Observed in Tnlladega on sunday--Cen.
 Mm. C. Oates the Orator.
 ., The Talladega Mountain Home pub exercises held in that city last Sunday and of the orator of the occasion says: Gen: Wm. e; Oates, distinguished C0d9federate s0d soldier ex-congressman troduced as the orator of the day. AS the old patriot stepped forward. grey with the frost of many honored years displaying. an a=mless sleeve that was the price he pald at Getty ysburs, there was q great burst of applause. Gen eral oates said he was glad the ladies CT Talladega had observed Memorial Day or' Sunday. Some places failed to observe the day on the proper date be- cause 1t fell on the Sabbath, but next to the celebration of the Christian re- ligion comes the celebration of the memory of our honored dead. Unless there was a nlisconception of the mean ing of the occasion, he could see no objection to observing 1t on the Sab- bath. Talladega has led the way and he Tas sure other places would follow. general line of Memorial Day oratory, and while extolling the virtues of the Confederate soldiers and statesmen, did their errors. There were some very gross errors in the civil administration of the Confsderacy. President Davis's order to Beauregard to fire on Fort SuulpI0T ana thus preClpltdtlnS the war cost the South the support Of thous- ands in the North who were opposed to the Federal policy of coercion. Yancey, who was sent as minister to England to talk the justness of slavery. should have been supplanted by a business man who could have told John Bull of the advantages of twenty five years free trade in the South and thus, gained English support.
 The, Confederate Congress made the mistake of not making soldiers of the negroes. By giving every negro his freedom and eighty acres of public land for serving as a soldier, the Souths strength would have been in- calculably increased and the horrors Of reconstruction would never have ex- isted.

He paid a glowing tribute to the women of the Confederacy and said while he yet lived, he wanted to con tribute of his means to erect one of the tallest shafts in the memory of any one to the women of the Confed- eracy.

EVERYTHING SATISFACTORY.

The meeting of stockholders of the State Fair Association on Wednesday night after full report from a. special committee and a report from Mir. Har- aIson. an expert accountant, adopted the following resolution offered by Mir. F. H. Miller:
 Resolved. That the Alabama Agri- cultural Association is satisfied from the report of the special committee, that the management of the 1908 and dicating intentional mismanagement, and that they regret that any errors in the report of Auditor Cole should have led the public to entertain such .ran idea. e.a ., 2 The report of Mir. Cole was made last January and published in The .Adver- tiser. InAsmuch as the names of Messrs. L. B. Whitfield, Jesse c. Adams and R. o. Blakey were mentioned in MT. Coles report it Is due to these gentlemen that 1t should be stated that the action of the stockholders is a vindication of their action. The Ad- vertlssr published Mir. Coles report made to a meeting of those interested in the Fair Association and with no intention of doing anyone injustice We are glad to be able to publish the above resolution which vindicates the gentlemen named.

HOT TIMES IN GEORGIA.

If yesterdays temperature could be kept up in Georgia until the 5th of June it would be a great relief to the people of that State. They are just now in the throes of a hot campaign for governor and it promises to grow in intensity day by day
 The majority for Governor Hoke Smith two years ago was SO great that it was thought no one would have the temertty to oppose his reelection. There were four candidates for the nomination in 1906, and although his opponents were well known and popu- lar men his vote was greater than that of the combined votes of the others. The convention which followed the primary was completely under his con trol and the platform of demands was In strict accord with his orders and wishes.
 The Governors term in Georgia is for two years and not since 1877 has the reelection of an incumbent been contested. It has. therefore, been vir- tually a term of four years. This year however. that record Is broken and Governor Smith has opposition of the strongest kind. At the outset he pro- claimed that he would not make much of canvass and was disposed to treat with contempt and rtdicule the can. didaey of Mr. Joseph M Brown. He
