who heard Mr. WATSON expressed them
selves as being delighted with their new
pastor. Last night at the Methodist
church, according TO custom among the
churches here, welcoming service was
had The Rev. l.. o. Dawson of the
Baptist church, in a representative ca
pacity, welcomed the new minister, and
assured him the heartiest support and
friendship from his Baptist neighbors
The Rev. r. b. McAlpine, on behalf of
the Presbyterian church, made a short
talk in which he also extended the warm
est greetings to Mr.. WATSON, and gave
him the right hand of fellowship in his
new work. Mr.. Daniel Collie, the super
intendent of the Methodist Sunday school,
on the part of the Methodist church, well
coined the incoming pastor. There was
also arranged for the occasion beauti-
full and impressive programme of music
by the church choir Mr. WATSON re-
sponded to this very cordial welcome in
a very graceful and happy manner
thanking each of the denominations for
the curteous and hospitable manner in
which he was received.
Tuscaloosa people are much interested
in the announcement that emanates from
Selma that Editor James II. Nunnelee
will retire from the editorial tripod on
the LIST of January. For number Of
years Mr. Nunnelee conducted the Tus-
caloosa Gazette, and, indeed, started a
Tuscaloosa daily. Mr. Nunnelee was in
many warm political battles during his
residence here, through his paper, and
always the Gazette and it's editor were
lively and influential factors.
The article that appeared in last Sun
days edition of the Age-Herald upon
the history of the university, financially,
by the talented young writer, Hugh w.
Roberts was read with great interest
here. In Tuscaloosa most of these facts
are known, and some indignation is felt
when ignorant politicians are heard to
talk of the liberality of the state in the
matter of appropriations for the univer-
sity. Just exactly what the state has
done in the matter of squandering the
funds of this dear old institution and the
magnitude of the debt due it now. how
ever, are not matters of general knowl-
edge the article referred to was timely
and accurate, and should have a whole
some effect when the legislators meet
next month and the matter of sub
stantial appropriation for some great
needs of the university will be brought to
their consideration. II is learned from
unofficial sources that the thorough can
vass that has been on foot by the alumni
in the matter of obtaining some building
appropriations from the next legislature,
has developed some very encouraging
sentiment, and the friends of the univer-
sity are hopeful of some real help.
The sad news has just been received
that Mrs. F. L. Walter died al her home
| here this morning just before 10 o'clock.

Candidates Are Expected
Shortly.

Bessemer, December 17.-(Special.) >
Lester Kennedy today finally authorized
the announcement of his candidacy for
the office of city clerk before the demo-
cratic primary. This is the first formal
announcement that has yet been made,
although there are bees buzZing in the
bonnets of several others. The contest
for city clerk, although it should be made
legally before the board of aldermen,
has always come before the people, and
it has often been sought more earnestly
than any other office within the gift of
the city A hot race is expected among
three or four candidates. The salary is
a good one and the responsibility of the
position makes 1t desirable to those who
wish to come before the people.
Mr.. Kennedy is said to have a good
following of enthusiastic supporters and
to be quite popular with the young and
old alike. He has been connected with
the Kennedy Furniture company for ten
years, and during that time has made
many close friends. He is counting on
opposition, but is confident of victory.
