MAY CHANGE THE DATE.
Chairman Carter Says the Disaster at St. Louis Will Defer the Republican Convention
 Month, Perhaps.

Washington, May 2S.-Should later and more accurate information corroborate the earlier news from St. Louis it is prob- able that the date of the national republi- can convention will be changed.
 "I learn from the United Press dis patches this morning. said Chairman Carter of the national republican com mittee, "that the damage to the conyen- tion hall is not so serious as at first re- ported. It is said that portion of the roof was blown off and that the side walls were in a few places penetrated by flying missiles, causing some disarrangement F of the interior. The statement is made that all this can and will be repaired within the next ten days. The national committee has full power in the premises and can change the date of the conven- tion if circumstances justify it. Nothing will be done, however, until l get abso- lutely accurate information. If this in- formation suggests the advisability of postponing the convention I shall tele- graph each member of the committee and act at the earliest possible moment. Should change of date be decided upon it would probably be fixed for the 18th of July. just one month later than the pres ent date. I expect to be able to deal with the subject intelligently by night
 Chairman Carter also said that possi- bly considerations other than the mere wrecking of the hall would influence the committee. Whether or not the hotels, in view of the general wrecking of build ings, would be able to take care of the crowds, and the question of the ability of the railroads to properly handle the traffic would be considered.
 MT. Carter also suggested that If the city was within the next ten days to be turned into vast funeral procession and thrown into general mourning over hundreds of victims of this appalling dis aster, it would be wise, perhaps, not to thrust upon 1t a political convention with all its excitement and enthusiasm It is quite probable, therefore, that the date of the convention may be changed unless later news puts different color ing to the reports so far received from the stricken city.

SINGULARLY SAD DEATH.
Wife on the Way to Mothers Bedside Is Blinded and Falls Corpse Into Hus-
 bands Arms.

Luverne, May 2S.-(Speclal.)-A very sad death of @ most estimable lady oc- cured near here yesterday under cir cumstances that were indeed heartrend- ing. Mrs. Alex Dorman, wife of one of our leading farmers, has been danger ously sick for several days Tuesday word was sent to her daughter, Mrs. Charles Coson, who lives near Brantley, in this county. to go to see her mother. MT. Coson started immediately with his wife, and when within one-half mile of MT. Dorman's Mrs. Coson informed her husband that a sudden blindness had taken possession of her and she fell into his arms corpse. MT. and Mrs. Coson were married last January, and she was very popular young woman. loved and cherished by all who knew her. MT. Co., sons was a terrible ride to the residence of his wife's people, with her corpse in his arms. The shock on Mrs. Dorman when the dead body of her daughter ar rived was dreadful and little hope is now entertained for her recovery

IT IS DECLARED OFF.
The Southern States Exposition at Chicago Has Been Abandoned for the Sufficient
 Reasons Given.

Augusta, Ga. May 2S.-The proposed Southern State exposition is abandoned because the SO h did not respond in ac- cordance with the terms of the agree ment entered into at Chicago-that nine states should be represented. South Car olina, Georgia and Alabama would have been ready in time. Maryland applied for space. The Southern railway, the Mobile and Ohio and other roads had also ap- piled for space. These roads would have secured exhibits from half a dozen more states, but this would not have been a compliance with the agreement.
 The depressed condition of business rendered it impossible to secure favorable action in Virginia North Carolina Flori- da, Mississippi and other states.
 Under the circumstances the southern advisory board, which met in this city, declared the exposition off. The chair man was authorized to make the follow ing announcement which will be received with regret by the friends of southern de- velopment, who appreciate the generous offer made by Chicago and who believe in cultivating trade relations between the citizens of the south and the northwest:
 "The advisory board of the Southern States Exposition company met in Au- gusta this morning and declared the proposed exposition off, for the reason that a sufficient number O. states had not responded in accordance with the agreement entered into in Chicago in February last. This Is to be regretted, because of the liberal offer by Chicago and the great opportunity which the ex- position would present to advertise the south. The advisory board feels that the provisional committee of Chicago has compiled with it's agreement and ex- presses the earnest hope that southern exposition will be held in that city in the not distant future. Respectfully,
 PATRICK WALSH, Chairman.
 The sentiment survives that the south ern exposition at Chicago is deferred, but not abandoned. Under favorable condi- tions the south will be glad to accept a similar proposition from the public spirit ed citizens of Chicago, and be able to carry through successfully a southern states exposition at the metropolis of the great northwest.

