 Hon. John H. Wallace, Jr., Huntsville Ala.
 Dear Sir-It was with deepest interest that I read your letter of recent date with reference to the game laws of Ala bama and the urgent need of strict en- foroement, and was particularly gratifed to see a movement in this direction start ed by citizen of my home county. and the pleasure Is equal when I read today that the idea was meeting with such gen eral favor. and wish to add my name to the list of those who most heartily approve the passage of any measure or measures looking to the protection to both our game and song birds. especially the latter. for though l seldom hunt, I think it little less than murder to destroy the many species we have, which are both harmless and highly ornamental and will support to the utmost limit Of my ability, any man or measure what soever. that will tend to stop the wanton slaughter which one can see most every day. I most earnestly hope that unquali- fled success may crown your efforts in this direction Yours truly,
 R E HEWLETT.

Parrot a Great Whistler.

From the Chicago News.
 Col. Dennis OKellys Jnarrot which lived in the eighteenth century, was per- haps the most famous parrot the world has known One of it's accomplishments was the whlstling of the 104th Psalm. When the colonel died in 17S7, a very large proportion of his obituary notices in the English press was devoted to this remarkable brd which got other consid- erable notices of it's own when it died fifteen years later. This parrot could also whistle God Save the King" and 'The Banks of the Dee' and would go back and correct itself if 1t got a note wrong.

 My Dear Sir-Wlll make our representa- tives come out square for your game and fish bill, however there will be no trou- ble along that line as the sentiment In thls section is very strong for a general law of that kind.
 l hope you will prohibit Gin your bil) hunting during snows as we have had so much game killed in this vicinity by negroes pot shooting" I am told that they have such law in Virginia and some other eastern states and that 1t IS a great protection.
 When l can serve you please let me hear from you. Yours very truly,

MOBILES COUNTY. NOTES


This fall has been one of the most
unfavorable for threshing that We
have had in many years. The fire.
quent rains have delayed the work
very much, and some of.the.. grain,
owing to the heavy rains just after
harvest, is in rather had condition
for threshing. In week or so,
however, if we have favorab BILE
weather the seasons threshlng will
be about finished.
Born-To Mr.. and Mrs. John
Terhark on Saturday, Nov. 3, fine
son and heir. John and his good
wife are happy.
T. B. Thompson had the mis-.
fortune to lose q good horse a few
days ago. The loss of horse is
never q pleasant thing to think
about, and especially so in these
days when a fairly good horse is
worth from hundred to a hundred
and fifty dollars.
It begins to feel as if winter
would soon be here.
There are some things in this
world of ours the benefits of which
we never fnlly realize until we
learn them by experience, and the
convenience of the telephone service
is one of those things. When the
matter of putting a telephone wire
through this town was first talked
of a good many of our people were
slow to take hold Of it; but now
that we have it people are more
than satisfied with it, indeed they
would esteem the lack of it a great
privation. Friends living miles
apart can have brief chats with one
another, when help is needed, it can
be called for at once, thus saving
not only time but often times miles
to travel, and in scores of ways it's
use is q means of both pleasure and
profit. Year by year country life is
becoming less and less isolated,
more and more social and pleasant.
One day last week while Jake
Brink was watering span of ponies
belonging to Gene Smith, one of the
frisky little fellows turned and
kicked him the face. Forum atty
Jake was not hurt very badly,
though the pony drew the first
blood. The kick will lea We a mark
on Jake 3 face for few days, pro-
baby that will be about the worst
that will come of it.
We did not have a very full vote
at the election last Tuesday, but
we should have had . larger vote
had it not been that several tn resh-
ing machines were at work in town.
Will Scott and Nels Scott after
threshings all day came several
miles through the rain and the
pitchy darkness to cast their votes,
supposing that the polls were open
until nine o'clock the same as at
the primary election. They were
not able to vote but they showed
the right intention, and, as someone
remarked, each ought to be present.

nition of so worthy deed.

with the difficulty of charging the sea-

The principal complaint registered so

GOVERNOR CUlLMLNS' PRONTNCIAMENT0
Governor Cummins' explanation TO
republicans OF Iowa of the reasons for
his candidacy for third term re-elec-
ton outlines in strong colors the main
lines for a campaign against corporate
domination. Even though the idea of
a third term may go against the grain,
tho reforms for which the governor is
enlisted appeal strongly TO republicans
in the Roosevelt ranks. who believe in
a square deal and no favoritism.
Governor Cummins calls attention in
particular to two measures against
which the railroad cohorts are even now
battling before the Iowa legislature.
oppose a proposition to abolish free
passes and free transportation when
they ought to welcome an enactment
requiring everyone who rides to pay"
Railroad opposition to the direct pri-
mary in Iowa is explained on the same
theory, namely, that it would weaken
the grip of the railroads upon political
machinery, as that is the fountain head
of government. According to Governor
Cummins, the allied corporate power
has decided that there shall be no d.
rect primary nominations because they
know that II the bill passes it would do
mere to lessen their influence in poll
ties than any other measure now pro-
posed for the public good"
Governor Cummins might have in
serted in his list the fight for more equal
taxation Of railroad property because
the railroads in Iowa shirk their taxes
in only n smaller degree than they do
in Nebraska. But on this point he is
silent
There is no good reason, however,
why these reform measures should not
he enacted into legislation at the pres
ent sitting of Iowa's law makers and
put into execution by Governor Cum
Minis before his present term of Office
expires, whether he is endorsed or de-
feated in his third term aspirations.
The opposition to Governor Cummins
insists that IL is not dividing on the
railroad issue and If this is the case, II
might make good such assertions by
assisting IN perfecting these reforms at
once before the campaign is really on.
