His skull was cracked almost entirely around but not far moment during his Illness, covering period Of seven weeks, was he at any time uncon- scious His remarkable vigor of mind and physical vitality were astonishing to the medical profession of this city, and his complete restoration to health was a happy surprise to his widowed mother and a puzzle to his attending physicians.
 Several members of the Colbert coun- | ty bar made an effort yesterday. after. noon to have a special term Of court called for June, on account of Judge Nathan's disqualification to set in many cases. The effort was defeated and no special term will be c5seed l Most of the cases wanted to be hearo at the special term were damage suits against the Sheffield Company and otn- CT corporations represented by dudge
 Nathan before his appointment to the bench. The cases will now go over to the fall term, and judge competent | to sit will hear them.

 The speaker made his regulation "cupidity' talk, among other illustra- tions using the action of the farmers association in placing the price Of cot ton at ten cents. then increasing to eleven and at New Orleans saying that fifteen cents would be about right.
 A voice: There were just few who did what which a good many didn do."
 Mir. Conner replied That's all right, but if there's any man in this house let him raise his hand and say he wouldn't take fifteen if he could get it." The voice: T have got ten bales and I will take eleven cents for it." Mir. Conner replied that was because the gentleman didn't think 1t would go to fifteen cents. This discussion caused quite a little merriment Referring to his efforts to get the Texas law passed for Alabama. he said "Yofi remember the speaker of the House. MT. Tunstall. was railroad lawyer and this was referred to the Committee on Commerce and Common Carriers. and 1t Is said that he took all the friends of the railroads in the House and put them on that commit tee."
 He made his same statements as to the money spent by the railroads to de- feat him before and paid his usual re- spects to his associates on the Com mission.

 -Four years ago we asked Dr. Gun ningham to take this question and say where he stood on 1t. He never answer ed it. He didn't think 1t worth while to answer 1t. He says now 1t was foolish to ask that question because it ought to have been known where he stood. but he didn't declare himself on it, and he was running for Lieuten- ant Governor. too. He didn't make a single speech, yet today as candidate for Governor. he devotes three auar- ters of an hour of speech he makes to freight rates"
 He made his usual charge that Dr. Cunningham in his platform had gone farther than he (comer) ever had, but the Doctors associates would prevent its being carried out.
