 Regarding politics of the fature Capt J. H. Cranford of Jasper, who is at the Hotel Morris. said last night
 '1t looks like a large field of prom inent men will be in the next sena- toria1 campaign. A strong effort will be made. I presume. to defeat Senator Bankhead. But he will be a difficul, nut for them to crack.
 T have been fighting in politics with Senator Bankhead since 1882 anc in all that time we have sustaineo but one deefat. And then that defea, was soon transformed into victory be. cause it resulted in the surrender of 2 seat in Congress and the acquisition of a seat in the senate"

 NOW, I am a prohibitionist. I differ from many prohibitionists in that do not drink And perhaps I differ

I was in a drug store few minutes ago and saw a young ster carefully black enins with ink all spaces in all newspapers which had Just come in whereon liquor ddver- tisements were printed. Of course that bill is joke. It is making Alabama the laughing stock of the natioi,-one of the very few intelligent commun- ftfes-perhaps the only one-Nherein outside newspapers without mutilatioa cannot be bought
