 Leading Republicans here are indif- ferent concerning the nomination of a candidate for Congress to oppose Judge Richardson. and 1t is not believed that a man can be found who is willing to make the race on the Republican ticket just now. It Is wellknown that tho lily whites" would not vote for the Republican candidate. and the party would not make a creditable showing m the Eighth District. This matter will be threshed out at a meeting of the Executive Committee, to be held in Decatur on September 5.

Recall the friendly Colonel Wattrang, who came riding up to our regiment, and gave every man an apple; he is lying with the guardsmen and all the com rades, under the high road at Holof- gin. And have ye in mind my prede- cessor, Nicklas Uppendich, powerful preacher of the Word? He fell in his vestments, before Kalison. Over his grave the grass has grown, and the snow swept and no man can indeed show the place wherein he sleeps"
 Rabenius bent lower over the dying man. and smoothed his hands and fore- head.

 ' Bengt Getting lay still, and over his eyes came a shadow of conjecture Then he slowly lifted his hands as fl in application, and whispered: Lord help me to bring about this! 2 He made a sign that now he could only whisper, and Raben,us laid his face close to his in order to hear his words. . Afterwards the pastor beckoned tc | the soldiers. but his voice trembled SC | that he could hardly make himself heard.
 Now has Bengt Getting spoken" said he. 'It is his last wish that you take him between you on your muskets, and
 carry him to his old place in the ranks | where he was obstinately silent day after day, year after year."
 The drums were now beat and the advance began. and Bengt Getting, lean- ing against the shoulders of his com.

 Bleeding to death. Bengt Getting lay with hands clenched. The hard eyes were wide open, and the stubborn and bony face was so tanned by sun and frost that deaths blue pallor was ap- parent only on his lips.
 'No," answered he.
 "It is the first time I have heard 9 single word from thy mouth, Bengt Eeting!"
 The dying man clenched his hands the tighter and bit those lips of his, which opened against his will to utter words:
 For once," said he, slowly, ''may indeed the most wretched and tattered of the soldiers be allowed to speak,"
 He raised himself little on his el- bow, and at that uttered such a la mentable cry that Rabenius knew not whether it came from tortured soul or body. He put the cup on the ground, and spread his handkerchief over it lest the fitting leaves fall into the brandy.
 And this," he faltered, and pressed his hands on his brows, "this will I. who am a servant of Christ, behold morning after morning. one after the pther!"
 On all sides the soldiers pressed for ward from among the bushes to look at the fallen man, and hearken to his words. But their captain, in gust of anger, drew near with drawn sword.

It is hard enough to fight soldiers who don't know when they are whipped, but to fight with people who do not know when they are dead is a task in which success cannot reasonably be expected, even from the '1nvincible" armies of the Czar.

 The President of the company has been in the Birmingham district dur ing the past two or three days, having come up from New Orleans. and he states that while his concern so far has only two tugs. a tow boat and eigh . teen barges. it is proposed to increase capacities and soon be in shape to ham dle a larger amount of product of the mines. Coal is being bought by the Clifton Company in Jefferson and Walker Counties and handled thence via the Southern Railway to the Mis- sissippi River. where the Southern's tip pie is used in loading same to the barges. So far, no effort has been made to carry the coal below Natchez and vicksburg. MT. Clifton says that the sales of coal made warrant no eff forts being made to push further southward on the river untHxtheA ca pacity of the barge line has been i'm creased or the capacities of the pur- chasing power have been enlarged. With the barge lines of the Pittsburg Coal Company, formerly the Monon. gahela River Coal and Coke Company, and Clifton Company. there should be a large amount of Alabama coal han dled down the Mississippi River from now on.

pamcuHty is Experienced In Securing Orator to Present Congressman LfttleAeId to Speak for Roose-
 veit h Alabama.

Birmingham, Aug. 2s.-(SpeciaL)--' Notwithstanding that 1t Is foregone conclusion how North Alabama will go in the November elections, there are in- dications that the Democrats and the Republicans will carry on little cam paign in this section of the State in the interest of their national tickets.
 The Republicans have called a State gathering to be held in Birmingham on Sept. 18th. at which the principal speaker of the evening will be Senator Littlefleld of Maine. The Parker and Davis Clubs of Birmingham and Jeffer- son County will hold big rally on the same date in Birmingham. Anent the Republican gathering, there comes out an interesting story that the leaders of the party in Alabama are finding trouble in securing local or State speak CTS for the occasion to act as the pre- liminaries to the principal event of the evening.
 Mir. ]. o. Thompson. chairman of the State Committee of the Republican party and the principal referee of the President in this State, desires that the speakers be other than oficeholders or men who have been participating in the party affairs, and so invited sev- eral men of prominence who are known to have Republican principles. to be speakers on this eventful evening. Re I. plies are said to be piling in and some startling information leaks out. Prom inent men are said to have answered the invite to address this gathering by saying "that though they have always voted the Republican ticket and believa in Republican principles, they cannot vote for President Roosevelt, nor can they, with all respect, address a Re- publican gathering" or words to the above effect. Following the recent tilt between Chairman Thompson and Judge Jones of the Federal Court, in regard to the removal of offlceholders and prospective appointments, the new turn in finding trouble in securing desirable speakers for the great gathering. adds somewhat to the perplexity of the Re- publicans.
 It is developing that many Republi . cans in North Alabama will either re- main away from the polls altogether in November or vote for Judge Parker, feeling distressed at the negro plank in the Republican platform.
