GRAND JURY BRINGS E THE POLITICIANS
Huntsville is Flooded With Them
 Campaign is On.
FOUR JESS" IN THEIR MIDST
Morgan-Johnston Contest Exciting Con- ? siderable rest-Cunningham Con- sidered Candidate But Meantime
 Stallings is Repairing Fences

Huntsville, August 15.-(special.)-Th grand jury is now in session at Huntsville, and politicians from every precinct of Madison county are here
 There seems to be a superabundance of candidates fer county offices, at least one hundred having entered the arena. Up to date ten have announced for sheriff and the number of aspirants for the other offices range as high as fifty. In fact, nearly every other man one meets is ready to dom the county official robes, provided the regular salary is attached thereto.
 The Hon. Jesse Stalnngs arrived here Saturday evening, and he is making an active canvass for the Madison delegation. If another candidate fights Mir. Stalings openly on this issue, it may result in a sharp conflict.
 No one seems to doubt Cunningham's candidacy. but all are anxiously awaiting his formal announcement. The Jefferson senator seems to have great many friends here who want to see him come out. It Is said that man of prominence in the party in Alabama was in Huntsville last week consulting with some leaders in regard to
 
 brought out.
 The same politician was heard to say that within a week the people of Alabama would know whether or not the doctor would be candidate. Friends of John B. Knox have also been urging him to enter the race. Though many do not look on this seriously, there are others who be- lieve he could be pulled into the contest for governor, on certain issues Stallings has already been to see "the boys," as he terms it, and no matter what issues or candidates are brought out, he will be hard to disodge from his present position. He Is an un- tiring worker, and has seen nearly all the leading men of the county.
 Morgan-Johnston Contest
 Over all this simmering of local politics. the great Morgan-Johnston contest is pre- eminent, as is true in most of the north Alabama counties The lines on this fight are already drawn. When candidate an- nounces he is immediately interrogated as to his favorite for United States senator.
 In some sections of the county Johnston has strong backing, and there are those Who will follow him bEndly. Others who have always favored the governor, recog- nize the greatness of Morgan, and when 1t comes to a choice will come from under .4ohnston's rule and vote for the venerable rold senator. On this question it is hard to get the coneensus of opinion, as both sides claim the county. The Johnston men say that the governor will have large ma jority while their opponents speak like wise in regard to Morgan. B. c. B.

TUCKER TRIED AT MAIDEN, MO- FOR MAN SLAUGHTER AND THE
 CONDUCTOR FOUND NOT GUILTY.
The Man Was Unruly and to Protect the Ladies Conduc-
 tor Had to Put Him Off.

From the Monroe County Times. published at BrinkIey, Ark, we clip the following, relative to the trial of Conductor Chas Tucker of the Cotton Belt, who was on Nov. 29, tried for manslaughter at Nal den, Mo.
 The evidence shows that Conduc. tor Tucker never at any time put the man off the train, only that he was gettiug him out of the coach where the ladies were, and in doing this the man slipped and fell, thus sustain. ing injuries which, short time there after, resulted in his.death.
 ssThe Times of the 15 inst. has the following to say about the matter: Much as may have been the talk of Conductor Cha. TuckJr of the Cot ton Belt, being guilty of manslaugh- ter, there now proves to be nothing ir it.
 Some weeks ago drunken man got aboard his tram in Southeast Mo. near Maiden. The man was unruly and Conductor Tucker was compelled to pat him off the train to protect the ladies aboard. On leaving the coach the drunken man feli and sustained injuries which are claimed to have caused his death. Conductor Tucker was arrested on charge of mauslaughter. He had his preliminary hearing in New Madrid while we were there on Nov. 29. After all evidence was in Squire Good found nothing in it to justify him in requiring bond from Mr. Tucker. However Mr. Tucker of . fered and made bond for $500 to await the action of the grand jury. During this time Ms. Tucker was of duty, but as soon as Mir. Miller of Jackson, Mo-, attorney for the Cot ton Belt, made his report he was immediately restored to his position.
 i've havespersonally known Mr. Tucker for four years, and nave rid. den many thousand miles with him, have always found him to be quiet, peaceable, obliging and corteous gentleman in every way. We never saw him mistreat any one.
 s'lf the conductors of our railroads were not allowed to keep order aboard their trains and protect our ladies, as well as ourselves, we should all cease to travel that way, and the railroads would have to quit business.
 If the man sustained injuries from the agency of Mir. Tucker it was quite accidental that they were of a serious nature and we have no doubt that should it eyer come to trial, he will be most honorabiy acquitted"

PAYING THE DOCTORS FEE.
Physicians Should be Treated with
More Justice by Their Patients.

Wilt is an amazing fact that OF
all bills sent to family, that OF
the doctor is in hundreds of families
the last one to be paid; and in more
cases than it is pleasant to contem-
plate it is never paid atall, writes
Inward Box in the October Ladies
Home Journal. IT have recently
gone to the trouble to make some IN
ouiries into this matter, and have
been astounded to find that not one
fourth of the bills sent by doctors
are paid with anything like prompt
ness. There is quickening OF the
conscience: a simple realization OF
a proper sense of duty needed IN
this matter. 1t is high time, IN the
case of hundreds of families, that
this matter should be brought home
to their sense offairness and justice.
And as with them the doctors nave
for SO many years been the last TO
receive their due in the payment Oh
their bills, it would be only simple
Justice that hereafter "the last
shall be first No worker In the
field of human industry deserves
better at the hands of the people
whom he serves than the doctor,
and to pay his fee promptly and
cheerfully is the least we can DO tor
the service which he gives us.

Wealth In Store For Owners Of
North Christian Lands.

There are two or three parties in
this town and in Darlington who
think they perhaps have a fortune
that they did not know they had
until few days since. These gen
tlemen, several years since bought
1,500 acres of old, no account land
in North Christian county for which
they paid a small sum of money.
They have been paying taxes on
the same and at times have felt like
giving up the land for the taxes. 1t
is now believed that under this land
are large deposits of phosphate, the
fertilizer that has of late become so
valuable. An investigation is being
made and if it should be found that
phosphate is there, the old land
will be worth Thousands upon
thousands of dollars.-M adisonville
