SANFORD OUT FOR
 LIEUT. GOVERNOR Is Practically Settled He Will
 Make the Race H. B. GRAY VERY POPULAR State Board of Examiners Makes lm- portant Ruling In Connection
 With Issuing Second Grade
 Teachers Certificates.
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, May 2S.-(Specal) )-Hon. William H. Sanford son of the lamented Governor Sanford of precious memory. In Alabama, will, 1t is practically set tied be a candidate for the democratic nomination for lieutenant governor at the primaries in 1906. He lives at Troy and was chosen by the democratic convention last Wednes- day to be one of the electors at large from Alabama. He is very popular, with a generous and cordial disposition that makes friends rapidly.
 l is is believed here that Colonel Sam ford will poll many votes because of the love men had for his father. They will feel, 1t Is thought, that it will be fitting to give to the son what death deprived the father of at the hands of the people of Alabama. Colonel Sanford was seen while here this week by number of friends who talked the matter over with him, 1t is said.
 The candidacy of MT. Henry B. Gray of Jefferson for this position Is discussed in the light of its effect upon Dr. R. M Cunningham race for the governorship It is regarded as probable that the entry into the race for the second place on the ticket of MT. Gray will be resented by other sections of the state, which will contend that two men from the same county is going to be too heavy.
 Caused Mir. McDavld's Action.
 It Is well known that this reason was the most prominent one that kept D. R. McDavid. secretary of state, from the conside fation of a second term. It will be remembered that when MT. McDavid was appointed he announced at once that he would not make the race for the full term. He did this because he ex- pected pr. Cunningham to be in the race and his idea was to avoid anything to the effect that Jefferson was trying to hog the offices.
 Aside from this the popularity of MT. Cray .s marked This was seen at the sessions of the convention last Wednes- day. He has grown wonderfully In the estimat ation of the democracy of the state during the past two years and 1t Is safe to say that many good men would be very happy to vote for him and see him inc honored "vice president Of the state This popularity extends all over the state ani is being evidenced espec- iaIlv since he has been discussed Tor greater honors.

Wetumpka's Institution.

The same good words may be said of the management of the Fifth District school at Wetumpka this coming in for high commendation from the state off eers of the board. The two local mem bers of the board are MT. M Hohenberg and MT. s. c. Jenkins, both of Wetumpka. It will be remembered that the governor, the superintendent of education and the commission of agriculture are three of the five members of each one of the agri- cultural school boards.
 President H. J. Willingham was unani- mously reelected president of the school, with Miss Lovie Fielder one of the teach CTS in the agricultural grades. An agri- culturist will be chosen later. Misses Belle Trawick Lizzie Gamble and Liz- zie Hunter were elected for the following respective grades in the preparatory de- partment: rifth and sixth grades, third and fourth grade and first and second grades.

he met Mrs. Minnie Wilson, a dashing
young woman. He wrote TO wife No.
