STATE POLITICS


 Fayette Banner: As far as we can find out from our exchanges, the action of the executive committee is giving very general satisfaction.
 Dadeville Outlook: There should be no kick about the action of the state demo- cratic executive committee. It gives us a full adult dose of primary and everybody should be satisfied.
 Ashland Standard We look for at least half dozen candidates for the United States Senate to announce right soon, but 1t will surprise us if any one of them offers to run against either Senator Mor- gan or Senator Pettus.
 
 Clayton Record: The action of the state democratic executive committee, in regard to the senatorial situation, is practically nomination of Senators Morgan and Pettus. as there is but slight possibility that they will have opposition.
 Ashville Aegis: The criticism of the state democratic executive committee comes from doubtful sources; we are not dis 
 ocratic, but when a committee of the party does It's best to reconcile conflicting contentious, 1t behooves the democratic press to support it's action.
 Geneva Reaper: Dr. Cunningham is a taxedermist. Mir Conner is yan elephant hunter, whose diet is raw meat and who bathes in the milky-way. What we want for governor Is plain safe, sane and sound good citizen with no frills on him-a man of sense and in whom the people will have entire conf dence. Shall we name him?
 Selma Times: There will be four candi- dates in the field for the Senate, certain and there may be more, viz: Knox John ston, Clarke and Oates. There may be i several others who will poll few thous- and votes each, but these will be the fouI leading candidates for the succession With these four contendlng for the two succession places it would not take the ken of a prophet to see who would win out As the field now stands Knox and Johnston will come under the string away ahead, unless something further should turn up to disturb the present condi- | tions

THE KING OF SPAIN.
Alfonso's Good-feIowshlp Has En-
 deared Him to His People.

Vance Thompson in Everybody's Maga-
 zine for February.
 Alfonso, the young King of Spain. leads busy life. made up of work and study and sport-such life as any clean minded young man might lead. And this is what has endeared him to his people. In no monarchy was the Kings majesty more hedged about with ceremony. The young King has broken It all down. His ancestors gloomed behind the curtained windows of the palace He has gone to the people. He IS part of the national life And his frank and boyish good fellowship has done more to make the monarchy safe than ''all the Kings horses and all the Kings men"

Southern Lumber.

Tn the ten months ending October S1, g1905, the department of commerce and labor puts the production of southern Humber at 2,S47,314,1S1 feet, as against a production of 1,775 1S7,OOO feet in the Corresponding period of 1904. The gain was over billion feet, or about 60 per cent.
 The distribution of southern lumber in the ten months of 1905 is thus stated by the department of commerce:
 Feet Consumed in the south .,....,s.. zls.7ol 633 Exported ........ ...s............. l40, 192 SSl Shipped to other states ......... ,4S7. .s1a TIT It will thus be seen that seven e.snuhs of the product of southern saw mills is sent to other states, and that the portion exported is but per cent of the total cut. The south consumes about per cent of it's own lumber, sends abroad , per cent. and other states take the remainder, about S6 per cent
 The chief producing states are Mis- .souri. Arkansas. Texas, Louisiana. Mis- ,sissippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The Carolinas are no longer great pro- ducers.
 Over one billion feet were shipped in the ten months in question to four Ssta,es, namely, Illinois, Missouri, Texas and kansas. This left about billion and one-quarter feet to be distributed -among the other states and in the ter ritories.

For a Cold.

Things are seldom what they seem,' said man about town yesterday.
 That old adage reminds me of an in eldent that happened in little town in the west not so many years ago. A tenn perance lecturer had come to town suf- fering from bad cold. He was telling his troubles to a friend whom he met shortly after his arrival in town. He said he had tried most everything for the alment but nothing seemed to do him any good
 "After suggesting a number of old fashioned remedies his friend said, I'll tell you MT. Blank what 1 have found as an excellent remedy It is little hot whisky punch on retiring at night. The lecturer threw up his hands in horror at the idea. Finally it was explained to him that as long as he was taking 1t for medicinal purposes 1t would do no harm. MT. Blank said While l have never tasted the beastly stuff, l am tempted to take 1t as you suggest because you know l must do something so as to be able to speak tomorrow night. However, there is one difficulty How am l to drink the Hot WHISKY Wlthoul eNeISone hhoWihs what l am doing? His friend said that was easy enough. l will get you bot tie of whisky, and take 1t up to your room. When you are ready to retire. ring for little hot water to shave yourself. mix toddy and go to bed. Blank thought that was fine idea, and the whisky was bought and sent up to him.
 'The next day as the friend went to call upon Mir Blank, he met an Irish porter in the office and asked him if MT. Blank was up stairs. He said. 'Yis sir, he is, but the' poor man has gone crazy en- toirley. Do you know that last noight from tin o'clock until two this marnin he sent down 37 toimes for hot wather to shave hisself.'

"Tha co-Pastor,"

"rhe plan put into operation by the Rev J. A. Duncan, pastor of the First Methodist church, of starting a weekly paper devoted exclusively to matters of interest to the members of his congrega- tion, is proving very popular" said a church member yesterday.
 "The paper, which Is entitled the Co Pastor is a highly attractive publication and is edited by pr. Duncan himself. It Is sent free to all members of the church and its expenses are met y advertising.
 ''The publication contains news of the church and also that of interest to all Methodists. A page of strong editorials and also a page of miscellaneous mat ter is attractively gotten up. The idea is new in this city but is proving to be popular and also worth while"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 When some isen borrow money they seem to think itIis only an umbrella.
 Most of what we call brains is just plain hard. nose-on-the-grindstone work. Even when her bank balance agrees with the cashiers. a woman never trusts him about 1t.
 No matter how poor a man is he al- ways thinks he can afford to do some thing his neighbor does.

FOREIGN POSTAGE STAMPS.

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
 It is proposed that the United States shall have on sale at its leading offices the postage stamps of Great Britain, Germany, France and other foreign coun- tries. This would be a great convenience, enabling writers to inclose reply postage. The large foreign-born population of the United States would be no worse Ameri- cans for it, and business would be facili- tated.l
