Memory and His Own Family Pay It.

 will be generally carried out, Especially by Sunday and church classes. Mrs. Anderson writes:
 with greetings of the season. let me express my cordial thanks for your suggestion, pabiished in The Picayune, as to cominemorating the date of President Dayis's death, It is indeed fitting that the memory of one, who sacrificed so much for his beloved South. should be held fresh in the memory of his people. by such observ- ances. Especially so, is this important, in view of the false histories intro- duced into our sch hools. The summer visited Monteagle, when I had the pleasure of renewing our acquaint- ance. I was surprised to learn from some girls from the Winchester school, that that sort of history was, taught at their school. at the foot of Sewanee mountain.
 Let us hope that my dear uncle's words, after the surrender, may be proven in our future histories. He said: Truth lies at the bottom of & deep well. It may rise slowly. but 1t must and will rise to the surface at last
 Would not these words suit the oe- casion you suggest?"

That Deacit.

DemopoltS Times.
 The State Treasury, in October, when no revenues are coming in. is one thing and the State Treasury after the reve- nues have come in, say in March, is an- other thing. The last Legislature may appropriate more money than she will get in if so, there will be deficit sure enough. Perhaps, after all. the State won't be far behind when she gets her money in. If the Legislature has gone too fast and the Governor has not made good as a business Governor it will show up next year. Speaking Of "bus- mess Governors" some people say Ala bama's Governor Is awfully stlngy with his own money. but extremely liberal and careless with the States funds. If that really is the case we had better have a Governor who cares little for his money, but is very careful with the peoples money. Now as a matter of fact hasn't history demonstrated that the greatest statesmen were poor men, who thought of the people. always. and self was a secondary consideration?

ONLY ONE MORE.

'AEr. Roosevelt" remarks The Hart ford Times, ''has indulged in one more of his sweeping denials. The New York Suns story of the everything of former Secretary Hitchcock of the h. terior Department in the matter of the franchise of the Prairie Oil and Gas Company is declared in a White House statement to be false in every particular from beginning to end.' The Sun states that an error was made in describing the directions of the Presi- dent as having been given in writing instead of orally. and reasserts the absolute accuracy in other respects of its original statement. Governor Haskell of Oklahoma. in a very tenn perate statement furnishes facts which tend to prove that the President 'errs in his denial of The Suns narrative. But how much longer are these Pres idential mis-statements to be described as mere inaccuracies, while less seri- us variations from the truth. by peo- ,Ae who do not happen to live in the White House. are characterized by the .sharter and uglier word'?"

Speaker A. H. Carmichael, of Tus- enmbia, was among the prominent AL abamlans who attended the meeting or the Masonic Grand bodies. MT. Carmichael said that all he knew of the proposed extra session of the Leg islature was what he had seen in the papers
 If there is going to be any extra session." he said, q do not personally know anything of it. The Governor or course can call an extra session if he wants to. but I am confident that he will not call one until he feels that the conditions justify it. And feel sure that if he does issue the call the conditions will be such as will jus- tify the assembling of the Legislature. l do not think that there is any situ- alton at the present time which would call for an etxra session, But we can never tell what will develop. At any rate. the question Is with the Govern or and for one am willing to abide by his decision in the matter"

W9G Turkey Season,
 The seasou ioh wild turkeys opened on yesterday; these birds can be shot in AlahafnA from Decenber i st tobsA1rfF Game sand Fish Comm issiofier, Hon. John IT. waliaee IT., when anterro. gated on the condition of the wild tur- keys In Alabalna, ssaidbs 't-s' s.sf, 54s s'4s-s
 s"The wild turkey, the king Of all gamey6trds WAS 8THpldly nearing tas point of extinction in Alabama. The reason for this vas simple, These birds were bunted esregardless of, the nesting season, and in September and October, when the .fiedglings were stii1 following the mother-bird. they would be flushed by. hunters and after they had scattered, would be called up and oftentimes the entire drove would be killed. The season now opens on wild turkey December 1st, and at that time they are amply able. to dude the most skillful hunter. and can only be captured by Q resort to that strategy which is the pride Of every turkey hunters heart. Wild turkeys have fn- creased in large numbers in Alabama, and by limiting the killing of these birds to gobblers only. there is no rea- son why they should not abound in practically every woodland of the State; they have, been seen fin every county within the last three months" X A prominent visitor to Montgomery during the sessions of the Grand Lodge was State Senator B. H. Forester, of Houston county, who was leading member of the last Senate. Senator Forester was most highly esteemed by his fellow Senators and his judg ment was regarded as very sound on legislative matters. He was accom- panied to Montgomery by his two sons.

CrueTtx tn Dogs.


 "F cannot conceive of the senseless conduct of otherwise intelligent men," said huntsman yesterday Fellows have seen hunting birds and lose their temper to such an extent as to shoot and wound their own dogs. Of course, they repent as soon as they hear the degs howl. The other day I heard of an instance of this kind. People ought net, to have expected much of pointers during the recent dry spell It was a tax on the scent ing faculty of the dogs And 1t was unusually hot. too. Yet the owners of the dogs tn their impatience at the wandering disposition of the ani- mals whipped them unmercifulIy. To what sense of reasoning does such conduct appeal. It helps neither the dog, the game nor the man. It injurea the other two and as for the game they will be in just as much hiding as before Of course I do not mean that all hunters do this. in fact it is an exception but it ought to be stopped. Certainly shooting a dog as a rebuke is cruelty to animals and ought to bs prosecuted"
