Letters to The Editor.
FOR COMMANDER U. V. c.
Ex-Governor Oates is Warmly Com
 mended.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Atthe approaching reunion of the Ala bama Division of the United Confederate Veterans, one of the most important acts will be the election of the Commander of the Division. Inasmuch IS 1t has been publicly announced in the press that the present honored incumbent does not de- sire third election, 1t Is well that the minds of the Veterans should dwell upon the selection of his successor.
 It has already been very appropriately suggested that political considerations should not enter into the determination of the election of a CommanderO In choos- ing their leader now they should he in- huenced by the same manly qualities by which .hey were guided in selecting the leaders of the War between the States. They should select a man who in those terrible times barred his breast to the foe, felt the edge of their weapons, spill ed his blood In defence of the cause and the scars upon whose body bear eloquent testimony to the sincerity of his devotion.
 As one first In the charge and last in the retreat, his face ever toward the foe and himself always at the front, I suggest the name of William C. Oates, whose un- wavering devotion to the Confederate sol dier from the early days of 1881 to this blessed hour has never Jagged who shared his coat with them at the camp fire and stood shoulder to shoulder in the trenches of the brave. The men who have fought with him bear testimony to the galantry of his military career and those who have known him longest love him best. There are scores of grizzled veterans yet living in Alabama who fol- lowed the empty sleeve of the old one armed hero over the hills and through the valleys of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, and who will reel Tn the homer paid to Ghis genuine soldier tribute '0 'N'' Veteran.

Governor stone,s Duty .

New York Tribune,
 The duty of making coal mining pos- sible rests on Governor Stone. He has failed miserably so far, and public opinion should be exerted to urge him to actv- ity and courage. The government of Pennsylvania is not yet overthrown so as to call for its re-establishment by the United States It Is merely timid and supine, but still coastitutionally guardian of it's own peace within its own borders When 1t wants help from Washington it will be entitled to it, and assuredly will receive 1t.

or even the president himself, can not

they cannot disobey, and that sentry, if
he had allowed this man to rush his

there is no possible doubt that he was
justified in shooting this man, and the

here by the local police.
The young man had just deposited
$1,000 in bank and had nearly $500 on his
person. His arrest was the result of an
alteration with a local photographer,
but the sensational feature of the case
is the fact that the police claim Dial

Dial left here when II years old. He
is about % now. He went to the Indian
Territory, where he met an old man
who was returning to Kentucky in a

Houston, in October, 1895, an old man
was found dead in his wagon. The
wagon, with the team, had been stand
