THE SNAKE IN THE MILK.

The Bessemer Workman is worried over a Virginia snake and milk story which has been going the rounds of the press lately. In brief the story, as we find it in The Richmond Dispatch runs this way:
 A countryman called at the store of Polk Miller yesterday morning with a pail of milk in which snake about six inch es long curled and wriggled.
 The countryman declared that the snake had made its appearance in the milk pail that morning, being passed from the COW in the milking operation.
 The truth of this story was vouched for by his daughter, who was in the act of milking when the snake made its weird appearance
 The countryman brought the milk and the snake to Polk Miller's store for apalysis and an opinion as to the avail ability of the milk for any use, coming as it evidently does from a nest of snakes.
 Referring to this story our Bessemer contemporary insidiously remarks:
 As the editor of The Advertiser is al- ways on the lookout for strange and weird stories from the "Old Dominion he will be able to secure the true his- tory of how that snake arrived in the milk bucket.
 We have reluctantly almost arrived at the conclusion that there's no use try ing to keep up with the Virginians and their newspapers. We suppose We all be- long to the same race, but we Ala bamians find it difficult to "get onto the curves of the Old Dominionites. So many weird, wild uncertain" things are said and done over there that we can't undertake to keep up with all of them.
 That snakes should be seen in Virginia during the mint julep season is not to be wondered at and it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that very small one should be swallowed by a COW and find itself In her milk reservoir. We are continually reading of cases where pin or needle works out from some portion of the human body and the only expla- nation the learned men can give is that the thing was swallowed long before, but how 1t found its way from the stomach out through the arm or leg can only be explained by those who can tell how a microbe travels from a mans stomach to the end of his nose. If these things oc. cur as we are assured they do. 1t is much more reasonable to suppose that a tiny snake might be swallowed by a COW and

CREAM of the SPECIALS

The only two expert politicians who are sincerely for Roosevelt are Senators Quay and Platt of New York. These men see in him an opportunity to fu, t5er their own ends. They are not 70 mae bound in their loyalty that they wouio not change if necessity required.
 It is understood General James 5 C;aTk- son, recently appointed surveyor oi the the port of New York. will soon go Iiso lne South in Roosevelt's interest. Ciarksoh is an old national committee eampaigner who has been rather discredited ol iate, but who was taken care of by senator Platt and who will do Platts bidding. On the other hand. every national cehlmls- teeman in the South Is Hanna man. There are not more than five nemoers ol the Republican National Committee mo will say honestly that Roosevelt sheuio be renominated
 As the matter now stands the people seem to be with Roosevelt and the poll ticians against him. It is two years pe- fore the nominating convention W;li De held and politicians can do a great deai in two years. Despite Hannas oandl- dacy it looks now, to the unpreJudiced observer, that Roosevelt would secure the nomination.

ROOSEVELT SURE OF NOMINATION
Presidents Friends Encouraged by Early Endorsement by Four
 States.

From Washington to Chicago Tribune. Friends of President Roosevelt here have derived a good deal of satisfaction from the fact that he has been specih- caly indorsed for renomination by the State conventisns in Minnesota, Missouri; Perr sylyana and Kansas. It IS unusuai for such inducements to De maue, espe- cialy so early in the campaign. The na- tional convention is nearly two years on and vet four States have gone before the usual perfunctory indorsement or an administration and have specihc1liy de- clared for the renomination of the Presi- dent. ,,,
 These decaarations, it is assumed, will be as binding on the States represented In the spring of 1904 when delegates are elected to the National Convention, as they now are. The result Is that two years in advance of the possibility of re- election Colonel Roosevelt is arsdred or a large block of votes In the next Repup- lican National Convention and so scat tered that they can scarcely fa'l to at tract to themselves other nearoy States.
 In the next National Convention the basis of representation will be fixed l'y the apportionment agreed upon for the next House of Representatives On this basis the next convention will consist or 952 delegates, exclusive of those from the Territories. Of these, Minnesota will have 22 Missouri. 36, Pennsylvania 6S, and Kansas 20. This makes total nu- cleus for President Roosevelt nearly two years in advance of the convention of l46 votes.
 Few Presidents have ever been assured of as much at such an early date, and the friends of President Roosevelt are accordingly greatly encouraged. Some little while ago they were seriously alarmed at the prospect of a machine made boom for Senator Hanna. and it is still assumed that West Virginia, where Ser ator Elkins runs pretty much every thing, will instruct it's delegates for Hanna. There will also be a number of Southern States which will also be count ed for the Ohio Senator provided he is in the field.
 On the other hand, it is assumed that the President will surely get the New These. coupled with the well known friendliness of States like Indiana, Illi- Eois, and Iowa. would put the President so far in advance of any other candidate as to insure his nomination.

find it's way to her udder and out through the natural channel. Besides. it is not at all unusual to find wiggle-tails and other water animals in milk. and if they don't come from the COW how do you account for themy You don't sup pose the milkman put lem in the milk, do you?
 The only really suspicious circumstance connected with the business is that the story came from Polk Miller. He is what Artemus Ward calls "a amoosin cuss.' and so in the habit of telling funny stories that be may have started this one out just to see how far 1t would get. The Dispatch has kept a rather still tongue on the subject, and that is also suspicious.

nounLE GOLDEN sYMBoL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole neld or newspaperdom which comes under Its notice. and one of these signs Ig the mystic symbol L0] denoting golden" which stands for high quality, and is thus explained:
 Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of It's circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with single sym bol; but there is a higher grade. according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL G0l to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol I00l and is the only paper 90 distinguished in this section of the South.

