 What a remarkable tribute from fath- CT to son. That expression of faith was enough to quicken the young mans no- blest aspirations and call out the best that was in him. And how worthily he vindicated the confidence; to have inner ited to have deserved and to have ulfli- ed that recommendation from his fathers love and faith were better than any in heritance of lands and tenements, socks, bonds and money. Beloved of father, wife and children, beloved of his comrades in war and peace, and beloved of his coun- try, his whole life realized his fathers prophecy. and its words would adorn any monument to his fame"

TWO TICKETS
 FUR ELMORE
 DEMOCRATS Decision of State Democratic Committee Unsatisfactory F 1. M'NNz|E IS NOMINEE Does Not Recognize Action of the County Committee TROUBLE IS A SECTIONAL ONE 1alIassee in the Extreme East Wants Branch Court Established There, and the Dispensary Removed
 from Wetumpka.
Does Not Recognize Action of the County Committee
TROUBLE IS A SECTIONAL ONE

Montgomery, April 9.-(Special )-The action of the Elmore County committee yesterday in attempting to annul the ac- tion of the State committee in declaring F. L. Mckenzie the nominee for delegate to the constitutional convention in that county may cause two tickets to be run in the county.
 MT Mckenzie, the nominee, was in Montgomery today, and he stated to a representative of the Age-Herald that he had not recognized the attempt of the county committee to override the action of the State committee, and that he took no part in the county committee meet ing yesterday. MT. Mckenzie said how ever that he stood ready to obey any mandate of the supreme Democratic pow CTS
 A Sectional Fight.
 It is understood here that the fight in Fillmore is largely sectional one. MT. Mc- Kenzie Is from Tallassee in the extreme eastern portion of the county, while MT. Williams resides at Wetumpka. During the recent Legislature, Representative Stephen of Elmore, who is resident of Tallassee, attempted to establish branch court at Tallassee and remove the dis pensary from Wetumpka against the will of the citiens of the latter place. This very greatly enraged the citiens of We tumpka, and they have several times pub- licly remarked that never again should Tailassee be permitted to nominate citizen for county office.
 Under existing conditions and with out interference by the campaign com mittee, it looks very much as if both E. A. Williams and F. L. Mckenzie will run for delegate from Fillmore as the nominee of the Democratic party.
 The State campaign committee yester- day decided that they would put the name of F. L. Mckenzie on the official State ticket, and that they would pay no at tention to the action of the Elmore Coun- ty committee.

1t is said that the Nicarguan canal
bill will surely pass during the next
session OF congress. The bill is one Of
the most popular that is, or will be,
before the house, and its adoption
will be great thing for the United
States. There only remains in oppo-
sition to the bill, several trans.c onti-
mental railroads and some foreign
shipping interests. The opposition
plainly see the advantage the canal
will give American shipping and OF
course for a time at least, it will cut
into their trade, but it is to be hoped
that the bill will pass and the canal
will be built, as it will prove a great
benefit to the whole country.
