 No President for Ten Hours.
 Tt is not easy to mark the point where development in any given theory ceases and gives place to decay. On the night of March 3, 1901, President John Adams abdicated the Presidency some ten hours perhaps before the legal limit of his term. There was no President for ten hours. It was an abdication nevertheless that was not provided by law. President Adams being Tory, or Nationalist, or Whg, as you may prefer, resolved not to see the sun rise in Washington upon the success sion of a Democrat, Thomas Jefferson by name, to the office of highest rank in America. Thus of mind resentful, he took to his carriage on his way back to Mas sachusetts, about midnight of March 3, 1891, and was well off on the Baltimore road when sunrise of March arrived with authority for Jefferson's succession to the Presidency.
 Bryan fought Jefferson's battle over again one hundred years later. Mckinley represents John Adams avenged. What next?
 "None can foresee whether the sublima- ted American idea embodied in the original movement. the Declaration of Independ- ence, has eliminated and is now on the descent back toward the one eternal fact that might makes right. We don't know We can't know. Hanna, and Cleveland and Bryan are with us.

Washington and Lincoln had their day respectively. They impersonated exactly opposite ideas of political government. They were the pro- ducts respectively of institutions that went to war, the most gigantic of wars. The war ceased Where is the upset idea so bouyant January l, 1891, in Jefferson?"
 Alabama Genius.
 Another Alabamian who is winning noteworthy success away from home is Miss Adelaide Everhart, who now resides in Georgia" said a man who Is most pleased when Alabamians succeed.
 Trustworthy word comes that Miss Everhart is now producing some most ex- cellent work, chiefly in portraits, and she has received a number of profitable and al- together desirable commissions of late, including portraits of several notable Ala bamians, Georgians, and Kentuckians. Thus it would seem that the fair young Alabamian's fortune is assured, and this will be pleasing to the numberless friends of the Everhart family. Miss Everhart is the lovely sister of the gifted Mrs Robert Cunningham of Birmingham, who was Miss Susie Everhart of Montgomery, daughter of the late Rev Dr. Everhart, an Episco- pal clergyman and famous educator of the recent past. These fair gentlewomen have a brother, George Eyerhart. who is one of the most promising young men in the navy"
 Booker Washington's Manners.
 Booker Washington reminds me some- what of John s. Wise in his personal ap- pearance, though he is more dignified and
