A SAMPLE
Of the Stuff That Stallings Gets Or
in the Country,

in the Country.
Eclectic, Ala, Aug 10. 1902.
Editor The Advertiser:
Jesse Stallings spoke to seventy-nve
persons, about half of whom were jerks
supporters, this evening. / have heard
Jess speak before, but I give you my
word, 1 never heard him so misrepresent
facts as he did here this evening,
To illustrate this, l will give little
of his speech. He was abusing the poll
tax clause of the new Constitution, de-
claring that he and Ex-Governor Johnston
were and had always been. opposed to
poll tax qualification for the voter, and
believed that all men should vote with
out any restriction other than that of a
white skin. This absolute perversion of
Johnston's real position on the suffrage
question so provoked me that / asked
him very politely to allow me to inter-
rupt him for a moment which he with
like politeness allowed.
I then asked him IL the Ex-Governor
was not on record in an official capacity
advocating a Substantial poll tax as all
that would be necessary on the suffrage
question. And Mr.. Editor. / was simple
enough to think had the gentleman on
the hip: but all as to my chagrin the
willy Jess squirmed out of the difficulty
by pleading downright ignorance of any
such position of the Ex-Governor. I re-
piled: why. Colonel Staffings. what la
inevitable ignorance!" whereupon the
brave and truthful Jess got his ''dander"
up and accused me of somewhat doubt
ing his word. and notwithstanding my
white hairs and advanced age. would. af-
ter speaking, settle the matter with me
on the street.
l suppose my extreme look Of disgust
and contempt for such wilful and bra
zen attempt to perveft such we'll known
fact as this position of Johnston's on the
poll tax qualification. that he thought he
heard me say: "sir. I don't believe you"
Well sir this Is only one of the many
instances in his speech wherein he per-
verted and twisted facts, and miscon-
strued motives of Governor Jelks in or
der to bolster up his demagogic course
in support of the premium demagogue
who Is his master.
Yours truly,

Armless Beggar's Queer Coin Recep-

tacle Made Him Dumb.
Buffalo Express.
An armless beggar who said he was
Jesse Ferry, failed to heed the advice or
Main Street policemen when they told
him to move along yesterday afternoon,
so he was locked up at Police Station NO
!, charged with vagrancy. Ferry says he
came to Buffalo from Cleveland yester-
day morning. At all events, he camped
on the sidewalk in front of one of the
department stores bright and early. Fer
~ has no arms. He doesn't need any in
his business, it seems. for he uses his
mouth a a coin catcher. The men of the
Main Street squad are generally lenie1t
with beggars, giving them one or more
chances to get off the street. Ferry was
no exception.
Nearly every one of the First Pre-
cincts Main Street men told him to move
along. He did change his position about
half dozen times. and for few hours
he left the street. About 1870 o'clock yes
terday afternoon a woman approached
Patrolman Williamson at Main and Sen
eca Street.
There's poor armess man down
there" she said. pointing in the direc-
ton of Exchange Street. But he's very
foolish and I'm sure he'll have all kinds
OF diseases. Just think! He catches all
leaves them there too.
williamson recognized in Ferry the
same armless beggar he had warned to
leave Main Street earlier in the day. He
took him to the station house and on
the way ne noticed that his prisoner had
nothing to say. The desk sergeant asked
Ferry his name. but got no reply.
'Maybes he dumb as well as armless."
said the sergeant to Williamson Search
him and lock him up
The officer did as he was ordered. He
pulled out several handfuls of pennies and
nickels and heaped them on the desk.
Ferry submitted to the search and when
his property was all out before him he
spoke This is what he said in a muf-
aod, gurgling kind of a voice: You
amt got EN- all yet
Then he opened wide his mouth. leaned
slightly so that his head was above the
desk and out rolled about thirty pennies
The desk sergeant gasped and Williamson
made frantic effort TO keep the coins
from rolling on the floor.
II kin carry twice as many as that
there" said Ferry as he vas led back
to the cell room.
A count of the pennies showed he had
nearly S. in his possession when arrest
ed. The police say he probably got all
that money yesterday from kind-hearted
people.

DOOM OF THE SPHINX.
Irrigation Causing Famous Egyptian
Monument to Crumble.

irrigation causing FAMOUS GByPtldn
Monument to Crumble.
New York Times
The present is period of the vanishing
of monuments which have stood for
thousands of years. The other day Ven
ice lost one of her famous relics OF past
days. and many other buildings In the
lovely Queen City of the Adriatc Is
threatened with destruction.
And now comes the news that an even
more famous, an infinitely more venerable
monument is likely to disappear. 1t is
said that the Sphinx. which has stood on
the bank of the Nile since the shadowy
days Of the Pharaohs. cannot long with
stand the crumbling occasoned by mod
ern conditions in Egypt
Since the British have been in control
in Egypt they have altogether changed
the Sface of the country. Land that was
once desert is now smiling with verdure.
Irrigation has reclaimed thousands OF
acres and the great dam at Assouan will
result in a marvellous increase in the
size of the region under cultivation.
All this has resulted In so modifying
the atmosphere of the country that the
dry air which allowed the preservation
of the Sphinx no longer exists. Every one
knows that the preservation or the mono
liths in London and New YORK however
be continued indefinitely and 1t is said
that the same trouble which caused so
much discussion here in regard 10 Cleo
patraS Needle, is threatened IN lne case
OF the famous figure that has inspired so
many poems and pictures.
The Sphinx was built before the Great
Pyramid somewhere about 1000 years
before Christ 1t is a recumbent man
headed lion. 1873 feet long, hewn out of
a natural eminence in the solid rock. some
defects of which are supplied by par
tial stone casing. There is temple in
front of il, but all efforts to prevent the
sand settling over the building have
failed.
In front of the breast of the Sphinx orig
inallv appeared an image of a god, the
weather-worn remains of which may
still be made out. The head of the
Sphinx was a work of art of the highest
type known to the Egyptians. and FIN
ished with the greatest care. 1t is now
greatly mutilated but, in spite of all its
injuries. its calm. majestic. penSive ex-
preston still appeals to the most thought
less of travellers
Perhaps means may be found to avert
the threatened ruin oS this noble figure,
but the battle between modern cond
tions and ancient monuments is one that
usually results in only one way.

Stallings delivered one of his character

stated that he was opposed to Jelks be-
cause Jelks was incapable of filling the
Office of Governor, but he failed to point
to single act of Jelks's since assuming
that Office to substantiate the charge.
He said he was for Johnston because
Johnston was butt-headed and because
Johnston had served two terms-four
years, and he ought to have four more
years because George Washington served
eight years as President Of the United
States.
He spoke for an hour to 200 people or
