Mixed Political Situation.

The municipal race is on in earnest in Ensley and will be warm until the election takes place. The announcement that James Dupuy would oppose Mayor Sugg for reelection set the ball to roll ing. for it was believed by many that Mayor Sugg would not have any opposi- ton.
 The contest for aldermen is probably the most mixed up affair that ever oc- cured in Ensley. The majority of can didates on both tickets were warm adyo- cates of prohibition during the recent contest on that proposition and coustder- able opposition has been expressed by members of ooth political factions that have always been against prohibition. Some go so far and declare that they will put out an entirely Independent ticke: for aldermen. An arcent anti-pre- hibltionist declared that out of 20 eandl- dates nominated for aldermen only thres are -prohioitiorists. Although the contest on prohibition has been settled, the men who constitute this movement have made up their mind not to vote for any candidate who was known to have been d AAA Ah6 t@AO ASNN-@N election. W. A. Walker, who was nom- mated py the Equal Rights club for al derman of the Fifth ward has issued the following statement for the consideration of which the league has been called to meet Tuesday evening at p. m. in the Tuxedo Methodist church annex:
 At the time of my nomination by the citizens of the Fifth ward, as a candi- date for alderman, it was stated that MT. Tom Lyle could not make the race if nominated. Since then 1t has devel- oped that MT. Lyle will be able to run for alderman and l desire to withdraw from the race in favor of MT. Lyle. l believe that MT. Lyle is the choice Of the majority of the people of the Fifth Ward and that he will make us a good representative in the City Council of Ensley. l shall give him my most cor dial support and desire that all my friends unite in helping to elect him.

Word has been passed around over the
 state of Mississippi that the national democratic executive committee would like $l subscriptions to the campaign fund and several of the newspapers of the
 state have begun the publication of lists
 of subscribers. So far not one of them has been crowded for space in which to
 print the list, but they all have strong hopes that they are doing a growing bus mess, and that before the campaign for
 the presidency shall have gotton much older the names will have swollen to column-rule lengths.
 It has been urged that, in view of the fact there is no contest in Mississippi
 and that it is as certain to go democrat
 ic as are the Dutch to capture Holland
 there is no need of money for campaign
 purposes at home, and the state could afford to subscribe literally. True, there is hardly a democrat in the state who
 cannot afford to contribute $1 to this cause, but the great majority of them are so very careless and unconcerned
 about elections that are not of special interest to their ward or beat, that they
 will never chip in' unless the hat is stuck directly under their nose.
 The very pleasing information comes from the southern portion of the state that work on the New Orleans Great
 Northern railroad ifs to be resumed at once. General Manager Pearsall has just returned from Buffalo, N. r., where the | owners and directors of the road-the Goodyears and their associates-liye, and has telegraphed the engineering force to get everything in readiness to resume work, and that has been done.
 This means great things for the section l of country through which the road will run, especially between Columbia and Jackson. According to the Columbia pa- pers, the road is practically completed between that point and Covington, La except for the bridge and approaches at Red Bluff, on Pearl river, near that town, and 1t is confidently predicted that trains will be running between Columbia | and New Orleans by the 1st of October

tinction of having designed and superin- tended the construction of the Old Faith ful inn in Yellowstone park, which is the admiration of visitors from all over the world, as the best artificial feature of the park and piece of architecture that would do credit to any locality.
 It is built entirely of pine logs found in Nhe adjacent woods, with the founda- tion of natural boulders and rocks. h. side and out the rustic treatment is car ried out with such uniformity and such good taste that the effect is remarkable.
 MT. Reamer did so we'll with this job that he has been commissioned to de- sign other hotels and improvements for the park, and is now on the ground doing the work.
 Speaking of MT. Reamer's success, prominent professor in one of the south's best universities said:
 ''I don't see why more of our southern boys don't go into architecture, and fol- low the profession not only in the south but go into the north and west. South ern men have more of the natural tenn perament that goes to make up good architect than men of any other portion of the country, and next to the ministry, medicine, the teacher, and possibly the law, I think architecture the greatest profession we have"
 Game in the Yellowstone.
 It would do Game Warden John Wall- aces heart great good to see the way they protect game in the Yellowstone and the rapidity with which 1t is null tiplying under the protective government of the department of the interior.
 AS a result a most ladylike host of bears, deer, and other wild animals have been bred, and one which attract great interest among the visitors. Every hotel has an exhibition squad of bears, who seem to argue whats de use workin' so hard when I can live off'n de white folks yard?' and they come around to a clearing in the rear of each hotel twice a day where food is thrown to them.
 They very seldom show any vicious tendencies, but at each feeding soldier from the United States army detachment is detailed to be on hand with loaded rife to prevent any accidents.
 A woman in one of the private camp ing parties on Yellovtstone lake told me the other day that dhe bears were the plague of her existe4ce, as they made free to go through the tents and eat anything in sight. + seems to be an easy matter to scard them off with broom or whip, but thb lady said 1t made her somewhat nervops to have them wandering through the camp on such familiar terms.

