Friends Of Ex-GOH Johnston
Meet al Auditorium
B, M, ALLEN COUNTY MANAGER
Committee of the Seventh Congress
slonaI District Is Called to Meet
at Florence Hotel Next
Saturday, the 26th.

The opening guns in the campaign for
governor will be fired tonight at the Au-
ditorium, when the friends of Former
Governor Johnston viii rally to listen to
speeches from E. M. Robinson of Mobile
and Former Congressman Jesse F. STALL
ings of GreenvlIe Mr. Johnston him
self will of course be present and will
no doubt be called on for a speech The
meeting takes place at eight o'clock
There was little change in the political
situation yesterday. The only important
announcement made from either head
quarters was that from the Johnston
side that Judge B. M. Allen would man.
age his campaign in this county. Judge
Allen made a reputation as a campaign
manager when he directed the first cam
paign of Mayor w. M. Drennen, when
he was running for that position.
Birmingham promises to be the storm
centre of politics during the coming cam
paign, and the mecca of all politicians.
With both gubernatorial candidates OPEN
ing headquarters here as well as the dis
trict and county committees 1t is not
surprising that o. r. Hood chairman of
the Democratic committee of the Seventh
congressional district should have called
his committee to meet in Birmingham on
next Saturday the Goth. The committee
will meet at the Florence hotel and will
determine upon a method of selecting
Democratic candidate for the Fifty-eighth
congress from that district, and such
other business as will come before it,
With the primary germ in the air 1t is
safe to say that the committee will fall
in line with the other committees which
have acted on this question heretofore
and order a primary.
Chairman Samuel d. Weakley of the
Jelks committee is busy arranging the
preliminary matters of the campaign. He
was out of the city most of yesterday
having been called to Jasper on import
ant business. Before leaving, however
Mr.. Weakley announced that he would
name his state campaign committee to-
day
Chairman N. p. Renfroe of the Johnston
committee reached Birmingham from
Opelika yesterday and at once went TO
work in the Morris hotel rooms used as
the Johnston headquarters.
Mr.. Johnston will be at Montgomery
tomorrow night where he will attend a
meeting of his supporters and make. an
address.

WESLEYAN FEMALE COLLEGE,
Macon, Ga.

This college. which has the honor of
being the oldest college in the world for
women is one of the very few institu-
lions in the South that are doing real,
high-grade, college work. The teachers
in its literary. music. art, and elocution
departments are all specialists, and
have been carefully selected from two
continents
The institution had nearly four nun
dred students last year, and did not have
vacant room in its boarding depart
ment, though a new thirty thousand
dollar dormitory accommodating one hun
bred additional students, had just been
erected Another big overflow is in
sight for this fall, and the trustees have
authorized the erection of another build
ing. Young ladies who desire admission
to this time honored institution will do
well to write early to the president, Dr.
j. w. Roberts.
The Wesleyan has seven large rooms
devoted to the department of natural
sceince alone. Its chemical laboratory
is one of the finest In the South The
college is fortunate in this respect. for
every educator knows that natural
science cannot be taught without proper
apparatus and equipment.

The mule is ready to begin work two
or three years earlier than the horse.
He can be put to pretty heavy pulling
when he is three years old. and from
that time until he is forty, If he has
fair treatment and does not meet with
an accident, he is not likely to lose any
time. He is not subject to the many
ailments to which the horse Is a vic
tim, at least not to any great degree.
He lives about twice as long, and his
actual period of usefulness Is nearly
three times as long, for the horse Is
really not fit for heavy service until he
is five years old or after he is twenty,
while mule will often do good service
for forty years, and they have been
known to work fifty, according to one
writer, without being turned out at
any time during all that long period.
Like the ass, the mule will live upon
next to nothing, and during all his for
ty years of hard service a mule will
not require-and generally does not get
half the feed necessary to sustain a
horse during his much shorter period
of usefulness.

No city in the world has so many
statues and monuments as Paris, and
every day sees Il new project for new
statue or bust. 1t Is curious to note in
this connection that large proportion
of the famous men honored in this way
came to their end by violence in some
form or other. Many of them died on
the scaffold, and a stroll through the
Paris streets may give the philosopher
food for reflection on the mutability of
human judgment. Danton and La
voisier were guillotined, Jeanne dare
and Etienne Delet were burned at the
stake, Henry ". was murdered,
Etienne Marcel was also assassinated,
Marshal Ney was shot, Condorcet COM
mitted suicide to escape the scaffold,
and these are only a 1.-THE of those that

A Costly Finger.


A Dresden paper relates an amusing
anecdote. An old gentleman, a men,
ber of the landtag, lately slightly hurt
his finger. Not troubling to go to his
doctor, he asked a medical colleague
what he ought to do and was told tc
give his finger soap bath" On the
following day he was much surprised
to receive from his friend a note for
medical consultation; the amount, 10
marks"
He then spoke to another colleague.
a lawyer, complaining. His legal
friend said 1t was strange conduct;
but, should it come to q legal question,
he would be obliged to pay and had
better do so at once. The day after
the old gentleman's astonishment was
still greater on receiving from this
friend a note claiming 10 marks for
illegal advice"
Quite angry, he appealed to the COM
mission, a body which settles all per-
sonal disputes of the members Of the
landtag. What was his disgust when
the commission found that he had be-
haved badly in refusing just demands
and condemned him to make amends
by paying he fine of n basket of cham
pagne! The finger, which was mean
time perfectly healed, had cost him
dear
