Madison Senator Thinks Governor Act
 ed With Haste.

ed Wttn 1taSles
 Huntsville, June 22.-(Special) )-Sen- a+or Robert E. Spragins of Madison county. has expressed himself on the Senatorial question in Alabama. by stating his belief that the Legislature was not bound by the senatorial pri- mary to elect Bankhead as Senator Nor gan's successor.
 The primary for alternate Senator, he helteves, was provided only to govern the appointment of the Governor of the state in the event that a vacancy oc- curred while the Legislature was not in session. Senator Spragins claims that the Legislature is now in session and this being true. Governor Conner had no right to appoint Colonel Bank head to Senator Morgan's seat tempor- arily.
 Relative to what he will do, Senator snragins says he Is free to vote for the hest man who offers for the position and he does not see that he is bound in his choice by the senatorial primary. Bankhead received his vote in the pri- mary but Senator Spragins does not feel obligated to vote for him in the Legislature. o,..
 Representative Kirby believes Gov ernor Conner has done his full duty by annointing Bankhead. He faEors the election of a North Alabama man above all others and he believes that the comer forces will center on one and select him.

A PAPER OF PINS.

Pins were introduced In the six

Then they were costly and highly
priced rs gifts.
A paper Of pins was more acceptable
than bouquet.
An net was passed I'm 1913 making 1t
illegal TO charge more than elghtpence
a thousand Tor metal pins.
Persons of quality often used pins
made OF lockwood, bone and silver,
while the poor put up with wooden
skcwers.
In those day husbands were often
surprised at the great amount of mon
ey that went for pins; hence the term
pin money"
