THE SIXTH DISTRICT CONTEST.

After serving in Congress for eighteen years and occupying the position of oldest consecutive member on the Democratic side. Hon. John H. Bank head will retire at the end of his term March 4. 1907 Two years ago in con- test with Capt. Richmond P Hobson. which excited national interest and unbounded enthusiasm in the Sixth Dis trict. he was successful by several hun dred votes. It was then predicted by Captain Hobson's friends that at the next trial there would be a different result and events have proven their faith well founded.
 Mir Bankhead has been an able and faithful representative. His position on the River and Harbor Committee gave him opportunity to be of immense hene- fit to the State of Alabama. and he has done the best that could be done to advance those great interests. He had the confidence and good will Of men of all parties and was. therefore. a man of commanding influence
 Captain Hobson is to be congratu- lated on his success in a contest with a man ranking among the foremost Democrats of the Union. It was na small victory to he triumphant in a Democratic primary over such a man. There is no man in the United States better known than Captain Hobson, but in connection with field entirely diff ferent from the one upon which he now eDters. His ability Is generally recos- nized. and if he turns his attention fully toward the dulles devolving upon a Congressman we believe he will meet the expectations of his friends and set at naught the predictions of his eue- mics.

There will be pies and rolls and dumplings for those who know how to appreciate the good things of life. and there will be wines and cordiais to stave off doctors bills. and dried berries for the time w8sn no fresh ones can be had.

WOODEN CHECKS.

TaIIies Were Used In England Until
the Year 1884.
Wooden checks are the sort of thing
one would expect to find used in China
or Tibet, but, as a matter of fact, they
We're used in England from the earliest
times down to as late as 1884.
Tallies, as they were called, were
made out of a curved piece of hazel,
notches being cut along the edges to
stand for certain sum of money The
tally was then sawed half through
below the lowest notch and the notch
ed part split into two pieces, on both
of which the notches appeared.
These pieces served as check and
eounterfoil. the latter being always the
larger piece with the unnotched end
as kind of handle. The smaller piece
was then taken by the payee, the larger
sent to the person on whom the check
was drawn, generally a collector of
customs or other revenues, public or
private. He would honor the check on
finding that the two pieces fitted and
had the amount credited to him by the
| drawer on returning them together to
him. Thus were the great danger and
expense of transporting large sums of
coin avoided.
Forgery of tally was obviously i'm
possible unless new counterfoil could
be substituted, and If stolen in the or
! binary way it would be of little use to
the thief, for, unlike our checks, there
was nothing to show on whom it was
| drawn.
There are still a good many tallies in
existence, but the majority were burn
| ed in the great fire which destroyed the
old houses of parliament. The remain
der are chiefly to be found in the pub
| lie record office and no doubt also in
the imminent rooms of great land
owners.

There is a well known English bishop
who writes very bad hand. This bad
hand caused a sad error TO happen
some years ago. A young clergyman
had written to the bishop TO inquire
about a vacant curacy. and the reply
that the young man got Informed him
that the salary was small and the work
difficult. But there was one mitigating
circumstance. The incumbent. among
his other duties, would visit the earl
every morning and spend two hours
there. The curate would have rejected
the post but for the daily visit 10 the
earl. That attracted him. There would.
no doubt he told himself. be many
fashionable dinners TO which he would
naturally be invited. lie would make
many friends among the rich and
powerful These friends would be able
10 help him in his career. The earl.
perhaps, had daughters. One of them
who knows stranger things had
happened And so the eurate accepted

discover on his first visit 10 the town
that he had misread the bishops letter
and that his daily two hours visit was
not to the earl. but TO the Jail.

he breathed his last. The condition of
the unfortunate young man had been
critical for several days and his death
was not unexpected.

sum OF 10000 from the International
Trust Company Of Denver, by whom he
was employed in clerical capacity,
and sentenced to term Of from four
to five years in the state penitentiary.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when 1t is
entirely closed Deafness is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
