had been invented. New York has had cnly one example of the kind. an early comedy produced at a matinee perform ance by one of the schools of acting. and an occasion of the greatest acting to pe0- pie really fascinated by the stage.
 This miracle play or morality, Every man." was reviewed under the auspices of the Elizabethan Stage Society under scenic conditions as nearly archaeologi- cally correc tas possible first at the lit- tie St. Georges Hall and afterward at Mrs Langtrys gorgeous new Imperial Theatre. in London.
 'Everyman" was written by an anony- nous author. or. more properly. was nous translator. the original "Eicherlijk' being the work of certain Peter of Deist. Peter of Deist was priest, and hs play was probably written about l450. the Tnglish version belonging to the reign of Edward ". ll6l-iiS3) The manuscript begins as follows:
 Here Begynneth a treatise how the hye Fader of heven sendeth dethe to so- mon every creature to come and gyve counte of theyr lyves in this worlde and is in maner of a morall playe."
 There ar IT characters: Everyman, Aronai, Death Messenger. Fellowship, Strength, Discretion. Five Wits. Beauty, Knowledge, Confession, Angel and Doc tor.
 The procedure adopted is for each char acter to step on to the stage, speak his lines and then step off again into the au- dience and it says a good deal for the beauty of the play that to the most ultra modern audience the system seemed quite fit and proper

REPUBLICANS IN MORGAN.
They Will Put Out a Full County
 Ticket

New Decatur, Aug. 29.-(Special.) )-Re- publican politicians in this County are assuming an interesting phase; it having been decided already to put a full County ticket in the field.
 The chances are that a heated and viz orour campaign will be the result, though there Is but little likelihood of the Re- publicans capturing any of the County offices at this time, as they are too weak in numbers without the aid of many re- cruits which they hope to secure from the ranks of the Democratic party on ac- count of the factional fight which has just come to close in this State be- tween Jelks and Johnston.
 Many of the supporters of eX-Governor Johnston are quite sore over the defeat of their choice for Governor and in Re- publican circles here 1t is believed that many of the Johnston men will affiliate with the Republicans, since the negro Is no longer a factor in Alabama politics.
 For this reason mainly. perhaps, the leaders of the Republican party in this County say they will nominate for Coun- ty officers their very best men-men or the highest integrity and morality who are respected by all regardless of politi- cal affiliations.
 The going into effect of the new State Constitution has sealed the negro's po- litical doom in this County for all time and realizing that he is no longer po- tent factor in Republican politics he is inactive in political circles and has taken a back seat.
 In days gone by the negroes controlled largely the Republican party of Morgan County because they outnumbered the white Republicans by large majority. Under the new Constitution this State of affairs does not exist.
 Only thirty-five negroes registered in the entire County as against 3,726 white men.
 The Republicans of the County will hold a County Convention at Hartselle tomorrow for the purpose of nominating a County ticket, electing seven delegates to the State Convention, which meets in Birmingham September Is, and also for the purpose of effecting a new County or ga nization. The seven delegates to be chosen tomorrow to the State Convention will. in all probability go as delegates also to the Congressional Convention which meets in Decatur. September p for the purpose of nominating Congress- man, electing a new Chairman and other members of the Committee
 The Democrats are watching the out come of the County and District Repub- lican conventions with no small degree of interest

The interment was at Cedar Hill.
 Two men are under arrest at Truss vile. under suspicion of being those want ed for the murder. A man giving his name as A. A Williams is also under arrest at the city Jafi. He is a slight dark man and was arrested near Mobile Junc- tion.
 The consensus of opinion Is that the men are going in the direction of Tusca- loosa and it is believed from descriptions received by the police that they have been seen several times walking in that direction.

Millions of Moths.

Last night Q great swarm of white winged moths or candle-fiies passed over Selma about 9 o'clock. For some reason the electric lights went out about that time and they swarmed around the lights in front of Gillman's store. Thousands of them dropped in the street in front of Gillman's where they perfshed. The gr ound was so thick with them that they could have been swept up in heaps this morning. Nobody seems to be able to explain where these white-bodied. white winged denizens of the air came from, and neither is any one able to explain why they fell in the streets and perished in such great numbers. A good many here who saw the large quantities of flies on the street are anxious to know from whence they came and where they were going. It was a peculiar thing for them to swoop down on the city in such tre- mendous numbers.
