Ifr Frenrx unbecoming.

In It's unbecoming frenzy over the action of the State Executive Commit tee, the highest party authority in Ala bama, The Birmingham News, places it. self in as bad light as it did recently in printing an alleged correct report of Corners speech at Tuscaoosa four weeks after his speech had been print ed verbatim by The Advertiser. which paper The News criticised for it's alleg- ed unfairness. On this point it can be said that The Advertiser. although viz orously opposed to Mir. Conner. baffles that gentleman and its critics by giv- ing more space to his speeches than do ali of his newspaper supporters cons bined.

A Small sound Will Do.

You can paste this prediction in your hat band for future reference: Ex-Gov- ernor Johnston will be a candidate for Governor or alternate Senator, moro likely tho latter. Yesterdays Age- Herald contained a two column inter- view with a Birmingham banker, a friend of the Governor. in which he dwells at length on the virtues of your Uncle Joseph, rnollifies his mistakes, and concludes with the omnibus warn ing that he will not run unless the peo- pie demand his services. Enough said. Perhaps it will not be very audible, but the ex- Governor has his ear to the ground, and the ex-Governor's hear ing is acuta.s .s4--s .a

A Right View of It.
Birmingham Ledger.

It is not wisdom to base too much on the cold figures of the census reports. 1t is not true that Alabama is one of the most illiterate States in the Union. The people of Alabama are as book learned as those of Massachusetts. Our negroes are not. That is true state ment and we ought not to allow the census statements to ge unexplained.

Governor Terrell of Georgia had an interesting talk over the long distance telephone yesterday morning shortly before noon with Governor Jellks. Gov ernor Terrell, in his office in the state Capitol of Georgia, put Tn a cali over the long distance lines vf the Soutnefh Bell Telephone and Telegraph Com pany. for Governor Jelks, in the State Capitol here.
 fine call was executed with remark able rapidity. and within thirty ,s sec ;r .. the greetings of Georgia to the Chief Executive of Alabama. The conversation was of a personal nature and both Executives made m quiries about personal friends. They commented upon the marvellous man ner in which they were annihilating time and distance by their conversation and upon the satisfactory manner in which they were able to converse from Atlanta to Montgomery. Both Governors were. greatly inter ested in the talk, particularly In the convenience with which the feat was accomplished, neither having been forced to leave his desk. Mir.

 Mir, Smith is naturally much inter- ested in the work of bringing desirable citizens to Alabama from the East ana tho West as well as from foreign coun- tries. He said that his Association had met with considerable success and that during the past twelve mon ths more than 1000 good white men hao been located in Alabama.
