of the Presidents Alabama referees Jo- seph O. Thompson, said he had just been informed by wire from Washington of the appointment of MT. Hundley. In speaking of it, he said:
 '"The impression that Judge Hundley only had the support of the republican organization in Alabama is an erroneous one. No man ever applied for a judicial office in the state was was more liberally supported by the bench, bar and business interests generally than was he. No par ticular noise was made, but the people of both parties gave him quiet support which made a magnificent showing, and must have been very pleasing to the Pres- dent and attorney general. l have heard 1t predicted by members of the bar In Birmingham that Mr. Hundley will make a record which has not been surpassed in this state; in short, he will make business judge and will lay aside every thing that may In any way interfere with the highest performance of his duties. He will have no enemies to punish and l feel sure that by the time Congress meets all opposition to him will have been with drawn"

VIII Need Cotton Seed.

The following letter has been received by Selma merchant:
 Stafford, April [, 1907. Messrs. C. w. Hooper & Co.,, Selma, Ala: Dear Sirs-We are in the midst or the worst and most disastrous hailstorm ever witnessed by anyone in our country. The ground is covered in ice from six inches to twelve inches deep in drifts and ditches and In the rows in the fields The trees look like winter, not a vestige of any thing green being left. Corn is ruined and considerable damage was done to property. Roofs of houses were almost wrecked, the hail splitting boards and shingles from the tops of houses.
 I am not certain, but l do not think cotton seed can be secured here. Please look out for us. I have just finished plant ing in the last three days 300 acres that had planted several weeks age. dam aged seed causing me to plant over. Now I don't think it possible for any seed to come through the beaten and chilled earth, and I have only seed enough left to plant about 100 acres.
 Please look out for us and be ready to help us with seed. We can tell more about it when the ice gets off the ground. 1 do not doubt but that ice will remain on the ground tomorrow morning as 1t Is drifted in banks two feet deep In places. All birds were killed, but can't find out about any persons being injured tonight.
 The hailstorm was about o'clock Sun day afternoon went around the pianta- ton afterwards and found only few houses unroofed but all damaged. We have plenty of time. teams and labor, and can straighten out things fast if we can get seed if we have to have them. know we will have to have some, but can't tell whether late planting can come through. Yours truly.