MT. Whitney is paying yearing thoroughbred sale last week, MT.

Fifty-two head of yearlings sold at this sale brought $102, $50. an average of S,96S. The Fasig-Tipton Company. conducting the sale. consider this very satisfactory; they also say that prices on horses are steadily increasing.

TAMMANY BEHIND

 Prem New York to Chicago Tribune.
 Senator Big Tim" Sullivan today helped along the guberf atorial boom of Colonel Daniel s. Lamont by declaring that Colonel Lamont would make a strong candidate ard could beat Governor Odell and all the issues the Republican managers have put forward" Senator Sullivan is the first prominent Tammany man to come out for Colonel Lamont, and when the Senator's present influence in the wagwam is considered the declara- ton is important.
 It is now generally understood in the inner Democratic circles that the reason ex-President Grover Cleveland came up from Princeton to attend the Tilden Club reception was not to launch a boom for k'Inselt for the Presidency, nor to see a throng of distinguished Democratic has, beens. not yet to shake hands with Da- vid B. Hill, but to do a service for life long friend, Col Daniel s. Lamont, and to start the ball rolling for Lamont S nomination for Governor in the fall. It is | understood that if Lamont is nominated, | the ex-President will take the stump for | him, making at least three speeches. one | in this city, another in Albany and an | other at Buffalo.

Our friend of The Hartford cGenevs

Our friend of The Hartford Geneva county) Times, in it's last issue. says:
 Last week to our displeasure the Mont gomery Advertiser failed to reach our exchange table. We wrote the circula- ton manager as to the trouble, and the length of his pointed reply keeps us from printing it. He was in Hartford two weeks ago soliciting subscriptions and says he was met with the polite as- surance from seven or eight of our lead ing citizens that they did not have to subscribe for The Advertiser as they could read it in The Times office. It's true few of our friends did occasion ally read 1t and some of our other eX- changes. From now on no one will read a single one of our exchanges, and it will be useless to ask for them. We have now a private office for our private affairs and our exchange papers constitute a part of this. We are always ready and will ing to accommodate friend so far as 1t can be done without injury to our busi- ness We have lost the Daily Advertiser, and are forced to stAp this accommoda- tion or lose our other State dailies Ev- cry country weekly in the State needs The Advertiser, in fact 1t is almost in- dispensible. In fact every family in Ala bama needs 1t. more especially should they get 1t during the coming campaign.
 All fair minded men will say that The Advertiser is justified in objecting to its free use by any considerable number in a community, unless sent expressly to library or other institution which keeps 1t on file for public use and information. As The Times will as far as it can, cor rect the complaint The Advertiser made against it, it shall not be outdone in ef- forts to do the right thing and with great pleasure 1t is placed back upon our ex- change list We hope all other State exchanges will understand that the paper is sent to them and is not intended for free circulation in their community.

The Boy Arrested Here

Ft. Scott Monitor On board the
Missouri Pacific passenger train
bound for the west this morning was
Edward Golden, a young man whoiis
we'll known in the city and who is u
student at the High school. Young
Golden was breaking home ties and
was running away. The boy who is
eighteen years old, had trouble a
home.
tine elder Mr. Golden, a farmer re
siding on nice piece of ground near
the Hornaday farm almost due north
Of town, approached the police this
morning and asked that his boy be
searched for. The father was in at
state of great anxiety and said that
the boy had left home early this morn
: ing after some home trouble of ma
ture not disclosed.
Marshal Conway took the matter in
| his own hands and after thorough
search found that Edward Golden had
departed this morning for lola over
the Missouri Pacific. He notified the
father of this fact and the parent re-
quested the chief to wire the chief of
police in lola and have the boy ar
rested upon his arrival there Mr.
Conway sent the desired dispatch and
young Golden was taken into custody
at the station. 1t seems he protested
and anotherwire came back from lola
asking if the young man should be
locked up The father told Marshal
Conway to reply that he was to be put
in Jail, and said that he would go
after him this afternoon, which he
did.
"Mr Golden, the elder, seems to be
very much excited over his boys ac-
tions this morning. He will bring the
boy back this evening and try.to make
him see things in something other
than an l8.year-old light.
The young man is very gentlemanly
bright as dollar, and has many
warm friends in the city. 1t is to be
hoped that he will become reconciled
after his sad experience" l."
Mr.. Golden came to lola Tuesday
and took the boy home with him.
