Barbecue Giuen by the Elks

ble in the conduct of the barbecue. They with the members of their special committees had gotten together an trn- mense quantity of the most delicious things to eat and drink. They had en- gagged an orchestra to make music for the people to talk and dance by. And had done everything else that would make for a pleasant time.
 There were hundreds of persons present Besides the Elks who were there in full numbers. as 1t is said in Cicero's book of after-dinner roasts of the Catiline, there were their guests. All of them ate a delicious breakfast served at Ii o'clock and then . won derfui barbecue at 3 o'clock. The way in which the feasts were served was at once e gentle reminder of home and q warning that domestic restraint had been unable to catch the car. While there were many things offered that Mittie Mays Momner had never served in her own twelve-by-fiftee dining room. the tables on which the food was served were decorated with ex- ouisite care. The tables. as well as the hall in which they were set. were ornate with various thinsg of beauty. On the tables were vases of roses. lilies, carnations and giadeolas. At each place the napkin was daintly dec- orated with the insignia of Elkdom, and from the walls were hung festoons of the Elks' colors. purple and white.
 In the language of Little Peterkin's erandpapa, It was a famous victory.
 They say 1t is going to happen again next year. too.

THOMAS MAY RUN
A PROBABLE CANDIDATE FOR
 LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
Was President Pro Tenn of Last State Senate--Friends Have Been Urging Barbour Senator
 10 AnnQunce.

Senator Perry Thomas, of Barbour County, may be a candidate for Lieu tenant Governor in the next Demo- cratic primary. Friends of Senator Thomas indicated last night that they had discussed the matter with nim and he had it under advisement.
 Former Senator T, s. Frazer, of Un- ion Springs. who passed through Montgomery last night from the re- union in Birmingham, speaking as friend of Senator Thomas. declared that the Barbour County Senator had been voluntarily pledged strong sup port and that because of these oners Senator Thomas was seriously consid- ering entering the race at the proper time. The name of Senator Frazer has also been mentioned in connection with the office of Lieutenant Governor. He said last night. however, that 1T Sem ator Thomas should run, that he would not be in the race. but that he would be one of the strongest supporters or the Barbour Senator.
 q was gratified at the many fav- orable expressions which greeted the mention of Senator Thomas probable candidacy in Birmingham" said Sen- ator Frazer. "He feels that the mat ter is new and that there will be ann pie time for a final decision. but he is considering the important step and l believe that in view of the sentiment that exists for him in the State. he will make the race and not only make it. but win"
 Senator Thomas has represented Bar bour County four years in the State Senate He had the seat that was for merly held by Governor William D. Jelks. In his first term he was the recognized supporter of Governor Jelks in the Senate in working out the financial plans which distinguish ed the Jelks administration and which left the big surplus in the State Treasury. In the last senate ne was a strong advocate of railroad rate leg islation. He supported all the plat form measures. but toward the close of the session he differed with the more radical regulators and opposed number of the acts, which he thought destructive of the States prosperity. Senator Thomas. during these debates. was recognized authority on the con- stitution and his opposition to the more radical acts were that they in themselves defeated the very purposes for which they were aimed, because they went so far as to be unconsti- tutional. He strove for regulation through a milder policy because he declared the courts would hold that the more radical acts went beyond the constitution.
 The court decisions have confirmed this position. It is an interesting fact that most of the acts which he op- posed because they went so far as to be unconstitutional. have since been declared unconstitutional by the courts in the costly litigation in which the State is involved.
 Senator Thomas is yet young man He is regarded as one of the most elo- quent speakers in the State. His asso- ciates in the Legislature have given him credit for possessing practical and sound Judgment. He was honored with the ofice of President Pro rem of the last Senate.

 They came back, as they went to Birmingham, full of patriotic spirit and personal curiosity. Only they were all rather weary. That might have been expected. They had done much. seen more. said. perhaps, most.
 But they were all delighted with their short stay there. and their travels back. They had been somewhat crowd- ed on the cars and in the hotels but their discomforts had not been sufh- cient to outweigh their gratincation at seeing the old soldiers and hearing them give the rebel yell, at hearing the bands and seeing the crowds, and the waving banners. That especially for the Veterans; they seemed once more to be at the onslaught, to smell the smoke of battle. to feel Its choking dust in their nostrils. and to hear the turnuit and the shouting. They lived again through long nights of vigil, through conflict and wearinsss of forced marches.
 But that was all in Birmingham.
 Here in Montgomery they either got off the cars. as their trains arrived at the railway station and went to their homes. if they lived here; or got of
