SOME GOSSIP HEARD
 AT THE STATE CAPITOL
BY HERvE Y w. LAIRD.

na ONTGOMERY April 1.-(Special) M Some friends of Hon. Tyler Good 1 wyn, nominee to the legislature and candidate for speaker of the next house. seem to read into my speakership story of yesterday an intimation that MT. Goodwin might, under certain conditions, not remain in the race to the end. No such impression was intended, and to be frank it is hard to see how it could have been so received. At any rate there is not the least foundation for it. Mir. Goodwin is going to stay in the game until the last chip is cashed, and there are many who confidently believe he will be. making committee assignments when the next general assembly is organized.
 There is also good reason to believe that w. l.. Martin, will remain in receptive mood,' so far as the speakershlp is con- cerned, though it looks as if his actual candidacy would mean the election of d man outside of Montgomery county Two men from the same constituency would, no doubt, spell the defeat of both. How ever, it is understood that friends of both VIII unueTldhe lO ktep MI ONs of the contest and to secure his aid for the home man. MT. Goodwin fostered the ''capitol improvement bill' in the last legislature and secured the appropriation now being spent for its extension. It is quite likely that he will urge more of the same sort of appropriation from the next assembly.
 Something seems to be doing in the sec retary of state race. Harry R. Shorter deputy insurance commissioner, left here Saturday in a quiet sort of way for North Alabama, accompanied by Bar bour county friend, and told no one of his mission or his purpose. It is hinted that he had something ''up his sleeve. :" either in his own behalf or that of Capt A. C. Sexton, well-known as an aspir ant for the office. It has been an open secret for some time that Colonel Shorter has ambitions" to succeed MT. McDavid, in the rather improbable event that Mir Sexton finally decides not to make the race.
 His many friends were glad last week to welcome back to the capital and his modest little corner in the treasurers $

sCoURS IN SHEEP.

The American Shepherds Bulletin
says the growth of rams is often de-
layed by securing, caused by eating
grass that has not been closely fed
or that has grown rank during the
wet. season. When these conditions
exist, the sheep should be kept in
shed or shady enclosure and given
feed OF oats and bran. This will
usually remedy the trouble, but it is
sometimes necessary to put the sheep
on hay, with a feed of grain once a
day, to keep them in good condition.
There is very little danger from this
source in dry weather.
