From what we can hear. Cunningham will carry Marengo for Governor hands down.
 If Mir. Conner had forced the railroads to fix up their road beds and otherwise improve their property to a state of ef- ficiency and safety instead of trying to get the Governors office by the rafe- question route. he would have been more in favor In this county. It really cared anything about the interests Of the people. but simply political ad- yancement, or he would be satisfied to remain Commissioner.
 On the other hand. Cunningham has always worked in the interest of the people and means to make them a lev- eiheaded. just and fair Governor, and will give every interest q square deal

TWO PAGES TELL OF A
 MILLION-DOLLAR BUSINESS
Fine Display Advertisement in This Issue Of the Robbie and Teague Company, an Immense
 Montgomery Establishment

Special attention is directed to the advertisement of the Hobbie & Teague Company, which appears in another portion of to-day's Advertiser. The advertisement, In question occupies vertisement ever used by a wholesale grocery house in Alabama, and prob- ably in the South. in a single issue of a newspaper.
 The advertisement contains a spec ial announcement of eight lines of goods sold exclusively by this immense concern. Reference Is also made to g number of other lines which they push.
 The Hobbie & Teague Company is one of the oldest concerns in Mont gouiery, and the fact that their busi- ness has grown from year to year un- til their annual sales at present ex- ceed more than a million dollars. is a splendid evidence that they are pro- gressive and liberal in their treatment of their patrons. Their salesmen travel in several States and are con- stantly widening their territory.
 It will be of interest to the uninform- ed to know that this mammoth whole sale grocery establishment handles more than one hundred thousand in the year, and their trade on this par ticular brand, the "El Sidelo." is in- creasing every day.
 The Hobbie & Teague Company has recently taken the exclusive agency for the famous Factory Loaded Shot Shells manufactured by the Western Cartridge Company. of East Alton. H., and while these shells have only been introduced into this terri tory about 90 days, they have sold more than four car loads to date.
 The Hobbie & Teague Company IS particularly proud of their exclusive agency in this territory for the South ern States Portland Cement Co.,, of

 The first day of the new year will be made notable in Montgomery by the appearance at the Montgomery Theatre of Richard Mansfield. The great actor is playing a wide repertoire this sea- son. He has not announced the play he will produce in Montgomery. Tho Hirscher Brothers feel happy over their ability to secure Mir. Mansfield for the pleasure of their patrons. It is note worthy, too, that they have a contract for the appearance of Kyrle Bellew m "Raffies" at the Perry Street playhouse early in January.

More than two thousand bar rels were used in the construction Of The New Exchange Hotel. of this city. and large quantities are being used In the construction of other buildings m and around Montgomery.
 This company also has the exclusive agency in this territory for Kite" To- bacco. the best standard grade chew ing tobacco manufactured. Kite" To- bacco was awarded the gold medal at the St. Louis Exposition for its excel lence. The Hobbie & Teague Company buy Kite" Tobacco in solid car load lots with great frequency from the manufacturers, Messrs. Brown & Will iamson. winston-Sa N. C..
 "Crispo" Crackers. manufactured by the Sawyer Biscuit Company, of Chi cago, the best 5-cent cracker sold In this market, is also sold exclusively oy this concern, as well as Pelican Flour. the finest biscuit flour milled. which is manufactured by the Pinckneyville Milling Co.,. of Pinckneyville. Ill.
 Another important exclusive agency of this enormous grocery estaonsn- ment is that of Wood Fiber Plaster, manufactured by the Great Western Plaster Co, of Lawrence. Kansas
 It is a very unusual thing to see wholesale grocers use such large ad- vertising space in a daily newspaper, and the fact that the Hobbie & Teague Company are using two pages In to- days Advertiser, is strong evidence that this wide-awake concern Is not satisfied with the fact that 1t is doing more than a million dollar business annually, but are out after the two- million-dollar mark good and strong. With such methods as they are em- blowing, 1t will doubtless be a question of but a short time until this mark will be reached. Adv.

American singer. in Europe.

4 Writing of the trials and trlbulations of American singers who go to Europe to gain recognition, Mildred Aldrich in The Theatre Magazine for December says:
 'To most singers who have sought recognition abroad there is but one drawback to the European career. It Is not love of home that lures them back to the United States--it is money: It looks fine to put de fOpera' or de POpera Conique' on one's visiting card. as is the habit in Europe, but there is another side to it. Many debutante has sung at the Opera Comiaue for nothing, some have paid, and some have had the magnificent salary or soo francs a month (Just shy of $40.) One of the most prominent debutantes at the opera saw 5000 francs paid over for her debut and one of those who was there two years as regular mem Der of the troupe earned 5000 francs a year (s25 a week., and she was con- sidered favored. Cities like Bordeaux often get debutantes at 800 francs (s6O) a month, and in theatres of that sort singers provide their own cos- tunes So 1t is small wonder that having got ones education one wants to earn money fin the United States. The great wonder Is that everyone wants a place in America in the front rank. at very many dollars minute, and lacking that, would rather stay in Europe on nothing. There is, of course, an explanation for this. Once bitten by thes pesky microoe of continental life-weIl, the disease is incurable There may come a Nemesis. Many a foreigner has eyes turned to America and is learning English. to sing in English opera. Only one thing will save the situation for the Americans the Europeans have not the voices in the rank and file.

