NInnslon For Governor.

| Mansion For Governor A prominent man from East Ala bama, who spent last night in Mont l Romery, declared himself in favor of l the building of an Executive Mansion by the State, and said the appropria- stion ought to be made by the next Leg Tt Ia amazing" he said, that we lshave not built home for the Gov | ernor before this time. Other States i of less wealth and resources than Ala l bamas make adequate. provision for | their Governors, and we must do 1t, | too.
 | The State of Georgia owns one of the 1 finest mansions on Peachtree street. in l Atlanta. Here the Governor lives in | style at the expense of the State. He IS provided with servants and car- | r.ages by the State, and in conse- quence. he is able to do the honors for the State when it becomes necessary. We pay the Governor Of Alabama | meagre salary, when his manifold du- ties are considered. If he is a poor nan of large family, he must come to | Montgomery and live in a. boarding | house. More than one poor man who ] has served the State as Governor, has 1 dope so by self-sacriice. and has gone out of the office poorer than when he went in
 With a full treasury, and good in- dications for better returns In the fu- ture, 1t seems to me that now is the ! this very important project. We | should have a commission to buy a large lot and build a handsome resi- dence there where the Governor and his farRily might live in a manner be- htting his high official position" The Proposed College.
 General Manager R. J. Chambers of the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company, returned yesterday xuh hn hna hnr at tending the Alabama Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is of the opinion that the Eufaula Confer ence was one of the most important ever held by the Alabama Conference one that made history for Alabama Methodism.
 He was especially pleased with the action of the Conference which means to practical certainty the establish ment in Montgomery of a joint ollege for young ladies for both the Alabama and the North Alabama Conferences. There was no room to doubt the tenn Fer of the Conference. It was strong ly in favor of the location in Montrorr- cry Of this college, and for the accept ance of the generous offer of cooper ation made by the North Alabama Con- sference.
 ''Ths establishment of this college means a great deal to Montgomery-a great deal more, perhaps, than we ap- preciate," said Mir. Chambers 'I have been very much gratified at the great friendly interest manifested in. the pro- posed college by all denominations. Montg ,mery, in my opinion, has long been the most desirable site for a col- lege In Alabama. I am glad for the sake of tho church that the college is to fo Hatsd in Montgomery, and I am sIa1 for the sake of Montgomery that the city is to get the@college."
