 Gadsden Times-News: Now that the con- gressional campaign is about to open there will he a decided cessation of trust-bait- ing.
 Andalusa News A thief at Florala stole the night polceman's trousers. As usual, the policeman was asleep-but he wasn't on duty.
 Demopols Times: The Bryan boom Is still growing. From everywhere comes the report that he is the man to lead democ- racy to victory.
 Centreville Press: John D. Rockefeller prefers to watch the battle on the Stand ard Oil company afar off. He does not care to get up on the firing line.
 Dadeville Spot Cash: When we read in the Georgia papers about that states strenuous campaign we conclude that Alabama Is having no politics at all.
 Gadsden Journal: Tillman and Bailey put up good scrap and both sides of the sen- ate enjoyed 1t. Both apologized but not until they had shown their mettle

 Talladega Mountain Home: There was some politics in old Talladega last week. John B. Knox, William B. Craig, Henry A. Skeggs and Horace Hood smiled on the boys.
 Atmore Spectrum: It is remarkable to contemplate the number of things Con gross has accomplished that 1t had no idea of doing when 1t first met this ses- sion.
 Montgomery Advertiser The chauffeur of the Raleigh (N. O Times declares that he has not slipped a mint julep since he has been a resident of that state. Are the Tar Heel products so bad as that?

 Alexander City Outlook: One Alabama editor who is asking for state office will have an easy walkover in the August primary. Frank Julian of the North Ala bamian is the lucky man. He is offering for secretary of state and Is just too clever to find opposition.
 Baldwin Times: Congress has at last ad- journed. It was indeed great Congress and las probably accomplished more real work than any Congress since 1878. The country is relieved. however and breathes a sigh of relief as the nations legislators scramble home and to the woods for rest. Huntsville Mercury: We notice that a number of cities are experimenting with a patent wood paving block, claiming it Is noiseless and easily handled for re- pairs. This may be true but decaying wood is disease breeder, and it will decay after a while. Memphis had quite an ex- perience along this line some years since Wilcox Banner; In case either of the candidates now seeking the office of gov ernor is chosen, no such catastrophe as befell San Francisco will be visited upon our state, We are sorry to differ with so many wise and patriotic men, but we have heard that same old story for over century and our state has marched on- ward and upward and nothing can stay her progress now with 100000 population and resources unbounded
 Marion County News: We notice In some localities that Conner and Cunningham clubs are being formed. While we grant to every one the right to think and act for himself, we believe that the plan of organizing clubs favorable to one demo- crat as against another democrat is cry bad politics, and is bound to lead to dis sensions that result in men quitting the party who would otherwise remain in 1t. Democratic clubs are all right, but clubs organized in the interest of a single in- dividual is all wrong.
