senator Pettus' Birthday

Selma Journal.
 Senator Edmund w. Pettus, who was S6 years old on the 9th inst. Is. de spite his hale, hearty appearance to the contrary, the oldest member of the United States Senate
 Senator Pettus still feels deeply the loss of his venerable friend, colleague and fellow-townsman, Senator John T Morgan. who recently passed away. The two had been life long associates and Senator Pettus was probably the only intimate friend that Senator Nor gan had in the Senati
 It is interesting to note that Senator Pettus Is not only the oldest membeN of the Senate. but also the oldest man in public life in the United State to- day. He was born two months after the death of Napoleon. while James Monroe was President of the United States This was before the admission of Missouri to the union, and only two years afteN his own State of Alabama was created, He has watched the quaGrennial battles of presidential elee- tions sixteen times since he reached his majority and he has seen the union double in size from twenty three states to forty-six.

Reduce the Taxes.
Florence Times

Let the coming session of the Legis- lature see to it that the State taxes are reduced. We do not want to see a big surplus of the peoples money accumu- lated in the treasury. It would invite extravagance The first session of the present Legislature is a living example of this latter fact. It created new of tices. raised salaries and maGe big ap- propriations as no previous legislature had ever done-all because of an over flowing amount of the peoples hard AarnAd money.
