for the covernorship-srewer and

Daily News Special.
y jackson. Miss, August 2S.-The
withdrawal of Hon. w. Shed Hill, from
the congressional race in the Fourth
District, leaves Hon. T. U. Sisson
alone with a sure thing. and has set
afioat q world of speculation among
the politicians of the state.
BY assuring him a seat in congress,
1t eliminates Mr.. Sisson from the next
gubernatorial election, where his
friends had insisted he would be, al
though there are some who still be-
lieve he will get in that race when
the time comes, in spite Of the fact
that the congressional job pays $4,000
more money than that Of holding down
the executive Office.
While the friends of Mr.. Hill here af-
feet to believe that his withdrawal was
for the purpose Of beginning early a
campaign for, the United States sena-
torship,. the more general impression
prevails that he realized that he would
be unable to defeat Mr.. Sisson, who
had a lead OF 400 votes to begin with.
There are so many gubernatorial
possibilities now that speculation thus
early would be almost foolish, but it
might be stated with a good deal of
assurance that Hon. Chas. Scott, Of
Rosedale and Hon. Earl Brewer, Of
Clarksdale will be in the race.

INSURANCE COMPANIES

Jackson, August 2S.-The case of
several fire insurance companies
against the Illinois Central Railroad
company, in which the taking of de-
positions was commenced in the coun-
ty court house yesterday. bids fair to
last several weeks. Only few Of the
four hundred witnesses in the case
were examined yesterday and still
smaller number this morning. The
plan is to summons only few witness
ses for each day, SO that there will be
as little idle waiting on the part Of
witnesses as possible. which will mean
saving of good deal of money in
witness fees.
The case involves nearly $4,000,
growing out of the big fire which des-

Chamber of Commerce Building

It is often said it is not easy to keep a good man down, and it might also be said that fire cannot readily keep good corner vacant. This is exempli- fled in the Chalifoux corner, which is to become the home of the new Cham Der of Commerce, which Greater Bir- mingham will, no doubt, proceed to organize.
 President John L. Raul of the Con- mercial club is plainly no standpattef. He believes in progress, and he will have rendered his service at the head of the districts chief commercial or ganization memorable if he succeeds in putting up a seven-story Chamber of Commerce building. Doubtless success will speedily crown his efforts. The enterprise is one of the finest that has been proposed in city full of big enterprises. The times and the man have met. They are both suspicious. The proposed building can be erected at cost 25 per cent below the figures of a year ago, and John l.. sKaul is the man to carry the work to completion
 The proposed fuiiding is additional evidence that this city and this dis trict no longer feel the weight of hard times-that all here know that our de- posits of fuel and iron ore will, aided by the Steel corporation, soon bring back activity and prosperity, no matter how things may stand else where. No one, for example, can visit Ensley without becoming convinced that no depression can keep this dis trict down. It is already on it's feet at worK laying the foundations for an- other long period of prosperity This is why slyscrapers are going up and the Chalifoux corner is to be filled with handsome semi-public building.

BIRMINGHAM,s ACHIEVEMENT.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The way in which Birmingham enter tained the Confederate Veterans during the reunion reflects credit on the state of Alabama. They were admirably enter tained.
 The whole of Birmingham manifested a solicitous interest in the old soldiers and especially so in those unfortunate old veterans who, after reaching Bir- mingham, were unable to pay their own way The arrangement for the entertain ment of this class of soldiers left nothing to be desired. All had been planned and prepared for them in advance. There was no occasion for any of them to spend cent after they reached Birmingham.
 The value of this kindness was doubled by it's method of bestowal. The old sol diers were made to feel that they were conferring a favor by accepting the hos pitality of their friends. To them went every courtesy that goes to an honored guest. They were made to feel that they were in their brothers house and what they saw was theirs, without the ask ing.
 No less fine was the courtesy that was extended the more prominent veterans and those who had fared better in world way They were made to feel that the door was indeed open and the hand out stretched. There was a manifested es- fort and it was not without success to combat the growing tendency at reunions to bring forward the young people to the exclusion of the old soldiers. This was expected and 1t was combatted by an in- telligent preparation for the comfort and satisfaction of the old soldier.
 The success of Birmingham's splendid effort at entertainment was attributed to one thing: The whole city made the re- union a personal matter. The city re- garded itself as partly responsible for the occasion and for the entertainment of the veterans. It was each mans bus mess to help.
 Birmingham has an achievement to it's credit of which 1t may be proud in future years.
