 "A Democratic congressman down in Southwestern Missouri felt that they needed little protection for zinc and is in favor of zinc against Mexico. but for free trade in everything else I think you ought to come over to the party that Is in favor of distributing the favors of protection all over the country In order to maintain all the industries of the country. as they have been maintained on the system of pro- lection.
 There are a great many men in the South and doubtless many within the sound of my voice, who are strictly Democrats. They are to be divided Into three classes.
 The first class are going to vote for me. The second class are not going to vote at all. and the third class are going to vote for my opponent and hope that I will be elected. think my friends. that you know as I know that Is a fair statement.

HISTORY IS
 CIRCULATING Prof. DuBose's Work
 In Print. CURRENT EVENTS EMPHASIZED Eight Pages to Gov. Conner and Ten
 to All Others. Pays Present Administration Great Compliment--History Divided Into Five Periods--Literary
 Section.

pr. Thomas M. Owen, Director of the Department of Archives and History. was the first person in Montgomery to glimpse at DuBose's History of Ala bama, in printed form. A specimen of neat binding and containing 337 pages of composition. was received in this Department Friday with short note from Joel c. DuBose, the author, stat ing that the hrSt thousand copies of the book would be out of the publish . ing house this week.
 Professor DuBose the author, Is an Alabamian and has taught school for a number of years in this State. a profession that he is now pursuing.
 Perhaps the feature of the history as compared with previous efforts of this character Is the up-to-dateness of the book. It Is considered as up-to-date in many ways, It brings men and events right up to now. Part of it's composition was made after 1t was first presented to the Text Book Commission for the adoption of that body. 1t was written all during the current year.
 The book was adopted by the State Text.Hoo Commission. The Governor not only appointed the Commission. n. but he was the head Of 1t. There were a number of differences in the Com nllssion,. but the Governors side al- ways wins.
 As an illustration of the books dis- position to accent history as it is being made as we'll as 1t was made, there are eight pages towards the close fol- lowing Governor B. B. Conner from

ASK PREFERENTIAL
SOUTHERN EXPRESS WANTS sER- VICE ON TOMBIGBEE VALLEY
Railroad Commission President HeA- derson Receives Petition --An- dalusia Enjoys Switch
 ing Facilities AS
 Asked For.

President Charles Henderson was the only member of the Railroad Com mission of Alabama present Friday when that body was supposed to have assembled on special cali. However, 1t was found unnecessary for the other members to have attended, because the two cases that were to be consid- cred were submitted anyhow and they will not be passed on until the papers are gone over.
 J. H. Marvin, superintendent of the Southern Express Company, appeared in behalf of that corporation in a pes tition that they be allowed preferen. tial on the Tombigbee Valley Railroad over the Commission made rates. Mir. Marvin came down from Chattanooga to present his petition in person.
 It was represented to President Henderson that the Southern Express desires to put in a line of service on the road mentioned. An obstacle wa encountered to start with and this was the fact that on some commodi- ties for certain hauls the express rates promulgated by the Commission are lower than the freight charges of the Tombigbee tariff. It Is asked. therefore, that a preferential be allowed to cover such difference in order to put in the service right away
 The figures of Mir. Marvin were sub- mitted and the Commission will an nounce their decision in a few days.
 Notice was received that the Louis vile and Nashville and the Central of Georgia. both of which enter Anda- lusia. have already put in the switch ing facilities at that point. This will obviate hearing on this long-dis- puted point. No longer will there be any transfer charges on freight at that Junction.
 On account of the next meeting falling on Monday. November 2. 1t was announced Friday that the Comn1is- sion will assemble November in- stead which is not so close to the gen. eral election.
