ELECTRICAL . STORM IN PULLMAN Considerable Damage Done by Lightning in the
 County

Cullman, May 6.-(Special )-Cullman was visited by one of the severest elee- trical storms yesterday about 12 o'clock that has been seen for some years. It Is reported that considerable damage has been done in several sections of the coun- ty by lightning, houses in number of communities sand some instances people were struck and severely injured. One family by the name of Jeton, living at Berlin, six miles east of Cullman, was se- verely shocked and one member of the family, J. w. Jeton, is in a critical con dition Lightning struck the end of the house. tearing out the windows and the chimney. and every member of the family was shocked, but the one mentioned above was the worst injured of all the family. The rainfall was heavy also during the storm and considerable damage is report ed from that. No wind accompanied the electrical storm.
 It is believed by prominent local option ists here that the shooting and cutting affair which occurred at Holly Pond yes terday afternoon will have it's weight in legalizng the return of the open saloon when the election is held here the 20th inst The fight is attributed to blind tiger" or what local option advocates term as prohibition whisky and it may
 be that this will be used as q talking point for the return of the open saloon.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
 FROM HALEYVILLE
Successful Revival Held-New Ice Plant Ready for Business.
 Houses Scarce

Haleyville, May 6.--(Special )-During the past two weeks the Rev. Curtis s. Shubart has been holding crowded meet ings in the Baptist church with very marked success. One of the pleasing fea- lures was the way the other denomina- tions co-operated, which speaks we'll for our town.
 The new ice plant is ready for business This plant has been erected by c. V.
 Rainey of Jasper and is thoroughly up to
 date It is located adjoining both the Northern Alabama railway and the Illi-
 nois Central railroad and will ship ice over both roads. The prospects are that it will have good demand for it's product in icing the fruit cars, as Haleyvile ex- poets to ship over 50 cars of peaches this year. The orchards are in good condition and have been well sprayed There is some fear that there will not be sufficient labor available to care for the shipping and canning of the fruit.
 The scarcity of houses for rent is hurt ing the town. Families come and have to crowd into houses with others. Houses are often rented a month or two in ad vance.
 Very rapid progress Is being made with the well being bored for gas It is now about 1900 feet deep. A greater depth has been reached in two months than ir six months with the first well sunk A great deal of corn and cotton has been planted the past week, though the
 weather has been showery.

ABERCROMBIE SEES SENATE
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, May 6.-(Special )-After looking on the proceedings in the House for an hour pr. John w. Abercrombie of Alabama, who w, ln Washington Tor a few days last week, expressed desire to look in on the Senate.
 The House had under consideration the Judicial and legislative appropriation bill. An interesting proposition was being con sdered, the elimination of members mile- age or something of like import and the attendance was above the average. AS IS always the case there was much confu- sion. The stranger is unable to catch a word of the proceedings. It looks like papdemonium or some other menagerie turned loose. Only a very few of the members pay any attention to whoever may be speaking or the general proceed ings of the House.
 But Dr. Abercrombie and his newspaper escort walked over to the Senate. The Secretary was reading proposed amend ment Not more than six senators were in their seats and they were scattered over the chamber.
 Has the Senate adjourned?" asked the doctor the moment we entered the gal lery and the great silence fell full upon him.
 NO indeed, the Senate is in session and in full working condition" Well, what a contrast to the House" ]" he declared.
 sThis Is senatorial deeorum and dignity. And further. my dear doctor, perhaps 1t will be hard for you to realize that just now the Senate is engaged in the biggest fillibustering wrangle of the session"
 1rt,ft iA1-a ta9o I lrnn than that. You must remember that 1 am soon to be a member of the House myself and who knows but that I may come on over here in few years. l cer-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-07

I tainly ought to know a wrangle when 1 sec it."
 But the doctor was wrong. The Senate
 had been fillibustering then for almost two days. Senators Smith of Georgia and
 Reed of Missouri were doing all in their power to prevent a vote on the employer 8 liability bill.
 But fillibuster In the Senate Is one thing and the same thing in the House is another thing. They knock down and
 drag out In the House, but in the Senate
 the members never once forget their dig
 nity and the courtesy that they imagine thOy owe to each other They can speak without limit and can demand roll calls for a quorum every few
 minutes to kill tlme When senator gets tired speaking and there is no one to relieve him he can have the secretary read something. The members that are
 not specially interested or engaged in the fight usually retire to the cloak room or to their offices.
 A real hard fight in the Senate reminds
 one of a cock fight after both cocks are about exhausted
 Dr. Abercrombie had an opportunity to get a glimpse of most of the members when roll was called and they stepped in for moment to answer to their names.

