Campaign Quiet and Unostent atious

Practically all of the candidates have conducted quiet and transformations cam paigns. There have been several public addresses. but no joint debates. Com paratively little mud has been thrown. The one candidate has criticized the rec ord of the other and the tone of the criticism has not always been mild There have been few charges preferred and no fisticuffs engaged in. The race has been without unusual feature. In the beginning it was known that Miller was the strong man, In the beginning the race became one between King and Huddleston for second place on the ticket. Miller has striven to win on the first ballot The others have striVen to prevent a nomna- ton on the first ballot and to land second place in order that they might appear in the run-off.
 II is thought generally that Mir Miller will carry Greater Birmingham by an overwhelming vote, and will secure a neat plurality in the rural districts of the county. He confidently believes that he will carry Bibb and Perry, and will run Darden a close second for the votes or Blount.

 Little Opportunity to Enthuse
 On account of the sensational fea . lures which early attached themselves charges and counter charges which have characterized the race for the of flee of governor, there was left little opportunity for the people of this county to enthuse over the race for Congress Recently, however, since il has become known that Oscar w Un- derwood will be elected to the Sen ate, the people have become deeply interested in the problem of electiffg a man from Underwoods district to fill Cnderwoods shoes. The fact that inter est has become aroused has brought forth the development that Nathan L. Miller is the strongest man in the field and the man who stands fine chance of securing the nomina ton on the first ballot.
 In this race-this race for the seat of oscar N Underwood, the leader Of the democrats and the strongest man in the Congress-there are four candi . dates. Mir Miller, Jere G King, George C. Huddleston and George W. Darden. The four are well known. MT Miller has been a practicing attorney in Bir- mingham for many years. He served this senatorial district in the state sen ate. Mr. King began his career i'll Greenville.
 He next became a part and parcel of Huntsville Then he came to Birming- ham. He was elected to the legislature and there secured the passage of the Greater Birmingham bill He was aft erwards defeated in his efforts to become mayor of Birmingham. Mr. Huddleston was member of the old board of alder man. and has ever been considered one of the 'progressves' in municipal af- fairs Mr. Darden is of Blount county He is amember of the legislature. He had the distinction during the last ses- sion of the legislature of opposing the passage of the Smith local option bill. and supporting the Smith bills compa nion bill, the Parks bill, that embodying pro- visions for carrying out. the provisions of the Smith bill.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Rub the potatoes with olive oil be-
fore baking so that the skins will be
thin and soft and will not cling to
the inside of the potato when 1t is
done.
Stoneware and earthware alb
sorb fats and retain their odors so
that all fats should be kept in tin or
glass, which do not absorb them.
When making a berry pie from
canned berries stir a tablespoonful of
jelly into the berries before putting
them into the pie. II enriches the
flavor.
Housekeepers who get butter by
the jar or tub will find that the use
OF little charcoal will insure having
the butter sweet. The charcoal is
placed in a paper bag and then put
into the jar.

WistarIa and Wisterla.

Ernest II. Wilson, the distinguished
naturalist, has a good laugh on the
botanical sticklers. Incidentally he has
put in the wrong no end of writer's in
books, newspapers and periodicals, not
to mention the creator of one OF the
most fashionable colors of recent years
for women's apparel. 1t is all on &C
count Of one Of the most gorgeous of
flowers which Japan and China have
ever sent to this countryside wisteria.
Before I an snapped up on my spelling
of a word we are in the habit of pro-
nounclng that way, but spelling wis
taria, l will say that right here is
where Mr.. Wilson has caught the bot
anists and the rest of the world nap
ping. Although the magnificent vine
whose long purple or white racemes
are one of the glories Of springtime in
the northeastern part of the United
States was named after DR.. Wistar OF
the old Philadelphia family. there was
a slip up in the spelling. Christened
wisteria when it was introduced, it
must so stand forever, according to
inviolable botanical law. The same is
true of the stewartia-it should be
