DISTRIBUTE THE DELEGATES

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 With the exception of Captain Kolb and R. H. Hewitt, all who have announced for delegate to the constitutional convention are gentlemen of the legal profession. We should have a large sprinkling of lawyers in the convention; but there Is another in- terest that sould be looked after that has become a very potent factor in the upbuild- ing of the state since the last constitution was adopted.
 The mining industry should be entitled to some representation in the convention; the party selected should be practical miner, one who is thoroughly familiar with the wants of those patient souls who deIve day after day in the bowels of the earth, putting forth that which gives life to the many manufacturing enterprises that are today bringing Alabama into prominence throughout the known world
 The man above all others whom we deem best fitted to represent the claims above mentioned is Judge William Grady, of Pratt City. He is intelligent, honest, fear less, and untiring in the prosecution or any duty imposed upon him.
 His selection would harmonize many con- flicting interests and bring about an era of goodfellowship which-would be produc- tive of good to all.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Either a woman will exaggerate her hus- bands good qualities or other mems bad ones.
 The reason women like to make matches for other girls is because they think it fools people about their own.
 Girl babies can f1irt without knowing how to talk; after they grow up they can do it without knowing how to think.
 The more a man watches his married friends the more he appreciates how good he was to the girl he did not marry.
 Any woman will be a mans friend if he is useful to her; to make her love him he must use her; to make her adore him he must use her and then trample on her.

Successful Fairs Were Formerly Held

SETTING FORTH THE ADVANTAGES
The Horse Loving Citizens Want The Racing Sport Revived, and Have Formed Organization Many
 Favorable Expressions.

A state fair for Birmingham, to be held next fall, is being talked of by many peo- pie Of this city. Everybody wants Bir- mingham to revive it's fairs; the horse-lov- ing citizens of Birmingham are very anx- ious to see some more racing here, and an organization was formed in this city Friday night for the purpose of reviving the sport. The manufacturing interests Tn and around Birmingham are anxious for a fair, for Birmingham could put up one of the best and most diversified exhibits of any city Tn the south. The chicken fam ciers want fair, for they are tired of hav- ing their show every fall without other at fractions in connections with it. The mer- chants want fair because 1t brings peo- pie to town. And lastly, but not least, the farmers and people living in the smaller ern part of Alabama, are anxious to show their farm products and see what the other farmers are doing.
 Birmingham industries could put in live exhibits which would be a credit to almost any city, and exhibits that would draw crowds from the whole state. In fact this fair is absolutely being forced on Bir- mingham by circums tances, and it seems that the city must have one whether she will or not. The following letter received by a gentleman in this city from NJ V Richards, the land and immigra tion agent of the Southern railroad, is fair examp.e of the interest that is being taken on the outs tsde.--~

SENATOR CUNNINGHAM
A Candidate for Constitutional Conven'
 ton Delegate.

Senator R. M. Cunningham has an- nounced himself a candidate for delegate to the constitutional convention from the senatorial district composed of Jefferson county, or rather delegate-at-large. The selection is made by the county convention which selects delegates to the state con- vention, which in turn selects the dele gates-at-large. Up to date Dr. Cunning ham has no opposition, and the chances are that he will win without opposition. pr. Cunningham is president of the state senate and one of the ablest and most popular men in the state.

Physician Hawkins dressed the negro 3
wounds, which have been Unattended since
last Friday. There were four ugly wounds
in one of his hands and arms. and from
one of them a 44-calbre bullet was extract
ed. It had penetrated deeply into the tiesa
and had Hattened itself against the bone.
This little memento OF tho tragedy is now
in the hands Of the neGro's attorneys. They
will use it as evidence.
United States District Attorney william
Vaughn and his assistant, j. W. Davidson,
have been employed to defend TunstaH. Mr.
Davidson said yesterday that tho first step
in the case would probably be the Issuing
of writ of habeas corpus. This will TAX 3
the Place of preliminary examination and
will probably be held in Blount county
Tunstall is now under arrest, in compliance
with warrant issued by Judge Davidson
the judge of probate of Blount county. At
his request Tunstal is confined i'll Brming-
ham for safe keeping.
Tunstall repeated yesterday what he had
said before; that he shot Judge Hamilton
last Friday in seif-defense. He claims that

