It is now given out that khaki uni forms for the army will be abandoned except for troops serving in the tropics and the oliva-drab service uniform, lined for winter and unlined for sum mer will be substituted for all the troons serving on the home stations.
 The Quartermaster General Gen. C. F. Humphrey, has made recommenda- tion to this effect to Secretary of war Taft, and il will be adopted The req son for this. it is stated. is that the gray cotton goods industry In this country $ now controlled by one com pany. whose selling agents hold ana control tha secret of cotton dying. The contractors are far behind on two or their contracts for khaki cloth and the tailors who have contracts for man ufdcturine khaki uniforms cannot ob- tain the cloth; this has caused much inconvenience to the army but the olive drab will he much prettier and much more desirable.
 The National Guard gets only what is furnished the army and as a conse- quence will get no more khaki.

THE SUN apologies for its assumption that the

PARADOX-A statement seemingly absurd or
contradictory.
Although THE SUMS prediction last week that
there would be stormy at the meeting of the
stockholders of the Naval Stores Export Company,
held Tuesday of this week, FAILED OF VERTICAL
TON and caused the first and only break in THE
SUMS series of facts printed during the past five
months about the naval stores situation the fact that
the meeting was harmonious proved beyond a doubt
that THE SUMS position was ABSOLUTELY COR
RECT.
Because this story really had to start with a
paradox, it was well to anticipate things little by
presenting Websters opinion of what paradox
really is

tested itself when Louis XVI. graciously agreed to

Men whose long experience had made them wise
in naval stores matters warned the "bunch" to look
out for trouble in the fight for mastery with

As to prices in the future no one has the temeriy
to venture opinion. The reputation Of the Shot
ter contract leaves him free to pay any price he
pleases. but Shotter, as a large producer, will want
to keep prices up and the Jacksonville factors will
certainly work 10 this end.

TWO YOUNG MEN
 KILL EACH OTHER
Shooting at Piseah Was Result of Continued Bad Feeling Between
 We'll Known Young Men.

Scottsboro. July r. CSpeclal) The shooting which occurred at the old sol- ders' picnic at Psgah on July 4, has ended fatally for both the combatants, Lewis and Bain. There had been bad blood between the two young men for some time, and friends had been trying to settle it and have them become friends as they had been before. Both young men attended the picnic and the day was about spent before they met When they did meet in the middle of the road they exchanged a few words in low voice and begun shooting, and stood in their tracks without moving and empted every chamber of their revolvers.
 Lewis was shot in the forehead three times. Any one of the shots would have proven fatal, Bain was shot in the neck and face.
 Both young men belonged to prominent and well to do families on Sand noun tain, and the tragedy Is very greatly de- plored by all.

 Alternate Senator.
 The race for the position of alternate senator Is beginning to attract new and more intense interest as the days go by, and the conviction Is growing that Joseph r. Johnston Is to be one of the two chosen This Is based on the reputed per sonal following of the ex-governor, which is large enough, it Is contended, to land him safely with so many good men In the race. The entrance of Congressman John H. Bankhead has confused the specuators to some extent but most of them still be- lieve that Johnston will win out There is much attention given to the Bankhead race, and he will have goodly crowd here to hear him speak next Tuesday night. I ne hope has also been expressed that Richard II. Clarke, who Is to speak with him at Birmingham, will be heard here also.
 1t seems from the talk, that John B. Knox has a good showing to win. pos siby better than any of the others. He is talked of as a winner. However, every man in the race has somewhat of fol- lowing, and 1t Is hard to tell who will have the lead at the end. About the only thing certain in the senatorial race Is the qualification of the people as 6 whole over the fact that Senators Nor gan and Pettus will not have to get out and make hard fight for their places. It seems fitting that they should have their places handed back to them on a silver waiter, so to speak. and may sit under the shade of the trees in the good old summer time and watch the fellows sweat who are trying for indorsement to succeed them.
