What the State Papers
Are Saying and Doing

Make II Six.
Bav Minette Times.
One of our State papers remarks that
Alabama has five living ex-Governors,
and names them. Right you are. but
what Alabama is needing most just
now is the sixth = ex-governor < &
What Keeps Farmers Poor.
Cullman Democrat.
There is enough corn. oats. hay and
meat shipped to this county IN five
no doubt that properly educated agri-
cultutists could solve this problem and
stop this great and constant drain on
our money y Y "
Law and Humanity.
Mobile Item.
Sending men to prison for debt pay
ing purposes may be legally correct so
far as court costs and fines are con-
cerned. but 1t looks very much like
legal bubble in violation of a very
pronounced Fundamental principle.
Eyes Turned to Tennessee valley.
Huntsville Tribune.
The Harvesting of the great water
powers in the Tennessee river at Mus
Gle Shoals. the building of new rail;
roads. both steam and electric, and
the development of our natural gas
nelds has turned the eyes of the world
on the beautiful Tennessee volley, with
both capital and population.
q Il u
Democrats Should Get Together.
Marion County News.
While the Republican party seems
to be torn up considerably by dissen-
sions in Ohio and New York they have
a way of getting together just before

but he generally votes the ticket

Who In the Other Fellows
Fayette Banner.
An eminent commander lays down
as one of the most important rules of
military strategy the policy. first of
finding out what the other fellow
wants you to do, and second, of doing
the exact opposite. Evidently the Ala
bama Legislature acted in accordance
with this rule in most Instances dur
ing the recent session.
1t should Pass.
Samson Ledger. 49,.
Legislature that deserves passage. 1t
places a license on pistol toters and
makes those carrying one wear
badge telling the public they are
officers. We trust the measure will
be enacted and every offender carried
before the courts receive a hard labor
SENTENCE.
A Law That 10 Much Needed.
Russell Register.
The Montgomery Advertiser Is ad-
vocating a law that will be more eff
fective in preventing people from car
rying concealed weapons in this State.
II is to be hoped that such a law will
be enacted. 1t is very much needed.
Human life is far too cheap, and the
cowardly practice of carrying a pistol
concealed is in a very large measure
responsible for the cheapness.
e 81 Sc
From Some Other County.
Moulton Advertiser.
The Montgomery Advertiser has un-
NAL in the hills of Colorado and we
presume Ii was the only one of the
kind that ever existed. 1t IS called a
Diplodocus-- a neck nineteen feet
long. a body seVenty-five feet long
and tail eleven feet. The Adverti-
ser is trying to pump life back into
the dry bones again, so the animal can
get up and run for the Legislature
from Montgomery county.
Is .e q
PrOhibitlve Tax.
DadevilIe Courier.
Much is being said Just now of the
tax put upon foreign money lenders
who wish to do business in Alabama.
This tax law is wrong in principle
and works a hardship on the very
class Of men who of all men need pro-
lection. the borrower of money. The
tax was intended Ostensibly. To be
placed upon foreign lenders, but as in
all other transactions the borrower or
purchaser has the cost to pay.
