Lieutenant-G Governor Henry B. Gray. This is Lieutenant-G Governor Henry B. Gray, who said he would name the committees Also, he did It.
 It was said the Governor dealt the cards in the committee naming game
 but whether he did or not, the Lieuten- ant -Governor held four aces when the shov, down came. When he named the
 committees. the men who had opposed i got the heavy thinking parts.
 The Lieutenant- Governor is re- formed reporter. He owns a bank In Rirminghan1. and that is about as Tar
 as extrernes can be carried. The Lieu tanant-Governor gets six collars day t, for sitting in a big chair and saying such things as The Senate will please .ooma to order.'' This bill having had one reading in the Senate, 1t Is referred to the Judiciary Committee" This olli having had two readings in the senate. 1 if will go on the calendar TOT thira | leading tomorrow" For what pur- l pose does the gentleman rum "i@i rise" The constitution doesn't even permit | the Iielitenant- Governor to vote, except in a case of tic. A specially arrang- | ad tie is going to be gotten up. that | the Lieutenant can nave at | least one vote recorded. The Lieu | tenant Governor Is fond of the chair he holds, and since he took cnarge Of It. I he has never permitted any other man | to occupy it. It is said there is chair down stairs in front of a big mahogany ! desk that he would & whole lot rather have. At this particular time. Gov err,Jr Conner is sitting in the chair. The Lieutenant-Govern has devel- oped into one of the best after dinner speakers in public life. While he has
 never been regarded generally as an orator it Is q fact that il. a five or ten minute talk he Is equal to the best of
 them. He Is a little better looking than the picture.

 County News.

Anniston, Jan. 27--(Speclal )-Ernest Ward has made his escape from the insane asylum at Tuscaloosa, where he was sent for treatment week or two ago, and this morning arrived Tn the city, coming from McFall through inc courtesy of J. D. Mccullers and I. L.. Yeatman, who encountered him at that place and paid his fare Into the city.
 ward, 1t will be remembered. was arrested for larceny, and given sent ence on the streets by the City Re- corder. He stole some articles from a fellow prisoner and was given an ad. 1ltIonal sentence. He then began de- stroying things In his cell and was sentenced to additional days on the streets as well as being manacled and chained to the wall of his cell. He then secured a nail and destroyed the locks on the shackies that were on him and he was given another sentence.
 About this time the County Physi- elan was called in and after an exarn- jnation he declared Ward Insane. Ward was turned over to the county au- thorities and sent to the asylum at tuscaloosa. from which he effected his escape.
 His story of his escape from the asy- lum is that on being sent outside the grounds for milk he kept going untli he secured accommodations on freight train, by which means he reached Ac- Fall early this morning, when he was discovered and put off the train.

 When the artist went up to the Sem ate Chamber to draw hts pictures, Cap- tain Bill Maybin looked so much like a Senator that he put him in the lot. This picture is printed to sh ow captain Maybin's Dale County friends how much he has grown to look like Statesman.
 He fs Assistant Doorlxeeper of the Senate, and he looks arter the Sem atoriaI mail. This is the second tune he has held the job. Every time some other fellow has started out to run against him. When his opponent would reach Montgomery Captain May bin would take him aside and say;
 T don't want to hurt your feelings, but the best thing you can. do is to take your grip and go back home on the next train. I've got this thing sewed up in a sack"
 When Captain Maybin is not door keeping, he is collecting for a coal com rany. That's where he gets that grim look about the mouth.
 Captain Maybin came out of the wiregrass to live in Montgomery He has been known to talk as long as five minutes without saying something about Headland and Dale County, but these instances have been rare. In ev- cry campaign he goes into the Wire grass and then comes back to tell ev- erybody, how she is going"
 He knows the pedigree of every fam ily in the Wiregrass, including the fam ily secrets, "even to that time Sally, She second daughter, married that sew ing machine. agent that got arrested in Ozark for beating man out of sl5 on a hoss trade" Captain Maybin knows the time when there weren't fifteen men in his community that had ever seen -aiIroad train, and when every

PRESIDENT DIAZ ALSO SIREN
UOUS.

President Diaz of Mexico, who is past
n, literally takes upon himself very
extensive portion of the administra-
tive work of his government. He is
an early riser, and his day is sys-
tematically arranged. Few public men
are more kindly and agreeable in pri-
vate life than the President of Mexico,
and he has behind a habitual gravity
of manner a very keen sense of humor.
He never frets or worries over petty
matters and is always calm and in
perfect mental poise in times of crisis
and emergency.

OF CURRENT INTEREST
WHERE THE MOTHER IS ST.
PREME.

An interesting survival Of the metri-
Archaic has been discovered in India
as a result of a study of the more i'm
portant tribes and castles ordered three
years ago by the government. The
Khasis, numbering 1854, are COM
pletely surrounded by a great popula-
ton with widely different customs.
Yet they have preserved, ii is said,
one OF the most perfect examples still
surviving of the matriarchate. The
mother is the head and only bond Of
union in the family. In the most prin-
tive part of the community she is
the only owner of real property, and
through her alone is inheritance trans
mitted. The father has no legal kim
ship with his children, who belong to
their mothers clan. On marriage the
man leaves his father and mother and
cleaves to his wife, as seems to have
been the custom when the book of
Genesis was written, living with her
in his mother-in-law's house. But
sometimes he only visits her there.
The principal duties are feminine, and
a woman is high priestess. The sun is
feminine and the moan masculine, and
feminine nouns predonlinate in the
language.
