an object both of national and of state legislation.
 We are opposed to any legislation by the state, the intent and purpose of which is to prevent any person or cor poration from resorting to any of the courts of the land to secure an ad- Indication of their rights.
 We deem it expedient and just that the state of Alabama give aid liberal- ly to the indigent veterans of the Con- federate army and navy We rejoice in acknowledging the debt that the Amer ican people owe to our Titanic PresI- dent.
 By breadth of vision and energy in action, by stupendous tasks accom- plished, by understanding of the na- tional problems that still remain and the courage to work out their correct solutions. by the power of high charac- ter to conserve all that Is good in our government. the present Secretary of War, William H. Taft Is marked out as the fittest successor to President Roosevelt. We heartily advise his nom- nation by the approaching national convention, and instruct our delegates for the state-at-large to vote for him and continue to vote for him until he is nominated.
 This convention records it's unqual- flied approval of the able and consist- ent ministration of Hon. Joseph O. Thompson, as chairman of the state executive committee. during the past four years, the term for which he was elected.
 Mason Resolution Comes Up.
 A. N. Johnson, colored, of Mobile made a speech in the interest of the Mason resolution. He stated that no attempt was made to force the whites to ride in the same car with. the blacks but they were fighting for the intrinsic value of the United States coin, to give the negroes as good &C., commodation for S1 as is given to the white man. The resolution then passed.
 A word war arose between Delegates Kennemar and Wimbs over Wimbs' un- successful attempt to get the eonyen- tion to register a kick against the "disfranchsement of the negro" by the registrars of the state. MT. Kennemar insisted that Wimbs' remarks would have been more appropriate when he was stumping the state indorsing the constitution of Alabama" Tom Dim- mick's report on nominations was adopted as given above.
 After the fight over the executive committee appointments had been see- tied the election of delegates came up. A minority report of the committee substituted the name of U. G. Mason, colored, for N. H. Alexander colored, but Mason gracefully withdrew. Whsn he took the floor he was greeted with loud cheers. After adopting resolu- tons indorsing the past actions of the party leaders and thanks for the res ception the convention adjourned.

Morris Mande's Engagement.

Much interest is centered in the ap- pearanee of Morris Mandel at the Jeffer- son theatre tonight in 'The Russian Ole- gam Yiddish play in four acts. AL ready the seat sale has been unusually good and the indications that a repre- sentative audience will be present when the curtain goes up. The seat 1le has not been confined to the Jewish people alone, but many persons who do not un- derstand the Yiddish language will be present as the play is one which Is in- terpreted largely by the acting. This is the case of Frencn opera which appeals to everyone who goes to New Orleans. MT. Mandel brings his original New York company, as well all the scenery, sta~a> settings, costumes etc, used in tlN Gotham presentation. "The Russian Oe- gan" was selected for this city according to a popular demand.

SHRINERS TO HAVE
 PARADE TOMORROW
Large Class of Candidates Will Cross Hot Sands Tomorrow.
 Night.

Zamora temple, Ancient Arabic order, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. will have a big time in Birmingham tomorrow A large class of candidates will be conduct ed across the hot sands in the hall to- morrow night, but the most interesting feature to the general public will be the parade during the afternoon, in which the candidates will be lead through the streets by ropes and surrounded by all the para phernalia, which will impress upon them the direful ordeal they are to undergo later in the evening.
 For instance, the parade will not only contain two bands of music and the nobles in full regalia, but there will be water wagons, hot pitch wagons, patrol wagons and every other sort of imple- nent of torture. It Is even hoped to bring in big slag pot to assist in heating the sand over which the victims are to travel.
 Some few weeks ago the Shriners ar ranged a big parade which was inter- fered with by the weather, and It is hoped tomorrow to make up for the pleasure and interest lost in the previous event.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bijou.

Around the Clock seems to have struck a popular note at the Bijou thea tre this week. The Ritchie London Com edy company makes the most of the op- portunties afforded by the piece. Billie Ritehie takes the principal comedy role and he introduces a number of clever skits which never fail to win applause. He is especially good at pantomme. In the last act a funny burlesque of a night in a London music hall is put on with all the details of a theatre withi.' a theatre. This feature is full of rapid-fire comedy. There will be a matinee this afternoon and performance tonight.

REGATTA
AUSP|C|OUS EVENT

of people, bids fair to be the largest
in years. The fleet which took part
in the Mobile affair is going to par
ticipate in the Gulfport event also.
The shippers of yachts and racing ma
chnes from distant points are laying
over at coast points, some at Bay st.
Louis, others at Pass Christian and
Biloxi and still others in this city
awaiting the coming of the final day.
Attendance from New Orleans.
Speaking of this occasion, the
Times-Democrat in its issue OF Wednes-
day July Sth says: 1.-The yachts are
beginning to get in line for the Gulf
port regatta of the Southern Gulf
Coast Yachting Association, which is
to be held there next Saturday. 1t is
expected that there will be larger
representation from New Orleans at
Gulfport than at Mobile inasmuch as
practically all the boats that partici-
pated in the regatta last week, most
of which are now at Gulfport will be
on hand to take part in next Satur-
days event, and several others are
entered in addition to these"
| From the account of the Times-Dem-
ocrat, it is evident that quite large
| number of boats that did not attend
the Mobile affair will be on hand Sat
urday. One of the features of the
races will be the rowing race between
the boats from the various ships that
are now in port in this harbor. The
sailors are much interested in the
sport and there is said to be keen COM
petition between the various crews.
To Welcome Visitors From Interior
Preparations are being made by the
railroad and by the local regatta
committees to accommodate a large
crowd of people from the different
towns along the Gulf and Ship Island
and a most cordial invitation has beer
issued to them to be present on this
occasion and to participate in the
sport. Everything possible will be
done for their pleasure and enjoyment
A good view Of the races can be OBJ
tanned from the club house at the enc
, of the pier. Boats for special paftiei
of excursionists will be obtainable.
! The classes and prizes for this even

This is a very liberal list of prizes
and very comprehensive including all

that might desire to enter the races.
The people of Gulfport are looking
forward to a big fleet, big crowd of
eXcursionists, and the biggest event of
this kind that has ever been known
in the annals of yachting along the
coast.
