THAT is the picture which Mr.. Watson
draws and :lle prophecy he makes. Yet
knowing that the Republican party Is
in partnership and league with The trusts
he Is doing all that lie can to d,aW
voters away from the Dcnotc:'nto noni-
nee, and SO increase the chances Of
Rcosevelts election and the return Of
the Republican party to power. More
over, he makes friendly excuses foh
President Roosevelt, and he makes a
savage assault upon Judge Parker, charg-
ing that he is a sham Democrat.
This is curious inconsistency and
would be a strange Inconsistency II MIR.
Watson did not make his motive so
plain. He says that Il Juag1 raiker
would speak out plainly and reil the peo-
rle that he is in principle the Same thing
practically that Roosevelt rs, the Demo-
Gratis would fall away from him b. the
million, and that he, Watson, would
then be enabled to organize such u par
~ Of revolt against Republican rn!e as
would sweep the country. Mr.. Watson
knows that his suggestion is absurd,
and that nobody will taks It seriously,
but he is in hope that he will rally aron"d
himself all the Disseminated Democrats,
all the extreme followers VI Mr. Bryan,

should be elected and the revolution,
which he predicts should come 10 pass,
lie would be the leader Of tho revolu-
tionary party and ride into power. It is
a shrewd game of politics that he is
playing, and it is no wonder thot the
Republicans are giving him encourage

NEGRO HAD STOLEN
 MANY PACKAGES
USED KEY TO HIS OWN LOCK BOX AT TUSCALOOSA PoSToFFIcE. FORMERLY STUDENT AT rus kEGEE.

Tuscaloosa, April 14.-(Special.) )-For some time the officials at the postoffice have been much disturbed by the numer- ous complaints from persons expecting packages and failing to receive them. A watch was set some while ago, but it was only yesterday that the guilty party was discovered. Suspicion rested on ne- gro, John Colbert, who had a box at the office and had two keys. It sometimes happens that a key opens more than one box and the negro evidently made this discovery some while ago. It was his custom to visit the office every morning nt about o'clock, presumably to make a tour of the boxes containing packages. It so happened that Ben F. Eddins' box was one he could unlock.
 There was no package in Eddns' box when the negro arrived on the scene yes terday morning, so a package was placed unlocked it and removed it. Deputy Mar shal Kennermer of Birmingham was im- mediately wired for and came down and arrested the negro. His home was search ed and many things were discovered. On his person was found the contents of the package which he had taken in the morn Ing, containing gold stick pins cuff but tons and other valuables which were re- turned to Mir Eddins The negro is about 2S years of age and is an eX-student of Booker Washingtons school. MT. Ed- dins is attending the trial, which is be- ing held at Birmingham today.

DIR. STAGG TALKS
 ON SUNDAY REST
DR. HANDLEY READS REPORT ON MINISTERIAL RELIEF AT PRES BYTERY MEETING IN JASPER. SUNDAY SCHOOLS DISCUSSED.

Jasper, April H.-(Special )--At the con Dr. Stagg of Birmingham read a report on the International Sunday Rest con gress, recommending that the North Ala bama Presbytery send two delegates to this congress, which meets at the world s fair in October. The report was adopted.
 Dr. Handley of Birmingham read a .e- port on ministerial relief, which was not adopted but recommitted to the commit tee because it was claimed that 3lk per cent of the salary of the pastors of some of the churches were asked while some were asked to give an arbitrary amount.
 The discussion of Sunday school work took up the greater part of the morning. The Rev. D. N. McLauchlin of the First church of Anniston opened the discuss sion by a very interesting talk on the im- portance of Sunday school work. Dr. A. C. Merrill of Woodlawn discussed the rela- tion of the family to the Sunday school. stating that the Sunday school has not taken the place of home instruction, but has aided 1t, and in way forced the parents to give home instruction.
 The preparation and teaching of the lesson was discussed by the Rev. MT. Lis ton of Oxford.
 The Revs. P. B. Webb L. s. Handley and Dr. J. W. Stagg offered good sugges- tions on Sunday school work.
 The Rev. w. A. Daniel of Avondale preached the sermon this morning. having for his subject, Adoption"
 The next meeting of the Presbytery will be held at Ebenezer. in Madison county.
