The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-09-03

Emmet ONeal, the next governor oi Alabama, stopped over yesterday in BIT mingham on his way home from Mont somerv and other points in middle and west Alabama.
 T had a most satisfactory audience at LaFayete a few days ago. said MT O'Neal. "The large courthouse was packed with representative citizens from all sections of the country. Circuit court had just convened and many people were in town on this account. Court LOOK recess for the speaking and all me standing room was taken.
 q will speak to my home people at Florence next Monday. Court convenes there Monday and l have been asked to make an address I have also been in vited to speak at East Lake Monday on the occasion of the Labor Day ceie- bration and I am very sorry that 1t Will be impossible to accept.
 "Of course there is no danger of the democratic party losing any ground Tn Alabama, but every democrat should see to it that the best showing possible Is made. We should not be satisfied with ypere victory. We want and must have A rousing majority, a majority that Will admit of no boosting on the part ol the enemy"
 Mir. O'Neal is looking well and fit for the fight.
 The writer of this department appreciates the following kind words from McLane Triton. editor of the Pell City Progress' cashier of the First National bank or St Clair county, secretary of the Ala bama Bankers association, president or the Alabama Press association, president of the Bank of Lincoln, lawyer oi prominence, f1nancier and dealer m real estate and insurance
 "Walter Harper is running splendid series of special articles in The Age Herald. The Alabamian is short of ideas indeed who is caught by MT. liar per in Birmingham and not separated from something worth passing along MT. Harper has the happy faculty of condensing within the compass of few sentences the real gist of minute talk, and he often dresses up the strang- CTS ideas in language far more clever and witty than that which marked it's utterance MT. Harper Is adding much to the daily editions of The Age-Herald which we trust one of these days will reach the standard of excellence set by the Sunday edition. That Sunday Age Herald Is one of the very 'best papers in the south. Five hours devoted to it is time well spent. One can hardly read and absorb all the good things in less time"
 MT. Triton dresses well. is fluent speaker. a good business man. philoso- pher, e man of good sound judgment, a good friend and gentleman.
 The editor of the Sunday Age-Herald also requests me to remove his hat to MT. Triton.
 When the census of 1900 was taken Boaz, Ala, had a total population of 25S. The present population is probably 800. maybe a shade more.
 Boaz sits on the southeastern edge of Sand mountain, in the southern part of Marshall county. It Is one of the most prosperous and thriving little towns in the state of Alabama. and is full of good substantial citizens. The town handles almost s1oo.ooo worth of chickens and eggs every year. large quantities of cotton. and this year the farmers are raising an abundance of corn and hay.
 But that story will do to tell any time.
 Boaz Is preparing for a municipal eiec- tion. It will be spectacular. It seems
