JOHNSTON ATTACKS STATES
CREDIT

The campaign circular of former Gov
ernor Joseph F. Johnston, which is made
up of extracts from The Birmingham
Alabamian, has the following:
The State debt must be refunded dur
Ing the term of the next Governor. II
cannot be question of doubt who Will
be better fitted to meet this task. Dur
ing Governor Johnston's term State bonds
stood at 1l2; since Jelks has been in con-
troll they have dropped to LOS.
In all candor, we believe that the man
who can keep State bonds at III Is bet
ter man to refund the State debt than
one who has let them drop to los.
Governor Johnston knew that he was
suppressing part of the facts concern
ing Alabama bonds when he circulated
ehe above statement. There are four
classes of Alabama bonds outstanding.
The class AS will be due in
1903 There are $966,O0O of these.

WANTS TO COME HOME.

declares "are about the shape, color and

that lie can't even get decent slice of

in country where thsy know how to
utilize corn products Is necessarily set
back when he finds himself in a region
where they really don't know what corn
is made for. And a man who has been
accustomed to slice of crisp bacon
when he wanted it can never be satisfied
with a substitute. AS the children of

pecially If he be Southern or Western
