not what, now began to creep over her.
She would have turned into a side
street, but mingled with her fear was a
resolution not to show it, not to even
think Of It, to combat it as she had the
horrid laugh Of the Scamp girls, and
she kept her way with a beating heart,

Only one idea was in her mind, to

the last ineligible sound that had
reached her was the laugh of the Sc.

her ears, seeming to voice the hidden

FORMER STATE SENATOR WILL SEEK NOMINATION AND WILL SUPPORT GOVERNOR JELKs. MOORE NOT A CANDIDATE.

Dr. R. M. Cunningham is a candidate for lieutenant governor, an office created by the late constitutional convention It has been a matter of gossip that Dr. Cunningham would probably aspire to the Governorship, but in the announcement of his candidacy he pledges his support to Governor Jelks, who will be a candi- date before the next Democratic conven- ticn.
 pr. Cunningham is resident of Ems ley, has served in the Legislature, was a delegate to the constitutional convention, and few men in the State are better known. His announcement will put a stop to the rumors that Senator Jones Moore would be a candidate for lieuten- ant governor. Senator Moore announces that he will support Dr. Cunningham.
 Dr. Cunningham made the following statement as to his candidacy:
 For some time past I have been urged by number of my friends to offer for the office of lieutenant governor. There are many reasons why 1 did not care to offer as a candidate. One-and the most cogent reason-was that one of my best and warmest personal friends l thought would be a candidate. allude to Hon. Jones G. Moore, Senator from Bibb and Perry but now a citizen of this county He has informed me that he does not in tend to be a candidate, and in fact has done more to influence me to offer for lieutenant governor than any other friend l have. The other reason is that l am practicing my profession entirely satisfactory to myself, aud I hope also to my patients. The fact is the practice of medicine is my leading purpose and to achieve success in 1t my dominant ann bition.
 After thinking the matter over care fully I have concluded that the office Of

ELYTON VOTING TODAY
 ON INCORPORATION
Predictions Are That Suburb VIII Be. come Municipality By
 Big Majority.

Elyton will hold an election today to decide whether it shall become incorpora- ted or not About a year ago an election was held to decide this question but at that time it was proposed to incorporate Elyton and Smithfield as one town, and smithfeld being opposed to incorporation it outvoted Elyton, majority of whose citizens favored incorporation.
 The election today will only relate to the territority of Elyton proper. The boundry line comes up to the canal and does not take in any part of Smithfield.
 The election will be held at Maxwelrs S store, the polls being open from a. m to D. m. The managers of the election are Messrs. T. s. Smith, W. A. Brown, A. V. Jennette. The election, it is said will result in incorporation if a full vote is polled by those in its favor.

SENT WRITTEN MATTER
 UNDER PRINTED" RATE
Postmaster Hughes Collected Fine of $10 From an Insurance
 Company.

Postmaster J. W. Hughes collected a fine of $1O yesterday and 19 cents for over due postage from an insurance company which had sent matter through the mail marked printed matter" when, as a matter of fact it was written matter and called for higher rate of postage.
 The agent of a prominent life insurance company with headquarters in Birming- ham sent to the company a package through the mail on which a lower amount of postage had been paid than that called for by law. The statutes of the United States make this an offence and provided that when detected the postmaster may collect a fine of $10, if paid voluntarily, and if not. then the person is arrested and tried for a misde- meanor.
 good many people are not aware that 1t is against the law, or rather that 1t is punishable to insert written matter in A package which is sent as printed matter The law requires that the latter class of packages be sent unsealed and makes 1t the duty of the postmaster to open them and see if the rules have been compiled with

CUNNINGHAM IN RACE
 FOR LIEUT.. GOVERNOR

lieutenant governor, should I have the honor to attain it, will not materially in terfere with my professional studies and work. The only certain duty of the office is to preside over the Senate for about 50 days next winter. The possibilities consist in succeeding to the office of Governor in case of disability from any cause upon the part of the Governor to discharge the duties of his office.
 Tt is therefore. an office of great honor, and one of which any citizen might be justly proud I have, therefore, made up my mind to announce as a candidate for the nomination of the Democratic party for the office of Lieutenant Gov ernor.
 "To those who have so earnestly and kindly urged me to offer for Governor this announcement may seem strange. My explanation Is that I am, and have been all along and shall continue to be an earnest and ardent supporter of Gov ernor Jelks, who aspires to that high of flee, and is entitled by merit, fitness, qualifications and Democratic precedent to succeed in his aspirations"
 We'll Known in Public Life.
 Dr. Cunningham is we'll and favorably known in public life. He was in the Leg islature in 1880 from Franklin County and was state Senator from Jefferson in 1S96- '9S He served as president of the Senate during his term being chosen for that honor without opposition.
 When a constitutional convention was called under former Governor Johnstons administration Dr. Cunningham was elected a delegate from Jefferson Coun- ty. The call was subsequently, repealed through the efforts of the ex-Governor, who called a special session of the Leg islature.
 When an election of delegates was held for the convention which finished it's labors last year Dr. Cunningham was again delegated to represent this county and served with credit to himself and constituency. He is regarded as one of the strongest men in the state and his reputation as an orator and stump speak CT has reached every county in Alabama
 Dr. Cunningham is Most Worshipful Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons of Alabama.

CASE INVOLVES
 ATTORNEYS FEES
MONEY LENDER SUING RAILROAD EMPLoYE FOR $4, WITH ATToR- NEVIS FEE ADDED-JUSTlCE WARD RESERVES DECISION.

A case involving an interesting law pcs,t was tried yesterday before Jus tice of the Peace J. H. Ward The ques- ton was whether attorneys fess provided for in a note can be recovered when they have not been actually paid out, and whether even when an attorney is em- ployed they can recover more than 10 per cent in view of the statute providing that pnly 10 per cent can be recovered in suits by money lenders. Justice Ward reserv- ed his decision to investigate the matter.
 A money lender by the name of N. E. Russell had loaned Will Poole, who was an employe of the Southern Railway Company, sum of money and took his note therefor. He brought suit on the note and garnisheed his wages. The face of the note was for s49O He brought Suit for this amount with $5 added for attorneys fees The costs to date amount to s. making $12.90, which Poole might have to pay, although Russell's attorney admitted in court, on a motion to dismiss the garnishment. that the original debt and interest would not exceed $4.
 1ne uelenudnl was SlCh, puI lS icplS- sented in court by his attorney, John w. Tomlinson, who moved to dismiss the garnishment on the ground that the gar nishment law in Jefferson county does mot allow garnishments to be sued out on debts less than s5 The plaintiffs at torney claims that he could add attorneys fees and thereby make the debt exceed 8, but 1t was contended that the special law for Jefferson county enacted by the last legislature, allowed only 10 per cent to be recovered for attorneys fees in such eases, and then only when an attorney is actually employed.
 This law was passed as the result of a fight made on money lenders in Jefferson county about a year ago, at which time 1t was claimed they were charging ex- horbitant rates of interest.
