 TALK POLITICS Would be Dangerous to Noml-
 nate Mr. Hearst BANKHEAD ROBSON RACE L. B. Musgrove Declares Hobson Will Receive Nomination for Congress.
 Jim Long Predicts Bank
 heads Nomination.
BANKHEAD- ROBSON RACE

Public men from all parts of the state are in Birmingham and the pr'heipie topics of conversation in the hotel ioo- hies last night were the Bankhead-Hoo- son contest and the democratic Presiden- tial prospects, of the politicians seen at the Hillman, several talked for German several favored Cleveland, two favored Olney and the rest were uncertain, but all agreed that it would be dangerous to nominate Hearst Tom Long of Jasper and w C. Davis. a well known attorney of Walker county, were among those who predicted the nomination of Cleveland.
 An interesting yet humorous discussion was engaged in between L. B. Musgrove and MT. Long, as to the prospects or Congressman Bankhead and Capt Habson in the contest in the Sixth district. MT. Long is for Bankhead; Mir. Musgrove is l for Hobson.
 Enthusiastic Talk.
 q believe Capt. Hobson will carry ev- cry county in the Sixth congressional dis trict and will win with sweeping ma jority," said Musgrove in answer to general question. "He is gaining strength every day, and his wonderful powers of speech, logic and eloquence has eiectrl- fled the people of the district who admit that they one time thought him only a. joke They now regard him as big man, and I would not be at all surprised to some day see him in the Presidential or1xy I believe the young men of this state have chance for recognition in national af- fairs, through Capt Hobson." "I don't believe Hobson has chance" said MT. Long. He will probably carry Hale county and has fighting chance with odds against him in Pickens. Out side of those two counties he has no chance Bankhead will carry every other county in the district. l confidently be- lieve that Bankhead's majority will be be- tween 2500 and 5000 in the district. The people have not forgotten what Bank head has done for the Sixth district dur 1 ing his long service in congress, and they will not be swayed by the eoquence and what are termed new ideas of Captain l Iobson."
 MT. Musgrove and Mir. Long were fac | ing each other when these statements were made. and both laughed heartily at the divergence of opinion.
 Would Not Give Figures.
 MT. Musgrove was asked to give figures on Captain Hobsons majority, but he re- | piled that he had long since found 1t to be unwise to do so in advance as the ma- ! jority might be more than he estimated and some of his friends might feel that he had unintentonally underrated his champion. He was content to let the phrase sweeping majority" remain as his | estimate.
 MT. Davis was present during this con- versation, as was also Colonel Young blood, one of Alabama's leading repub- limans. They would not dare to offer an opinion in the face of this variance of opinion between two leaders of opposing factions. They simply laughed and want ed to hear more about the Sixth as relat- l ed by MT. Long and MT Musgrove

DAYS OF THE PAST.
A Georgian Signs For the Scenes OF
His Childhood.


His Childhood.
Editor Herald and News: In read
ing over again the Annals Of New
berry county, I like the district bet
ter. Seeing so many names of peo-
pie and places with which I was once
familiar causes my mind to sweep
over the buried years, as they have
come and gone, filling me at times
with indiscribable sadness. BY
these thoughts and feelings the fol-
lowing little poem was suggested,
which I should like you to publish.
I sigh for my own, my dear native
land,
For the scenes OF my childhood and
youth.
Where l was eenderly led by the
hand.
And where I first learned OF the
truth.
sigh ior the Old and humble home
stead.
Where I frs, saw the light OF the
day:
For the wide fireplace and my own
rrundle bed.
Where close 70 my mother | lay.
I sigh for the dear old rock-bottom
spring
That flowed at the foot of the hill.
To which in my romps my thirst I
could bring,
And lie down and drink to my fill.
I long for the plum and the mulberry
trees.
Which afforded US childish delight,
The holly hooks bloom, home OF the
bees,
Slipping in honey from morn till
night
I sigh for my comrades OF boyhood
days.
For the ground over which we did
run.
The old-tirne school house and the
boyish plays,
Where we reveled in pleasure and
fun.
I sigh for the faces I once did love,
So beautiful. 50 gentle and sweet.
But many Of these have gone up
above.
And are now walking the golden
street.
long to rest meath the clods OF my
state,
When the warfare with sin shall be
DER.
Which is ebbing away in quick rapid
rate,
Bearing us on to ,eternity's shore
But dear to my heart as these
thoughts may be,
A sadness comes over my dream;
For I think of those l ne'er more
shall see.
On this side OF deaths icy, cold
stream.
Ny father and mother lie buried
there,
In the cold. silent City of Rest,
My sisters, too, who were ever most
dear.
Have joined them in the land Of the
blest.
