coMER AND CUNNINGHAM.

Mir. Conner fills seven columns of The Opelika News with scoring Of Dr. Cunningham, because the doctor failed to accept challenges to joint debates offered by MT. Conner, to take place at Athens, Gadsden. Ashville, Sheffield and Tuscumbia. Failing to get replies to these challenges, Mir. Conner asks the doctor a number of questions. by medium of the News. the intent of which is to put the doctor on the de- fensive. This publication would con- vict pr. Cunningham of failure to con tinue to live up to his declaration of intention to make an aggressive cam paign and to meet MT. Conner on the stump but for the fact that the doctor is going to meet Mr. Conner in Selma July 14. It Is probable that when Mir Corners challenges were received. the doctor had made engagements to speak In places other than those named by
 Mir. Conner. or under conditions that precluded his taking part in a joint debate at those places. The doctor has been a very busy man of late. He has visited twenty-nine counties and made forty-four speeches. The Bir- mingham Ledger says that he Is to make two speeches in Mobile county Thursday. June T.
 The above is from The Mobile Reg ister At three of the places above men, tioned Gadsden. Tuscumbia and Ash vile Cunningham met Conner in joint discussion. He also met him at Ope- lika and will meet him at other points.

In a special to The Advertiser of yesterday from Athens. 1t was stated that in the Limestone Democratic pri- mary J. L. Nelson had been nominated for County weigher. This will be un- derstood by very few people outside of Limestone. Many years ago an act of the Legislature authorized the people of that county to elect public weigh CT. This was due to the differences that arose over the weighing of cotton and the elected weigher has to weigh the cotton sold in Athens and his fig- ures have to be accepted by all par ties at interest. The position is an important and lucrative one and is eagerly sought by good men who have the confidence of the people.

Arrangement for schools.

AS a patron of the public school" said a Montgomery citizen, T fear the plan for redistricting the pupils tempo rarily will result In endless confusion.
 T understand 1t Is proposed to relieve by sending children to the suburban schools temporarily. This will make the work of teachers and pupils sinef- fective.
 Tt seems to me 1t would be better if the city would rent a large build- ing and transfer classes and grades with their teachers instead of sending children to new teachers and new as- sociations
 If more desirable place could not be secured I should think that the Au- ditoriUm would answer the purpose, all though a large residence might be rented" /"

Senator Morgan indulged In some very plain talk last Tuesday when he said that there had been an abuse of power by the President in the Panama zone and that no member of Congress, would dare introduce a bill for a law to carry out what the President had done. Since then the President has been shown up in another lawless attempt to have his way about public build ing. The act of Congress which pro- vided for a building for the Agricul- tural Department was utterly disre- garded and Secretary Wilson in his testimony said he had the advice of the President on what he had done. Instead of one building as contemplat- ed, two wings of a building not yet started have been erected and the ap- propriation of $1.50O,OOe Is exhausted

The illustrated edition of The Troy Messenger reflects the highest credit upon its young and capable eiitor. Sid- ney H. Elan, and all associated with him in the work. It shows Troy to be a live. up-to- -date city, with business men who are the equals in judgment and push of any of their competitors. It's illustrations are of a high order of merit and the buildings show that those who erected them had an eye to the ornamental as well as the com pact and useful. Every citizen of Troy ought to mail scores of copies of that paper to friends in other parts of the country. Its influence will be of immense benefit to Troy.

A Bachelors Vail.

It Is all right to preach that a man should love his neighbor as himself: it sounds so good and platonic. But 1t is not always possible. Take for in- stance the man who has planted fine garden and his neighbor has chickens run at large. How can the man with the garden love that neighbor as him self? It simply can't be done, so long as those chickens are not shut up.

Knockout for Shaw.

The Republicans of the tenth Iowa district, at tho congressional conven- tion, endorsed Governor Cummins and his position on railroad rate Legislation and tariff reform. This district being the home of Secretary Shaw 1t virtual ly knocks out that gentleman from con- trolling the State and probably will re- suit in retiring him as a candidate for president. Standpatters in other States should take notice and prepare for the coming tariff reform cyclone.

