CROWDS COMING TO THE
 CAPITAL CONVENTION

 So the Democrats who come to gath CT in a convention will meet and min gle for political talk in a new lobby amid new scenes. Still, the delegates can take some comfort fren the fact that the bar of the new hotel is just as convenient as 1t was to the old hotel.
 The State Executive Committee will meet Friday and pave the way for the gathering of the convention. The offi cial vote in the primary will be can vassed at the committee meeting, and the result made known.
 As yet there has been no gossip as to who will be chairman of the con- vention. This will be practically set tied, however, day or two before the convention, but no name has yet been mentioned. Congressman George W. Taylor presided over the conven- tio six years ago. Two years ago when a convention was held to select delegates to the National Democratic Convention. Hon. Carson c.

The Democrats of Alabama will next
 Monday have the rare privilege of as- sembling in convention. It won't be a full grown convention, as 1t will only
 have the power to carry into effect the will of the voters expressed at the polls.
 Conventions for the past six years
 have not been popular in the State They have been shorn of all their pristine glory. The primary has held
 undisputed sway. The primary has
 unquestionably been the popular thing, 1 although there were leaders who all i the time favored the convention, but i only q few of them had the courage l to speak out in favor of it. In view
 of recent political conditions in Ala bama whereby only a wealthy man. l or man backed by interests which would put up the money for him, could
 make a strong race, there are more
 men who favor the primary now than i favored it four years ago. Still the 1 primary is in vogue, and 1t will In all l probability continue in vogue for some | time.
 ! Mondays convention will bring a great crowd to Montgomery. There | will be GA authorized delegates, to 1 say nothing of the interested Demo ] crats who will come, and the candi- | dates defeated and undefeated, Who | will come to look and talk politics. The average Democratic leader mas not 1 had many opportunities to foregather with other of his kind in Montgoms | cry and swap views and stories, ana this time he is coming in great num- ] bers.

INVENTION OPENS A NEW
 WORLD FOR THE BLIND

and benevolence has long vied with charity in enlightening the burden of their afict. and mitigating the trag- edy of their lives. To place within the reach of these this most helpful de- vice would put them at bound so in touch with one another, and with such profitable emplo. ent that our chari- ties in their behalf would lessen in de- mand and insignificance."
 Although based upon an entirely new principle in physics-the localization of magnetism--the machine is very simple in it's operation. It consists of two cylinders mounted about six inches apart lover which runs a thin steel wire passing between the poles of a double electro-magnet. Records are made by the effect upon an ordinary telephone transmitter of sound vibrations which are stored upon the wire.
 To hear the records the cylinders are reversed by a push button and started again in the same way Ordi- nary telephone receivers are then placed to the ears, and the sound. whether vocal or instrumental, which have been recorded on the wire. are heard with perfect distictness. Teiephonic conver- sations at any distance covered by the telephone are produced and reproduced in the same way.
 For dfctation purposes thin steel discs are used instead of wire, but the ope- rations are the sap"c in each case. In this way the blind can correspond with each other, the discs being so light that they can be mailed as merchandise foI two cents. They can be used over ana over again, passing magnet over then removing all trace of one record and making it ready for another
 Special arrangements will be made with institutions for the blind for the
 |. tnt. orA 1nx being made in this country. In this way all the advantages of instruction and entertainment afforded by the new invention will be brought within the reach of every one of some fifty or sixty thousand sightless Americans.

In all the world nothing stirs the
blood or excites the Imagination so
much as search for hidden treasure.
In fiction or in fact nothing is so en-
trancing. Thrilling as are the treas
ure tales of Robert Louis Stevenson,
tales just as thrilling are being en-
acted in truth in different parts of
the globe to-day.
At present several interesting treas
ure hunts are under way. In the lit
tie bay of Tobermory, on the west
coast of Scotland, syndicate is en-
deavoring to reach the strong box Of

which plunged beneath those waters
with wealth estimated at $4,000, 900.

terprise expect to reap a golden har-

the marshes of the Wash are being
explored for the royal jewels and
treasure of King John, which were
lost by him during his flight in 1916.
For some months an army of la
borers has been digging for treasure
on the island of Mauritius, once the

Seek Armada Treasure Ship.

At present a golden thread of ro-
mantle interest is being spun like a
shimmering spider web over Tober-
mory bay, one of the loveliest inlets
on the west coast of Scotland This
bay offers shelter to mariners and
fishermen off the northwest corner of
the Isle of Null.
At that point a determined search
is on for treasure, which, it is be-
lieved, has lain quietly under the wa
ter for more than three centuries.
A halo of romance and tradition
surrounds the gold which is supposed
to have gone down with the Admiral
of Florence, or Florentia, the treasure
ship of the Spanish armada, in 1888.
Legend has it that in September
of that year large Spanish galleon,
the FLorentia. in trying to avoid the
storms and save the treasure on board
until suitable weather made possible
her escape southwark. took refuge in
the safe, land-locked bay of Tober-
mory.
According to reports. the Florentia
had on board s15,OOO,0O0 In English
money. The officers and men, who
were starving. demanded food from !
the McLeans of Null.
In return for supplies, after due ne
the admiral agreed to land |
100 men to assist the Mclean clan of
Scotland, which at that time was at
swords points with the McDonalds.
He was also to pay the McLeans a
large sum of money as we'll If they
would assist him to repair his ship
This promise of money is taken to
show the presence of a considerable
