"
The general committee on the forma-
tIon of a new city charter succeeded in
getting bare quorum last evening. af-
ter waiting long after the hour set for
the meeting. OF the sixteen members
OF the committee the following were
present: Dr. R. W. Hazlett. chairman.
and Messrs. PAUL, o'Bren. Klelves,
Lutz, waterhouse. Hamilton and Bod
ley.
The FIRST business considered was the
report of the subcommittee, stating
that they had chosen Mr.. William Frs
kline attorney Of the committee. and in
this connection Chairman Hazlett read
a statement OF Mr.. Erskine's In regard
to the compensation. Mr.. Ersklne
stated that he could not fix definitely on
n sum for the reason that It was impos-
sible to determine at this time the
amount OF work to be done. The lowest
estimate would be from $500 to $500; and
the maximum $500, including the ser
vices Of q stenographer and type writer.
He said that perhaps 1t would not re-
Quire all OF $500. He fixed his services
at the rate OF $12 per day. and II was
owing to the character and amount OF
work whether the maximum sum would
be sufficient, or whether 1t would fall
under that amount.
The amount appropriated by council
for this work vas only 5000, and the
committee realized Mt once that the sum
was not sufficient for going on with SAe
work Quite a discussion arose between
Colonel O'Brien. N. G. Hamilton, Alfred
PAUL and John Waterfiouse as to the
proprIety OF asking council for an addl-
uonal appropriation, Colonel O'Brlen
stating that he opposed such action on
the ground that 1t would look like the
committee asking council to continue 1t
Mr.. WaterhouSe introduced reSolu-
ton informing council that the work Of
the committee would have to be aban-
doned unless the appropriation was In
creased TO $500 or $1,000. After some
debate Mr.. Waterhouse withdrew this
resolution and offered another which in
substance informed council Of the Sc
lection of Mr.. Ersklne as attorney for
the committee, and that the appropria-
ton made was not sufficient for the
needs Of the committee. and submitted
the communication of Mr.. Ersklne as an
explanation Of the situation. This
seemed to reconcile all the differences
Of the committee, and 1t was adopted
unanimously. The committee then adj
journed to meet at the call Of the chair
man.

dignation swept over the county, not
alone confined to the Johnston support
ers. Old men who had voted the demo-
cratic ticket for thirty years and young
men who had never scratched a ticket
denounced it as a. high-handed and I'M
heard of proceeding among democrats,
and most appropriately resented the in
suit by refusing to participate in or have
anything to do with the meetings. The
result of 1t all was that over 1000 demo-
Gratis in Henry county had no voice in the
fsrclcaI meetings that were held at sew
eral places in this county. notably at
Dothan, and Johnston had many more
friends here after, than before. In Able
Vile beat, Governor Oates own beat,
1t is reported that he advised and urged
the committeeman there to dispense with
the structure, stating that under the use
of such methods the county's delegation
would not be accorded seats in the state
convention. 1t was there abandoned, and
the beat went for Johnston, as almost
every other beat in the county would
have gone had the same course been
pursued as at Abbeville. 1t is conceded
here by some of the Clarke supporters
that even Dothan beat would have gone
for Johnston Some of the best polti
clans in tho beat on both sides are now of
the same opinion.
The county convention will be held
here tomorrow, when the Johnston beats
will have about 80 of the 80 delegates in
the convention. Should the methods used
in this county to defeat Captain john
ston go by uncontested, the delegation
to Montgomery will go up for Clarke.
Nevertheless Johnston will be the nomi-
nee, and in proportion to her population
no county will give him a larger ma ority
in August than Henry.

Death of Charles e. Louis.
Information has been received of the
death by suicide of Charles e. Louis Of
this city at Danville, Ill. Mr.. Louis had
been a resident of this city for several
years and up to a year ago was the head
bookkeeper in one of the largest whole
sale houses in this city. About that time
he became interested in the lyceum lee
ture course, and, his position as office
man becoming too combining, he decided
to take charge of the lecture course in
this city, and for the past year he had
devoted his whole time to that enter
prise. About year ago he wrote a
pretty little comedy drama entitled Mr.
Valentines Christmas Dinner" which
Sol Smith Russell took and used most
effectively as a curtain raiser, the play
being only one act. Two months ago his
health began to fail and he decided to
go to Illinois, hoping that the change
would benefit him. For the past week
or two friends here had been receiving
letters from him which indicated that he
was quite gloomy and respondent, and

Alec, April 15.-(Special 1.-The primary
held in Brewton last Saturday was the
largest ever held in this county. Both the
Johnston and Clarke forces worked hard
for their favorite but it was clear to ev-
eryone Saturday morning that Johnston
would win. The Johnston club. which
was organized in Alec a month ago, and
afterwards consolidate with the Brew
ton Beat Johnston club, was composed of
some of the best workers in this section
of the state. From a membership of
twenty-eight 1t continued to grow until 1t
had reached fully It's. 1t was a grand vic
tory for the club, as they had all the bus
mess men to contend with, and had 1t not
been for the Alec wing of the club Es-

ceptions.
Capt. c. s. Lee, who fought for John

The Extra Resolutions Lost the County to

Dothan, April 15.-(Special.)-Now that
the smoke of battle has cleared away, it
is we'll that the public be informed as
to what occurred in Henry to carry the
county for Clarke. Early last week the
chairman of the county committee as
sembled by call quorum of the commit

ers who participated in the beat meet
ings or primaries to sign pledge to sup
port the nominees in the county, state
and national elections in August and No
vember, and to support the platforms to
be made by the county, state and nation
al conventions. The resolution was pass
ed by the committee, and was not gener-
ally known until its publication in the
local newspapers issued on Thursday.
Many democrats living in the country
did not hear of it until Friday and Satur-
day, the day for holding the beat meet
ings. As soon as it was known what
desperate methods had been resorted to

they wrote him. telling him to come back

Spouse to these letters he wrote that he
would reach here last Sunday evening.
When he failed to come it was supposed
that he was sick or that he was on a visit

the news of his suicide was great shock
to his friends here. Dependency on ae-
