Governor Emmett ONeal, State
Chairman r. Tyler Goodwin, and Jesse
F. Stallings, met in Birmingham and
held conference last night at the Nor
ris hotel. At its close this much was
given out:
Jesse Stallings is now chairman of the
democratic state campaign committee.
While Mr.. Stallings had been mention
ed, he did not consent to accept the
charge until last night. He had planned
a trip out of the state, but upon being
urged by both Colonel O'Neal and Mr..
Goodwin he finally decided to accept.
The personnel of the remainder of the
committee was practically decided upon
last night, but will not be given out for
several days, until the member from one
district is settled upon. 1T will be one
of the Strongest campaign committees
ever put in charge of a campaign in Ala
bama," said Chairman Goodwin, land
they will put up vigorous fight There
will be speakings In every section of the
state, and a hard fight made in all the
close counties. Democracy will be awake
this fall"
When asked for his policy as cam.
paign manager, Chairman Stf(ings said
I'VE will make an accurate campaign
of democratic education. The national
issues, upon which the republican party
is being wrecked all over the country
will be discussed, and old time democ-
racy expounded by the states best
speakers
THE purpose is to. re-unite the party
abolish all i'll feeling, forget the fights
of the past, and bring all democrats to-
gether.
I'VE will expect every nominee of the
democratic party to support the party
pledges, and take the stump for the
ticket. The two senators, all the con-
gressmen. and other prominent men will
canvass the state. We will not start too
early, but when we do, things will be
more lively
"The Seventh district, Vhere we find
the only fight will be given special at
tention. We will put speakers into every
hamlet if 1t is found necessary. We in
tend to carry that district for Mr.. Bur-
nett.
Colonel ONeal will remain In Birming-
ham today. He expects to make very
few speeches next month, appearing prob
ably at one or two barbecues, and will
give his business his attention. He will
take an active part in the campaign
this fall.

had an old piece of hose attached to a
water plug near by from which they

water at the plug. He fell, striking his
head on the cement. The blow proved to

Secret of Woman's

The

Many of the most powerful wo-

have controlled the policy of

VIII, who behea1ed pretty Anne
Boleyn ami other young and lovely
ladies' whom he took to wife, lived
out his life in peace with wise AMI
canny Catherine Parr.
The easiest and most direct way
to charm is to be interested in the
affairs of the person with whom
one is talking. The sympathetic
responsiveness which meets with
interest everything We mention is
the greatest of all charms. Nc cola
stiff, unsympathetic person can

has real kindness and consideration

Gold Medal for Saline County
Girl.

The. following extract is from an
article in the Hale County Texas
Herald, describing the recital givel
at Central Plains College, Plain
view, Texas.
"The most attractive program
given at the college this year was
given last Saturday evening in cele
bration of General Robert E. Lees
birthday.
BY far the most interesting pre-
s%entation or the evenings pro-
gram was the music of Dorothy
Smith of Amarillo.
Dorothy was introduced by her
instructor, who spoke at length of
her musical talent, and she is be-
yoni doubt a genius. She is only
eight years old and has received
fifteen lessons, but plays as well as
many who hav1 S udied TO years,
ana does so with a skill that is
surprising. She received a gold
medal, given by Dr.. ~Dunvaavski,
for proficiency ana progress, sha
making a grade of 100"
Dorothy is the daughter of Mr..
ana Mrs. s. H. Smith of Amarillo,
Texas, who moved from Gretchen
four years ago. Mrs. Smith will
be well remembered as Miss Anna
DeRacken who taught music in h
Malta Bend public schools. 1ha

examination grade of 100 also n
titled her to the scholarship in

Innocent After 20 Year Term.

Galveston, Tex, February 3D.
Rector Williams, 81 years old, has
been released from the State PEN
itentiary at Rusk after a twenty
years service, accompanied by the
man he was convicted of having
killed. Bernard j. Carter of Seattle
Wash, was responsible for the re-
lease of William from the prison
where he was serving a forty-year
term.
When Carter saw the name of
Rector Williams mentioned among
the convicts who testified before
a legislative committee he became
interested and discovered it was
the same man who drove cattle
ana rode the range with him TWEEN
ty years ago. Carter visited the
prison and the pardon of Williams
followed.
Twenty years ago Williams ana
Carter owned small interests in
cattle in West Texas and were en-
ployed on the Mccormick ranch
in Crockett and Pecos counties.
They had frequent ~luarrels, which
terminated in a fight in which
Carter was stabbed and left for
dead. Williams believed he had
killed his companion and he at
tempted to hide the crime by
throwing the body in the Pecos
River. Carter however, recovered
ana left the Southwest.

this is a matter of permissible in
difference. If one does not believe,
that his countenance adds to or
detracts anything from the lives
or expressions of others let him
pause for a moment before that
now celebrated "Billiken." It is
almost impossible to look at the
little imp and not smile. The Jap
anese teach their maids in the ho-
tells, and those also in higher walks
of life, the art Of smiling. They
are compelled to practice before
a mirror. One can not stay long
in Japan without being inoculated
with the disposition to "look pleas
ant" The "look pleasant, please"
of the photographer goes deeper
than the photograph plate.
No one wants to associate long
with an animated vinegar cruet.
A disposition is easily guessed
from the angle OF the of
the mouth; a disposition is mould
ed by compelling those angles to
turn up or down. If a merry heart
maketh a glad countenances i. is
also true that a glad countenances
maketh a merry heart-in The one
who has it ana in the one who be-
holds it. "Iron sharpeneth iron.
