slave was set free. He says: "My wife
has been SO helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she is wonderfully improved
and able to do her own work. - This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepless-
ness, melancholy, headache, backache
fa.nting and dizzy spells. This miracle
working medicine is a godsend to weak
sickly, run down people. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only so cents. Sold by

Col. Howell of the Starbuck Times

where. He has record of which

is quite able to meet his small de-
famers in any way they desire
save only in low-down personal
abuse. 1t is intimated that a GRIM
inal libel suit may result.

An effort was made in the iegis-
lature to change the condition OF
the state board of equalization,
making the unit of representation
the congressional, instead OF the
judicial districts, as at present. BY
having three from each district
the board would be composed of
about the same number, but diff
ferently distributed locally. twas
charged that the cities were sut-
fering from not being fairly repre-
scented, and, in consequence, were
Disseminated against in the matter
of equalization. The St. Paul
Globe publishes a table of the as.
sessed and equalized valuation OF
the three cities-Minneapolis, St.
Paul and Duluth during the past
five years, and fails to find that
there was any discrimination. 1t
concludes its article:
1t will be seen from these figures
that the state board has taken some
times the assessors valuations, some
times the county boards and some
times, as in st. Louis county for 1896,
made lower valuation than either
the assessors or the county board.
The charge is unsustained.
2 Mr.. Sprague of this city is on the
hoard and is naturally Qratltled
that the legislature, as we'll as the
Globe, failed to find the charges
sustained. No changes will be
made. ~'> ....->
