 I am frank to say that the month referred to by MT. kerwin was very satisfactory to me; one that any man might be proud of, and the months earnings casts no reflection on me, and needed not to have been referred to by me in this article; l have done so only to prove that Mr. Ker- wins statement was premeditat- ed, and that he stated an un- truth when the truth would have served his purpose just as well. He says no man can serve two masters. This being true, how can he look after a large law practice, such as any lawyer should have if he is fit to be a Senator and serve his people.
 
 As a lawyer of several years standing, if he has not made good at home so that his income reaches $18000 per month, (the pay he would receive as Sena- tor) could he be considered good material for the Senate? Almost every citizen of Pine Bluff knows that owing to the insufficient pay that our representatives receive, our most able lawyers, lawyers with a iustifiable income at home do not offer for the Legislature as they cannot afford to give up a good monthly income and weaken a good law practice to go to the State Senate.

Hobart , from the French of Paul Herve with music by Jean Brquet. Germans in many of the cities have seen Alma" as. it was first produced in this country in that language at Adolph , Phillips Theater in New York City. where it ran for several months. Most of those who say it in the Ger man version were shocked at it's salaciousness, but in undergoing it's revision into English it has been purified and all the suggestiveness taken out of it by Mir. Hobart, who has nevertheless, so it is said, suc- ceed in turning out most enjoy able play which together with tht dainty music of the French composer goes to make up most dellghtfu .evenings's entertainment. The story of Alma retains it's French mess and while without in any sense being naughty is still bright and entertaining. It is all about coun' try youth who has fortune De- queathed to him under the conol- tions that he shall neither fall III love with nor propose to Wohiaii before he reaches the age of twenty

ASKS COWART FOR
 THE WHOLE TRUTH

Montgomery, June 1s.-(Special )-Com- missioner of Immigration Lee Cowart re- ceived a hard blow through the mail this morning, when a German named George Schlaht, from South Dakota, wrote a long letter to the capitol attache request ing the whole truth regarding the immi- grafton advantages of this commonwealth. MT. Schlaht said that he did not care for any fairy tale gossip, nor for adul- terated facts, but for solid and substan- tial facts. He wanted to know how high the grass grows, how long the winter lasts, and everything else that a thrifty farmer should know.
 MT. Cowart has written him of the Fl Dorado-telling naught but the facts.
 Harry Craig of Illinois has written to the commissioner in the interest of six other families requesting pamphlets on the states resources.
 The commissioner, in order to more sat isfaetorily answer the numerous queries which he is receiving daily, is arrang- ing for the publication of 5000 pamph- lets, which will contain testimonials from recent immigrants to this state on the advantages of Alabama. He expects tc realize from such pamphlets hundreds oi prospective settlers.
