 odd to many. Three months ago. we would have said that had we been asked, Cunningham Is not in the race. We repeat it, Cunningham will carry carry the arraigffment of the Democratic party by MT. Conner. the severest to which we ever listened; we heard his villification and abuse of the railroad attorneys, the Governors, the Legisla- tors; we saw his eye flash, when be- fore his audience he turned loose the vial of wrath against the railroads. we heard his appeals to prejudice. But in all of his harangue, for 1t was a har- angue, neither oratory or wisdom, pa- triotism or statesmanshfp appearing in i. from it's inception to Its finish. There were a few who applauded, it was that small percentage of the people who are knockers and who seek to destroy.
 Today pr. Cunningham delivered a fine sentiments sound logic, principles of right and fairness run through It. he stood for justice to the people, to that he was just man and no one sided, single idea contracted infuriator or the ignorant masses can ever De statesman. and should never be a Gov- full of acrimony. hatred. Cruelty Is imprinted on his countenance. Ire other a kind. mild hammered man, a man who knows State history. man who stands for fair play. man free from vicious demagogical environ ments. and free from dividends based upon the blood of little innocents.
 Between these two the thoughtful citizenship of Madison county must pass We saw men walk up and shake Governor Cunningham's hand who rep resent the intellectually. the thought fulness of this community. We heard lem say, "I am for you" These very men have been put down for Conner. Out of that assemblage. a fine one. pr. 4 ,f,,ar rbo,N, vrril m votes we figured it close.

Prof Leon NJ. Stevenson Of Dade- vile. will not be a candidate for State Superintendent of Education. His name has been often mentioned in connection with the place in the last few months. but he has definitely de- cided not to enter the lists. He has accepted the position of Assistant Ed itor of The Christian Advocate, the Alabama Methodist paper, published at Birmingham and will be the first layman ever acting in that capacity. Prof. Stevenson has many friends over the State who would have given him warm support. This leaves Mir

It looks as if some sort of a game between Tom Watson and one faction of the Democratic party in Georgia has been broken up by the action of the state Democratic Committee In presenting rules for voting. For a populist leader of an opposing party Watson has been taking great interest in the contest between Hoke Smith and Clark Howell. It has been openly charged that he was seeking to have all the populists vote for Governor and thus decide as to who should be the nominee. The committee require ments is. that the man who votes in the primary shall be pledged to sup port all Democratic nominees. The At lanta Journal is fairly beside Itself with rage. because of this require ment.

A. To Mad Dogs.

 While there is so great excitement over the cry of mad dog, which we have been hearing for year or two, said a prominent lover of dogs yester.. day, T think it might be well to insert a word of caution to those who are looking fearfully at every animal which passes them on the street. While tho only thing to do when dog IS mad IS to kill 1t. care should be taken that valuable animals are not neediessiy killed before the certainty Of madness At this time of year. many dogs suffer from sickness, and become cross. They may snap at passersby without being Tn the slightest degree mad. have known Of animals to be sick for a period or several weeks at this time Of year. when everything the owner would do for them. might not restore them te normal health. But after while they would come around all right ana the trouble be over Understand. l am not talking against the killing of mad dogs, but there are many valuable animals in this city which are apt to be sick at this season. Their owners do not want them killed when a little nurs- ing will bring them around: What ! do maintain is that before killing any dogs, the person who does the shoot ing should be certain that the dog is mad. l want to see the dog have fair show"

The Richmond Journal commenting on the Presidents proposition to vir- tually confiscate large fortunes says:
 How far the man Is guilty of moral blame who merely profits by exist ing laws and conditions to wiring q huge fortune from the necessity of his countrymen who made this foolish law. may well be doubted: but there can be no doubt as to the criminal folly of seeking to correct our own blunders by imposing the penalty of confiscation on all fortunes. whether derived from honest and intelligent la bor, or the result of successful jug glerv with the watered stocks and bonds of tariff protected industries.
 And yet there are some who defend the Roosevelt idea and argue that if the law cannot prevent a man from amassing a large fortune it can pre- vent his giving it to his heirs. There are some curious ideas about things in this day.
