A GREAT HAUL.
A Negro Dance Hall Was Raided Last
Night and Thirty Jewellers Were
Taken to Jail

Last night at 1920 O'Clock Chief Nc
Donald, Captain Weir and Officers Dish
| groom, Goggan. Kirkley. Scott Mcknight
and Mcdonald raided the dance hall kept
by J. C. Huey on Twsnty-fourth street,
between Avenues B and c. The place
has been under careful watch for some
time and last night was considered a
good time to pull it.
The officers under the directions of
Chief Mcdonald and Captain Weir were
stationed at the exits to prevent any
of the inmates from escaping and the
patrol wagon called. Three trips were
made by the wagon before the last ma n
had been taken to Jail The first and
second loads had seven women and four
men each, while the last load was COM
posed Of three women and five men, a
sum total Of thirty prisoners. Not one
y the inmates of the dance hall escaped.
A charge of vagfancy was entered
against each one of them and an add
tional charge CT "lewd women WISHING
saloon premises" made against the fe-
males Warrants VIII be sworn out to-
day against each one
The building in which the negroes were
arrested has answered the purpose OF
dwelling house. saloon, negro church, sa-
loon and dance hall. j. c. Huey, white
man, conducts a beer saloon in the front
room and the dance hall in the rear.
Chief Mcdonald was we'll pleased with
the successful haul and said that he con-
sidered all such dance halls the greatest
cess pools of iniquity in existence and
would not permit them to be conducted in
this city. Such places are the cause OF
nearly all of the highway robberies and
other crimes.
Huey had been warned by Chief Nc
Donald to abate the nuisance sometime
ago and told that if he did not do SO the
place would be closed
With the arrival of the last prisoner
Warden Garner stated that 167 people
were in the prison ard that the ''sta ndtng
room only" sign would be displayed.

STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The state democratic executive com
mlttee meets in Montgomery today
to take action on who are ELI
gible to participate in local democratic
primaries. The meeting is held in defer
ence to an appeal from the city of Mo-
bile soon to elect city officers. Just what
action the committee will take remains
tie be seen, as nothing has been given out.
Some of the state papers have urged that
the committee keep hands off; that 1t is
q local matter, and ought TO be settled
locally. Others Insist that 1t is the duty
of the committee to take decisive and
firm stand. There is one feature upon
which nearly all of the democratic press
of the state have agreed, and that
is that the committee should recognize
no voter as eligible to vote in the party
primaries who is unwilling to pledge him
self to support the ticket nominated from
head to tail. No reasonable, honest man
of any political party whatsoever will
knowingly go into a primary with pur-
pose not to abide the result in case his
favorite candidate is not nominated, and
those who are not honest ought not to be
allowed in.
There are contingencies, however that
should cause the committee to act wisely
and discreetly in their deliberations
this is an off year sn politics, and the
shrewdest politician cannot foresee what
issues may arise two years from now
that might tangle the web the committee
may now weave.

ties than Huntsville, as it now stands.
"2. The number of counties in the
Huntsville district is the minimum num-
Der of counties to make business enough
to retain and conduct a court of dignity.
"3. The aIbolition of the United States
court at Huntsville is of course not con-
templated, yet to dismember is to de-
stroy the district in part, and threatens
the existence of a necessary region. The
United States has just erected splen-
did structure at Huntsville.
81 Railway facilities from Marion to
Huntsville are equally as good as to Biz
change of cars, and the distance is equal,
perhaps a difference of ten miles from
the body Of the county.
SO. The people of Marion county ac-
customed to attend court at Huntsville
and have been from time immemorial
and are content so to do.
IS. The officials at Birmingham would
be benefited by augmented fees, and
those at Huntsville be unjustly injured
by a decrease of fees. and perhaps to a
point below the aspirations of compe-
tent men.
az No good reason can be shown for
the change and in devolves upon those
proposing a ACKNOWLEDGMENT to show a
good reason for the same, meanwhile the
presumption is that former congress
made an equitable appointment.
So. The effort to dismember is a good
specimen of the modern spirit of GEN.
tralization, and the populous centers.
The present appointment is just dis
tribution of power and local government.
80. Our protest emanates from a just
and proper civic pride in preserving our
established order, and institution"
The attorneys and court officials are
aroused and will do everything possible
to Illustrate what is considered a scheme
of the greedy Birmingham district. So
far as known here, there is no reason
why Marion county should be detached
from the Northern division.
Mr.. James H. Branch, a leading at
torney, said last night: This is not a
big enough thingto make any fuss about,
but the proposition is clearly an effront
to us. 1t is wrong in principle and might
lead to the detaching of other counties.
While we might survive the loss of Ma
rion county it might cripple the federal
court of the northern division and event.
ually lead to its abolition. 1t is true that
| the court Is somewhat of a nuisance, but
| the people who are brought to town at
| the sessions spend q good deal of money
and make the court very desirable
| thing to have. On general principles we
| cannot afford to lose anything we have
| got"
The petition has been circulated over
! the city and is receiving the signatures of
| almost every person to whom it was pre-
| scented. Marion county will not be de-
| tached from the Northern division until
| a hard fight for its retention has proven
unsuccessful.

NATIONAL PARK az v1cKsBuRa

NATIONAL PARK AT vIcKsBURG.
Gen. Stephen d. Lee is urging upon
congress the establishment of a national
military park at vicksburg. He says the
siege of Vicksburg was one of the great
est of modern times. Grant had over IT,
900 men. He had 220 guns on the land
side and fleet in the river. The cam
paign leading up to the capitulation Of
vicksburg was one of the most brilliant
in the whole history of the war. The
seige continued for forty-seven days and
nights. Inside the city were $1,000 con-
federates. For twenty days they lived
on half rations and then on mule meat.
The army which Grant captured at
Vicksburg was the largest army taken in
modern warfare, save at Sedan. The
surrender of Vieksburg cut the confed-
eracy in two. Vicksburg and Gettys-
burg came the same day, and after that
the result of the conflict was never in
doubt The south joins with the north
in asking congress to create national
park at yicksburg, as monument to
American manhood

standpoint IL undertaken IN the right
spirit can be accomplished.
1t is not necessary to refrain from agi-
Eating new Issues or to refuse to take a
position on any question of public policy
that may arise, to bring about the best
results. but rather the contrary. That
which cannot stand the light of public
opinion and public discussion has no
place in the affairs of life, and the quicker
it is exterminated the better. But in the
discussion of these questions. and the
letting in of the light, 1t should be done
with that degree of conservatism that
will leave no personal wounds to heal,
which Outlines become incurable. and
like the viper awaits in its coil to take
advantage of the first opportunity to
sink its fangs into its antagonist when
least expected, even at the cost of its own
determination.
Birmingham has turned her face to
the front again, and our people are de-
sirous of putting forward their best en-
orgies in the building up and developing
the material interests of the city, and
while every man of intelligence accedes
to the proposition that there win always
be a division of sentiment as to the man
ner and means of local self-government,
at the same time all issues can be handled
in a way so as to prevent personal bit
terness and local strife.
