Prohibition Election.

Tuscaloosa, July 6.-(Special )-What promises to stir up right lively time in Tuscaloosa county during the next sixty days is an order recently issued by James C. Brown probate judge of this county, directed to Sheriff Kyle ordering the lat ter to give notice of a prohibition election to be held in Tuscaloosa county on Thurs day, September 20. It seems that quite toned the probate judge to call this elec- ton, and the probate judge, acting under an act of the legislature approved March 1, 1881, called this election.
 Quite number of the best lawyers of this place have expressed their opinion that the act in question is unconstitutlon- al. and void, and some have expressed the opinion to the effect that 1t was repealed by the dispensary act of February 27 1901 Quite large number of people have sign ed the petition asking the probate judge to call this election, but a great many of them are not qualified electors, and It Is very probable that some of those who signed the petition would vote against prohibition. It Is believed generally that the election will bring on very warm contest, and most of the conservative peo- pie in the community are desirous of avoiding this election if possible. It Is rumored that legal steps will be taken to prevent the holding of the election. It is probable that an injunction or a writ of prohibition or perhaps both, will be sued out to prohibit the clerk sheriff and pro- bate judge from appointing managers. clerks and returning officers to hold the election.

Cunningham at Blocton.

Blocton, July 6.-(Special. )-Lieutenan Governor Cunningham spoke to an au- dience of ninety persons last night at Fraternity park. He was introduced by Dr. George w. Randall, who made a very eulogistic introduction. He predicted tha. Cunningham would be the next governor of the state of Alabama, and said that he Is "a man who has done things and not man who promises to do things"
 Dr. Cunningham began his speech by review of the laws creating and regulating the office of governor, dealing with the constitutional judicial and executive branches of government, declaring the people to be the supreme authority. He then referred to the railroad rate question, declaring that he is in favor of a reduc ton of rates so that the Alabama rates will be equally as low as the Georgia rates. He said that MT. Conner has re- ceded from his original position and that now Conner Is clamorng for reduction of rates on 100 items of freight. He re- ferred to the fact that he has been called a band wagon climber, and stated that he has been in favor of a railroad commits sion the past twenty-five years, five years longer than Conner has been fighting for reform-"Then fellow citizens, who is the band wagon climber?" he exclaimed with the utmost vehemence.
 The speaker became eloquent as he re- ferred to the days past and gone, when the Confederates fought the fight which settled the question of slavery for ever, and he said that he favored an increase pensions Confederate He briefly stated that he wants more money appropriated to the schools, and stated too, that there could be something like million dollars more appropriated for the latter purpose by the next legis- lature.
 Next the speaker referred to the child labor question, stating that he favored law increasing the age of children before they are allowed to work in factories

sThe Burial of Sir John Moore

SThe Burial Of Sir John Moore"
"A writer in the Critic has discovered
Why the author OF that old.time ia
vorite of the school readers, THE
Burial of Sir John Moore" never sue
ceeded in writing any other poem
which was considered worth printing.
1t appears that The Burial OF Sir
uohn Moore" is nothing but a transla-
tim from the French Of a poem by
A.ally-ToHendal, an officer Of the
French army. who wrote the poem
after the death of a fellow soldier.
Here are two stanzas from the French
poem:
nj lie son de tambour. nj Ia
marche funebre.
nj lie feu des soldats ne marqua
son depart
&ais du brave, a la hate n travers laI
tenebres
Mornes nous portanies le ca
daVre au rempart!
DE minuit c'etait rheure. ct solitaire e,
sombre-
La lune peine ofrrait un debile rayon:
IA lanterne luisait peniblement dams
rombre,
ouand de la baionnette on creusa lie
gaZon.
The opening stanzas of THE Burial
OF Sir John Moore" are as follows:
Not drum was heard. not a funeral note.
AS his corpse to the rampant we hur
ried;
Not a soldier discharged his farewell
shot
Der the grave where our hero We
buried.
we buried him darkly at dead OF night
The sods with our bayonets turning;
by the struggling moonbeams misty light
And the lantern dimly burning
This similarity runs through the
entire poem, and leaves no room for
doubt that Rev. Charles Wolfe SIM
ply appropriated to his own use the
work of the French poet, put a new
title on it, and thus instead of dying
unknown beyond the boundaries of his
little parish made his name familiar
10 all English-speaking people. II was
master stroke on the part of Rev.
Charles. The Critics investigator ap-
pears to have been unable to discover
where Lally-Tollendal stole the poem.