ByeTs the latter drew knife and he Cun-
stalD walked away, at the same time pick
ing up rock to protect himself
After he had arrived at his home, the con-
stable Mr.. Byers and Judge Hamilton came
to arrest him. They ordered him to coma
out of his house and surrender, but this he
refused to do, as they did not say they had
warrant for him or that they wanted
to arrest him. While he was still standing

men hred on him, severely injurng his
arm. He claims that all of his family were

Tunstall is over 50 years old and came
originally from Hall county, where he was
slave of the Tunstau family in that Sec
ton. In Blount county he is said to have
always been a very orderly, quiet negro
though his children have given him lot
of trouble.

Good Feeling Ia the Orient

Washington, July T.-dn diplomatic quar-
ters concerned with the affairs OF China
and Japan it is said tnat the old hl-feeiinS
between the countries, dating long before
the war and made more acute by that
struggle, recently has been ob4itcrated by
several graceful and significant courtesies
exchanged between the emperor of China
and the emperor OF Japan. The latter was
the first to extend the olive branch by con-
fclring on the emperor of Chna the deco
ration of the highest order in Jaan. Re
Gently the emperor OF China has returned
the compliment by decorating the emperor
Of Japan with the highest order of China
Another recent mark OF restored good feel
ing is the sending of many Chinese students
to Japan for modern educs ton. Thisae
os good feeling OF the orient was referred
10 at tie legations here IN connection with
ire re.orts from Pe4sin as to the visit OF
TIE JaIanesa admiral and squadron and
the probaoie consummation of Japan

Denver, Col, July 27.-Gus Rubin and
George Lawler met before the Olympic club
tonight for a twenty round go, the former
scoring a knockout in the ninth round. 1t
was poor exhibition SO far as science was
concerned. LAWYERS ability to take punish-
inent was the only creditable feature of the
affair. Ruhiin forced the fighting from the
first and seemed to land where he wished
when his arms were free from LAWYERS
cincheS
In the first round both men gouged from
the first blow and the crowd demanded
that the fight should go on for the benefit
of the crowd. In the second LAWYER went
down with a right on the jaw and stayed
down till ten was counted, but the referee
did not call him out. In the third round
LAWYER was knocked through the ropes.
After thet he went down repeatedly to
avoid punishment, and in the ninth he
failed to rise promptly and was declared

BIRMINGHAM BRANCH
Of the Royal Arch Will Be Organized
Here

C. 7. Hodgman and C. A. Desimoni. two
representatives of the national order of
the Knights of the Royal Arch, are In the
city for the purpose of organizing a Biz
mngham lodge OF that order. 1t is an or
ganization confined exclusively to liquor
men and their employees. and has many at
tractive insurance, social benevolent and
ritualisttc features
This order is now organized in about
fourteen states of the union, and is grow
ing very rapidly. Mr., Hodgman and Mr..
Desimoni have just completed the organi-
cation of five lodges in Georgia. at Savan-
nah Macon, Brunswick. Atlanta and Au-
gusta. Before that they organized Ten
nessee.
1t is argued that there is a great need
for an order of this kind. Liquor men are
barred from most organizations, which is
a great hardship on them. Local organiza-
lions of saloon men sometimes accomplish
good, but trey can have no insurance fea-
lures, and can not have the power of a
national organization. 1t is said this order
has done good work in Tennessee (Chatta-
nooga) getting rigid liquor laws repealed.
1t is further argued that strong organi-
cation in Alabama would be very success
fui in fighting tho dispensary and other
such laws. The national headquarters of
the organization are at Hot Springs, Ark.
The organizers mentioned above will
work up interest in their order in Bpning
ham this week. and meeting for the or
ganizatiou of local lodge will be called
for next week. Mr.. Hodgman and Mr..
Desimoni will probably be in Birmingham
for three or four weeks after which they
Will qeave for other cities in Alabama.
