WOuld be nt Sea without Some Good
 Lawyers.

The next legislature of the great State of Alabama should be made up of good substantial farmers and business men, and the great army of politicians and lawyers always seekinE to go there shouid be left to stay at home. Then, and not til then. will we have common se&1se iaws, and not so many will be declared unconstitutional by the courts.
 The farmers are the backbone of the country and it could not run day without them, and they should always have a big saying as to what is to De done. x~

Tt is very evident to old time citi- seps who read The Advertiser this morning" remarked a veteran citizen of Montgomery yesterday 'that the editor of the paper did not see before publication the Article which was puo- Hshed about Alabama's beloved war Governor. the late Hon, Thomas h. Watts, who died in September, 1892. He is perfectly familiar with all the facts In the case.
 Governor Watts was all that the article says he was as to ability, patriotism and purity of life and heart; He was. however, never member or Congress. The most exciting campaign for Congress in Alabamas history up to that time was the one in 1855 be. tween Governor Watts and Colonel James F. Dowdell. of Chambers Coun. . ty, father of Associate Supreme court Judge J. R. Dowdell. If the Whigs had all voted for Governor Watts he would have been elected. considera- ble number, however, were opposed 10 the Native American or Know Nothins policy of which Governor Watts was an advocate and enough of them either voted Against him or refrained rom voting to cause his defeat. The ma jority against him in the district was very small.
 it is well enough while living wit, nesses are with us to correct historicaI mistakes and for that reason venture to call attention to the one nave men toned"
