One Was Printed in Wester- vile, O.; the Other Does
 Not Contain POstmark
JOHNSTON HAS ONE
 OF EACH EDITION
One Edition Does Not Bear Union Label-JOhnston Refers to It as the "Carpetbag
 Book"
By HUGH ". ROBERTS


 The Underwood campaign committee Look.
 It was printed in Birmingham.
 During the week just passed the Hobson campaign committee issued a campaign look.
 It was printed in westerville, o.
 In regard to the appearance of the Hobson campaign book there is an in- teresting story.
 It appeared-and reached the office of Forney Johnston, manager of the Underwood campaign. It contained no union label and no date line indicat- ing when or where it was published.
 Mir. Johnston te]erAoned every print ing house in Birmingham. Each de- clared that it did not print the book. Each declared that il could have print ed book. and would have been glad of an opportunity to print the book.
 And later another copy came to Bir mingham-and reached the office of MT. Johnston. Tais copy contained the union label. And the union label con- tained the words. "Westerville, O."
 WesterV1lle is the home of the head of the AntiSaloone league of Amer ica, Dr. Baker. pr. Baker as is re- membered, called in person to thank MT. Underwood fo. his valiant efforts In behalf of the Webb bill. He. is the man who afterward wrote Congressman Brombaugh urging him to express the thanks or the head of the league to MT. Underwood And he is the man who later wrote that congressman urging him not to thank MT. Under wood. He explained that in the time intervening between the letters he had learned from Rev Brooks Lawrence of Birmingham the kind of campaign which his followers would pitch against the great democrat.
 The fact that thousands of copies of the Hobson book were printed in Westervilie-which is in Ohio--has given force to the argument that astute republicans, imbued with the hope of achieving the defeat of 8 democrat, are going to extremes other than talk ing and working and sending newspa- per embassies to Alabama to besmirch the character of Alabama.
 MT. Johnston characterizes the Hob son oook as the "earpetbagger book.
 He declares it is ''distressingly book. issued sometime ago, and print ed by union printers and Alabama printers"
 In regard to the book, there is con siderable speculation in Birmingham.
 While the majority of people believe that the omission. of the union label in the first "edition" was unintention- al others believe that the two editions were published in order that the one might be sent somewhere" and the other elsewhere"
 The contents of the book have been uttered bY the captain from every stump in Alabama and have been pub lshed in the caprain's paper. A claim Is made that there Is not county in the Sixth district that Captain Hob son will not carry by large major ity."
 This reininds O. an article published sometime ago by a gifted writer who is supporting the captain. This writer declared that "nefarious jackels still infest beautiful Greensboro garden spots"
 Greensboro Is in Hale county, and Hale county Is in the Sixth district.

LAST COMPOSITION ! 0F DR. RICHARDSON
Planned to Deliver Brief Ad- dress Before Fraternity
 at the University

University. March 21.-(Special)-The
 last composition of Dr. Warfield Creath Richardson. who at the time of his death was recognized as one of the most scholarly and distinguished literary men of the state, and who had. for several years preceding his death, the distinction of being the oldest living alumnus of the university, was brief address to be se- livered at a meeting of the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity.
 pr. Richardson died Friday, March 13, at 11.:sO o'clock. On Saturday, March 2, of tile preceding week, the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity, of which he was a member, was to have a meeting. He was invited to attend this meeting. On that day he wrote a memorandum of what he was to say at the meeting. He was unable. however, to attend on &C., count of sudden change fin the weather He was taken Ill on Monday. March g.. His intended remarks were as follows:
 Glad was I to hear this morning that you were to celebrate the anniversary of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. and in the halls of my beloved alma mater. 1 therefore hasten tonight to meet you, to greet you, and to testify my fealty to your distinguished body.
 Its career in Tuscaloosa was a brilliant one, but short lived. It flared for d sea- son like an arc light. but at the approach of the civil war. 1t flickered and went out in absolute darkness. It is favorable auspice that 1t has been resurrectcd, that the old fires have been relighted, and It's ancient spirit revived We did not let 1t die in silence. We said our farewells with many a sigh; we wept over It's remains I had <the honor of delivering before it it's Nrst and only oration.
 "For reasons known to most of you. 1t was set going in Tuscaloosa in the face of serious odds. It was born in storm and tempest and died prematurely. But the principle 1t involved could not die. Fraternity! What magic word! The swan song of self, the slogan of al- truism! It was sentiment too big for utterance, and Christ came to earth to reveal it. The word had been suppressed for ages, but Christ was compelled to voice 1t. So when he spoke, the sun stood still on Ajalon. Near him. Love your neighbor.'

