AN OVATION
Given Mr. Otto Pulse, the Contractor for
Blountville’s New School Building.
Blountsville, Dec. 6.—(Special.)—On
Wednesday morning, December 4, the
board of control for Blountsville State
Behool met to receive from Mr. Pulse the
keys to the school building, which had
just been completed. The books and ac
counts were investigated and it was
found that there was a considerable sum
still due Mr. Pulse on the work. The
board, however, made satisfactory ar
rangements with Mr. Pulse, and after
having the building Insured the keys
were turned over to the board. It was
said that the proper thing to do In or
der to show to Mr. Pulse our appreciation
of his faithful performance of his work
an ovation should be given him. Profess
ors Blalock and Dewberry nrranged the
programme and nt 7 p. m. the citizens of
Blountsville assembled In the chapel of
the new college. There was music and
recitations by the students, after which
speeches were made by Revs. Glassgow,
Jones and llyars; also by Captain Fields,
who made the opening address, and at Its
rlose presented to Mr. Pulse a beautiful
overcoat as a token of appreciation for
his faithful work. Mr. Pulse replied In
a short speech, which was cheered to
the echo.
The school opened this morning in the
new building. The school has now In
dally attendance between 225 and 250 pu
pils. _ _

.MME. CECILIA EPPINGHOUSOT BAILEY’S
Grand Concert—The Club's Third Entertain
ment at Seals Bros.’ Hall December 10.
The Birmingham Music club's third en
tertainment will be given at Seals Bros.'
hall Tuesday evening. December 10. Mme.
Cecilia Epplnghousen Bailey’s grand con
cert company will be the attraction. The
following is from the Press-Transcript,
Lexington, Ky.:
Mme. Cecilia Epplnghousen Bailey cap
tivated her audience swiftly' and com
pletely. She is one of the rare number of
women who have been blessed by a par
tial fate with beauty, grace, charm, Intel
lect and voice. Not only is her voice ope
of peculiar quality, possessing beauty
and an exquisitely sympathetic power,
but also her dramatic talent Is remarka
ble; it Is evidently innate, and has been
brought by study and training to a re
sistless point of excellence.
The first effect of her appearance upon
an audience must always be one of great
feminine beauty.
Each number she sang was greeted at
its close with a storm of applause that
called the fair singer back without time
for rest between.
The "Angels' Serenade” was very love
ly with both piano and vloUncello accom
paniment. The former was beautifully
played by Miss Dolly Williams.
As during the exposition. Mme. Bailey
charmed and delighted her audience with
loveliness of face and voice, and charm
and grace of manner.
As Marguerite she captured all hearts,
as her talent was best and most fully
manifested In the beautiful and graceful
jewel song from “Faust." She is the
most delightful attraction that has ever
yet appeared on our Chautauqua pro
gramme.
The Chicago 400 says; Miss Bertha Ep
pinghousen. who made a pronounced hit
as Poleska in "A Russian Honeymoon,”
is talented and beautiful. Neither Lily
Langtry nor Mrs. James Brown Potter
ever equaled her ravishing beauty and
stage chic in their halcyon days.

