Wasted EIoouence in Limestone.

The joint debate between the governor
and the senior senator of the state, which
was begun at Athens on Saturday and will
be continued today at Salem. is perhaps
the most dogmatic episode in the history OF
Alabama politics. 1t would be difficult to
recall in the states history parallel case,
or even one approaching in interest this
life-and-death grapple; for it means the re-
tirement of the most renowned senator the
state ever had. or the close of the political
career of the most ambitious governor that
the state ever had One or the other goes
to the wall. and the results in the tAree
premature counties will be considered sig
nificant TO say the least.
But when one reads the Athens debate
that The Age-Herald's enterprise procured
at the earliest possible moment, disappoint-
ment follows. 1t relates to the dead past
to matters that no one cares aught about
1t was debate that will not change a
vote. 1t had no relation to matters of to-
day. What either of the debaters may
think as to a constitutional convention or
to an international bank is neither exciting
nor timely. 1t was a waste of energy on
both sides.
Not word was said in relation to the
two land deals that are in the public mind
No light was thrown upon those transact
tions, one of which at least was transacted
with the secresy of the Middle Ages. The
Salem discussion should illuminate the dark
places. Let the dead convention and the
dead bank rest on their little graves and
corning the sales of two bodies of valuable
public lands, under every foot of which lie
deposits of natures great fuel.
If these joint debates are to be profitable
to the people they must be less loaded with
personalities, and the time saved in that
people want to know about. The Athens
debate did not supply the people with a bit
of information that they deserved and did
mot possess. 1t was not stale or fat but
it was exceedingly Improbable.

Elizabeth Cooke Noyes, aged IS years and
three months.

Sept 20, 1924. She was a daughter of iona
than Cooke of that town, and the fifth of
family of ten children, only one of whom, a
younger brother, survives her.
At the age OF eighteen, she married Edgar
Noyes OF Hyde Park, which town has ever
since been her home, and where the death of
her husband occurred in April 1888. She
united with the Congregational church in the
earlier days OF it's foundation, under the pas
torate of Rev. j. g. Bailey, and although
unable in the later years of her life to active
ly participate in its work or service, yet she
always had it's interests at heart, being al
ways loyal and devoted to what she believed
to be for the best interests and welfare of her
church, her friends and her family no effort
or sacrifice within her power being too great
to be made for them. She was a woman of
quick sympathy, selfsacr6cng true and
devoted mother. During the five days of her
illness she bore her suffering with wonderful
patience and sweetness. The funeral services
on December 20, at the home OF herself and
son, Chas. ID. Noyes, we're conducted by Rev.
II. G. Taylor, the bearers being Chas. d.
Noyes, Il. l.. Noyes, A. G. Noyes and Lucius
