N ND now George Ward has an- PV nouneed himself a candidate for mayor of Birmlngham
 The primary has been called for the sec ond of March. The announced candidates number four. Mayor Drennen is making Herculanean efforts to have himself elect ed to a third term in the mayoralty chair. He evidently likes the job well enough to chase after it every two years for some time to come, or perhaps for all time. Ulyses S. Grant liked the honor, work and salary of being President of the United States so much that he asked his party to nominate him for a third term. Regardless of a good record the people of his party would not hear to it. The people of this country. regardless of. sec tion, do not believe in third terms in ex- ecutive officers. Mayor Drennen may be strong enough with a well constructed political machine allied with him to over turn precedent. But 1t is very evident that George Ward and Frank O'Brien don't believe it. Brien Is a strong man of high character and staunch friends,
  ways with credit to himself and his party. George Ward Is a young business man who has been successful and who has the confidence of this entire town-an honest, straightforward fellow, who has the cour- age of his convictions and will do what he conceives to be the right every time.
 So I should say that this contest for mayor promises to bring about a hot time in this town. And the man In whom the people have the most confidence is likely to be the next mayor.
 The shooting of Editor Gonzales of Co., lumbia by Jim Tillman was a deplorable affair. Gonzales was a hfgh-strung, noble fellow, intellectual and checked full of convictions, which he expressed on all oc- casions in the most forceful manner. He was possessed of the most supreme con tempt for all the Tillmans and has re- peatedly denounced them in the columns of his paper. He often applied to them such epithets as liar" "blackguard'' and Coward" Repeatedly he has de- nounced Jim Tilman, who unfortunately possessed the political ambition of his uncle, Ben Tiilman, but who has neither

 The interstate commerce commission has had J. P. Morgan before it and ex- amined him on his purchase of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad from the Gates pool, and afterwards turning the same over to the Atlantic Coast Line. MT. Morgan testified that he found Gates had gotten possession of SoG,0OO shares of Louisville and Nashville, which consti- tuted a majority and gave him the con- troll He says he arranged to make the purchase from Gates and turn over the stock to the Atlantic Coast Line because he knew the sale to the Atlantic Coast Line would not be disturbing element to the railroads of the south.

''The Seaboard Air Lines large and tastefuly furnished office In the Wood- ward building adjoining the main en- trance would attract attention in any city" said a Chicago man. "There are few railroad offices outside of New York and Chicago equal to 1t. I doubt if the Seaboard has another office on it's sys- tenn that begins to be so handsome as this one in Birmingham.

 Soon after this race, says Colonel Pey- ton, she was again matched against her old competitor, the Dewett mare Maria giving her one hundred and twenty yards in dash of two miles. Colonel Lynch of Virginia had been induced to come and bring his famous colored rider, Dick to ride the Dewett mare. Maria won, making the last mile in AS. All who saw the race declared that Maria made the most extraordinary display of speed that they ever witnessed.
 There were many Virginians present to witness this race and they declared there were horses in Virginia that could beat Maria. Captain Haynie offered to match her against any horse in the, world at from one, mile to four mile heats. Short ly after this, Captain Haynie informed General Jackson of these. banters hy the Virginians, and the general replied in his impressive manner, Make the race for $5O,OOO and consider me inswith yotI; Marie can beat any animal in God isswhole creation" e - a M ssz

Praise for St. vincent's.

W. H. Bingham, a popular employe oL Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, has recovered from serious illness. He was at St. Nih- cents for several weeks, but was able to be out last week, and will be strong enough to return to work within the next day or two. He is warm in his praise ol St. Vincent's.
 'If all the Sister of Charity hospitals are conducted on the same plan as thls one in Birmingham" said MT. Bingham' T am sure the country has something to be thankful for. am confident that no ln- stitution for the care of the sick has better system or more attentive. sympa- thetic or efficient staff than St. Vincents' After 1 was convalescent l took occasion to see if all the patients were being treot- ed as well as l. 1 found that both pay and free patients received the same thoughtful attention, and that all were made to feel at home. The good sisters with kindly faces, go from ward to ward and room to room looking after the sick and doing all in their power to alleviate suffering.
 'I used to hear the remark: If l were i'll I would stay at home and be nursed by my own people,. Persons who talked and thought that way made a great mis- take especially If typhoid fever was the trouble. A well-regulated hospital is the very place where sick people should go. I shall always look back to Christmas, 1902 with a large degree of sentiment, although I was on a bed of pain, and my heart will be ever grateful to the sisters and the nurses, as well as the doctors, for bringing me back to health"
