FAITH CURE
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 There is a remarkable healer in Missouri who, for the sum of one dollar. professes to cure poverty by absent treatment" At a given hour the healer concentrates his best thought on the patient, who has simply to keep his mind in passive or receptive state and abstain from lending money. A skeptical patient paid the dollar and tried the cure, but felt none of the promised ef- fects But hundreds of testimonials are given by the healer to vindicate his system. One remarkable cure was that of a poor young man who says that the professor s treatment changed the vibrations of my mind permanently. I shall never again be satisfied with small weekly salary. Fame and fortune are my great desire now -.

From the Marion Standard.
 The Age-Herald announces that General Louis V. Clark may become candidate for the legislature from Jefferson. Just such men as General Clark are needed as law makers and Jefferson could not select a better man. General Clark is not only pop u1ar at home, but throughout the state. He is a brother of the lamented Gaylord B. Clark, of Mobile, one of the brainiest men the state ever produced.

RIFLE CTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 When a woman really cries she wabbles her elbows.
 The men ought to get up a Rainy Day club and all wear their pants too short
 No man gets good treatment from his wife unless he almost breaks her heart about once every three weeks.
 When a girl thinks a man looks like he wants to kiss her she covers up her eyes so she can't see whether he really is going to or not till it is too late
 It's a funny thing that woman often knows a man who reminds her of her hus- band, but man never meets a woman who reminds him of h.s wife.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS UNDER THE LAy

To the EOtlOT Ol He <A5S-iiSiSiN- In your editorial of February ', headed Contest in Russell County" you say: .'The contest has been adjourned to Feb ruary 21, when the questions raised will be determined, with a possibility, even probability, that new primaries under the Pettus law will be held" From this and similar expressions I have frequently seen in the public print, I am led to infer that there exists a popular misapprehension as to the meaning and effect of section of the primary election law tp. 126 pamphlet general acts. 1S9S-'99).
 This section reads as follows: "Section g. Be 1t further enacted. that the provisions of this act shall not be con- strued as making primary elections as the means of selecting its nominees obligatory upon any political party in this state."
 The general impression seems to be that this or some other section of the law makes 1t optional whether a primary election shall or shall not be governed by the provisions of thss law.
 But the obvious meaning and intent of the section above quoted is to make the plan of selecting its nominees, 1. e., by beat meetings, mass meetings, conventions. primary elections er/ what not, optional with the party authorities. When they have once ordered primary election, how ever such election must necessarily be held under the primary election law.
 Section one of the law reads in part as follows:
 Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Alabama, that it shall be uu- chase or offer to purchase. for money or other valuable considerations. the vote of any voter in any so-called primary election of any recognized political party" etc.
 Any so-called primary election" means every so-called primary election. It is not left to the whim and caprice of every com- miteee to say whether or not their primary election shall be held under the primary election law. The matter an this regard that alone remains within their discretion is to decide whether or not their nominees shall be selected by primary election or otherwise. Having once decided on the former plan the election must perforce be governed by the provisions of the law.
 If the primary election law has been vio- lated in Russell there Is work for the next grand jury of that county.
 It would be well for the Age-Herald to correct the popular misapprehension that seems to exist in regard to this law, and to cali the attention of the people to the fact that, until the law is amended or re- peaied, whenever they vote in sany so- called primary election of any recognized x~ont,.ai tyD in fhis stata ahay arc ing subject to the restrictions, penalties, and provisions of the primary election law adopted by the last legislature at its regu- lar session.