Pie for the Lawyers.

TuSkalooSa Gazette.
 A decision was rendered in the su- preme court last week on the suit of the Childress heirs vs. Rosenau and others. a celebrated cause that has excited con- siderable interest in legal circles of late.
 The question involves the title to a large tract of land lying on the north side of University avenue, and which former ly belonged to Mrs. J. B. Read. The land in dispute has passed through several hands, has been cut up into various lots, etc., and the suit has made a number of people very active. The tract comprises the Sid Leach place, now occupied by MT. H. Rosenau, H. Pepe's former cot tage and several ordinary houses.
 It turns out that Mrs. Read had only g. life estate in this property, and her in- terest reverted back to the Childress heirs at her death. Her deeds could only carry her interest, and so these heirs began suit for the property against its present owners.
 It was tried in the circuit court and the heirs won their case. It was, how ever appealed to the supreme court and the decision has been awaited with great interest.
 The supreme court affirms the decision of the lower court and the Childress heirs will get the property.
 This probably will result in whole network of lawsuits. each successive owner of the property going back to his or her grantor. Of course somebody will be left with the bag to hold, and it is probable that persons In taking deeds hereafter will require an abstract of ti- tie running back to the time of Noah.

STATE POLITICS.
White Men Are Beginning to Scurry Across the Color Lne-The Outlook is
 Inspiriting. M 5W

Greenville,s May 2S.-(Special)-The democratic executive committee of the Seventeenth district has called the sena- terial convention to meet in Greenville on June 15 to nominate candidate for sena- tor. Butler, Covinston and Conecuh are counties composing the district.
 The registration In this county IS re- ported fuller than ever before. There were 200 more registered in this beat than ever before.
 Capt. J. R. Porterheld the efficient chairman of the democratic executive committee of this county, has been untir- ing in his efforts to have every demo- crat in the county register and has met with marked success in his efforts.
 The executive committee of this county, at its meeting here last week, acted wisely in passing a resolution inviting all white men to take part in sending delegates to the county convention. There is a determination very manifest on the part of democrats all over this section that reminds an old stager very much of that which was shown in the campaign that elected Houston. The white people of the wire grass are not going to be yoked with the negro in poli- tics by Goodwin and his associates nor any one else.
 It is said that Ike Carter colored, is to make the race for congress In the Second district. Wonder if there is to be any fusion on this candidate?
 We want to again commend the State Herald for it's manly fight for the white people and democracy, and we are glad to see 1t announced by the new man. agement that they intend it to be the leading paper of the south The people of Alabama already owe 1t success.
 Democrats all approve of Captain John- ston's rebuke to Goodwin. Goodwin Is more apt to get notoriety than fame in this campaign.

Did the Right Thing.
Eufaula Times.


 Captain Johnston did the right thing He did just as we begged him to do. He resents Goodwyn's impertinence and lack of decency, but tells him he can get the joint debate he pretends to be looking for. He suggests that he couch his challenge in respectful language and he will be cer- tain to get a favorable reply. This posi- ton of Captain Johnston meets the ap- proval of this newspaper. It is just as we would have it. Now, if Goodwin thinks he is man of some caliber, he has an opportunity to get at the red headed rooster. The note of Captain Johnston was handed MT. Dean of the pop committee on May 15 and more than ten days has elapsed and the captain Is not yet in receipt of MT. Goodwyns re- ply. He may not get it at all But we hope he will.
