= CALL FOR MASS MEETING OF DEMOCRATS OF JEFFERSON co.

10 five minutes How was it possible that manufactured law which overruled and set aside the statutes of Alabama could be argued within five minutes? The prop osition is absurd.
 9 The rules which were adopted re- quired Colonel Higdon to prove his case in a different and far more difficult way than Judge Stiles. The two parties were on different basis. Is this democratic? Should not the contestants have been put on an equal basis?
 3. And furthermore it was matter of utter and hopeless impossbility to expect justice, equity and a square deal from a committee that refused to purge itself of members who had money bet on the election. For while the committee passed a resolution asking any member who had a bet on the election to retire, it voted down d resolution to ask each member of the committee whether he had a money wager on the result of this contest.
 4. In requiring of Colonel Higdon to file certain information by 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon with the committee on a question the argument of which was not finished until two hours thereafter. 5. During the first day the roll call Of the committee on every question regard less of It's merits stood about 34 for Stiles; in one or two instances only did it vary. Democrats. remember eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. The expected has happened. Having unnecessarily at tempted to defeat Higdon by stealing the ballot box they have proceeded in most partisan manner to rape the democratic party. The theft of the Lewisburg box being unsuccessful. the partisan executive committee has attempted by the most outrageou machine methods to force the machine candidate upon the people of Jefferson county as the regular nominee. Remember, democrats, that the days of political oligarchy in Jeffersoi county is past. We were emancipated by the new constitution and submission to fraud at the ballot box will no longer be tolerated. At a meeting of democrats presided over by Hon. Fred M Jackson, held at the rooms of the Commercial club on Satur day night October G. 1906, the under signed were authorized and do hereby call a mass meeting of the democrats of Jeff ferson county, to be held at Gelders hall at o'clock D. m, for the purpose of taking the necessary steps to place the name of the democratic nominee for sheriff, Col. E. l.. Higdon, as a candidate upon the official ballot. to be voted for at the election to be held on November 6, 1906.
 All democrats are urged to be present.

Passing of the Apple.

 What iron is to the metals and Michel Angelo to the artists and Shakespeare 10 the poets, the apple Is to the 1rults' "A child naturally supposes gold to De much more essential to human happiness than iron. Jumps of which he can often pieh up in the streets but the mature man knows that beautiful and useful as gola ia the world could get along without It., but that without iron the human race would lapse into savagery.
 In like manner a child might suppose that the apple was commonplace ana poor compared with the peach, the apricot, the watermelon and the strawberry but thinking people know that greater than any or afl of these is the apple. fes' greater in every respect. It has the most numerous and beautiful colors. 1t has the greatest variety of matchless hayors. it has the greatest number of uses, 1t Is enjoyed the longest without satiety and it is by far the most wholesome of all the beautiful and luscious fruits with winch the Creator has blessed mankind.
 1t is no credit to religion that 1t has tried to disgrace the apple. We are grave ly told that a single apple was the cause of all the evils that have ever afflicted the human family. Eve plucked an apple and shared 1t with Adam and that damn ed the whole human race. This, of course. is a mistake, without any scriptural sup port. There Is no more proof that the for bidden fruit was an apple than the ser pent was the devil.
 It would be nearer the truth to say that the apple was the cause of all human good, for there Is no better security for good health and a long life than the ap- pie habit If everybody were fond of ap- ples and ate good apples. ate them in moderation and at the right times. the medical profession would pine and dle. It Is shameful and unaccountable but a fact. that apple culture has greatly de- clined and that really good apples have

FIND PIRATE CAVE.
Tunnel Formerly Used By smugeers
 Unearthed In Boston Street.

Boston.-The house that was former ly known as No. 453 Commercial street, Boston, was demolished recent ly, and upon it's site is the front side walk of large brick building that Is now in process of erection.
 Beneath this sidewalk and in what was formerly the cellar of the prem ises at No. 453, Is the water end of what In Bostons old days, when the tariff on importations of a certain character was well nigh prohibitive, was real smugglers' tunnel.
 It has been said by different author ities that this tunnel or passageway extended across Commercial street as far as Charter street, up the hill, and onward to Phippe place.
 Some writers have also hinted that the tunnel was a resort for pirates and their plunder.
 As early as 1917 the Boston histori- ans were speculating upon the origin of this mysterious excavation, its great size and the thorough workmanship of it's masonry, showing both skill and expense in it's construction. and the theory of a smugglers' retreat for con traband goods is probably the correct solution.
 Tn connection with the Commercial street tunnel has come to light more or less tradition regarding one Captain Gruch, French adventurer, who ap- peared unto Boston at time when the town was young, who bought the Phipps mansion, entertained upon scale of unusual magniflcence for that primitive era, and who drew upon the profits of the smugglers' tunnel for the means with which to meet the great expense of his princely hospi- tality.
 Gruchy seems to have been a sort of caDtain of finance as well as snug gler, as he purchased Peter Buffers warehouse, Boston's department store, in 1750. which was located in State near Chatham street. also the great distillery of Philip Dumaresq, in flaw kins street. From John Ruck, the then owner. he bought the mansion or SIT William Phipps, with Its great equip ment of ballroom, stables, gardens, terraces and the like. The ambitious Gruchy was veritable patrlclan among Boston's plain and frugal peo- pie. ,,
 But the Frenchman suddenly dis appeared one day.
 Ii is supposed that the cause Of his amazing wealth, the smugglers' tunnel, was revealed to some one in high au- thority and the discreet Gruchy sought other fields to conquer.
 A simple and unconventional mortar he'd now covers the portal of this mys- tery of nearly two centuries, and very likely 1t will be many years before the smugglers' tunnel will again come 10 light
