As scientist relates that he has Bra
lillian parrot which is a fluent and ac-
complished speaker. 4 gray parrot was
introduced one day. but the Brazilian
haughtily declined to have anything to
say to the gray. Then neighbor who
had just been given a newly imported
green Brazilian brought the newcomer
to call. The moment the parrots caught
sight of each other they broke into a
torrent of apparently articulate Ian
guage, consisting, as it seemed, of ques-
tions and answers. but what the lam
guage wasno one present could tell. The
owner of the first parrot had never dur
ing the years it had lived with him
heard it speak this strange tongue. The
two parrots talked to each other with

met again, exactly the same thing hap
pened. Perhaps the newcomer was tell

TO HAVE SEPARATE
 ELECTRIC LIGHTS
THE ALABAMA FAIR ASSOCIATION
 CLOSES CONTRACT WITH GEN. ERAL ELECTRIC LIGHT COM PANY-oPENINc FIVE DAYS OFF

The Alabama state fair opens in Bir- mingham October B. Arrangements have just been competed for a private electric plant to furnish lights at the grounds during the fair. The arrangement will not only decrease the price of the lights but 1t will assure the fair association of much better lights and a great many more than they could otherwise secure
 The General Electric company has se- cured the contract Many or the lights will be used in Illuminating the build ings and grounds. making the iIlumina- tion one of the features.
 Another contract closed yesterday was for $500O worth of flags, bunting and other decorations for the exterior and in- terior of ali the fair buildings. This will greatly aid in beautifying the buildings and will add another feature to Che fair.
 The flags and bunting will come chiefly from the horse show building of the Georgia state fair which is being held in Atlanta. It was all put in the building some days ago and is not injured at all by it's use there. It will be as good as new when it arrives. These two addi- tional features have been secured in an effort to beautify the buildings and grounds.
 The opening of the fair Is only five days off and those in charge are rapidly com pleting the minor details. Nearly all the floor space in the buildings has been let
 The street car company Is preparing to handle the crowds better than they have ever done before. There are several lines which run near the fair grounds, and on all these special service will be given, cars running at frequent intervals.

REPUBLICANS MAKE
 CAMPAIGN SPEECHES
]. Carter Cooke Thanks Press
 for Fair Treatment.
JOS. MONTGOMERY TALKS
Says That f County Officials Were Put On Salary Basis Between $5o,ooo and $6o,ooo Would
 Be Saved.

The republicans opened their campaign here last night with a rally in Elks hall large crowd was present and among the number were several prominent dem ocrats. The hall was well filled with men of both parties.
 J. Carter Cooke, chairman of the re- publican state executive committee, pre- sided His introductory remarks were in part as follows
 T am glad to see so large and repre- sentative an audience as we have here tonight and am doubly glad that among the audience there are so many promi- nent democrats. It is a good omen and speaks well for the future of Alabama, when gentlemen who are allied with diff ferent political parties can come together and listen to the discussion of pending is- sues without prejudice or passion. It is a great pleasure to conduct a campaign that is absolutely free from bitterness, and the republicans will meet the demo- erats more than half way Tn endeavoring to prevent fraud or underhanded work in the coming elections. I wish to express qualification and appreciation of the fair treatment that we have been receiving at the hands of the democratic press of Alabama, which is at present numeri- cally stronger than the republican press. This fight is made on issues that are clearly defined. The democrats represent one side and the republicans the other. We believe that republican principles will be more beneficial to Alabama and the country at large than the doctrines of democracy and our position upon the trusts. the money question: the tariff and expansion has been clearly stated and Is thoroughly well known
 The other speakers of the evening were J. A. W. Smith, republican nominee for governor; Joseph H. Montgomery, repub- lican nominee for the legislature from Jefferson county, and William Vaughan.
 MT. Montgomery discussed county af- fairs, and defined the republican position as to certain officers of the county being paid salaries instead of fees. He said that $125.G00 a year was paid out among five office-holders. He advocated that they be placed on a salary basis and said that as a result between $50,0O0 and S60,- GOO annually would go into the county school fund
 MT. Vaughan spoke of the general is- sues, emphasizing the fact that the re- cent movement at the late republican convention would be carried out in the face of any opposition it might have. He stated that the republican party believed in upholding the principles of the Ding ley tariff bill to the letter; that the re- publican party advocated the gold stan dard, and that as regards the trusts the republicans had never advocated monop- olies that permitted the controlling of the necessities of life. but they did be- lieve in combination of capital whereby the American laboring men could work for an honest living and receive an hon est salary.
 MT. Smith discussed state issues and then national questions. He had much to say in regard to the question of dis franchsement.

 The bill will also provide that if an election Is ordered in any county com mission shall be appointed by the gover- nor to hold the election. the dispensary and whisky factions being given an equal representation on the commission.

COMPLAIN OF COLD.
City Prisoners Say That They Have
 Not Fires or Blankets.

The prisoners in the city jail complain ed last night of the cold. there being no warmth in the heaters and no stoves in which fire could be built. Night Warden Walton had to stop the cracks of the outer door in the womens department with blanket to keep the air out, and there were several prisoners without a sufficient number of blankets.
 The mounted policemen and patrol driver suffered also. They were forced to wrap themselves in overcoats, McIn- toshes and rubber coats to keep warm.
 The trouble seems to be that the fire in the furnace is allowed to go out at night and there is no steam or hot water in the radiators The most intense cold is always at night and it is then the heat is needed mostly.
