truly, H. Y MESSENGER.
Montgomery, Ala, August q, 1906.
Mr. II. Y. Wessinger, Birmingham, Ala.
My Dear Sir-I have before me your let
ter of August 49,
In reply to the same, l wish to say that
/ have taken no partisan interest in the
race for the democratic nomination for
governor Both DIR. Cunningham and Mr..
Conner are estimable gentlemen, and l be-
lieve are sincere in whatever propositions
they may advocate.
DIR. Cunningham. however, has a long
and consistent record on the question of
public education. His entire career in
the legislative halls of Alabama has
shown his deep interest in the education
of the children of Alabama, and on every
possible occasion his voice and his infiu-
ence have been used in furtherance of any
and all plans looking to the providing of
better educational facilities for the chill
dren of the state.
During my administration DR. Cunning
ham has answered every call which the
friends of education have made, and at
his own expense has gone from one end
of the state to the other in aid of educa-
tional questions before the people.
Mr. Conner, so far as l know, previous
to his announcement for governor, has no
record on this question. His utterances
since then are well known to you.
Taking everything into consideration,
and knowing as l do the interest which
Dr. Cunningham feels in all of the qeus-
tions and in all of the plans having in
view the betterment of our educational
facilities, I have long since decided that It
was my duty to cast my vote in the pri-
mary for him.
Trusting that you will appreciate my
position in this matter, and assuring you
that l am ready at all times to aid in
any way the cause of public education, L
am yours very truly,
ISAAC W. HILL,
Superintendent of Education.

Hon. l. w. Hill, Superintendent of Educa-

for asking your adcive about a question
in whcih 1 and a large number of my
friends in this community are Interested
We feel that the question of the proper
education of the children of Alabama is
the greatest of all electromagnetic than
the question of railroad rate reform or
any other now before the people.
Knowing, therefore, that you are in a
position to advise us, I desire to ask your
opinion as to the candidates for governor
which one will more nearly carry out the
plans looking to the better education of
our children-pans which you endorse and
have advocated.
Assuring you that shall appreciate

ITEMS FROM PRESCOTT
 AND YAvAPAl COUNTY
From the Prescott Journal.Miner


 Jerome's city council has made an- other attempt to suppress gambling by adopting an ordinance prohibiting gaming of all kinds and fixing the pun ishment for violation thereof at a fine of not more than S200 or not more than ninety days in the county jail District Attorney Ellinwood, in written opin- ion expressed strong doubts as to the validity of the ordinance that has been the bone of contention. The owners of the gambling games there will fight the ordinance, as 1t is a question. whether the governing body of a town can prohibit that which the territory legalizes. In the case of Prescott and cities having special charte~ the case is different. as under its organic act special authority is delegated to such municipal bodies. Jerome is a town incorporated under general act, it is argued, and it's powers are limited and can not conflict with the territorial statutes.
 The contract for the construction of the new hotel and depot at Ash Fork has been awarded to C. Leonardo, prominent contractor of Los Angeles.

The material used will be reinforced concrete, and the buildings will have frontage of little over 400 feet. The contract price is in the neighborhood of $50, 090. The buildings will be erected about 1900 feet west of the present depot.

 John w. Sheppard, a pioneer of Ari- zona and well known throughout the Territory, was found dead yesterday morning about o'clock in the Orient saloon. The cause of his death is thought to be due to heart failure. John w. Sheppard came to Arizona in 1884 and has spent the most of his time in Bisbee. For short time he was editor of the Tombstone Epitaph and later associated in newspaper work in Douglas. The funeral will be held this afternoon from the Pethian Castle un- der the auspices of the Elks' and Red Men lodges, to which order he belonged He was 46 years of age.

 There is much discussion in Bisbee over the proposed water franchise and issuance of Sl50.000 sewer bonds for which special election has been called. It is proposed to issue sewer bonds to the amount ot $l50, 900 and to give the Bisbee-Naco Water company a fran chise to furnish the city with water for 25 years at the rate of $l00 per month for flushing the mains. Objec- tion is urged against this latter feature and some minor ones, which will prob ably be remedied.
 From the International Amerran
 Many merchants of Douglas are com menting on the improvement in their sales and the better collections they are making since the gambling games closed. One business man on Avenue c says he is collecting nearly all his bills very easily now, whereas the number left on his hands during the gambling reign was something fright. ful to contemplate.
