Clear Cut Cunningham
 Victory.
Daily Papers Had Representatives on Field and NeutraIs Say That the Victory Was to Ensley
 Doctor.
By VIII T. sheehnn.

phe Selma joint discussion between Hon B. B. Conner and Dr. R. M Gun ningham was a grievous disappoint- ment to the Conner men. It was the bitterest thing that has come to them in the campaign.
 In the very moment of their ela- ton. at the moment they were in the high grounds of over confidence, in a community believed to be their own they were suddenly and sharply brought to realize that the revulsion in political sentir1ent, of which they had heard only to doubt, was even more pronounced than 1t has been de- scribed.
 If a Cunningham man had said that a crowd made up of Dallas county vo- ters and voters from other counties which gave Mir. Conner his majorities, would cheer itself hoarse for Cunning ham and plainly show its dlsapproval of MT. Corners style of stump speak ing he would have been laughed at and ridiculed to the limit
 But this and more happened. They who came to exult remained to grieve. The temper of the Black Belt crowd was not to be mistaken. It was en- thusiastic for Cunningham and it threw aside all bounds to give vent to that enthusiasm. The confidence of the Co., mer men sank to a bitter disappoint- ment.
 Is this true? The newspaper accounts of those papers which had special rep resentatives there leave no room for doubting 1t The description of the Conner Waterloo published in other pa pers describe it more vividly than the account published in The Advertiser. which was purposely made conserva- tive. The best that the Conner men claim is that while the crowd made more fuss for Cunningham it was equally divided between Conner and Cunningham. and in this way they are not able to conceal their disap- pointment.
 Claim Meeting Was Packed.
 Out of the bitterness of their disap- pointment the Conner men first claimed that the meeting was packed, but to their credit be it said that only a few of the Conner men make this charge. From Selma comes the statement from a Conner supporter that the man who started the first outburst of enthusiasm for Cunningham was an engineer on the Southern Railroad, 1t being in- tended in this charge to convey the inn precision that the Cunningham enthusi- asn emanated from the railroad men.
 The incident occurred during Mir. Co., mer's opening address. He had been speaking perhaps half an hour when, during one or ms perlodS some man form the audience called out 'Hurrah for Cunningham" At this the pent up enthusiasm of the crowd burst forth and for more than two minutes Mir. Conner stood in embarrassed si- lence, while the crowd yelled for his opponent. That call was not made by a railroad man. It was made by L.. J. Bugg, formerly of Montgomery but now an attorney of Monroeville. Mir :. Sav en and hts MnnTna- county friends who accompanied him to .4he, debate and who sat with him confirm him in this statement.
 Nor was he leading any organized band of checkers. He and his friends had reached Selma from Monroeville as late as o'clock that night and had no chance to organize any corps of

LOTHIAN WITHOUT LIGHTS.
Preparations for Installing New Plant
 Leave Town Dark.

Leave Town Dark.
 Dothan, June 1s.--(SpeciaD--D is now without electric lights. At the electric lighting plant they arc prepar- ing to install the new system which was purchased at an enormous ex- pense and which, it is understood, will so much change the existing condition of affairs that Dothan will never again have the annoyance with her electric lights that she has experienced in the past.
 The town is in darkness. both as to incandescent and arc lights. and the sale of kerosine oil and tallow candles has grown to a wonderful extent. IL is estimated by Superintendent of Elec- tric Lights Culver, that 1t will be something like sixty days before the new system will be in place and ready for operation.
 Mayor Young has returned from the convention of druggists held at Blount Springs, and reports an enjoyable trip. While away the mayor employed c. F. Cole, an expert accountant to audit the books of the city officials. MT. Cole is expected to arrive here within a week or ten days and begin his work.
 Yesterday marked high tide in at- tendance upon the revival services which have been in progress for some time and are still going on at then Eos ter Strfeet Methodist Church. Dr. Wal ker Lewis. of Atlanta, who is doing the preaching delivered an unusually in teresting sermon. and was listened to with close attention by those present. Dr. Lewis has made an enviable rep utation for himself among Dothan church goers as minister of the gos- pei, and continues to draw large crowds to the daily services by the manner in which he is expounding the scrip lures. Already the meeting has prov ed productive of much good, and there have been several aceessions to the church membership.
 The finishing touches to the improve ments on the court house grounds have been made, in the shape of two ce- ment block walks from Main and Oates Streets to the southern and western entrances to the building This with the stone wall recently erected around the lot, and the leveling of the grounds, has made a wonderful change in the appearance of the premises
 The Del1wood Sunday School, near Dothan, has perfected its organization. and begins work with a membership of about fifty and much genuine en- thusiasm. The school is the result of efforts on the part of the congrega- tion of the Foster Street Methodist Church. It meets on Sunday afternoon at o'clock.
 At the Baptist Church yesterday, the pastor. Rev. w ". Anderson. was heard with interest by two large con- gregations, morning and evening. his respective subjects being The Church at Pagamous," and The Foolish Son" At both the morning and evening ser vices there were accessions to the church roll of members.

