To the Democrats of Alabama:
 In the recent primary I received 3.564 more votes for Attorney General than either of the other candidates, but not majority over them all. My vote was 29,6lS, Mir. Garber's 26,O54, Judge Cobb s 14,067 and MT. Troy's 10.003.
 carried 34 counties, MT. Garber 2l counties ,and the remaining counties were carried by either Judge Cobb or MT. Troy Il did n0t receive a majority of all the vptes cast and will. therefore have to run 1t over with Mir. Garber, my next highest competitor.
 I am profoundly grateful to the 29,ooO friends who so loyalty supported me in the first primary, and ask them to stand by me until the fight is entirely won. It would give me pleasure to go among you, and conduct a personal campaign, but as the election is so near at hand, it will be impossible for me to do so, ex- cept to a very limited extent.
 have no uneasiness whatever as to the result of the second primary. if my friends will go to the polls and vote. sincerely trust that you ,wiI go and get your neighbors and friends to do the same.
 The section of the State in which l live, (the white counties of Southwest Hla- bama, below the black belt-Clarke, Mo- bile, Washington. ChCctaw, Monroe, Es- cambia and Baldwin, has not had a nom- inee for State office for many years. We have always been loyal Democrats.
 In the event of my election. l shall en- deavor to discharge the duties of the of- flee faithfully and impartially.
 Very respectfully:

 Speaking of his hunting experiences in England recently. an old sportsman re- called an incident, relating to King Ed ward. "I was the other day talking to an old gillie," he said, when the con versatfon turned upon the merits and demerits of sportsmen of exalted posi- tion. In his younger days this ancient highlander. whose cheeks were burnt to a brick-red by years of constant expos ure to all sorts of weather, had acted as gillie to Prince Albert. Of the Prince Consort's kindness and consideration for his men he had high praise. but when ne came to talk of King Edward his enthu, siasm was unbounded. as he had served him when Prince of Wales. "Ach, yes, he said in reminiscent mood, but he IS the fine shot with the gun is His Maj esty, with eyes like hawks for the quar- ". and he never sat down to luncheon without ordering us gillies to hae good dram" Saying which he looked nara at me. and, taking the hint, also made provision for his being supplied with draught of the wine of the country.
