CHOLERA IN PHILIPPINES.
Heavy Rains Only Remedy to Check
 the Disease.

San Francisco, September s-"A bounti- full downpour of rain is the only remedy which will check the cholera epidemic now raging in the Philippines" said Capt. E. H. Southal, a surgeon in the United States army, who has arrived here on the transport Buford. Captain Southal was for a time In charge of the cholera hospital in Manila. IT. speaking of ths epidemic, Captain Southal said:
 The Americans in the Philippines seem unable to cope with the cholera plague. Despite the rigorous methods used to suppress it, the disease seems to spread and increase. It is very difficult to get correct figures of the mortality due to cholera because of the ract that the natives hide the dead and try to keep knowledge of the presence or the disease from the authorities"

State Nominees Doubtful.

There seems to be no certainty as to who will win the nominations for the various positions on the state ticket.
 No one in authority will discuss the matter for publication, though 1t has been hinted that a complete slate has already been made
 It Is a popular idea that Hon. Truman II. Aldrich of Jefferson will be offered the gubernatorial nomination, but it is doubtful if he will accept the hdnor. Edi- tor Charles Lane of Huntsville seems 10 be the only candidate for this nomina- tion, but he apparently has but little following.
 There is but little interested manifested in the race for state chairman, as there seems to be rio opposition to MT. Will Hams of Madison.
