Late Charles A. Nolan.

''ln the death of Charles A. Nolah' the community and district of Birmingham have lost one of it's ablest and most pa- triotic citlzens,i said Frank Polk. "Com- Ing early in the eighties from Tracy city Tenn, he had lent his energies and ster- ling business qualifications to the devel- oprnent of the Birmingham district and the town of Ensley is largely indebted 10 his exertions for its present prosperity
 Possessed of a genial disposition, he was at all times easy of approach, and the 1owlest of those who served him were always sure of sympathetic hearing, and his decisions in all matters were ac- cepted with a certainty of justice. MT. Nolan gave freely of what he had to char ity, and no one in need ever appealed without receiving from his bounty, and there are many who remember with gratitude the kindly word and tender sympathy which was the watch-word Of his creed There are thousands who knew and loved him in life, who now mourn his death and come with word of condolenee for those bereaved ones who mourn for the tender, loving husband and father who has gone to that home above which knows no sorrow, where all is love and mercy"

Well Furnished Offices.

You have some of the best furnished offices in Birmingham to be found in the south" said visitor from Memphis yes- terday. Several years ago I had occa- sion to go into many law offices in Bir- minsham and their appearance would not bear comparison with those of other cities. At that time professional men paid little attention to such matters as pretty rugs and nicely polished furniture. The bare floor or a coarse carpet was sufficient and plain split-bottom chairs were often found.
 Tn many offices in Birmingham you can now see some of the most handsome Turkish and Persian rugs in the coun- try. Nearly every prominent lawyer or capitalist keeps a palm or a jlrdiniere Of ferns in his office and at this season of the year chrysanthemums can be seen in profusion They also use admirable taste in the selection of such things. The furniture and rugs match we'll and the flowers or ferns are so arranged as to give restful feeling to the person who enters You no longer find the cold, clammy offices of lawyers so often read about in books

Party Lines in 1908.

The wiseacres of all sorts are full of predictions relating to ''the dem ocratic future" One set of them says nothing should be done to make Wall street less rich and prosperous. Mr. Debs, who boiled 600,000 votes last week, and MT. Watson, who boiled 500,000 votes, say on the other hand that the democratic party will now go to pieces.
 One set is as near right as the other-that is to say, neither is right. The democratic party is al most as old as the government itself, and 1t will last as long as that gov ernment lasts. The wise men will be compelled to choose hereafter be- tween a stand-pat republican party, and progressive democratic party, and the recent election has not wrought any further or different alignment. In 1908 there will be a party that stands pat on privilege, and there will be one that speaks for the plain people, and the lines will be drawn with clearness and definite. ness. The one party will draw its funds from tariff-bred trusts, the other will not touch dollar from that source, and the people will de- eide between them.
 Neither Wall street nor the firm of Debs ard Watson will be permitted to write the democratic platform of

 The old warhorse from Alabama, Sem ator John T. Morgan, has been heard from on the recent snow storm. Like the stalwart that he Is. he takes the sit uation philosophically, and sees hope where others are dispiosed to see noth- ing but the ashes of remorse In re- sponse to a telegram from William R. Hearst, he diagnosed tine situation in this picturesque style;
 There is no need of reorganization of the democratic party. The underlyira/ principles of democracy are too well known, so this talk O. reorganization is rid,crlous to me. We lost the last fight simnlv because we tried to fight a man who carried a big stick when we were armed with a feather duster. It Is true that half-baked democrats get into the marty now and then, take a peep over the fence and try to run things to suit themselves This Is just what has hap pened.
 The democratic party will continue to live and will rise up at all times when the country is threatened by a big stick man or one who glories in world con- quests Today l don't believe there are 5U0 democrats in the country; but If our constitutional rights were jeopardized the people of the country, who are dem ocratic at heart, would get back into the fold and save the country.

oklahoma and Indian Territory.

B. s. Mcclure, the republican dele gate for Oklahoma has been re-elect- ed and he favors the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one state. It is more than probable that the two territories will be speed fly admitted as one state. If this pc done the new state will have more population, and, therefore, more rep resentatives than sixteen of the exist ing states, including some that have been states from the beginning. In area the new state would be about as large as Alabama, and it would rank as the thirtieth state in the union. AS it would grow cotton as well as corn and other cereals, the new state would soon rank well up in the list
 Oklahoma and Indian Territory would have been admitted long ago
 
 if New Mexico and Arizona had not asked for admission also The repub- licans had determined to keep New Mexico and Arizona out of the 1901 campaign, and for decency's sake they were compelled to oppose the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Now that the 1904 cam paign is out of the way 1t is more than probable that all three will be admitted, thus carrying the number of states up to forty-eight, and clear ing away all territory of the main land. Alaska and the islands of the sea will then remain to be dealt with, for all the rest of America will con sist of states, supposedly sovereign.
