 ceived statement that l have ever mo- tieed. Yet it was brief. He only said, The Governors statement l regard as g declaration of war. 1 have had to fight for everything l ever got and l can fight for this. If they beat me out of the Sepatorship there is the Governorship ahead As brief as the statement was 1t was like trumpet call to thousands of Democrats over the State. It has more than any other single thing to do with the crystal izing of public sentiment so that sue cessful fight against Bankhead was made impossible.
 There were thousands of Democrats waiting for such call as that. Ihefe are thousands of Democrats Who are taking no stock in latter day populism under new name. These Democrats have not been given the chance to fight, as willing as they are 10 nght. The statement was a bugle call to let them know a scrap could be had and they fell in jogously.

 Most Exciting Sport.
 One way to spend summer yaca. tion," said a well known city official Indians. Did you ever try this form of reereation7' he asked party of sev- eral who happened to be standing around. against their usual custom: advise trip to the Indians village this summer. It's vast sport collaborating and novel,"
 No one answered. He, being the youngest one in the cons moany, was of course better versed in the dolngs.
 %You get your moneys worth, you may bet. while at the same time no nation can take you up because of vto- lation of the game law. Then, again, there are no humane institutions tat will accuse you of cruelty to animals. and you can go conscience free after your heaviest and most delightful kill. I tell you it's life, real life and full of fun.
 the ways of the woods in order to get a shot at the red man, but that you know, Nike all things, comes only af- ter long and painstaking experience. The only real danger that vacationist experiences when he goes to such hunts Is one that sometimes comes from the squaws, but 'tis more bother than ex- citement, with occasional fusses.
 "once you have gone on such Kill mouse mutdering will have no attrac- tions for you--absoIutely none. They are pretty good forms of amusement. I confess, but they are nil as compared to Nthe less dangerous and more enter taining sport of shooting Indians The only real thing, and have tried them all, that can compare to such sport is to dig fishing worms from ploughed earth and offer them for sale to the whales in the Alabama River. But In- dian killing is profoundly better. and I have decided to take a Western trip in the course of the next few months bent on that pleasure. Any parties that may care to go may address me at"

 Don't Change Streets Name.
 q hear" said citizen yesterday. "that since the Methodist Woman's College is to be located in Montgom- cry, there is a plan on foot to change the name of Hull Street to College Avenue and right here I want to reg ister my protest against any such change. if there is any real foundation for the report.
 The streets of Montgomery, for the most part, were named years ago on a definite plan. Those running North and South to be named for noted Amer ican admirals and those running East and West to be named for the early Presidents of the United States. The people of Montgomery have become used to locating streets on this plan, and any such proposed plan of chang ing the name of Hull Street would. I am sure. result in some confusion and much grumbling. Let Hull Street re- main Hull Street."