Adelaide Hermann and Company.

When the curtain rose some weeks ago at the Columbia Theatre in wash ington, D. C., upon the entertainment given by Adelaide Hermann and her company there confrQpted the noted entertainers a most fashionable audi ence. one that collects only upon rare occasions in the nations capital.
 The boxes were occupied by menn- bers of the diplomatic corps, promi- nent among whom were the Korean minister, family and suite. Magic ap- peals strongly to the people of the Orient, and the engagements Of the Hermann Company in Washington Is always attended by officialdom from that portion of .he globe, the Far East, where the elder Hermann had visited and played before royalty upon several occasions, years before. The magic of Madam Hermann is appreciated prob- ebly more by them than even by the great American public, although magic can be said to be one of the institu- tions of the Orient.
 As heretofore stated the Korean min ister and suite were interested specta- tors of the Hermann engagement at the Columbia Theatre and the delight with which they witnessed Adelaide Herrmann's appearance in the act which is entitled "A Night in Japan" dressed in a magnificent Japanese gown, and performed several myste- rious feats, such as the growing rose bushes wherein the roses are material ized from few seeds placed in flower pots and distributed to the audience, they were all attention. It was when Madam Hermann took three large glasses and filling two with water and one with some light preparation, turn ed the water In one glass to coffee, Tn the other to milk and the third glass AAz st~.4o G..
 to loaf sugar. that their delight was unbounded. Madam Hermann then poured the milk into a pitcher, the cof- fee into smallIcups and the sugar into the sugar bowl. and placing them on a trays passed them into the box for Korean inspection. The lady of tho party (probably the Ministers wife) accepted a cup and tasting it. passed It to the minister. accompanying the &C., tion with animated gestures and con- versation. The minister also tasted 1t, and smilingly returned the cup to the

tray. The audience received the inci- dent with a round of applause.
 The Japanese minister and Chinese minister also witnessed the perform ance.

The large organization of world-renowned singers will be at the Montgomery Theatre on the night of December 2s and will sing 'Lohengrin."
 The company, undoubtedly the best one ever organized in America for the purpose of rendering grand opera fin English, is this year formed on far more important lines than in the past, being a combination of the best forces of the "Parsifal" and English grand opera companies of last season and which met with so much favor at the

West and VOkes.
 A big house welcomed West and vokes with "A Pair of Pinks." says Richmond paper. From the warmth of the reception given the company the show will run well all week. It will deserve a capacity business, for the en- tertainment given is up to the high standard set this season for the popu- lar Broad Street house.
 "A Pair of Pinks" boasts some of the brightest lines yet offered an audience in musical farce at popular prices. The hits are good and clean and while some of the jokes were too keen and they came too close together at times to let us hand each other a laugh, they were fresh and clever and an enormous relief after the various grades handed out by slap-stick comedians.
 West and Vokes. as Percy and Har- old. the Pinkertons, did comedy brother-act which Is really worth while making a special effort to see Harry NJ. Stewart. who plays Ikey Lock. and Eddie Judge as a "rube" constable gave them splendid support. Margaret Daly vokes sings with a comedy effect sirni- lar to that used by her late brother, Dan Daly. She dances well and with the others mentioned make up what is best in the cast. The dancing is all good, the chorus pretty and the cos tunes new. It's a show to make a dys- peptic forget his troubles.

'sThe Runaways," the musical com edy in which George Evans Is playing the leading part, will be seen at the Montgomery Theatre Friday night of next week with the New York Casino production.
 When the company was organized 1t was the intention to have Mir. Evans play the principal role. Blutch. but at that time MT. Evans had a contract in vaudeville and he was prevented from taking the part. This is "The Honey Boys" first opportunity to play part which had been originally created for him. There are a number of other changes in the cast but the new per formers are said to be as prominent In the theatrical world and as well fitted for theif respective parts as their pre- decessors and the company will not lose In prestige ,as result of the changes.
 The race track scene at Saratoga, the betting ring at that famous resort, the Island of Table D'Hote. the tree of truth and the many other features of '"The Runaways" which made it craze in New York at the time of it's noted seven months run at the Casino, have all been retained, 1t is said, for the present production.
 'SThe Runaways," Is a lyrical triumph and the music of the show has been auQcu tO Oy d IuilDeF or SDeelaItleS from the fertile brain of Mir Evans.
