Tuscumbia AlabanEan.
 Reports from the primary election held in Tennessee last Saturday indi- cate the noInlnation of M R Patterson mack of about 1000 majority. It was a hard fought battle. and we believe that carmack would have won over Patterson. but for the fact, he was an oJitspoken railroad refornaer. Carmack received d much larger vote on account of having the support of the prohibi- tlonists but the people in Tennessee as they are in Georgia and Alabama. have had enou gh of Artl-railread legislation. The people being 50 thoroughly dls- gusted with fanatic legisfation, that they will resort to almost anything, sacrificing every other cause to defeat nor and the people shoula be satisfied,

Chinese Education.


 It is stated in a dispatch from Pekin that the government of China is fram- ing a plan for the education of a mum Der of Chinese boys in America but the precaution Is to be taken to ground them thoroughly in Confucianism. Coufucianism is chiefly devoted to ex- tolling the merits and wisdom of the ancients and does not seem like a very usefel foundation upon which to rear a superstructure of modern learning, but the latter has qualified which can successfully cope even with "the dead hand of the past" and If the youthful Chinese are thoroughly drilled in the useless parts of the teachings on Con- fucius will be completely eliminated from their minds.

We think it almost impertinent in the Republicans to talk about MT. Bryan's talk habit" when they have the example of their President con- stantIy before them.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-07-06

The persistent charge put forth by some of the most ardent followers of Mr. Bryan that Judge Parker "is try ing to disrupt the Democratic party" comes about as near the limit of im- pudencs as anything we have seen.

Orchard, under sentence of death in
Idaho as the self confessed murderer
of former Governor Steunenberg, will
appear as the chief prosecuting wit
ness against Steve Adams at Tellur-
ide in May. where Adams is to be
tried in connection with the mysteri-
Gus disappearance of a man named
Barney during the riots of 1902.
To bring Orchard here as wit
ness it will be necessary for the
Idaho board of pardons to commute
the sentence of death to one of life
Imprisonment, and word has been re-
ceived in this city from a reliable
source that such action will be taken
in due time.

Will NOT POST
USUAL DIVIDEND

Shareholders of the Nevada Hills
Mining company will receive no divi-
dend checks this month. Although no
official action has been taken in the
matter. because of the inability to
get a quorum together, it was stated
today by a person in position to
know that the directors are a unit
in favor of suspending dividend pay
ments for time. 1t may be several
months before another distribution
will be made; not because of any
inability of the company to share
profits with its stockholders, but
because it has lot of improvements
in contemplation which will require
the expenditure of considerable
money. Therefore, as matter of
good business judgment it may be
policy to postpone dividend payments
until later in the year.
President Windsor v. Rice is au-
thority for the statement that the
company will build a mill. In fact,
this has, been the intention of the
company for some time, and 1t is

DANES MAKE WAR
ON The M0RMONS

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March
26.-Rough and tumble fighting pre-
walls between the Mormons. who
lately came to Denmark, and the
farmers among whom they are at
tempting to carry on PROSECUTING
work. When company of Mormon
priests arrived a short time ago they
announced a great campaign to re-
vive Mormonism in this country,
where the cause is rapidly dying out.
Almost Immediately big meeting
was held which was attended by vio-
lent disorder, ending in fist fight.
Nevertheless the newcomers per-
sisted in holding more or less private
meetings in many places. Finally
the country population where the
movement was prosecuted with the
most vigor, organized regular OPP
position, storming meetings and per-
gsonally assailing the preachers, sew
eral of whom have been forcibly
elected from halls and compelled to
flee for their lives. The only thing
left for the Mormons to do is to de-
part.
