SOME REASONS WHY THE DEMO- CRAFTS OF JEFFERSON COUNTY SHOULD ELECT HIM TO THE OFFICE.

To the Democrats of Jefferson County: Jefferson county is allowed seven repre- sentatives In the lower house of the legislature and one member of the senate. Thus, while these seven representatives may be selected from different parts of the county or apportioned among the several clements of It's population, the senator stands for the whole county and belongs to all the people.
 If there ever was a time when the dem ocrats of Jefferson county should unite in the selection of senator who mas a broad sympathy with all classes of cit izens and who Is sound on these issues which concern the welfare of the greater number of the people, 1t is now. The de- velopment of the resources of the county on larger scale than ever and the even distribution of the benefits of that devel- opment depend much upon the laws which will be enacted at tho forthcoming ses- sion of the legislature.
 In Mir. Nathan L. Miller, a servant of the public from his boyhood and life long democrat, you have candidate who Is worthy in every way of your suf- frages.
 Senator of All the People.
 
 note that in making announcement of his candidacy, MT. Miller showed a proper sense of the great responsibilities which would rest upon him in the event of elec- ton by declaring he would give his time and attention to the duties of the office, and would endeavor faithfully and hon. estly to represent the best interests of all the people of Jefferson county and state of Alabama"
 A Grand Keynote.
 And subsequently, he clearly defined his position as to the issues, which are agi- tating the people of the state as well as these issues which are limited to Jeffer- son county and tho city of Birmingham, but are proportionately as important. The grand keynote of all these declarations by Mir Miller is sounded in this paragrap ph of card to the democratic voters of the county:
 "l am now, and always have been, unquaIfiedly In favor of government by the people and opposed to govern ment by the corporations"
 Consequently, you are prepared to be- lieve him when he says: Original Advocate of Rate Reform.
 "I am In favor of the regulation by law, of railroad corporations, and all other corporations; and, as part of such regulation of railroad corpora tions, l am In favor of genuine and effective provision against excessive and unreasonable rates, and against the practice of discrimination of every kind. l include within such reguIa- tions car service"
 (Mr. Miller was one of the original ad- vocates in this state of an elective rail- way commission, clothed with adequate powers)
 And again, when he declares:
 Opposed to Trusts.
 q" am opposed to all combinations, associations and agreements which tend to stifle competition"
 Favors Municipal Ownership. And again, when he replies to certain inquiries of the Birmingham Board of Trade.
 "l will favor any reasonable or fair

of the supreme court. Mir. Millers indi- vidual practice was general. He did not make speciality of damage suits, nor did he seek patronage exclusively from corporations. This is true of the firm.
 The Highest Reason.
 Convincing as all these facts are, there Is still a higher reason why the candi- dacy of MT Miller should appeal to the democrats of Jefferson county. The eyes of the people of the United States are now turned to the democratic party with the hope and expectation that 1t will correct the abuses which have sprung up in a long period of republican rule. The principles of the democratic party, mis- understood, mallgned and even ridiculed for years, are duly recognized and ap- preciated at last. In Alabama, as in other states, the command Is, Put none out Scots on Guard" trust no office to any but real and loyal democrats.
 A Democrat True and Tried.
 MT. Miller is such a democrat. An out spoken, aggressive supporter of MT. Bry- an from the beginning he was secretary of the state campaign committee in 1896, and in addition to doing a great deal of work without compensation, gave freely of his private means to the meagre cam paign fund; and no consideration of per sonal friendship or personal interest caused him to fater in his allegiance to the platform of his party in those try ing days.
 Having given so freely of time, money and talents to his party Mir Mill Ter for the first time solicits recognition, and in doing so is constrained by the law oI service which he has obeyed all his life, and not by money consideration for the office as everyone knows, is lean pay.
 An All-Sufficient Answer.
 As you see him, Mir. Miller will go to the senate with a practical knowledge of the wants and requirements of all his constituents, and with a personality which will command the respect and consideration of his colleagues.
 Fellow democrats, the welfare of the party, the state. the county and the city demands the election of MT. Miller. Do your duty and send him to the senate.

has been designated as a United States depository by the Secretary of the Treas= ury, Leslie M. Shaw. The First National is ono of the strongest banking institu- tons in the state and this action on the part of the government Is considered quite
 a compliment, lnasmuoh as very few banks outside of the larger cities are ae- corded such honors, This Is the only national bank in tho Seventh congress sional district at present.
 Want Morning Accommodation Train.
 The merchants of this city have inaugu- rated movement to try to secure
 morning accommodation train over the Rome and Decatur division of the South ern railway from Rome, Ga. to this city. If such a train is put on 1t would bring an immense amount of business to this city which is now going elsewhere and legitimately belongs to this city. There is a mixed passenger and freight train. arriving over this road from Rome late in the morning, but it Is seldom on time, and there is little dependence to be put in 1t.
 AttaIIa Bank to Pay Dividend.
 It has been stated on reliable authority that the receivers of the defunct First National bank of Attalla will pay dividend to the depositors of that insti- tuition, which failed several months ago. The stockholders have been assessed for the amount of their stock, and most Of them have responded promptly. The fall ure of the bank has worked quite hard ship on a number of people, some of whom had all their savings of many years in the bank.

with the pure freshness of matutinal

solely Of their azure eyes, limpid as
