MURDERER ALWAYS
 SAYS "GOOD NIGHT''
FRANK ADAMS, A NEGRO, HAS NOT FAILED TO WISH EVERY ONE IN JAIL PLEASANT DREAMS FOR TWO YEARS.

Frank Adams, a condemned negro mur- derer in the county jail, whose case is now pending before the supreme court, has peculiar habit of telling everybody in the county jail good night" just as the clock strikes 9.
 It Is the rule for the lights in the cells to be put out promptly at o'clock, and at the first stroke of the clock every night Adams begins to call out in loud voice, "It's o'clock" He holds the words as long as his powerful lungs will per init ,and then with the last stroke of the clock he pauses to get his breath.
 As soon as he has recovered, he calls out in equally loud and pathetic tones good night to every prisoner In the jail. Franks good night can be easily heard for some distance outside the jail
 Not once In his confinement of over two years in the jail has he failed to tell his "good night to his fellow unfortunates
 According to the wardens, Frank Is the best-behaved negro in the jail, and nc objection Is made to his conduct at o'clock. He commands the respect of every person in the jail, and only a few do not answer his call with a prolonged good night, Frank"
 Adams was convicted of the killing of a fellow-convict while serving out a. sen tence in Pratt mines. Ever since his ar the jailers very little trouble. He posi- lively denies his guilt, and his case has excited the sympathy of the wardens and visitors to the jail.

I haven't been we'll said MT. Conner, but I feel a great deal better for the sight of you
 My friend blushed trife at this, for she had never before known MT. Conner to be so gracious. While she was won dering how to parry MT. Corners com pliment, MT. Conner leaned over and touching her hand lightly, said:
 Fell me- my dear friend--pray, tell -how-is-the-baby?
 'Babyn cried the young lady blushing to the whites of her eyes. Baby! Why, MT Conner, you know I'm not married"
 Not marriedr exclaimed Mir. Conner. You not married? Why, arn't you the beautiful lady who dined with us last Sunday night at Blount?'
 !" No; I'm not the beautiful lady who dined with you at Blount last Sunday said the girl, and with that she rose and left the car As she did so Mir. Conner seemed to be a trife i'll at case"
 The woman who was telling the story paused for moment.
 Well" said the Cunningham man," I don't see what light that throws on the race for governor"
 "No," said the woman. Well. as I said to begin with, I am neither politician nor the wife of a politician, but think I have sense enough to know that when a man like Mir. Conner begins to ask questions about the babies, 1t is pretty good sign that he's out for some big political office. Don't you think so?''
 The Cunningham man scrutinized his tea cup and made no answer,

pacity. character and attainments of Cap tain Hobson.
 ''The interview of Mir. Moore is re- markable for nothing so much as 1t Is for the suddenly developed rhetorical abil- ity of It's author. I do not think I ex- aggerate when I say that that interview records the high-water mark in Jack s. Moores literary career It discloses the fact that he Is a past master in the art of rhetorical expression, and 1t makes all the people of Walker county sincerely lament the fact that Mir. Moore has so long hidden his literary candle under bushel.
 q feel that Mir Moore is to be con graduated upon the high rank he has so suddenly taken in the profession of writ CTS. His interview Is a distinct contribu- ton to the political literature of tho state. In it's style of expression 1t is indeed masterpiece, and the people of Walker county will await with keen in- terest all forthcoming products of his pen.
 Grows caustIc.
 For reasons of weight" said Mir. Mus grove, T must decline to engage in newspaper controversy with Jack s. Moore It is sufficient for me to state that the Hobson people heartily welcome MT. Moore as the authorized spokesman of Colonel Bankhead in the coming congress sional campaign. When I say author ized,' I use the word advlsedly, for of course, Mr. Moore has too fine a sense of what he calls the fitness of things to pose as Colonel Bankheads sponsor with out the eoloners expressed consent. If Jack will only keep the center of the stage from now till election time. the Hobson people will agree to retire behind I the wings and stay there till the votes are counted. With Mir Moores white plume waving 10 the forefront of Bank heads battle line the Hobson people will rout the colonels forces horse, foot and dragoons.
 Bankhead and Railroads.
 q note that MT. Moore reports the now famous joke that Colonel Bankhead Is heart and soul in favor of railway regu- lation. Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, the colonel evidently will give his hand and his heart to the policy of railway regulation.

 Hobson Will Win. You may just say Captain Hobson will be elected from the Sixth district. The tactics employed by the opposi- ton in the last campaign cannot and shall not be repeated. The people of the district will go from their knees to the ballot box and if need be, from the ballot box to the battlefield. before they will stand for the repetition of what I charge took place in the last election. Colonel Bankheads friends know precisely what we mean when we make that state- ment"