Former Birmingham Man Dead.

Very Rev. H. E. OGrady is in receipt of a letter informing him of the death of Prof B. H. Black at Providence, R. l., about two weeks ago. Professor Black is well known in the Birmingham dis trict and the news of his death will cause sorrow to those who knew him.

 the church, and that year or so ago the church began assigning him and other preachers to the duty of showing visitors through the Mormon grounds and answering any questions regarding their religion which might be asked. Before that time the cub drivers and professional guides did all the explain ing very often to the detriment of the church.
 Mir. LongWorth and Party.
 MT. Nicholas Longworth and wife, Kermit Roosevelt and Miss Robinson, a cousin, of New York; and several others, have been having a great trip through Yellowstone park this week, and at all the park hotels their appearance has created great interest among the hun dreds of visitors that now crowd the nations great playground.
 They made the trip on horseback, and were picturesquely dressed for the out ing. The ladies wore regulation riding brooches, leggins, with long coats hang ing to the knee, western hats etc., and the men were in khaki, mostly.
 Miss Alice was as animated and spirit ed as usual, and entered into the spirit of the trip with zest

state and national committees of the Prohibition
party; a situation perhaps unique in the nation
Has attended all the national conventions but one
for twenty years. Was chairman of the New
York delegation to the celebrated Pittsburg
vention of 1896. He was member of national
Prohibition committee from New York when he
removed to California and has been one of the
two members from California on that committee
during past four years. At present, not engaged
in active business, his main thought and purpose
in life is to promote the cause and party of Pro-
hibition
In business circles his name is the synonym for
integrity enterprise and efficiency. He is an able
organizer and tried executive. His is charm
ing personality, and he has hosts of friends. He
is we'll informed on all phases of the Prohibition
question: and his speeches are masterpieces of
cear-cut logic expressed in direct, forceful Ian
guage, and with calm and convincing delivery.
Mr.. Wheeers friends believe he is exception
ally we'll fitted to be the Prohibition Presiden-
tial nominee, and to lead the party in vigorous
and winning campaign.
A tentative organization to this end has al
ready been formed in Southern California

PROGRESS AT LOUISVILLE
How Party Work Has Prospered in Kentucky's
Fifth District

LOUISVILLE, KY, January 18-(Specal corre-
spondence)-Mr H. w. Davis the Prohibition
worker who has been in charge of the party in
terests in the Fifth Congressional district in this
state, which comprises Louisville and Jefferson
county, has just made his annual report to the
Prohibition executive committee
Mr.. Davis report shows vast amount of work
done during the year. Three prominent speak
ers have been in the district for extended cam
paigns. During January and February, 1907,
Michael ]. Tanning addressed twenty-seven meet
ings, reaching largely church people, members of
some seventy-five congregations. In September
H. S. Bonsib of Indiana began work in the dis
trict, continuing until we'll in November, reaching
large number of people and doing highly eff
fective service During October the Rev. L. L.
Pickett, the Prohibition candidate for governor,
campaigned in the district filling appointments
arranged by Mr. Davis in shops, factories and
churches.
In addition to this Mr.. Davis has circulated a
mass of literature and has attended in detail to
the almost innumerable items of party work.
A large part of the results of this effort must
be looked for in the future but the present
achievements are gratifying. The vote in the
district was increased 81 percent; the vote in
1908 for Demaree, the Prohibition candidate for
governor, having been 191 and for Pickett in the
last election reaching 346. There is, of course,
reason to believe that the actual vote was much
larger, but was ignored and counted out by hos
tile and indifferent officials
Mr.. Davis reports that he considers the pros
pect for work in the future very bright.
