 AS the winds from a high" always blow as the hands of a clock move to- wards the low this section of the coun- try got the winds from the high that was over the New England States. The low was enough of a storm center to bring the rains. hence the two condi- tions which are seldom found together brought on the change in the old time sign.
 This low was rapidly moving away late last night and the Thigh" from the north west was coming in fast. Owing to this 1t Is expected that there will be cooler, fair weather today.

Many of the older inhabitants of Montgomery who are wont to watch the old time signs about the weather were in a dilemms yesterday. It was raining and at the same time the wind was in the northwest. Those are two weather signs sd frequently observed here. According to the prophets the wind should have been in the south east or some other direction, neverthe- less 1t was raining and hard. too. and the wind came from the other direc- tion.
 IJEually the old sign of south west winds bring rain" is true, and it was only because of a peculiar condition of affairs yesterday that changed the pro- gram a little. This change was that there was low baronaetric pressure over the Great Lakes and one on the Gulf directly opposite. There was a

says Nrisslssippiau Would Be Defeated Ger President But His Campaign Weuld Be of EverlnSs-

Advertiser Bureau,

AafCfliboT SuEE00g Selma, Jan, 6. Tn his address before the Commercial and Industrial Association this morning Hon. George w. Taylor, of the First District q member of the Compression. al Rivers and Harbors Committee. said he wanted to see Southern man nom- mated on the Democratic platform for the Presidency.
 He said Of late there had been quite . lot about nominating a southerner and he had reason for making the assertion. He had given this question some thought. he said that the present time would be the most opportuue for such an event and that he had also selected a Southern Democrat. Mir. Taylor said no Southern Demo.
 crat' had the slightest show for the of- flee Of President at present but by the nomination of a Southern Democrat and running him that in years to come 1t would prove of great benefit
 to the South and to the Democracy. The North would learn a lesson by it which would ever come before them. and the South would also be benefited
 most materially, politically and other. wise by a Southerner being nominated
 for the highest ofiaee in the gift of the
 people.
 He did not think that the Democratic
 party had much of a chance in the COtniHB pFeSiuenttht electlon ana TOT
 that reason thought that the present
 was the most opportune time in which to try the experience as Democracy
 would lose nothing by doing it.
 Mir. Taylor said he had found the man. prominent Southern Democrat,
 who would lose nothing by it. This
 man, he said, was John Sharp VII. Hams. the minority leader in the House. He said Mfr. Williams had lately been elected to the Senate, but that he
 would not take his seat for two years; that his time in Congress would soon be up. Between them there would in-
 tervene q period of two years and by
 having that time Mir. Williams would
 lose nothing by being nominated by the Democratic Party and making the race fer the Presidency.
 Mfr. Taylor further said that just
 before he left washington he had made known his ideas to Mr. Williams and
 that he had iaughingiy agreed with him that 1t would be the best thing
 for Democracy, but he had not said whether he would be willing to be
 sacrificed upon the altar.
