 Cunningham Tells Story.
 "One time some young students took the head of one bug. the leg of another the body of another and so on, and pasted them all together and took the specimen in to Professor Darwin to have him tell them what kind of q bug 1t was. Well, said the great scientist, it looks to me very much like a humbug. MT Comer's various positions on issues reminds me of this very animal.
 Let me tell you that If I am elected governor my appointments will be among those men who have shown themselves favorable to my administration. Honesty, good character and capabllty will be the only standards. 1 am bound to no one"
 pr. Cunningham then gave brief sketch of his life telling how he began life as a poor farmer boy and how while he had been successful as a physician he was far from being a rich man. You can find my record in the books he said, "and this record is based on facts and not Idle promises"
 As he took his seat there was a tre- mendous outburst of applause. which seemed for q moment to increase in fn- tensity as MT. Conner rose and slowly came forward to begin his remarks.
 Conner Replies.
 After all these years with the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroal compayn, said Mir Conner, If MT. Cunningham fs a poor man itais his own fault" This sally was highly pleasing to the speak CTS friends who showed their enthusi- asm by making much noise that he could not proceed for several seconds In quiet. subdued voice the speaker continued:
 q, too, began life as a farmer boy

It appeared all were using their own judgment The state militia all said that they were un- der the orders of the state militia com manders, but whether they are working In pursuance of orders, or not, they fail ed to recognize passes, thereby causing much confusion to those engaged In re- lief work

descend from the high plane on which you began your campaign when you cast your lnsinuations on me because happen to be large employer of labor Any man who rears snaokestack, sets wheels in motion, and gives employment to his fellow-men Is a benefactor.
 "The men who talk more than any one else about child labor are the men who come down here In private cars and visit Booker Washingtons school. They are the ones deing more than any one else to spread the seeds of dlssention In the south"
 As MT. Conner concluded he was given an ovation. The whole Of the great court house resounded with the shouts Of approval from his supporters. and it was several minutes before Chairman Sanford was able to present Dr. Cunningham for the conclusion.
 Makes Some Vigorous Thrusts.
 pr. Cunningham kept himself under re- markable control in the face of the on- slaughts made upon him, but he could not resist making a few thrusts and they were made in vigorous and telling man. ner His supporters cheered themselves hoarse in their enthusiasm.
 During all the years that I was run ming my sanitarium in Ensley." said the speaker, T regularly made fl percentage division Of the profits among my em- ployes Have you, Mir Conner, ever done as much for your cotton mill employees?
 ''The only time l ever did anything in favor of corporations was when I voted to exempt cotton mills In Alabama from taxation for a period of ten years, and as God is my witness, I have regretted 1t ever since.
 You claim the newspapers are support ing me I am proud Of the support of so many of Alabama's journals. but whenever you see anything about me in them, you may know that It is spontan- eous. and that It has not been paid for"
 Amid the cheers. at the conclusion. the two candidates grasped hands across the table separating them, and the audience surged forward to join in the informal re- ception.
 A feature of the debate was the numer- ous Interruptions by persons in the audi ence and the verbal signs of approval of the words of a favorite Among these was J. A. Hutchinson of Salem, who con- tributed materially to the effectiveness of Mir. Corners remarks by his continual personal jabs at Dr. Cunningham, and others in the audience took the cue readily that Chairman Sanford at times. had difficulty In preserving order.
 Dr. Cunningham left during the after noon for Lanette. where he spoke last night. and will spend the remainder of the week in east Alabama MT. Conner returned to Birmingham. and will speak today at Oneonta.

Meeting of State Society to be
Held at Springfield
Jan. 24-25.
UNUSUALLY GOOD PROGRAM
Mormons, Early Courts, Rejected Coun-
ty Names, Some of the Topics to
Be Discussed.

The annual meeting of the Illinois
State Historical society, which will oc-
cur in Springfield Wednesday and
Thursday. Jan. "a and 25, 1906, will be
of more than usual interest on account
of the character of the speakers and
the interesting subjects which will be
discussed. The society is growing rap
idly. as indeed is the interest of the
people of Illinois in the history of their
own state.
The annual address TO the society
will be delivered by Professor Fred
erick Jackson Turner, of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. Professor Turner
will speak on Sectional Influences in
Western History"
Gov. Deneen will deliver the address
of welcome to the society, and Gen.
Alfred Orendorff, president of the So
ciety, will respond on behalf of the
society, and will also introduce Profess
sor Turner and the other speakers.
Hon. George A. Dupuy, judge of the
superior court of Clinton, Will deliver
an address on the EARLY Courts and
Lawyers of Illinois," subject to which
he has given much study.
Senator Orville f. Berry will speak
on The Mormon Settlement in ILL
nos and as the senator's home is in
Hancock county, he is familiar with the
history and traditions relating to these
peculiar people during the time when
Joseph Smith. Jr., was their prophet.
and Nauvoo, Hancock county. H., the
theatre of their earthly kingdom.
After the Mormons were driven from
Nauvoo, the deserted town was occu-
pied for a time by a French communis-
tic society. called the Icarians. These
people were under the leadership of a
Frenchman, Etienne CADET. The
strange and pathetic tale of these peo-
pie will be told by Mrs. l. G. Miller, of
Springfield, who has studied the sub
ject thoroughly, having also had the
good fortune to have personal ac-
quaintance, who was actually mem
Der of the Icarian Community.
Prof. Samuel Willard will give to the
society his personal "reminiscences OF
life in Illinois from 1880 to 1850. DR..
Willard is SO years of age, but he is
still mentally bright and vigorous. He
took part in the anti-slavery struggles
in the state and was a factor in its
educational dayeI0Dmeut
