We occasionally hear of house par
ties, but rarely do we hear of a bache-
Tor who opens his home for such pur-
pose, especially during leap year and
when there are young ladies in the
crowd. However, that there are ex-
ceptionS to all rules, was proven last
Sunday when Ray Gleason threw open
the doors of his bachelor quarters on
the Saline and entertained party of
young ladies and gentlemen who had
gone picnicing- The weather though
exceedingly damp did not prevent a
most ENJOYABLE time. Now other in
yitations will be expected for other
rainy days, supposing of course. the
boys will furnish the same opportu-
mites for this year which are accorded
them by the young ladies during other
years

The Negro Has No Party.

MOuItOn AdVertlSer.
 Colonel Sol Martin and Major Green Etheredge addressed the Republican mass convention here last week.. The burthen of their remarks was a white Pepubli- can party. and these harsh expressions such colored men as Nose Alexander and Henry Stewart, the former a successful farmer and the latter prominent office holder. who attended the meeting in obedience to the call of their chairman who have paid their poll tax, registered and are qualified voters under the new constitution of Alabama. For three de- eades the negroes were the foundation stones of the Republican party in Law renee County and now the remaining few whom the Democrats said were compe- tent are slapped in the face by their former political associates. What sad spectacle of ingratitude to witness such a scene--to see a body of white men. who have used the negroes as pack mules for thirty years, now turning their backs on them and proclaiming in d sen sttive manner what the g. o. p. has &C., compllshed. It reminds us of the ,nhu- man wretch who, after working his cid horse nearly to death. turned him out on the commons to starve. Ring down the curtain and hide the horrid picture forever from view, TOT 1t is only it to gazed at by Satan and his imps. Hon. James E. NeSmith was also present and made a fiery speech. but as his remarks were altogether personal to another (now ex-) Republican who kicked over the dashboard and landed in the Democr atic party, we deem 1t best to refrain from further comment
