The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1906-11-18

Sumter Sun: Spain is spending $72, OO0,-
600 on new navy. This news will also
help the construction of the Skeered-
oNothing.
Guntersville Democrat; 1t will be some
thing of a strain on the Panamans, not
to have a little revolution for Mr.. Roose-
yelts entertainment
Taladega Mountain Home: Mr.. Hearst,
though defeated, at least so badly fright
ened the republicans that they'll give
their house a busting
Alabama Beacon: Winston county has
elected a republican legislator. We are
sorry for him and also for Winston
county. He will be too lonely for words.
Greenville Living Truth: There seems
Very few have been brought here and
unless conditions change there is likely
to be a turkey famine.
Mobile Register: There is a portion of
Philadelphia's population that is accused
of not living up to the city's reputation
and of insisting upon wakefulness that
is at times distressing-the babies.
Alabaman- Herald: The democratic
party was little bit disfgured in the
scrimmage but at any rate we didn't
lose the ball. It's long kick, but w. j.
Bryan may be able to make a goal in
1908.
Montgomery Advertiser: Some of the
Japanese papers, it is said, want that
little bantam to pick a quarrel with the
United States. What they say isn't worry
ing us, because we can't read word
of their lingo.
Centreville Press: Probably no local
election ever held created such interest
throughout the entire state, and you
could hear it discussed wherever you
went-Higdon and the Higdon crowd are
in the saddle, politically, in Jefferson.
Troy Messenger: A Maryland re-
publican admits pouring out his cash
for election, and excuses himself on the
ground that in his opinion the democrats
did the same thing. That is a bad ex-
CuSe. OIlS CTlIile uOtS HOI - an
other
Elba Clipper: Maybe Theodore is look
ing over that canal job to see whether
he will take it, when his present term
expires, as has been prophesied. If he is
wise in his day and generation he will
tackle something else: Canal building
is easy on paper, and nowhere else.
Franklin Times: The importing of $780,
100000 worth of drugs and dyes in the
United States should open the eyes of
farmers, as it has been demonstrated
that the canphor tree and the licorice
root can be easily grown in the United
States.
Marion County News: Montgomery
county, Alabama, has voted to issue $780,
GOO of bonds to be used on her public
roads This is as fine an investment as
the people of this county could make,
and will add much to the prosperity of
all the people.
Demopolis Times: An item of note that
occurred last week was the fact. that a
ship load of immigrants were landed at
Charleston, s. c., which is the first load
of immigrants landed at a South At
lantic port in fifty years. The tide is
coming our way.
Huntsville Tribune: Bryan and Hearst
is the team suggested by Chairman ODell
of New York for the democratic presi-
Dental nominees. This team would emil
nently suit the conservatives of the
United States and easily land the repub-
lican nominees with scarce the loss of a
single state. We trust the ticket Bryan
and Hearst will be nominated
Huntsville Mercury: The negroes are
indignant at the President because of
his decision that If they stand together
in crime the guilty and innocent shall
be numbered alike. This decision of the
President following the Atlanta riot is
making an impression on the colored
brother and is calculated to make them
realize the great harm this inherent and
prevailing custom brings on them as a
race.
