Politicians In Evidence.

Today has been a field day in Dallas
county politics. In fact, every Saturday
until March 26, will be red letter days
in political history In this county, for
on Saturdays the democrats from the
country precincts come to town and are
entertained by the candidates. On the
corner of Broad and Alabama streets
from one to six candidates might have
been seen during practically the entire
day. One would button hole a ruralite
and no sooner would he turn him loose
than he would be taken In hand by an
other candidate.
Dallas has seven candidates for the
legislature, seven candidates for county
commissioner one candidate for the state
mittee on assessing the candidates for
defraylng the expenses of the primary

at $25 for candidates for sheriff. $40 for

inspectors are not paid for serving in
elections In Dallas hence the cost of the
primary is not a great deal when COM
pared to other counties. The inspectors
are made up from the friends of the va
rious candidates and no pay is expected
or offered.
State politics is being severely let alone

BY hERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, March 3-(special)-The
story Of progress and prosperity Of the
state of Alabama during the past five
years reads like tale from the Arabian
Nights and few of its citizens have any
conception of the marvellous figures con-
tained in the simple relation of the facts.
The half decade from 1901 to 1905, IN
elusive. embrace the administration of
Governor William D. Jelks, who will go
out of office at the end of this year, and
the record made in every department OF
the state Is one to inspire pride in not
only that officer himself, but all of his
friends as we'll He has been in charge
of the commonwealth for the period Of
the greatest advancement Of Its history
and will go out with the assurance that
he has done we'll, wonderfully we'll, with
his stewardship.
Here are some of the eloquent details:
Profits of the convict department dur
ing five years of Jelks administration,
$9S727S; previous five years, S1O4S69; in
crease, $S32. 400.
Property valuation, 1900. s266. 1913, 2SS; 1905.
1914, 224, 221.
Net returns from the insurance depart
ment for five years ending 1900, $22,S7o;
from 1901 to 1906, 1887 004.
Balance in treasury January l, 1885, $685.,

Paid for schools, 1896 to 1900, So, 436, 1872
last five years, $5,424,S26
Paid out to old soldiers from 1896 to
1900, s597, 702; last five years, S1,6OO,776.
All this in the face of the fact that in
1903 the decrease in the tax rate from 70
cents on the 500 to 65 cents went into
effect
Business Methods.
The good conditions of the five years
of the Jelks tenure are no doubt at
tributable to the vigorous business meth
DDS of the head of the state government.
This is especially noticeable in the con-
Wet earnings and the increased valuations
of property given in for taxes.
In the employment of convicts contracts
have been made by which the prisoners
earn as much as If they were free, and
are better clothed, fed and attended to
In every way.
i In the case of tax valuations credit Is
due to the fact that the state examiners
of public accounts, under instructions
from the executive, have prodded the tax
officers of all the counties until they are
i putting up the valuations on every hand.