It Was Not st. Paul, But the
 Compliment Was Deserved.

Marion Standard.
 A misplaced line in the excellent re- port of the commencement in The Montgomery Advertiser makes the Apostle Paul pay a nice compliment to President Robert c. Patrick of the Jud- son Institute in this wise: Paul in the beginning paid tribute to the great work which had been done by Dr. Pat rick" There Is affinity between the apostles teaching and Dr. Patrick 5 work. but there are certain historical evidences which might be adduced showing that this compliment was not spoken by Paul as to Dr. Patrick.

It is safe to say that there is not man who heard the masterful address of Dr. R. M. Cunningham last night who was not impressed with the states manship, the ability. the soundness and the sincerity of the man who is seek ing the gubernatorial nomination at the hands of the Democratic voters of Alabama.

can he escape the suspicion in the minds of many people that he was not only insincere in his first position. but that he is equally as insincere in his present one. and that he is willing to subordinate everything to succeed in his ambition to become governor.

The Geneva Reaper announces that Mir, M NJ. Brannen will conduct its edlto- rial department Under the direction of Mir Ed Johnson. The Reaper has at all times been a wide awake paper and its editorials have attracted wide at tention. Mir Johnson will devote him. self entirely to the business interests of the paper. He has made a wise se- lection in MT. Brannen, who is a strong vigorous writer and already possessed of interstate reputation. We hope for The Reaper increased business and suc- cess and welcome MT. Brannen to the active work to which by nature and training he is thoroughly adapted.

The number of pensioners on The United States pension rolls on the first of May, was 669.673. This was of sur vivors and does not include widows and others who arc regularly drawing pen-. sions. From beginning to close of war the number Of Confederate Soldiers did not exceed 65O,OOo. so that more than forty years after the close of hosul!- ties there are more United States pen siOners for the war s1-e5 than were in the Confederate army during the exIs- tenee of the Confederacy.

The sale of American dime novels in

The sale of American dime novels In Prussia has been forbidden by the government. The theory Is that the who read this sort of liter ature are stimulated to engage in criminal adventures. Still The Hartford Times thinks its probable that the influence of the better class of dime novels is less bad than that of the poorer sort of namby -pamby stories.

 In his joint debate with MT. Conner at Ashvil1e Dr. Cunningham asked this question
 Why don't ETr. Conner remain Pres ident of the Railroad Commission and let the people elect two men in har- mony with him?"
 We are surprised at Dr. Cunning ham. He should read The Reaper and keep posted. for we have more than once come to MT.

 The public speaking drew good au- dtence. Dr. Cunningham spoke first. and to state this his speech was tn- structive sound. free from insinuations, innuendoes. misrepresentations. and above all chaste, forceful, and some times eloquent, Is to utter the truth, and nothing but the truth.
 His remarks were at first confined to the educational line of idea, show ing the character of our government, it's range and possibilities In each de- partment. with the limitations upon the latter within the sphere of official ac- tion; and declaring his own policy, Tn his administration, if he should be hon ored by the people as their choice for Governor on this point he made him self perfectly clear. Those presenS could tell just where the doctor stood and what to expect of him, If made Governor of the State.
 He outlined his own record; and held if up for the inspection of his fellow citizens present.
 The audience was deeply impressed by the speakers open, candid and clear statements of where he had stood, and where he would stand on all questions af State policy likely to arise as the peoples chief executive. and his chaste and manly bearing. in conducting his canvass.

Backward Cotton Crop.

Cotton experts" said a Montgom- cry County farmer, ''are giving optim- istic opinions as to crop conditions. but the men who grow the plant cannot take such hopeful views as those who earn their living by writing opinions.
 Here it is the last day of May and we are hoeing cotton. That doesn't look much like a normal condition with that the crop is ten days backward. I think 1t would be nearer the truth to say that 1t is three weeks behind.
