Talladega, Sept 10.-(Staff Corresubnd-

dacy for public Office, under any and all

townsman, the Hon, Alexander M. CARRIER
for Attorney General. who enjoys to q
most remarkable extent their esteem and
confidence. Each one as met them and
talked with them only moment plainly
gave evidence of the foremost subject in
their minds by asking about the race for

No word too good about the home life
and character of Colonel CARRIER could
be spoken. Every one spoke in praise
and had a kind word for him and were
eager to take part In the work being done
for him. The picture elsewhere on this
