Not Holding Their Cotton.

SeeIma JOUrnaI.
 Despite the fact that Farmers Unions are prating for fifteen cent cotton, and that Association Warehouses in many parts of the South are stacked with the heecy staple which is being held for higher price. there is no evidence of cotton being held in Selma where the price received at present.
 Tn Montgomery there are over 16- 900 bales of cotton stored in ware houses. where 1t is held for a rise in spots. This cotton was placed for 1? cents. and the owners desired :. Now cotton is 10 or less. and the holding represent a loss of nearly $1600 000 The same condition pre- vails in many cities where there are Unions and Associations.
 In Selma it is different. There is very little cotton being held here at houses about this city amounts to

If straw ballots on railway trains count for anything as an indication of popular sentiment Georgia seems to have taken up the candidacy of Joe Brown with a will. A day or two ago The Macon Telegraph published the results of seventeen of the test votes. and the total shows SEQ for Brown and 21s for Smith. or nearly four to one. Of course, this may not be con- vincing evidence of popular sentiment in Georgia. but it is at least signih- cant.

The Oregon election takes place in June and along with other officers Con gressmen will be chosen. It is one Of the two or three States which have not changed their election laws so as to conform with the others and elect Congressman in November. Anoth CT peculiar feature is the probability of the Democrats electing the United States Senator even if the Legislature should be Republican. It is due to some State laws under which the Leg islature would have to choose the can didate for Senator receiving a certain proportion of the popular vote
 It is a curious election and will be watched with interest throughout the country.

Letter to, The Editor
MT. Rushto nRetiren.

Luverne. April IS, 1908. Editor The Advertiser:
 Sometime ago l announced myself as a candidate for Presidential-elector from the Second Congressional Dis trict and qualified as such--notice of which appeared in your valuable paper. but since then have become convinced from investigation that I am not elig- ible to hold the office of Presidential elector on account of being a member of the Legislature, and for that reason only I have withdrawn from the race. I would deem it great honor to be an elector of my party and to have the pleasure of casting a vote as such, but for the. reason stated, I am no longer a candidate and I take this method of giving notice of the same and of thanking my friends who have so gen. erouslX promised me their support.
 Yours truly,

WILL CHANGE NAME OF
OCEAN PARK TO VENICE
City Attorney Is Instructed to Begin
Proceedings to Effect Alteration.
Trustees Transact Other
Business

OCEAN PARK, Nov. "a petition
containing names of 100 property hold
ers and 25S voters of Ocean Park was
presented to the board of trustees at
their regular meeting this evening, re-
questing immediate action be taken to
change the name of the city to Venice.
The city attorney was instructed to
begin proceedings in the superior court
to effect the change.
The Abbot Kinney company and A.
f. Webster entered protest against
the way in which the work on Lake
street was being done.
In the matter of the Improvement of
Paloma avenue the attention of the
trustees was called to the fact the
streets between the Trolley way and
the ocean front were dedicated for forty
feet and stated he did not see how they
could order street improvements for
any width less than that. Abbot Kin
nev stated he did not think the city
would be relinquishing any of its rights
to the full width of the streets in ques-
ton if a twelve-foot walk was put in
the center and the property owners per-
mitted to make lawns on the balance.
1t was decided to proceed with the i'm
provement in the latter way, cutting
off all traffic on the street.
A committee of city officials reported
they had inspected the roadbed of the
Los Angeles-P Pacific railroad, and found
1t was in very dilapidated condition
and the complaints of property holders
along the right of way We're justifable.
The Los Angeles-Pacific Railroad
company was granted a franchise for
forty years for a track on Lorelei ave-
nue.. connecting their main line with the
Venice breakwater.

1.-THE CRIMINAL" is SAID TO
BE FULL OF FINE STUFF

Police department methods in the in
vestigation of a murder case are de-
picted in 1.-THE Criminal" a protean
playlet which heads the bill at the Los
Angeles theater this week. The scene
is laid in the office of the chief of de-
tectiYes, before whom are brought, one
at a time, witnesses who are ''sweated'
in an effort to get at the truth of the
matter. Rutland Vests first appear
ance is made as a newspaper man.
Later he is seen successfully as an OLD
and decrepit college professor, as
newsboy, a Jew pawnbroker and as the
murderer. His acting is very good and
his changes are made with a rapidity
that is most surprising. incidentally
there is a rough and tumble fight be-
tween the murderer and a policeman
that is accomplished with startling
realism.
Louis Chevalier and company present
an amusing farcical playlet, "A Lucky
Liar" in which Mr. Chevalier is ably
supported by Miss Myrtle Leavitt and
Miss Virginia Wade. The curtain rises
on "the morning after the night be-
fore" with CheValier as the victim of
head and a suspicious wife. Other new
comers to the program are the McLinn
brothers, horizontal bar performers;
Grace Leonard, who wears boys clothes
and sings very like a girl, and Sakato,
a japanese foot juggler. Sam Holds
worth sings a picture ballad, and mo-
tion pictures complete the bill.