ECHOES OF THE PRESS.
Time Enough to Set Up One Apiece.
The Advertiser's candidate for govern
or has not yet materialized. But he will
be forthcoming, we dare say. There Is
time enough yet for all to get out a can
didate apiece and have a ffooil, 'ljvely
time of It, you know.—Randolph Leader,
* * *
Because He Favors Free Coinage.
The Montgomery Advertiser labors to
prove that the financial question should
be ignored—have no place In the state
campaign—and in the same Issue writes
factional articles against Captain John
ston's nomination for governor solely be
cause he is in favor of free coinage. Oh,
. onslRtency, etc.—Hamilton News-Press.
m * m
Hit Them With a Brick.
Not only here In Alabama, but from
democrats In Washington comes the cry,
we must have harmony. It is, Indeed,
the most essential element to democratic
success both In the coming state and na
tional elections. Let the man who op
poses harmony and victory be shot In
the mouth with a brickbat.—Randolph
Leader.
• • •
Harmony Is the Watchword.
Every true democrat should strive to
cause peace and harmony to prevail In
the party next year. As for the Sun. we
will cheerfully support Captain Johnston
or any other good democrat selected by
the party in convention. We would pre
fer that we have no factional fight. We
do not believe the Advertiser's course a
wise one for the party to pursue.—La
Fayette Sun.
• • •
Will Make Their Preference Felt.
It Is manifest that the Montgomery Ad
vertiser will risk everything, suffer any
thing, rather than have Johnston for
governor. Happily the great masses of
the democratic party not only do not
have any such spirit, but they regard
Johnston as preeminently fitted for gov
ernor of Alabama, and they will make
their oreference for him felt.—Hunts
ville Argus.
* • •
Moving Quietly Along for Johnston.
We have not much political talk for
our readers this week, nor do we promise
much In future. We have long believed
that too much politics Is the bane of the
country. The present session of con
gress will very probably be a political
session, devoted exclusively to president
making Instead of business. We desire,
to remark, however, that the people of
Alabama seem to be moving along quiet
ly getting ready to make Captain John
ston governor next year, while the Mont
gomery Advertiser, Mobile Register and
other small fry of that persuasion are
just tearing their hair of pure vexation.
—Fort Payne Journal.
Not Consistent.
The single standard papers profess
that they want harmony in the demo
cratic ranks and use stieh quotations as
“united we stand, divided we fail,” etc.,
and say that “democrats must stand to
gether shoulder to shoulder under the
leadership of our ablest statesmen and
march over the breastworks of our op
ponents to victory.” Now this is ail true
and reads well, but in nearly every issue
of these papers we find a bitter, factional
opposition to the candidacy of Captain
Jolinston for governor. Captain John
ston is an able statesman, a pure demo
crat. and has spent the best part of his
manhood in battling for the democracy
of Alabama, and if the newspapers are
in earnest about harmony and desire the
welfare of the party, let them cease theii*
unreasonable opposition to Captain
Johnston. Let their actions comport
with their words upon the question of
harmony.—Hamilton News-Press.
• • •
Why Fight Johnston?
The Montgomery Advertiser and Mo
bile Register, it seems to us, are wholly
inconsistent in their factional opposition
to the candidacy of Capt. Joseph P. John
ston befort the democratic convention
for the office of governor, unless they are
determined to let their prejudices on the
financial question outweigh their loyalty
to the democratic party. Captain John
ston's democracy has never been ques
tioned. His friends have announced his
name as a candidate for the nomination
and he has given his assent and may be
considered as having entered actively
into the campaign. We have not heard
of any other democrat who proposes to
contest the nomination with him; still
these journals oppose his nomination
solely because he differs from them upon
the silver question, and insist that they
will see that a "sound money” candidate
Is found to defeat him. If you are dem
ocrats, gentlemen, why fight Captain
Johnston, at least until some other <dem
ocrat Indicates a willingness to contest
the nomination with him?—Hamilton
News-Press.
« • •
The Advertiser Desperate.
We are sorry for the Advertiser. Some
country papers, not having any opinion
of their own,have been in the habit of fol
lowing blindly the lead of the Advertiser.
Of this Influence the Advertiser was
proud. It was derived chiefly from Its
central position at the capital of the state
—the headquarters of political news. Ow
ing to Increased facilities for obtaining
information, the country papers are be
ginning to think for themselves. Hence
the Advertiser has Inst much of Its In
fluence. The consequence Is that paper
ip growing desperate, and is now making
strenuous efforts to regatn Us lost power.
It has covered Us face, savage-like, with
war paint, and wants to fight—fight to
a finish. Yes, It wants to rally Its scat
tered forces and return to the charge—
not on the same old battlefield from
which It has been whipped, but on a dif
ferent field. It Is endeavoring now to
inaugurate a guerrilla warfare.
In an editorial last week It asks a num
ber of questions of Captain Johnston.
The copy of the paper containing the
questions has been mislaid, otherwise we
would gladly copy them here.
There are two questions which we de
sire to ask the Advertiser, and to each
of which we hope to receive a categorical
answer.
First—Suppose that Captain Johnston
should answer even' one of the ques
tions asked by the Advertiser to Its sat
isfaction. would the Advertiser then sup
port Captain Johr.ston for the nomina
tion?
Second—Will the Advertiser support
for the nomination any man who advo
cates free coinage?—Opelika News.

Tb9 Kind We Need.
The democratic members of the house
of representatives met In caucus and
unanimously voted for Ex-Speaker Crisp
for re-election to the third office In Im
portance in this government. Gold
standard men and advocates of silver
as a Joint standard with gpld voted alike
for tills able advocate of the free coin
age of silver at 16 to 1. Of course, some
will say that the honor conferred waq an
empty one, as the republicans have an
overwhelming majority of the house.
But the principle Is the same, and if the
house had been democratic Mr. Crisp
would have been the speaker Hls abil
ity and hls fairness would have out
weighed any objection the gold standard
members had. And yet, down here In
Alabama, where a governor has less com
trol over national finances than a one
bale cotton producer has over the price
of the great staple, we are told by a lit
tle clique of rule or ruin amateur states
men that Alabama will be wrecked be
yond all hope of recovery If Joe Johnston
Is made our democratic nominee. John
ston Is a man of ability and fairness, like
Crisp. Moreover he Is a man of firmness
and excellent business qualifications. He
Is the kind of man Alabama needs to
have for governor at the earliest oppor
turity. 1*3 iifie a familiar phi few- from
Charles Dickens, there is no “bigod non
sense” about Johnston. As governor he
would go about his duties in a practical
way. He would make a profitable gov
ernor for the state of Alabama.—Hunts
ville Argus.

The Populists in the Senate.
New Orleans Picayune.
It appears that, however great may
be the republicans' majority In the house,
they will not be able to dominate the sen
ate.
The six populist senators—Allen of Ne
braska, Kyle of South Dakota, Butler of
North Carolina, Peffer ot Kansas and
Jones and Stewart of Nevada—have re
solved to act together In all strictly par
ty questions, and not to give aid to eith
er of the old parties.
Under these circumstances the fepub
lleans lack three of a majority, and even
should two republicans from Utah be ad
mitted they will be one short of the con
trol of the senate. The populists, thus
holding a balance of power, will be able
to gain a good many concessions from
those who may wish to use them.
