ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Candidates in Second Primary
MAI. VARDAMAN AT BROOKHAvEN

MAJ. vARDAMAN AT BROOKHAvEN.
The editor of the Leader has
known Maj. Vardaman longer
and has more intimate and
pleasant acquaintance with him
personally than with either of the
other gubernatorial candidates.
In some respects our personal
regard for and appreciation of
him is very great; therefore,
when we went to hear him speak
at the Opera House on last We'd
nesday night, we were in state
of mind to give him at least fair
and impartial hearing; and, yet,
we came away after his speech
more opposed than ever to his
candidacy. He is a magnetic
speaker and has many of the best
gifts and graces of the orator.
But one weighs his speeches in
vain for sound logic and states
manship. In treating the race
question, on which his candidacy
is chiefly based, Maj. Vardaman
is both impractical and illogical.
He cites the movement of Senator
George in favor of a constitu-
tional convention to settle the
race question in Mississippi poll
tics and eulogizes that old COM
moner as the greatest statesman
and seer of his day, who could
come as near, or nearer, grasping
all that was involved in the race
problem than any other man of
his time. We think this praise
of Senator George is not too
great, and Maj. Vardaman might
well have added that in framing
our constitution, Senator George
and his colleagues of the consti-
tutional convention of 1890, in
their wisdom and statescraf,
did go to the utmost limits of le-
gal and constitutional authority
in dealing with this question.
Maj. Vardaman seems to have
receded from his original propo-
sition of dividing the public
school fund according to the
amount Of taxes paid by each
race; but in his speech ven
tured another suggestion by
which he would avoid educating
the negro in the public schools.
This suggestion is to amend sec
ton 206 of the state constitution,
so as to give the legislature juris-
diction of the whole subject of
public education. If the next
legislature should submit such an
amendment, and it were ratified
by the people, the first succeed
ing legislature could then pass a
law which would discriminate in
favor of the white children as
against the negro. When those
who heard Major Vardaman's
speech, remember that a legisla-
ture which submits an amendment
to the people can't insert it in the
constitution, even though it be
ratified, but that this must be
done by the next succeeding leg
islature, to be elected four years
from now, and that Maj. Varda-
man, even if elected governor,
would be out of Office before the
amendment could ever become a
part of the constitution and fur
thermore, that if any legislature
should be 50 short-sighted as to.
pass such law as he suggests,
that it would be declared uncon-
stitutional by our own state courts
and the Supreme Court of the
United States, it will be readily
seen how visionary is Major

conductor, charged with receiving
stolen checks to the amount of 1861,
was also arraigned and was held in
$500 Both pleaded not guilty to the
charges.
1t is claimed that the discoveries
made by the detectives in Boston and
the arrests in Lynn have caused much
disquietude among the conductors of
the divisions in and about Lynn. and
that some of them have failed to report
for further duty. 1t is stated that at
least four conductors have left town
for parts unknown.
In an interview President Sullivan
of the Boston and Northern road said
that the loss of the road from the
check frauds has been very much
Over-estimated. He said that he
thought that $4,000 would be a large
estimate of the total loss.

GADSDEN COUNCIL
 HAS BUSY SESSION
METHoDISTS OPPOSE THE PRO- POSED EXTENSION OF WHISKY LIMITS AND HAVE AN ATToR- NEY BEFORE THE BOARD.

Gadsden, April S.-(special.)-At meet ing of the city council last night Attorney J. E. Blackwood appeared in behalf of the Methodist church whose officials are much concerned over the proposed exten- sion of the whisky limits, which might place saloons in buildings adjoining the church property. MT. Blackwood had an ordinance which prohibited the sale of whisky in a building any part of which was within POO feet of any church prop erty in the city. Heretofore the whisky limits have been confined to Broad street. between Third and Fifth. The council passed an ordinance extending them to Sixth street and incorporated the one of fered by MT. Blackwood.
 The council also passed two other or- dinances of much importance. One was prohibiting the proprietor, clerk or any employe of a saloon to enter his place Of Saturday night and the hour of opening on Monday morning.
 Another requires, within thirty days of it's passage, that all screens in saloons must be removed on Saturday night at
 
 moved from windows, doors, etc., so that the view from front to rear door shall not be obstructed in any manner. This law obtains on Sunday only, and In no way prohibits screens or partitions dur ing the week days. The fine for violat- ing either ordinance is not less than one nor more than one hundred dollars.
 At meeting of the board of education Monday afternoon all of the newly elect ed members were sworn in except W. T. Murphee, who was kept away by sick ness. The board immediately and unani- mously reelected Judge J. H. Disque as chairman.
 The most important feature of the meeting was the removal of the one dollar entrance fee required of each child at the beginning of each term. The removal of S2 makes the public schools of Gads- den entirely free--an end which the school officials have been striving to at- tain ever since the graded system was established.
 This does not include the high school, where only a nominal charge is made.
