TWO SIDES TO THE

 Committees Action.
II MAY YET BE APPEALED

In view of the controversy which has arisen in Walker county over the action of the democratic executive committee fixing the qualifications of voters in the county primary and in view of the fact that there are two sides to the question. the Age-Herald this morning prints the following two accounts in order that in- justice may not be done to either side:

CONTROVERSY AS ID ITS ACCURACY Dispute Has Come Up in the
 Seventh District SECOND ACCOUNT IS GIVEN Friends of Congressman Burnett Claim That Report of the AlbertviIle
 Debate Did Him an
 Injustice.

The Age Herald has received several letters and communications from the Seventh congressional district in regard to the report of the debate between Con gressman Burnett and MT. Lusk of AL bertville on Wednesday last, claiming that the report was partisan In favor of MT. Lusk.
 The Age-H Herald received one report from its Guntersville correspondent and received another report too late for pub lication from its Albertville correspon- dent. In order to be just and fair, the Age-Herald herewith prints the Albert vile report, which was sent by MT. J. H. Meigs and which arrived too late for pub lcation.
 MT. Meigs has also written letter in which he says the people of Albertville have taken deep offense at the paragraph in the report printed Thursday morning. which says:
 Considerable feeling was shown by some members of the audience as there had been threats by some ardent Burnett supporters to the effect that Lusk would probably not be allowed to speak
 Mir Meigs says there was no such talk by anybody present and asserts that there are no more law-abiding and cour- teous people anywhere than In the Al bertville section. He says the only dis turbance during the entire speaking was by a man who was drunk and continued to hurrah for Lusk.
 The Age-Herald Is endeavoring to give absolutely fair and unbiased reports. but sometimes it's correspondents, who may have deep feelings in the political con- test, write their reports. giving more their views than the actual news. In al. cases the Age-Herald endeavors to cut out opinions and In order to be perfectly fair in this contest, we herewith print the report sent in by MT. Meigs, which would have been printed the morning af- ter the debate had 1t been received in time
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-04-02
as follows:
Report of J. N. Meigs.

Albertville, March O.-(Special.)-Con- gressman John l.. Burnett and the Hon. John A. Lusk spoke to a large crowd here today. The crowd, which numbered some seven or eight hundred. was decid- edly q Burnett crowd. This Is the sec ond large crowd they have spoken to in this county and each crowd was decidedly for Burnett. It looks now as though Burnett would carry Lusk's home county.
 The Sand mountain territory Is espec- ially strong for the little congressman, whom these people say has been their true and faithful servant during six years in congress, and since MT. Lusk has failed to find anything against his official record they are satisfied to re- turn him. The charge made by MT. Lusk that MT. Burnett voted for bill in congress to pension federal scouts and guides is not denied by Burnett The bill was introduced and supported by Gen. Joe Wheeler, Congressman William Richardson and other ex-Confederate soldiers who favored getting all the pen sion money possible for the south, since 1t was impossible to secure pensions for ex-Confederate soldiers.
 Has Hurt Ills Cause.
 The fact that MT. Lusk has failed to pay taxes for the past four years on his law library. which Mir Burnett and his friends have shown to be the case. has hurt MT. Lusk's cause with the people. He has placed himself in the position as a tax-dodger, and Mir. Lusk has not been able to convince the people other wise. The debates between them have been interesting and enthusiastic from start to finish
 Albertville beat, one of the largest in Marshall county. will go almost two to one in favor of Burnett.
 It Is claimed by conservative men that Guntersville and Wyeth City, Lusk' s home, will go against him.

The tide has recently turned very much against MT. Conner for railroad rommis- sioner, and it now looks as if MT. smith will beat him two to one
 The fact that Mr.. Comer's character has been so attacked and his record with labor has hurt him very much, so 1t now seems that the little enthusiasm that was shown for him in the beginning is waning and Mir Smiths friends are con- fident of his nomination.

 My Dear Professor: In your letter of last month you advised me as follows:

 I understand there is now no doubt Of the canal being built, and work will shortly begin. I would like very much to see the cement mill at Sparta under oper- ation. I hope you can give me favorable and inside information as to what is to be done, and when. Yours very truly, (Signed) c. A. PARK, Gen. Immigration and Industrial Agent.

In anticipating the total outcome OF

as compared with last year must be

per acre would represent above 1000,
900 bushels. The season was unfavor
