MIR. COMER IN TOWN
CANDIDATE, ON WAY TO LOTHIAN,
 CHATS OF CAMPAIGN.
President of Railroad Commission is ln Favor of Early Prfmary-WuI Meet Dr. Cunningham at
 RuseellyflIe.

Hon. B. B. Conner. the newly an- nounced candidate for Governor of Ala bama in the next Democratic primary, passed through Montgomery last night en route to Dothan to deliver cam paisn address. It will be the first deliverance of the new candidate since his formal announcement at Talladega a few days ago.
 While in Montgomery MT. Corher said to a representative of The Ad- vertiser that he would meet Lieuten- ant Governor R. M. Cunningham, his opponent in the gubernatoriai race, next Monday in Russellville. This Will be a joint debate and while 1t was not exactly pre-arranged each of the candidates knows a week in advance of the others decision to appear in the county seat of Franklin county.
 Dr. Cunningham's friends last night humorously remarked on the daring or the president of the Railroad Commits sion to go to the very home spot of his formidable opponent to begin his campaign. The circumstances of the making of the program was more or less accidental, however, and Mir. Com CT was the first to choose Russellvtile as the point where he will make his third speech counting that of his an nouncement in Talledega,
 T had made arrangements to go to RussellvilIe next Monday because 1t will be court week." said Mir. Conner last night T understand that the friends of Dr. Cunningham urged him to go there the same day and I sup pose we will speak together the first time on that occasion"
 Mir Conner will make other address es in the northern part of the State before he gets back to his routine bus mess. These early speeches give indi- cations of the rate-reform candidate leaning to an early primary and MT Conner was asked last night If he was or a late primary.
 "I am now, and all the time, in fav- or of an early primary" replied the president of the Railroad Commission. Why not go ahead and get through with the thing on the jump. I don't care if we have the primary in April. I had rather have it then, in fact. would be willing to come to an agree ment on this point with Dr. Cunning ham although we have not talked 1t over But have business to attend to and I cannot afford to run always, you see"
 And then MT. Conner, who, by the way, was apparelled in his most su- perb Sunday clothes, began to talk of why he was running for the Govern orship. He reiterated what he said at TalIadega and repudiated the claim of his opponents that he has no business entering the race but had better stay in his present office.
 q am getting to be an old man. can't you see," added he. 'I cannot run always This question--referring to railroad rate making-has got to

be settled quickly. There is no doubt that the Commission would be enjoined If 1t attempted to raise the rates and there would be an idefinite delay"
 How about the argument of the friends of the late primary" was ask ed of Mir Conner.
 You mean as to allowing the new voters to register? Oh. that is ex- aggerated quite a good deal, my friend, there will not be so many who will be qualified to vote in & late primary in the same year that will not have opportunity in the early primary" was the reply.
 MT. Conner, after the speech at Doth an today, will rest for a week, so far as the political part of his affairs is concerned and will get all his facul- ties in shape for @ fresh combat with his opponent in Dr. Cunningham s stronghold, Russellville. It will be re- membered that in the race for Lieu tenant Governor the genial Ensley doc- tor boiled every vote. in Franklin coun- ty but thirty.

Attendance at Inspection .

The attendance at annual inspection last year was not what 1t should have been and for which there Is no good excuse. The inspection is to be made earlier next year and the commanding officers are urged to begin right now their effort to have every officer and man In line on that oecasion-nothing speaks so well for the command and all the members can be brought out with the proper effort. The per cent age should be largely increased at next inspection. In order to do this the commanding officer must have good at tendance at the regular drills, and in order to do this 1t is suggested that ft will prove most efficacious to instruct as many of the regular attendants, who are leaders of certain numbers of mem bers to talk forcibly and frequently of the benefits of a better attendance.

Suitable ArmOrIes .

In most of the States the cities and towns in which military companies ex- ist, furnish the armories and the places arc suitable and well adapted to the purpose for which they are used. Such is not the case here in Alabama, as in many instances the companies are not provided with suitable quarters. It Is fact that in some of the places such places are not to be found and In these instances armories should be built. It is very necessary, especially in the winter months to have halls large enough to drill in as 1t is too cold to drill out doors. With the allowance from the State, with the aid from the County and cities there Is no reason why the very best and most commo- dious quarters should not be secured.

Montgomery ought to do, something to attract the people here this winter as there will be no fair or other att traction, and suggest a prize drill be- tween the organizations of the Nation al Guard of the State. who may care to enter. It would arouse spirit of rivalry that would prove most bene- ficial and the occasion is sure to be a pleasant one to the boys in a social way.
 The drills might extend over two days and prizes might be offered that would attract all the surrounding town companies to take part in the compe- tition. Sham battles and other attrac- tions might also be arranged.
 The street car companies might be interested in the project and do enough to make 1t worth while to get 1t up. What say the local military command CTS to the suggestion?

Nevertheless, the Hayes Valley Club,

host of followers among the sporting
fraternity who never fail to turn out
to see him fight. Since the match be-
tween Britt and Sullivan was made
several weeks ago, both fighters have
been training faithfully and reports
from their respective quarters today
