 We especially recommend him to the young men of the district. as has always aided in afl our efforts. and encouraged all of our organizations.

 Mir. Preer, in sending thts list to ME; signatures just as easily as the o~as above, for every man Ito the man. s.i ed who was asked to, but aS thought you would want to use It at once In a circular, I thought would not make it too long. All the names, or nearly ali, are young men, as you will Sec. Capt.. Griffin signed for his entire company Wiea their consent.
 If you see it. you may use what l have written, also my signature; Yours. The time is short. and every friend of Mr, Cats should help to Inform the voters of his character and abilities. Having known him since we were boys, would feel that I had not discharged my duty unless should say to the voters that no more able young man lives. Educated for the bar, with several years experience as a minister of the Gospel and as a worker in ali good causes. he is neverthe- less one of the most successful farmers and business men in Alabama It he is nominated and elected; he will waste no time in idle talk. but will continue the good work so happily begun by his late predecessor. ~a I sincerely commend him to all people.

TIMBER AND STONE LANDS,
Hearing on Bills to Repeal Present
 IaWB

Hearing on Bills to Repeal Present
 Laws.
 Washington, March 30-A hearing on Senate and House bills for the repeal of the timber and stone acts of the public land laws was held to day by the House Committee on public lands.
 Representative Hogg. of Colorado, viz 'orously protested against repeal of these laws and Representative Reeder of Kansas favored their repeal MT. Reeder asserted that the public lands of the country were being disposed of under these acts at an alarming rate and at a price ($2.50 per aere) much below their real value. Tn this way the valuable timber and stone lands were being ac- quired by large holders. Mill men and lumber men were acquiring the timber lands and the stone lands were being gathered in by quarrymen. A man would buy 16O acres at s2.5O per acre and then sell 1t to a company.
 Mir. Hogg maintained that If She repeal bills were passed. Colorado should be eliminated from their operation. The men who acquired land under the timber and stone acts in his State were poor men and if they did sell to a corporation they made a profit on the deal which was perfectly legitimate. The committee postponed consideration to Friday.

 The State ticket for the Democratic prl- mary in the Fifth District will be dif- fcrent from the ticket of any other Con- gre ssIonal district in the State.
 The ticket in the Fifth will bear the names of six candidates for Congress printed in two different places, one list below the other. One list will give the voter an opportunity of voting for hts choice for the second term and the see- ord will give him the chance of express ing his preference for the full term. In other words. each voter will vote twice for Congressman. It Is possible that one man may win the nomination for the un- expired term and a second candidate se- cure the nomination for the full term.
