olsIahoma's Prospective Governor.

Elba CIipper. ,,, Hams the Alabamian who is to the first governor of Oklahoma. is said to hail from the Canebrake region of West Alabama. He came from the Wire grass as matter of fact Of that there can be no doubt. He was reared over near where Dale, Pike and Bar, bour corner. and after going. to school in West Alabama practiced law Tor time at Troy: he then went to school at a well known West Alabama, Institu- ton some more, thence going west We fully expected Atlanta to claim him. but never dreamed of the Canebrake be- ing of that class of chalmers. Come to think of it, John Proctor. of High Jackson. is the guilty party. Don't at- tempt to be wise on the local history or the Wiregrass and the Canebrake' John and please remember that they are not one and the same.

The Advertiser has no intention of interfering in the local affairs of any community. but prints the following from The Prattville Progress as a basis for a short comment:
 The citizens of this town will hold an election on Monday, the 21st of this month. to decide the question whether this town shall issue $40,000 worth of bonds. the proceeds of the sale of which is to be expended in building a waterworks and sewerage system com with the needs, of the town. There is but few things that could happen to Prattville that would do it more good than an up-to-date water works and complete sanitary sewerage ,ystem.
 All that The Progress says as to the alue of the contemplated improve ents is true and what we desire to ty is that no man subject to poll tax n vote on the proposed question un- ss he has paid everything he owed
 that score. We are to have a city sction here in the spring. Similar ections will be held in Selma. Bir-
 ngham and other places in the State
 those who do not pay poll tax on
 before February l, will be shut out
