Senator Allison" says the Charles City

'There used to be a time when spe-

congress was quite an event" recalls
the Sioux City Journal.
The Alta Advertiser, referring to the

very apparent What the people will
do to Lacey if such an event should
come to pass is not hard to predict"

Mir. Arnold Is deeply interested in certain legislation which he wishes to promote. and which will require the greater part of his atten- tion.

Martin and Captain R. Tyler Good wyn. The two opponents both have the same friends. both have similar tn- terests in the work as legislators. and both are well known attorneys of this ritv.
 Captain G0odwyn was i member of the House at the last session of the Legislature. and was the author of the Capitoi i'm rovement bill. Mr. Martin was formerly Attorney General. haviug come to Montgomery several years ago to ill that office. At the close Of hls period in that position, he remained m Montgomery, where he mas peep ehRd%- ed in the practice of the law.
 MT. Arnold expects to give his atten- ton to the fu~thering of two special fires of Legislation. One Is for the pur- pose Of exempting property of old Con- faderate soldiers from taxattcn. whiie the other has for it's object State ap- propriation to build school houses tn rural dist ricts. The bill on the Canfed- crate soldier exemption bill has already beeH drawn up. 1t includes the follow Ing provision:
 That the homestead. not exceeding in value $2.000. and h area l6O acres of every resident citizen of the State who served as soldier or sailor ir thS army or navy of the Confederate Stftes, or in tFoops of this State In the wal ee- tw cen the States. and who did not de' sert sach service. shall be and the snne is hereby exempt from all State, county and municipal taxation, and the person. al property of such soldier or sailor shall, to the amount of $5UO In value. De and the same Is likewise exempt from such taxation.
 The other sections of the bill incluoe provisions for the benefit of the widows of old soldiers. with the machinery by which 1t will be carried out. Hon. Thomas L.. Buiger of Tallapoosa County, Is the only other member Of | inc next House of Representatives who 1 ia a candidate for Speaker
