 Marion Standard: The announcement or Henry B. Gray, candidate for lieutenant governor. appears in the Standard this week. together with his platform of prin- ciples
 The Standard had occasion some weeks since to mention the possible candidacy Of MT. Gray, in which article we took oc- casion to tell what we knew of him. His letter is characteristic of tfAs man. Hon est, earnest, rugged Henry Gray is a self-made man. He has made life suc- cess from a business standpoint and his i influence felt in matters of public concern by first knowing right and duty and standing pat. No man who knows him will question that Henry Gray means every word he says in his public letter, and will stand with both feet on these principles. He comes to conclusion care fully and thoughtfully and once he takes a position can only be moved by the clearest argument. That he has been a friend of the needy, and the fellows who are down, has won him favor among a class who will not forget to vote for him. That his clear-eut judgment has been sought and followed on questions of pub lie policy as well as on business proposi- tions of magnitude has instilled a confi- dence among another class who will vote for him because they recognize his ability. | That he Is honest and manly, and has the nerve to stand by his convictions makes of him a leader that still another class appreciates from the fact that they pre- fer another than themselves who VIII stand firm on the brastworks in the thick est of the fight. And lastly he will re- | ceive support from class who have
 oftimes seen shekel go into the little box that relieves want and helps hu- manity and religion when none are the
 wiser except the All Seeing Eye. This is Henry Gray, matters not what the politi- clans and stump speakers may have to say of him either for or against. If he were made governor Alabama would never
 have cause to regret 1t.

 N AIMING ones country home is a
 P much more important mat matter 1T
 ' than one who has never taken it
 up would be likely to suppose It Is not
 customary here, as it Is in England, to
 call every detached villa by some senti-
 mental title; but the fashion of giving
 name to one's house in the country or in
 some suburban town grows more popular
 every day. The houses name may be
 pregnant with hidden meaning to those
 who have the secrets
 The French names, such as Mon De-
 sir" Mon Hiilsr," 'Bonne Terre,'
 Belle Air" once so fashionable, have
 all but disappeared So have the intense
 ly sentimental names usually derived
 from some floral combination such as ''Petunia Dell," Lilly Mead" Blossom dale" "Clovernook."
 Such names as "The Oaks" "The Will lows" "Cedarcrest," and "The Chest nuts" got a black eye from the fact that the kind of trees after which the estates are named are usually the rarest in the region. That fact has served to make householders very suspicious of any house
 named in such a way and the genus has consequently gone out of fashion.
 '.The Gables" White Towers and ''The Chimneys' are other names based on architectural features. The geological incidents of a place also funish good names, such as "Stoneclff,' "Ridgetop," and "Rockledge." These peculiarities ex- ist and are not likely to disappear. A woman who called her country place Fern Meadows" because half an acre of the ground was sparsely covered with sharp and rather rusty looking ferns, was never able so long as she tried to make the ferns grow after she had been in the place year. But her die had been made, her stationary printed and there was nothing to do but cling to the name. Nothing is more the style just now than the use of the old English nominations along with something to suggest the fam fly, even if the name itself Is not used. Croft" ''dene,'' mead 'holme' ..cote.r hurst" "leigh''-these are some of the nominations combined with fam ilv names. .Croft' means a small field near a house very small farm. Mead comes from the old Anglo-saxon word mead" which has its modern equivalent in meadow. 'Holme' means
 either the, low fiat land by river or an island and is Anglo-Saxon. Leigh" is the same as lea, which means an un- titled 6eld.
 ssHurst" means grove and ''dene" a | dell or even dune. which happens to b<

 The statue of poor old Vulcan lies dis membered at the foot of Red mountain. Like the gods of old 1t has lost prestige. A newspaper man said last week that Bessemer wished to acquire the pieces and put them together. to be erected on top of Red mountain. Birmingham utters a hoarse hoot; and Bessemer declares that it never entertained such fanciful idea. And Vulcan lies prone in spots, and no one does him reverence.

In the first place, more brains are required to play good poker than are needed to play winning game of "craps."
