The adoption of uniform primary

The adoption Of a uniform primary
plan, as the method OF making
Democratic nominations in the State
was agreed upon at the last Demo
cratic State Convention held in Nor
folk, as indicated by the following
resolution passed by that body;
We declare ourselves as favorinR
the principle OF the selection OF party
candidates by primary elections, be.
lieving this to be the surest method
of arriving at the will of the people
and maintaining Democratic institu'
tions.
We accordingly direct the State
Central Committee to provide a pri
mary election plan for the choice OF
party candidates for the United
States Senate and for all elective
officers, and for members OF the
House of Representatives OF the
United States; for members OF the
General Assembly, and for county
and municipal officers, except where
no party nominations are made and
except In the case of county and mu-
nicipal officers where for special rea'
sons, the local party authorities deem
it expedient. And the party plan OF
organizations In 50 far as the same
may conflict with any OF the above
requirements is hereby altered to
that extent.
The meaning OF the resolution, as
will be noted, is susceptible of but
one Interpretation, nor can the right
of the members composing the Con-
vention in giving the pledge con-
tanned in it be questioned. nor can
there be any doubt as to the justice OF
a plan which permits the great body
OF the people, rather than a few poll
ticians, to name the men who shall
fill their offices from the q. s. Sena-
tor 10 the most Insignificant place in
the Commonwealth, but the Martin
men, say those prominent in Demo-
cratic political circles, in spite Of
these facts and in defiance OF the
action OF the State Convention, are
active in their efforts to antagopize
the Senatorial plan and will en-
deavor to so dominate the State
Committee as to prevent the will Of
the people, as expressed in the Nor
folk Convention, from being carried
out.
That the Martin machine Is thus
disposed to ignore their wishes, OF
course, occasions no surprise. AS
soon might we expect the leopard to
change its spots as to see it run in
any other way than in the interest
of the few who compose it, but
whether enough members OF the
State Committee can be controlled
by it to subvert the will OF the peo-
pie il another question and their
action, therefore, in the matter will
be watched with interest Blu.
whatever the decision OF the Com
mittee may be no one can doubt, az
ter the manner in which the people
spoke in the last Gubernatorial fight,
what the result eventually will be.
1t is to be hoped though, whatever
their liking may be for the old
machine, that they may have the
wisdom to see that the people are
not in a mood to be trified with and
that they cannot afford to precipitate
another factional struggle by a de
cision adverse to their rights.

They tell me you work for dollar day!
How is it you cothe your boys on such pays
1 know you will think it conceited and queer.
But do it because am good fnancier.
There's Pete, John and Jim Joe, William and Ned,
A half uozen boys to be clothed and fed;
/ buy for them all plain vctuals to eat,
But clothes buy only for our son Pete.
When Pete's clothes are too small for him to 60
My wife makes them and gives them to John
When for John who is ten they have grown out OF date
She just makes them for Jim who is eight,
When for Jim they have become too ragged to Tx,
She just makes them over for Bill who is six,
And when for young Bill they will no longer DO,
She just makes them over over for Ned who is two
SO you see if get the good clothing for Pete
The family is furnished with clothing complete,
But when Ned got through with the clothing and when
He has thrown them aside what do you do with them?
Why once more we go round the circle complete
And begin to them for patches for Pete,
But where dear friend you buy clothes that wear
From Pete down to Ned without rip or tear?
l 90 down to GLICK'S-his stock is the BEST
He can suit the whole family my wife and the rest

A LONG CHASE
AFTER 2s YEARS THE MAN
 WANTED WAS CAPTURED.
He Lived for Many Years Near Mont gomery in Elmore County. All Witnesses Dead and He
 Will Likely Go Free.

After being a fugitive from justice for twenty-eight years, during which time he was a respected citizen of three States. A, P. Brady was ar- rested last Friday for a murder com mitted in Texas twenty-eight years ago.
 The old saying that truth Is stranger than fiction is exemplified in a strik- ing degree In this case. and the story of the episode win read like an inter esting fairy story to several Mont gomerians and Alabamians.
 On the Colorado River in the year 1873, A. P. Brady and his brother got into dispute with man by the fiame of William l.. Dinsmore, whom they shot and killed. Both the brothers were arrested and put in jail. one of them afterwards turning States evi- dence and being released. The other brother broke jail. succeeded in escap- ing from the Lone Star State and began a long series of wanderings. He drst went to Louisiana. but remained there only a short time when he went to Ar kansas, moving from there to Millrcck, just across the river from Montgom- cry. He lived there for fourteen years and became well known and popular with nearly everybody in that section and numbers of people from Montgom- cry. All this time the Texas author ities were after him but he had them guessing. Being suspicious. however. that they would locate him after stay ing in Fillmore County so long he moved to Jackson, Miss. where he has since lived. being one of the prominent mer- chants of that city.
 About the time that he moved from Fillmore County to Jackson, MT. D. F. Moore, a young lawyer of this city. was given the case by the Texas authori- ties. and he has been working on the case in a quiet way ever since-the end of the chase fraught with success. Early last week MT. Moore notified the Texas authorities that he had located Brady in Jackson but the Texas Sher- .ff wired that some one would have to identify the suspect. MT. Moore sent c. H. Jennings of this city, to Jack son, Jennings having formerly known Brady, and the deputy sent from Texas and Mir. Moore concealed then- selves near Jennings's store. Brady at once remembered Jennings and greeted him pleasantiy-this was enough and the doomed man was put under arrest. The case is one that has few parallels every participant in the tragedy on the Texas border twenty-eight. years ago is dead. the law officers of that day are dead. as are all the witnesses of the affair. and 1t seems to be the opinion that Brady will be acquitted when his trial comes off.
 MT. Moore, however, has done what all the Texas officers were unable to do--locate and capture man wanted for Swenty-eight years.
