share of the good things. A member of the Supreme Court was a resident of that county and a distinguished judge. Hon. N. D .Denson, was a candidate for the same honor, and would be elected. as he deserved. Mir. Heflin was himself holding State office He announced with pride that his people at home were standing by him. and he said that he would get some votes in Chambers coun- ty.
 In his rejoinder, Mir Hefiin said that he thanked God for the gift of humor It was a kind gift of Providence that per- mitted men to get together and crack jokes when crops wore bad. and it wouldn't rain. He said that he had real ly been brought back from the serious to the humorous by his opponent.
 He said thst he laughed at the Idea that he had gotten on MT. Smiths good roads platform. The Senator, he said. had been reading scraps of newspaper which had said the good roads were pop uIar. Before the campaign was over, he said, his opponent would be charging that MT. Brownlow was on his plat form.
 MT. Heflin." interrupted Senator Smith. 'T introduced a good roads bill in the State Senate before Mir. Brownlow's bill was presented to Congress.
 'I am glad to hear it.1 said MT. lief lin. T see now where brownlow got his inspiration"
 Whatley for Irehin.
 Mir. Hefin said he had a letter to read from a prominent citizen of Clay coun- ty The letter assured him of support. It was signed W. H. Whatley.
 Tell the crowd" said Senator Smith, that the writer of that letter is a hrnf nP rn dafau1fEnar .tAo NP bate of Clay county, and is without any influence"
 "A brother. but of Q different political faith" said Mir. Hein.
 In replying to a portion of Senator Smiths arguments, the names of Judges Dowdell and Denson were mentioned and both brought forth a round of cheers from the crowd. MT. Heflin closed with two anecdotes and in them got most of his laughter and applause.
 As he finished. he led out the former Congressman from the Second district. introducing him as the '1nimitable Jess "
 Mir. Stallings spoke less than thirty minutes. His speech in the main was a rehash of the arguments he has been making on the stump for the past two weeks. He virtuously announced that he was on a little mission to put none but Democrats on guard.
 Tn beginning. he had some fun with the candidates. Boys" he said, "don t they recommend themselves mighty high ly. Did you hear 'em? Let 'e1n run. They are young. It'll do 'em good. But you know I feel sorry for 'em. They were not born in Butler county INfeel sorry for any man who was not born in Butler county and, these boys were born too near the Georgia line got to think ing about the constitution to-day. You know under the constitution you do not have to live in the district to run for Congress. Now about three more speeches are liable to start me in this race over here"
 Some Stallingsesque Advice.
 Turning to the candidates. he said. Boys. don't put too many blanks in your platform. Its liable to tilt over and spill out. Take my advice. make 1t as narrow as possible pull off your shoes and coats. and run like the dickens"
 His speech was not on as high a plane even as the one delivered at the Mont gomery Theatre. There were more grim aces. more eccentricities and more wild gestures. He called his hearers "hill bil- lies, rosin chawers and as good Demo- crats as anybody"
 He went on to describe the principles of the Hardshell Baptist Church, of which he said he was a member; a church which, he declared. believed in clean feet, clean consciences and no con tribution box. Democrats. every hoof of 'em. and they'll turn you out, too. as quick for not voting the Democrat tick ct as they will for any other sin"
 He praised Mcclellan, but again the lions share of his eulogy was given to Hearst. He again lauded the New York CT, starting with his father and coming on down to the present day. He mention ed German as a good man. whom Demo- crats might support Parker, too. was a good man. but the speaker said he mignt have voted for Mckinley. He declared, too, that he was going to find out how Parker voted before the convention met.
 The three speakers returned to Mont gomery. and spent the night in the city. They will leave for opelika tomorrow morning where Mir. Hefiin and Mir Stall ings are billed to speak. It is possible that Senator Smith will speak. There was some talk last night of a division oi time, but the matter was not definitely \ settled.