UNDERWOOD NOW IN
 STRONG POSITION Friends Can Ask for Sup
 port in the North SOUTH IS BEHIND HIM All the Eastern States Needed Was Assurance That the Southern
 States Would Help in His Nomination
By WALTER HARPER

Washington, May 6.-(Special. .)-Perhaps anticipating a bold and aggressive move ment on the part of those backing the candidacy of oscar Underwood, the Washington Post Saturday morning in it's leading editorial asks: "Why should the director of the Underwood campaign hesitate longer to test the southern can dIdates popularity in the north?
 The Post, like great many people, has forgotten that the campaign for Oscar Underwood was not launched with the idea of making it aggressive. It was not until Alabama had instructed her dele gates to vote for him until the nomination is made and after the neighboring states of Georgia and Florida had taken like steps did the packers of Oscar under wood feel or could they assume that his candidacy would be taken seriously py the rest of the country.
 Since his home state and his neighbor- ing states are indorsing his candidacy so enthusiastically his friends feel that they have a right to put some aggressiveness into the campaign and especially since there seems to be a real demand for nm
 in other states.
 The Washington Post is perhaps antici- pating just the thing that the Underwood people are now heartened to do any may do and is in hurry to throw out dare That really is the covert spirit of the ed itorial.

Selma, May 6.-tspecial.)-Editor A. 5. Tucker of the Thomasville Echo. is firm believer that Oscar W. Underwood will receive the democratic nomination for the presidency at the Baltimore convention next month. MT. Tucker spent Saturday in Selma and while no clairvoyant ne made several predictions which he is of the opinion will come true.
 Editor Tucker is an ardent supporter of Underwood's without any second choice. He predicts the nomination of the

not unknown to the people of the north and east They are perhaps more familiar with it than are the people of his own section. These people make a business of studying public men and their poli- cies. They know what Oscar Underwood has done and is trying to do. They care nothing about where he lives. They want administration. They want ability and justice in the execution of laws. They know that oscar Underwood cannot go far wrong. It is not in him to be nasty and erartie.
 The plans of the Underwood campaign managers have not yet been announced, but 1t may be stated with positiYeness that before many more weeks have

The Underwood people are not afraid to invade the north with their claims now that they have the assurance that thelr candidate will be supported by the people of the south. It would have been pre- sumptious to have gone to the north anu east asking for support for southern man before demonstrating the south 8 willingness to give it's own support to lis candidate But MT. Underwood will not carry his fight to any northern state at the expense of complete harmony m the party. If there is assurance that there exists A real demand for Underwood in any of the states of the north those people will be given an opportunity 10 eK- press their opinion.
 That there is real demand and grow ing sentiment for Underwood in many sections of the east where his safety and his tariff record are approved by the people is beyond question.
 Many sections of New England have come to the honest conclusion that the policy of republican tariff protection IS unjust and hurtful to the mass Of the people They want tariff reform. They are watching the record of Oscar Under wood with close interest. They approve of his course and hi spolicies.
 He Is being recognized as the safest tariff reformer that has arisen in any partv for the past half century. If he is the nominee of the democratic party he will poll the votes of thousands of New England voters who have readjusted their
 ideas of the tariff. Thousands of them are now ready to vote for his nomination.
 Substantial citizens of Massachusetts and other New England states with whom have talked during the past month have had good words to say for Oscar Under wood They look upon him as the great est leader of any party They consider him honest. well balanced on all ques- tions and absolutely safe None of then suggests his unavailability on account Of his residence in the south.
