A. NJ Tunstal1 Of Greensboro, speaker
of the Alabama house of representatives,
arrived in Birmingham last night on
private business" and registered at the
Metropolitan
When asked what were his views re-
garding the coming race for governor in
this state Mr.. Tunstall looked very much
as Mark Twain did when the Roman
guide in pure Italian was descanting on
the virtues of some saint dead 800 years
or more. Mark. it will be remembered.
didn't understand a word of the liquid
Roma linguana." For the moment, at
best, it seemed that Mr.. Tunstall had
quite forgotten he was speaker of the
house of representatives and remembered
only that he was a cotton planter and
that the grass and weeds on his planta-
ton were twice as high and three times
as thick as the cotton.
Did Mr. Tnnstall think that Mr.. Conner
would run for governor?
The cotton crop was in bad shape, said
Mr., Tunstall.
If Mr.. Conner should run for governor,
would he defeat DR.. Cunningham?
Birmingham was a great town. said
Mr.. Tunstall, and growing greater every
day.

would the railway rate reform move-

Mr.. Tunstall, quoting the poets lines.
Would the legislature be called IN ex-
ira session to fix the railway rates2

And so on for half an hour.
At length the sphinx relaxed a trihe
and said
politics is quiet in my county. I've
beard two or three men down there say
they were in favor of Mallory of Selma
for governor
Then, after a while, came this deiphic
utterance:
so far as l know, it is not altogether
probable that the legislature will be con-
vened in extra session to fix the railway
rates"
Here is what the Greensboro sphinx
said about the lieutenant governorship;
Il am told that Henry B. Gray G. J.
Meadow and w H. Sanford are eandi-
dates for lieutenant governor. All of
them are admirable men. The office would
be safe In the hands of any one of
them

A BIG LAND DEAL.
Chicago Parties Purchase Large Tract

Jack Covle of the Lacy Realty COM

sion alone amounting to $500 Mr.. Coyle

ceiving the congratulations of his friends.
This Is one of the largest deals in timber
lands that has taken place in Alabama
in years, and speaks well for the hustling
qualities of Mr.. Coyle. Mr.. Coyle is gen.

Compares Favorably.
While these results are rather low. the
Cahaba river compares very favoraDiy
during such low water periods with the
Warrior river The lowest flow per acre
in the Cahaba river at Centreville Is
.0S6 seeond-feet, while 1t was in 1897
low as O2 for the Warrior liver at Tus-
caloosa $50 cubic feet for 1900 square miles,
and during a period of SO days at Tusca-
loosa 1t was only .03l. The cause of these
low values in discharge during low water
periods in the Warrior river, percolaticn
into subteranean outlets " ould without
doubt make the value of storage dams
on that stream problematical. We believe
that such dams on the Cahaba river
would be much more reliable for storage
of water than on the Warrior river.

Mr.. r. III. Aldrich calls attention to the
fact that there is ample coal at Helena
for pumping station, and that the gov

vations nearby for reservoirs which would

there is no water problem In the Bir-
