 Jackson and Morgan. .tz Huntsville. July 1s.-(Special)--The all- absorbing topic among the politicians of this city just now Is the announcement of ex-Governor Joseph F. Johnston for Governor, and Hon. Charles F. Waller for Lieutenant Governor. The strength of Governor Johnston and his running mate in the Eighth Congressional Dis trict is problematical. They may carry Lauderdale. Jackson and Morgan coun- ties, but the remaining counties, including Madison are. strong for Governor Jelks and Dr. R. M Cunningham. Dr. Cum ningham is a native of Lawrence Coun- ty and was reared there and this fact as we'll as his wide acquaintance among the people of the section Insure him the sup port of a majority of the northern tier of counties.
 It is likely that Governor Johnston will wage a, vigorous campaign in Madison County. Until his contest with. Senator Morgan and his opposition to the Consti- tutional Convention. Governr Johnston was strong here. but since then his fol- lowing has dwindled away to mere handful of machine politicians. A tale of curious good luck comes from New Market, An old lady whD is known 10 Iseep large sums or money m ner house. decided to spend the day away Before her departure she had a pre- sent ment that she had better take her monay with her. The feeling was so strong that when she left home, she had the entire sum. $i00. concealed on her pcrssas When she returned home 1t was found that her house had been entered and ransdcked and the trunk in which the money had been kept was. missing. The lady has since made her first deposit in bank.
 The threatened water famine among the misunderstanding plants of the city has been averted.: Since the passage of an ordinance on Tuesday night regulating the use of lawn sprinkiers and imposing a fine for allowing hydrants to run. there has been plenty of water and the. pres sure from the reservoir is normal in all parts of the city.

: .-fne combination between Charlie Waller and Joe Johnston, the two states meh with personal grievances. does not seem to b. thoroughly understood by the geferal public" remarked a thoughtful politician to your correspondent this morning Waller is mad because the Democracy of Alabama did not see Tt to elevate him to the gubernatosial ofiice when the lamented Sanford was nomiha- ted. and Johnston has a grievance be-. .cause that same convention did not en- dorse his sdmini, trstion. as had been the custom with other Governors who had preceded him: Johnston ought to have sense enough to know that the conven- tion, which was composed largely of Morgan men, was In no humor Nto say anything about his administration. and he did well to get on by having his name ignored altogether Waller aired his sore toe on> the way back to Selma. and wac ahusing everybody who did not vote for him for Governor.
 My diagnosis of the fvo sore eandi- dates is this: Waller wanted to run for Governor, but nobody urged him to ei,- ter the race.

A most wonderful natural Cor unnatur- n) phenomenon occurred in the western part of the county on the night of July .. About 9 o'clock the people were at tracted and frightened by dull roaring sound coming apparently from clear sky The sound seemed to come from the southeast and died away in the north west Immediately afterwards peculiar looking insects began to fall. They fell until the houses and earth were covered with them. They were in a dying condi- tien when they fell and lived only few minutes afterwards. The next morning 1t was found that hogs and chickens would eat them with as much relish as if they were corn The bodies look like a young wasp before 1t leaves the nest, but It's wings look like the wings of a dragon .fsv.
