this remarkable statement:
 He (meaning Lieutenant Governor Cunningham) has agreed with me that from tbs Railroad Commission to the Legislature. why, then. do he and his friend. The Advertiser, insist that who they concede knows more about the re- issue involved than any man In the State. should remain on the Railroad Commission when the fight has been transferred to the Legislature and the State government?
 MT. Conner in his speech fin this city. at Lafayette, Evergreen and other rate issue from the Commission to the Legislature by seeking to create the impression that the Conmlssion had no power. This Dr. Cunningham has ev- anywhere oombatted. The Advertiser printed several editorials to show that MT. Conner was running away from position which he had sought in order to climb to higher one. We showed that the Commission had ample power and that its authority had been sus- tained by the United States Supreme Court on an appeal to that body from the Georgia Supreme Court. Mir. Conner is simply trying to mislead the people. We certainly have never given express sion to a belief in MT. Corners super lative wisdom about railroad rates, for we do not believe he is broad or wise enough to look beyond the points in which he has direct or personal inter- est.

The injury to the pressing effects upon the mental &C., tivity occasioned by defective light and bad ventilation are so generally rec Sgstn,ze66 Wsth 6 tnat ne no o3I 9ne can ca md tauit defects.
 The pressure on the board of edu- cation to spend money for good light Is to use the funds in ways less bene- hcial to the children. Architects urge the board to erect artistic school hous- es, the contemplation of whose exterior shall imbue the boys and girls with a love of beauty. lt is not desirable that school building should be hideous structure, built on the Hines of a cotton mill. but It Is not necessary that 1t should be unreasonably expen- sive in order that 1t may not be ug- ly. A good architect is able~to secure pleasingf results with lavish out lay:
 ate and costly building 1t Is told that everything In 1t must be in keeping. The other day a committee considered the purchase of some chairs for a new school house. Those of one pattern will cost S1.45 apiece and those of another 85 cents. The cheaper ones are as good for all purposes as the dearer ones, but those who favored tSe latter laid great stress on the absnrdity of buying S5 cent chairs for building which cost between $150.000 and S175,- 900. IT re would be lack of harmo- ny which would not offend the school children but which wopld be offensive to those who. have culture.
 Utility and economy, pot art and the board of education. The greater the degree of economy displayed the greater will be the number of children provided with school accommodations by the expenditure of the $5,600,00 That is large sum, but, in justice to the taxpayers and the school children, not a dollar of 1t should go for use- less -ornamentation and costly archi- tectural fripperies.

Cunningham in Colbert.

Lieutenant Governor Cunningham's visit to this county has been an eye opener for many of our people who had been deIuded into the idea that Hon. E. 8. Conner was the shippers Moses. Dr. Cunningham is not out fighting railroads; neither Is he in their employ, nor is he under their infiu- ence In any way. He carries his mile age book and does not ride on free passes. Having been with the Cover nor during his two days canvass in sneak the least bit disparagingly of MT. Conner He is running on his own record for honesty and integrity and tho faithful execution of the law. The real place for MT. Conner to be if hc wishes to benefit the shippers of Ala, bama. is to remain on the railroad commission. where he is, until the two new commissioners ara elected; then If they are in accord with him he can carry out his views, and he can do 1t in no other way Let us all stand bv Dr. Cunningham. a self-made man and the peoples candidate Tor Governor.

Odd Method of Tree GrnftIng.

Pacific Fruit World.
 Some owners of forests of valuable woods are trying experiments in the Southern part of Mexico with the wal nut trees. It is not generally known outside the trade that there are many kinds of walnut woods and that only part of them have so far been eonsid- cred valuable from q commercial point Of view Now the scheme is to make these less valuable sor worthless wal nuts commercially valuable. And the process is a curious one.
 T. consists of opening the roots or the trees and inserting one or more nuts. which are quite small, from the best vaJeties of walnut trees. It Is s.id that these nuts. which are care fnlly sealed in with wax or a stiff, water proof stopper, impart a new or closer grain and coloring to the tree.

 Washington Special:
 AS a political strategist the presi- dent is little short of a genius" said Senator Deliver in commenting on the Tillman Roosevelt controversy. He made use of the Democrats. and then he threw them before they could put him in a hole. He used the Democrats until he had reduced the Republican Senators who were against him to a frame of mind where they were will ing to listen to any suggestion. Then, without any thirty days notice. he dropped the Democrats. No doubt those fellows were conspiring to trick him. But he was too quick for them"
 A similar sentiment was voiced by far western senator. who said:
 "Out in our country Roosevelt will not suffer by his alleged h,na breach hla6a oa of morality in our politics is not so They will simply say that Roosevelt was smart. and was able to- turn a sharp corner with the best of them"

for centuries been in the habit of se- curing curious effects in coloring on
 fine woods by inserting in the above manner nuts of other trees into the roots of the living trees. An enter prising planter in Tabasco has been following out this Indian idea with curious results. He mentioned this to other haciendsados. and now several of them are experimenting with the coarser kinds of walnut trees with ep- couraging results.

The Sea Serpent.
IHV kSSk sytFVtuts London Chronicle.

The cult of the sea serpent is being re- vived in France, even an expedition to seeS it suggested, in a learned article by M. Ra> phael Blanchard. It seems that the sea serpent has been seen more than once off the coast of Tonquin, and. having been so obiging as to choose a French colony for his hunting ground, everything points. ac- cording to the learned professor of medi- cine, to his capture by French naturalist. This seems scarcely necessary. however, since M. Blanchard gives a minute portrait of the creature, not forgetting his nous tache avantageuse' and his tough skin. on which ''a howitzer may, rain shot without causing him the least Inconvenience" Cer- tainly, as the particle concludes by saying La question du serpent de mer est vrai- ment passionante."
