And toiling masses of the state. words are wholly inadequate A proper and just consideration for the welfare of those who labor in all walks of life has been my aim and purpose for many years. In the future as in the past shall be found in the front ranks battling for them in all their laudable and praiseworthy sf-
 forts looking to bettering and uplifting their condition in life.
 Ut is a well known fact I have never desired to run for public office; in fact, that have consistently refused to do so, preferring always to get behind the
 other fellow" The importantly of my friends, however, and due deference to the repeated and insistent calls made upon by the moral, Christian and temperance forces of the state and nation and by other leaders whose ideals squared with mine on state and national issues made it appear my duty to make the race. Quite naturally, I had hoped to have some part in finding solutions for any of the big problems now confronting our nation but l am not so sure that 1t will be possible for me to render equally as valuable service right here at home. My experience as a member of . county board of education more recently as a member of the state board of education. and still more recently as a trustee of the University of Alabama, in the light of the things I have been permitted to see In my recent travels over the state con vince me that there is as wide a field of public service in Alabama as there could possibly be in the halls of Con- gress. As a loyal and patriotic Alabam- ian therefore, I consider it my duty to turn my attention from politics to those less spectacular, but more vital lines or endeavor, which make for economic pros perity, for law and order, and for the sociar~ good.
 T give it as my personal observation that no bigger problem confronts Ala bama than the provision of good school facilities for all boys and girls and I have not the slightest doubt that public education is our door of greatest oppor- tunity. My experience in the campaign now closed has been exceedingly valu- able to me. It has enabled me to see the needs of our people more Clearly; it has inspired me to dedicate anew eff forts in the future toward bringing good schools within the reach of all the chill dren of the state; for, after all popular education is the only avenue to intel Ilgent citizenship. That platform is large enough for all good people to stand upon and it is live enough to command our im- mediate, unselfsh and Whole-hearteu support. l.. B. MUSGROVE."

 Dear Sister: I am highly pleased with the account Captain Freeman gives me of you. I always judged from your be- havior when a child that you would make a good, agreeable woman; and you know you were ever my peculiar favorite. have been thinking what would be suitable present for me to make, and for you to receive. as I hear you are grown a celebrated beauty. I had almost deter mined on a tea table, but when l con- slider that the character of a good house. wife was far preferable to that of only being pretty gentlewoman, I concluded to send you a spinning wheel, which I hope you will accept as a small token of my sincere love -sad affection Sister, farewell. and remember that modesty, as it makes the most homely virgin am fable and charming, so the want of 1t renders the most perfect beauty and odious. But when that brightest of female virtues shines among other perfections of body and mind in the same person. it makes the woman more lovely than an angel. Excuse this free dom, and use the same with me I am, dear Jenny, your loving brother,
