MINISTER ENTERS
 RAGE FOR GOVERNOR
THE REV. w. D. GAY OF MONTGoM- FRY WILL TRY TO BE ELECTED ON PROHIBITION TICKET AND IS MAKING ACTIVE CANVASS.

Montgomery June Especial 1.-The Rev. w. D. Gay, better known as Pas tor Gay of the Adams Street Baptist church in Mont gomery, announces as candidate for governor on the prohibition platform. There is no primary in MT. Gays political plans, for he has been prohibition party man all the while, but he professes to see in the purified and elevated electorate of the new constitu- tion, a chance for a party with a moral issue at this time.
 MT. Gay resigned his pastorate of the church sometime ago after an ineffect- ual effort to run the church on purely scriptural lines, with tithes. no salaries for anybody. and a perfect reliance on Christ instead of the doctors for the healing of human ills. He practiced what he preached in his own house. hold. and travelled widely healing the sick by prayer, anointing and the laying on of hands. He has long been a familiar figure on the streets of Montgomery, where he preached and practiced divine healing He is an attractive personality, young, blue-eyed, rosy checked, erect or medium height, always happy and smil- ing. as fair a specimen of an Anglo Saxon as Alabama affords. He Is well fixed so far as this worlds goods are concerned. and Is not therefore dependent on the public favor which he has not succeeded in winning for his especial tenets.
 MT. Gay is already in the field making an active canvass, and says he will cover the state as completely as he can.

answer and Senator Patterson took the witness asking if Aguinaldo had ever talked to him on the basis of selling out to the Americans The admiral replied in the negative and MT. Patterson then asked if the Philippine leader had ever asked him for money. The reply was that Aguinaldo had asked him to ex- change gold for Mexican dollars.
 ''I was pretty sure as to where he had gotten the dollars, as he had not brought them with him." said the admiral, and I thought the fact that he wanted gold as a pretty good indication that he was getting ready to leave That was one thing which made me think that the man was feathering his own nest; but 1t was only a suspicion

The Overcoat Was There

A misguided young drummer once
had the unheard of nerve to enter
upon his expense account, Zone
overcOat, $l5."
Naturally he was taken severely
to task for having done such thing,
and at the conclusion of somewhat
lengthy reprimand, the head of the
house added: I'VE will pay you a
salary and expenses so long as you
continue to give satisfac ton, but,
Heavens, mani we do not propose to
clothe you"
The now penitent young man made
an abiect apology for having made
so grave mistake, and earnestly
promised to avoid such in the flu
ture.
Just one year later the senior part
ner happened to be reviewing the
same young mans expense account,
and it also happened that the young
man was again present.
With faint suggestion of smile
lowering around his mouth, the old
man said:
"Well, John, l notice you have
left off the overcoat this year from
your expense account"
II beg your pardon" said the
drummer, "but you are very much
mistaken. The overcoat is there,
but not quite so prominent this time.
