GENEROUS DONATIONS
BUSINESS MEN GIVE TO SOL
 DIERS' HOME,
J. D. Hand Offers 0,OOo Shingles and B. L. Holt Sends Carload of Brick-Shrubberry
 and Plants.

Camn Jeff Falkncr the builder of the Soldiers Home for helpless and needy Confederate Veterans receives daily gen erous gifts for the home. The cause IS one that appeals cloquently to the people of Alabama.
 The liberal donations that continually come to Captain J. NJ. Falkner, who gave tbc land and who is leading in the move mcut for the Home show that the people uf the State are in hearty accord With the Camp in it's noble undertaking.
 Captain Falkncr was yesterday notified bv J. b. Hand the well known lumber man of Dolive that he proposed to give 50oO0 shingles towards the building Of the Home. Colonel Barry l.. Holt. q leading business man of Montgomery and Quartermaster-Genera of the Ala hama National Guard has informed Colo nel FaIkner that he would donate to the Home a car load of brick. The Annis- ton Stone and Lime Company recently rave to the Home carload of lime. These donations evidence the co-opera- ton and assistance that the Camp is receiving.
 Captain Falkncr has also received from Colonel A. A. Wiley, Representative of the Second District in Congress lot of garden and grass seed, shrubbery and other plants to bo used in beautifying the grounds about the Home. The fol- lowing is the correspondence between Colonel Wiley and Captain Falkncr:
 Washington, D. C., April l. 1902. Colonel J. NJ. Falkner, Montgomery Ala;
 My Dear Sir and Friend-ln addition to the many expressions of thankfulness which y6u' have received from an ap- prccfativc public, permit me also to lender my tribute of praise to you for your generous and patriotic gift, i'll the form of a valuable and desirable tract of land near Montgomery for the erection of d comfortable home for the aged and helpless Confederate soldiers. This bene- faction is worthy of its warm-hearted and courageous donor.
 The General Government makes munl- ficent provision for dependent and dis abled federal soldiers, by paying them liberal pensions and admitting them into National Soldiers Homes; the money to pay these pensions and to build these Homes coming from the South as well as the North The disabled Confederate veteran, in his old age and infirmity. without food. shelter or raiment. finds th,, door to these Homes shut in his face. and as he battled for "cause that was lost" he cannot of course, rely for sub sfstance upon Federal bounty or charity commonly called a pension.

 In the general homework department on this morning. cleaning lamps was the study and the practical work of so doing was going on when lecture on the sub- ject was in progress.
 The work which showed up best of all in result was that seen in the sewing department, where the members of a large sewing class were making garments that will at the end of the school year be put on exhibition and be for sale. The parents of the girl who has made gar ment have first privilege of purchasing it, an opportunity of which they almost always avail themselves.
 In the cooking department and the nurse training department, the same prac- fical teaching goes on, connecting the school with the home and it's duties. One apartment of this school contains circu- Iating library of 2,50O volumes. which. Miss White says. is great source of pleasure and benefit to the pupils.

This was false, but if that contest had been conducted as contests are conducted In the House of Representatives, by scrutiny or elec- tions in every County and precinct or the State, my first term would. probably have been consumed in that inquiry. At the end of it l would have been voted out by d party vote and no Democrat would have been permitted to occupy that seat to this day. Jerry Haralson, or Ben Gee, or some other white man, not so worthy as either of therl would have occupie 1 the seat all this time-a very long time. "I am not yet prepared to destroy a work that cost our fathers so much and such laborious care, to adopt a system that is really not peeded to bring the people into more immediate contact with the choice of Senators.
 "The system of primary elections. now accepted as the best and safest for the country. gives the people fuil control or the choice of Senators.
 The principle on which primary elec- tons arc based is that of careful scruti- ny of candidates by the people, with an election to follow, in which that exami- nation is repeated As too careful an ex- animation cannot he made into such mat ters, the principle Is correct in govern- ment
 This Is the leading purpose of the electoral colleges in the chpice of Presi- dent and Nicc-President and 1t is very wise.