Conner Still Seems to Be in the Lead With Hender-
 son Coming Next
UNDERWOOD AHEAD
 BY BIG MAJORITY
Miller Recognized as Man the Other Candidates for Congress in the Ninth District Have
 to Beat
By.HuGH w. ROBERTS,

Comparatively little change has been noted in the general political situation for the past week.
 For governor. MT. Conner leads and Mir. Henderson follows. This seems to be the consensus of opinion. For the Senate Mir. Underwood leads by a big majority and MT. Hobson follows. For the short term, no line can be drawn on account of the limited distance the race has to date been run For lieutenant governor the indications are that MT. Kilby will carry practically all the counties.
 For minor state offices the candidates are punched in such fashion that no accurate prediction is possible. These races are so completely overshadowed by other and more important struggles, that no line of worth can be drawn.
 In the Ninth district, the congressional race is destined. it seems to become in- teresting. There are four men who de- sire to acquire the seat which MT. Under wood will surrender when he dons the toga of a senator It is now and has al- ways been generally understood that the man in the lead is Nathan L. Miller. It is admitted by the candidates, or most of them, that he is the candidate they must overcome.
 It has been reported that MT. Miller and MT. Huddleston, one of his oppon- ents, will meet this week in joint debate. Up to the present time, however, no ar rof, oT1,o ,fd hox han tad
 The other candidates, Jere c. King and George w. Darden, are indefatigable in their efforts. MT. King is believed to be the second man in the race. Mir. Darden Is from Blount county, and he has never been considered strong candidate. He says, however, that he will be elected.
 In the county, the sheriff's race looms up as the race of greatest interest.
 During the week just passed, it beSame rumored that the prohibitionists were lined up behind T. J. Batson. It Is said that this fact coupled with the fact that c. w. Austin did not qualify, makes MT. Batson exceptionally strong. probably the strongest individual candidate.
 w. T. Lathem, George H. Bodeker and Gus Lee are industrially at work. and each is confident of finishing first at the tape.
 Interest in county affairs will be &C., centuated before the closs of this week in the announcement of the prohibition ists' legislative slate
 Birmingham s candidate for the railroad commission, B. H. Cooper. announces his satisfaction with the outlook.
 MT. Cooper has been a candidate for a long time. For many weeks he wended his way silently throughout the state. Betting acquainted with the people. Little was heard of him.
 And then the railroad settlement was made. Associate Members Julian and McCord differed as to the merits of that settlement. No sooner had these facts became known, than the people turned to Cooper.
 Mr. Cooper denounced the settlement He is today the strongest candidate for the commission in the field, and this con sidered certain that he will secure one of the two places.

A Severe Case of Grip

Severe Case of Grip
 MT. W. s. Brown, K. F. D. 4, box S2. Rogersville Tenn, writes: q recom- mend Peruna to all sufferers of catarrh or cough. In the year of 1909 I took a se- were case of the la grippe. I then took a bad cough. Everybody thought I had consumption. I had taken all kinds of cough remedies, but got no relief.
 II then decided to try Peruna. After talk ing five bottles my cough stopped and my catarrh was cured. Anyone suffering with catarrh in any form I will advise them to take Peruna."
