J. H. NunneiIe Retires From Race for
 Secretary of State.

Selma, October 3o.-(specfai.)-An Age Herald correspondent met J. H. Nun nehe this morning and asked him if 1t was true that since his appointment as circuit clerk of Dallas County he would not be a candidate for secretary of state before the next Democratic state conven- tion. MT. Nunnelle made the following characteristic reply:
 .'Yes. 1t is fact that I am out of the race for secretary of state. I have never written but one letter in reference to my candidacy for the office. and that was to a gentleman in Attalla; therefore I will not have many letters to write stating that am no longer in the race. I have had assurances from leading men all over the state that they would support me for secretary of state and feel grateful to them for their proffers of support My public reason for not wanting the posi- tion is that 1t Is the poorest paid office at the capital. and I do not believe that could live decenly in Montgomery on $1SOO a year. retire from the race with almost the practical assurance that I would have won out"

SHEFFIELD.
Albert Caskey Has an Artificial Eso-
 phaeus. But Is Growing Fat.

Sheffield, October 30-(Special.) IA skill ful feat of surgery was recently per formed here. Eight weeks ago a young man by the name of Albert Caskey was brought to Sheffield whose esophagus had been completely stopped up by stricture located three or four Inches from the stomach. The stoppage was so complete that for seven days no water had been taken into the system and the patient was practically mummihed. In his desperation he had attempted to force an opening with a peach switch and had thereby further in1amed and com plicated the injury in the esophagus. Af- ter thorough examination Dr. H. w. Blair of this place to whom the young man had appealed for an operation, determined that it. was impossible for him to be nourished through the mouth. He made a diagonal incision. about three inches long Just over the stomach, lifted the other organs aside, caught hold of the walls of the stomach and carried a small portion out through a small orif1ce to the left and little above the incision. He then stitched the fold of the stomach that was drawn through the orifice, care fully and closely to the outer skin and then made an opening in the stomach. A tube was then inserted through this opening into the stomach and liquid nourshment was administered in small quantities for several days. As the pa tient fattened and grew strong, the nour- ishment was increased. Having desire to eat, he was permitted to chew his food and it was carried from his mouth to his stomach through the tube that is used in feeding. He can now sit up to the table with heaping plate of corn bread and biscuit, cabbage and roast beef and other like viands and with wonderful celerity can reduce them to a thorough state of mastication and convey them through his rubber esophagus into his stomach. He is now fat and hearty and says his food tastes as well. digests as easily and satisfies him as completely as 1t used to when 1t found its way into his intestines by way of his throat

Bessemer, October 3o-(SpeciaL)-The postoffice and carriers of the rursl deliv- cry are making preparations for the in- auguration of the service on the 18th of next month.
