EVIDENCES OF POLITICS
 IN THE AMENDMENT FIGHT

looks as though there had been some dis elimination. Still one of the reports had it that Hon. J. B. Ellis, his manager, was at the meeting and the Mallory men need not feel the discrimination too keenly
 l observed that Hon. A. H. Carmichael
 speaker of the house and the "coth cut ter from Colbert" was chairman of the committee on resolutions, and delivered the principal address of the gathering
 MT Carmichael In the last few days has said that he would not make the race for lieutenant governor, for which he has been urged by certain representatives of the moral forces" but he is still speaker of the house and the primaries are a year off yet. And hard by was Hon. Je- rome T. Fuller of Bibb, the author of the "Fullerlicker bll'' and whom fame claims as her own. The Honorable Je- rome, is, I understand, a candidate for reelection to the legislature on the strength of the ''F' ulericker bill" And hard by is Hon. Sam Blackwell, who was retired as mayor of Decatur few months ago by an ungrateful constituency. I ob- serve, too, on this same committee, MT. George C.. Miles of our city, who was not elected to the city council, but whose civic activity has been none the less hampered thereby.
 The nominating committee was thick with experienced political leaders There we find the Hon. N. M. Rowe Of Madison, champion weeper of the last house, the gentleman who said his wife often called him an old fool" Senator Henry P. Merritt's name was written there as the name of man who never flickered on the question. Is there anything in the re- port that MT Merritt will be a candidate for the house from Macon and then d candidate for speaker in the next house |? It was appropriate. too. that the name of a gentleman so active as Hon. w. F.
 Feagin should be upon this committed
 MT. Feagin's name has been upon the payroll of the state treasury for a num- Der of years, and if signs county for any thing MT. Feagin's candidacy for superM- tendent of education will win and Mr.
 Feagin's name will continue in office The last name on the list is that of Judge H.
 B. Foster. Will Judge Foster continue in his present judicial job in Tuscaloosa or will he make the race to the end for probate judge of Tuscaloosa county?
 The list of contributors as published is quite long. Some of the contributors l have already named and some are 1 unknown to me, but l am forced to ob- serve the presence there of some office holders and candidates who naturally are as anxious as anybody else to see the holy cause advanced, There near the ton Is the name of Hon. Mike Sollie candi- date Tor state senator, and the gentleman who is grieved because 51 per cent of the { population of Great Britain is made up l of paupers; 1 note the name of Hon. R. ] M. Lee. member of the House from , Barbour. gentleman who is said to hold 1 the record of running for offices more | times than any other man in Barbour and | Barbour has the reputation of being a 1 county of politicians. We can not over I look the significant name of Rev. Harry
 l.. Martin who did not beat Henry Clay l ton for Congress, but who did help Bryan | write the national democratic platform l Isn't Morgan D. Jones a judge down in | Covington county, and isn't it an elective l office? I'm not sure about that?
 The name of T. F. Scale of Sumter
 may not mean much to a man living
