A Fa1lacious Idea.
Jasper Eagle.

Jasper EagIe. -. Is4--
 The idea advanced by The Bessemer Herald-Journal that the daily news paper with its weekly edition pauperizes the publishers of country weeklies. is fal- lacious: that is. if the country weekly will confine itself to the one field it is capable of flling-the local field giving home news. No country weekly can supply the field of the big weekly and the big weekly cannot encroach upon the field of it's country cousin. The Eagle always recommends to its patrons that they take one or more of the large weeklies. if they are so situated that they cannot take a daily. The country weekly and the city weekly have distinctively sepa- rate fields to fill and it is foolishness for one to attempt to supply that of the other.

Jesse Stall ings was here few days ago. but no one was able to determine his business. How. ever, since 1t has been announced through the State press that he will run for Congress. his trip to Bay Minette is easily explained. Jess can not carry Baldwin County over Wiley and besides Baldwin will have candidate of Its own at the proper time.
 Hon. William A. Collier of Clinton is in Bay Minette. and in a conversation with your correspondent on the subject of State primaries, he outlined a plan which he is confident would be satis- factory one to the Democratic party. His idea is for each county to call a mass meeting of the Democrats, and let these mass meetings decide by vote whether or not State primary is wanted or whether the people desire to have a State convention as heretofore. This would determine the sentiment all over the State, and executive committee should then be governed accordingly.