 In this article MT Craighead like all impartial observers takes the position that the Cunningham men were re- ,sentful of the systematic interruptions to which Dr. Cunningham was subject ed to and that out of this resentment came the outburst of counter applause which prevented Mir Conner from mak- ing his rejoinder. In his final sum- ming up Mir. Craighead says:
 Taking the meeting as a whole It was as was predicted. The audfence did not come to be instructed, but in expectation of witnessing an intellec- tual sparrinC match Whenever MT :. Conner sprang upon Dr. Cunningham, as if to eat him alive, the crowd was delighted: and when the doctor, In turn, cut into the Railroad Commits sioner's defenses with a keen sarcasm. there was a thunder of applause; but with mere argument there was H. disguised patience. When each orators s best efforts had been given respectful attention for a while. the natural de- sire of the crowd for more excitement led to interruptions; and the finale was a scene that has rarely been equalled, both for amount and persistence of the noise and confusion.
 What were the results we thlhh Dr. Cunningham emerged with en- hanced reputation. Of the two men he conducted himself with most dignity and showed greatest breadth and pro- fundity of ideas, and he was active and aggressive fin addressing his opponent, while never departing from a course dictated by good taste MT. Conner s excitement, his frenzled action, his at titude toward his opponent, and his failure to conceive of any issue in this campaign but. the one with which his candidacy is identified, did not produce a good impression upon the unpreJu- diced investigator. seeking for light on the questions of the day. It Is our de- liberate opinion that MT Corper's most trusted supporters were mulch disap- pointed by his manner of acquitting himself in this critical moment of his public career, and that he gave them ample reason for being SO.

The Best of Vegetables.

In Isabel Gordon Curtis helpful
paper entitled "The Progress of a
Housewife" in the July Delineator,
she gives some useful hints as TO
how to make the best of vegetables.
Root vegetables, such as beets.
turnips, carrots or parsnips, should
have moist, dirty roots and fresh
tops. If the roots are very clean
and the tops cut away, you may be
sure the market man has tried to
freshen them. The smaller these veg
etables are, the more tender. Par
ships and carrots require scraping,
except when they ARE young and ten
der. Turnips should be pared, while
the skin of beets should not be
broken or the tops cut more than
two inches above the beet, other
wise they will lose color and sweet
ness.
When buying Lima beans, choose
green, juicy pods with small, finely
veined beans. Cook for one hour
and half in just enough boiling
water to cover. Add salt when near
ly done, drain off part of the water.
season with pepper, salt and butter
and send to the table piping hot.
String beans are cooked in the same
way after being strung and snapped.

Mr.. Miller served as Judge OF

He was 46 years old.
Colonel Samuel Donaldson, who
was doorkeeper of the national
house OF Representatives during Mr..
Carlisle's term as speaker, died sud-
denly of heart failure at his home in
Washington. Colonel Donaldson
was well known among politicians
throughout the country and at the
lime OF his death was assistant SER
geant at arms of the democratic ma

Nashville, fifty-eighr years ago, but
had resided in Washington for
twenty-five years. During the civil
war he served on the staff of the

cANTEEN TO BE DISCUSSED.
Act of Congress Does Not Please All
Veterans.

Minneapolis, July 2S.-According
to dispatches from Washington an
attempt will be made at the Mime
apolis Grand Army encampment to
secure the passage of a measure pro-
testing against the recent act of con-
gress abolishing canteens in sol
diers' homes. James Tanner, CON-
mander-in-chief of the G. A. R., is
said to be back of The movement
and should the issue be forced, local
Grand Army men predict one of the
most interesting sessions in the his
tory of the Grand Army organization
Sales of liquor of all descriptions
are to be prohibited at soldiers
homes, and unless congress repeats
the law it will be enforced beginning
March 4. Commander-in-Chief Tan
ner is said to have denounced the
law as an insult to the ;old soldiers
and to have stated that the measure
would tend to increase rather than
restrict intemperance at the homes.
Minneapolis veterans are inclined
to doubt whether the canteen ques-
ton will be made an issue at the
Minneapolis encampment 1t is
argued that it would be improper for
the Grand Army to take official ac-
ton on the matter and Minneapolis
veterans feel that the anti-canteen
law, so far as it applies to soldiers
homes, is commendable measure

THE MODISH VEIL.

With the latest hats from almost
every kind of veil imaginable, but the
chiffon veil holds it's own regally. No
detail of the toilet occupies more i'm
pOrtant place, yet there is no accessory
so overlooked by the average woman.
A number of very pretty brown and
red lace wells are shown at present
and for women whose compilations
will not rebel against the latter there
is nothing better. Even the high tenn
perature naturally suggested by red
in summer time fails to detract from
the beauty of the red veil, which is
worn loosely, but never thrown back
over the hat. The fashion of wearing
two wells continues and probably al
ways will as long as womankind is
solicitous of her skin and complexion.
Fewer black wells are worn beneath
the colored ones, however, the white
mesh dotted or striped with black
taking its place. Very fine brussels
nets finished with a dainty tracery of
vines or Powered garlands are hand
some for dressy wells, very smart
women having them dyed to match
the color of the gown. White wells
sprinkled with dots of assorted sizes
are very chic, and to show how con.
siderate fashions arbiters are for the
health and vision of their followers
some of the latest wells are left plain
about the eyes, so that the sight is I'M
disturbed.
