Thurman, of SuIligent; Hon. Jack
Young, of Vernon; Mr.. Lee Guin, of
Kennedy; DR.. w. A. Burns, prison
inspector for the State of Alabama !;
DR.. G. S. Barksdale, of Fernbank, ex-

recall, were also educated at the Yer

What we said in a recent letter
about the all-day singings' was not
intended for a direct blow at any one
as we called no names. We just
wrote after the dictates of an honest
conscience. But if some one is hit
we have no apology to make. We
wish we had said more and expect to
say more a little later on. There are
some people who cannot stand the
truth. But the Me1borne news gath
erer believes in the whole truth and
fighting the devil with fire. We do
not pin our faith to the coat tail of
any preacher whether he be of small
or large calibre. We search the Holy
Scriptures and try to work out our
own salvation with fear and trem-
bling. We have the halter of no
man about our neck; hence we write
after the dictates of our conscience
regardless Of what any person or
persons may say or think We would
be glad for some of those fellows who
are so opposed to the Sunday picnic
to come over to Fernbank on the sec
ond Sunday in June or to Friendship
on the third and meet with a high
class Of ladies and gentlemen, hear
some good songs, get a good square
meal. plenty of pure. fresh air and
good, pure water, see good order
throughout the day, hear a good ser
mons and We think that they would
quit kicking up the devil about the
singings. We believe in singing and
expect to sing praises to God until
time shall be no more with US. Any
thing that a preacher or any one else
would say or write against an all-day
singing would have about as much
weight with Us as a iaybird's feather
would on the back of huge jackass.
We expect TO attend an all-day sing
Ing at Fernbank on the second Sun
day in June and hope to meet all of
our friends there. It used to be that

they would first measure the horse.
Just here we wish to thank that
distinguished Blue Eyed" Fort

wish to assure him that the same is
reciprocated.
We also wish to thank old John

Politics are still playing the devil
in general all over Lamar county. We
thought that the political pot would
cool down after the primary was held
on the 18th inst, but she is still very
hot over the court house question.
There is not a single logical reason
why the people should not have a
right to say where the county seat
should be and when the new court
house should be built. The only rea-
son advanced so far as we can ascer-
tain is that it would be a useless ex-
pense to the people TO hold an cleo
ton. This is a very poor reason, for
it is well known all over Lamar
county that Hon. John s. Guyton, r.
J. Young, Capt. W. N. Ogden. A. s.
Gray. A. y. Hollis. " G. Priddy.
Chas. A. Courtney and others Of
Sulligent have guaranteed the ex-
pense of the election, which viii DO
away with the expense scare. When
Capt. w. W. Ogden speaks It means
something, as he IS president Of the
Bank of sulligent and one OF the
leading business men and shrewd
financiers of Alabama. 4 man who
lives % or so miles from the pres
ent county seat has just as much
right to say where the new court
house shall be built as one who has
lived in Vernon from his infancy. The
election will not cost the people a
cent, so lets have it and settle the
court house question on a Democratic
principle as taught by Jefferson. Any
good Democrat is perfectly willing
for the majority to rule, or at least
thinks. Dan"

worthy aspirants for positions will be given square deal'
 Now that the call has been issued for the holding of the democratic
 primaries. the political pot is begin ming to boil, as several candidates are
 mentioned for the various offices. For
 warden the names of William J Weary, Edward E. Stevens and Jo- seph Reynolds are being seriously
 considered. It is understood that Burgess Reynolds is to retire from the office of burgess. The name o1
 John M. Freeman has been mention ed as his successor. Burgess Pierce
 Freeman has had all that he wants of being burgess and James Murphy the we'll known blacksmith, will probably be named as his successor. It is thought that Burgess Daily will succeed himself in the third ward.
 Patrick Cleary and John P. Hogan are
 seeking the nomination for tax col lector and each candidate has a large
 following. The other offices are o1 lesser importance and fewer names
 have been mentioned as possible can didates for them, but there are us-
 ually enough looking for them, and
 little trouble is ever encountered in filling them. The annual election
 will be held May 4 and from now on
 many names are likely to be mention
 ed as candidates. The republicans
 are not giving out much as yet with
 the single exception that Burgess
 Schofleld has been mentioned as a candidate for warden.

 tions, Lawyer Declares - Unlawful,
 but Not Criminal.
 New York, April g. - It developed that for the past ninety days the de- partment of justice at Washington has had Edward P. Moxey. special bank examiner, and force of trained men at work on the books and records of the National Bank of North America, for the muddling of whose affairs Charles W. Morse and its former pres ident, Alfred ii. Curtis, are now under indictment.
 The presence of Moxey, the dean of the government bank examiners, is significant in view of the fact that 1t was he who was called on to gather the evidence that sent John R. Walsh to jail. He is responsible for a score of bank officials being sent to jail. With him at the National Bank of North America is J. P. Fernsler, who also played prominent part in the Walsh case in Chicago. They are go- ing over all of the affairs of the bank having to do with the transactions of its officials at the time of the panic last October.
 Morse and Curtis In Court.
 Attorneys for Charles w. Morse, the former ''ice king" and Alfred NJ. Cur tis appeared before Judge Hough in the federal court to interpose demur- rers against the indictments found against them for overcertification and other manipulation of the banks funds. Wallace Macfarlane, who as the fed eral district attorney ten years ago in dicted and convicted officials of the Seventh National for similar offenses, appeared for Charles w. Morse. Morse and Curtis were in court the greater part of the time following the argu- ment. It was announced that the plan is to bring the two financiers to the bar of the federal court this month.
 Mr. Macfarlane argued that the in- dictments failed to show that the bank suffered by reason of the alleged over certi1cation. That the bank lost through the transaction must be set forth with exactness, the lawyer con tended The indictments as whole, argued MT. Macfarlane, contain no le- gal charge of misapplication of the banks funds.
 On the first count of the indictment, which charged that the two defendants used the banks money to buy stocks, MT. Macfarlane insisted that while the purchase of stocks by national bank was unlawful it was not criminal, but subject only to special penalties such as forfeiture of charter.
