Tuscumbia, August 13.-(SpeciaL)--- Speaker A. IT. Carmichael Is at home from Montgomery, where he made a fine record in the Lower House of the Legislature as It's speaker, and Is now being favorably mentioned as a can didate for Governor of Alabama.
 MT. Carmichael says the Legislature accomplished much important legis- lation and while some of 1t is probably objectionable, the measures enacted as a whole will prove beneficial to the great mass of people. Mir. Carmichael while not declaring himself can didate for Governor, says 1t is possible that he will be four years hence, un- less something intervenes to change his mind He can not tell at this early date what the issues may be at that time, but that 1t is possible that he will enter the race.
 He has been importuned to make the race, and if he declines to do so. the man that enters against him will have a hard road to travel. He is strong timber, and with his record in the last legislature he will prove a formidable candidate.
