BAY ANNETTE
Jeiks Will Have Big Majority in Bald
 win County.

May Minette August 23.-(Special)- Summing up the political situation in this county, the indications are that Jeiks will have an overwhelming majority and Dr. Cunningham will. of course have practi- cally the same vote. Conservative esti- mates place the majority at about 400. In the minor state offices it is an impossibil- ity to make anything like a correct esti- mate. For superintendent of education the race will be between Cory and liar ris. and for secretary of state, it is gen. orally understood that Heflin will be the leader, and for attorney general Wilson will probably get the biggest vote with Garber a vote close to Wilson.
 In county affairs the candidates for rep resentatives are making the biggest fight, and the county, though the largest in the state, has been thoroughly canvassed by all parties. The race Is a three-cornered one with Charles Mcconnell. D. C.. Byrne and Thomas M. McMillan the contestants. It Is an acknowledge fact by almost every one in position to know, that Mcconnell will get the smallest vote of the three and the fight is principally between Byrne and McMillan.

ALL FACTIONS ARE
 AGREED ON LONDON
PROMINENT LAWYERS cANDI- DAcY HAS STRUCK A REsPoN- sIVE CHORD AND FRIENDS ARE CONFIDENT OF HIS ELECTION.

In discussing Mr London's candidacy yesterday a prominent business man re- marked: When the Age-Herald sug- gested editorially last May that Alex T. London would make an excellent man in the state legislature. 1t was not gen erally thought and believed that so busy lawyer and a man with such varied interests as MT. London is could afford to devote the time and attention that legislative work would demand. It was acknowledged on every hand that man of such high standing in the pro- fessional world would make an ideal legislator, but the only question was whether he could be induced to accept the nomination; whether he would be willing to deprive his regular business of the time required for public life.
 But upon the urgent solicitation of his friends MT. London has announced him self as a candidate and the announce ment has struck a responsive chord throughout the whole country People ad- mire a man of his kind. They know he is honest: they know he is absolutely fear 1ess they know he has decided views on subjects of public interest and further more they know he offers himself as a candidate not for the sake of glory or pecuniary recompense, but rather be- cause he believes he can be of service to his country and state"
 There seems to be no doubt but that MT. London will be elected by sweep ing majority, for words of encourage ment and commendation are coming in from every section of the country. Peo- pie believe that 1t is with such men as MT. London in the legislature that the tone of that body will be elevated He seems to be the one candidate that all factions seem to have agreed upon and determined to elect.

Mission furniture is steadily in
creasing in popularity. and now il is
not an unusual thing to see entire
houses fitted up after the unique and
picturesque style of the old missions.
Ii is particularly appropriate for coun-
try houses. and 1t may be mentioned
also that the girl who is going TO fur
nish a studio this winter cannot possibly
find anything more artistic and thor
oughly satisfactory than this plain
treatment of weathered oak
There are great big desks, or more
properly speaking tables, supplied with
convenient number of drawers having
dull brass handles, and a broad smooth
top urencumbered with pigeonholes,
and all that sort of useless obstruction.
These desks are decidedly substantial
in appearance. and besides are an orna-
ment to any den or library. A chair to
go with such a piece of furniture would
also be stained with attractive greenish
brown, known to the trade as weathered
Cak, and it might be finished with slat
bottom constructed with wide leather
bands. Whatever the shape, you may
count upon ii that II is not only COM
Portable, but possesses no unnecessary

+ oNG before the announcement was
made, quite recently, that Mrs.
IL Roosevelt had turned the atten-
tion of the summer young woman
TO the old-fashioned sunbonnet by
choosing this quaint style of head cover
ing during her walks through the garden
aud grounds of Sycamore Hill. its pic
turesqueness and usefulness had been
fully appreciated by many feminine low
ers OF outdoor games and pleasures.
Nevertheless, the fact that the wife of
our Chief Executive finds this quaint o,n-
fection of muslin and ace-edged frills
comfortable to wear for certain purposes
and by no means an unattractiye substi-
tute for the ordinary garden hat. GER
tainiy adds much TO the popularity OF
the revived fashion.
AS a matter Of fact, the old fashioned
sunbOnnet, whether It is of plain checked
gingham or elaborately adorned with
frills and flounces. is = decidedly becon-
ing article, and for this very reason
many OF the younger set have adopted
il altogether for the occasions upon
which its peculiar characteristics are
considered suitable.

1t is difficult to describe definitely
these beautiful costumes. though the de-

quite evident that coats were very mo-

them was that they were elaborate TO a
degree.
Another fashion which has developed
since the summer colony established
itself at Newport is the plumed hat

Such little fashions are intended only
for the unconventional young woman
who is enjoying cut door life. and she
may be the most dignified kind of a
