Mr. ]. A. Rountree then offered the fol-

Whereas, the people of Alabama are de-
manding that a constitutional convention
for Alabama be called, therefore, be it re-
solved:
"That we, the Alabama Commercial and

Resolved, second, by the association of
delegates here representing the several

petition the next Legislature of the state to
enact law for holding said convention.

For the Public Schools

DR.. w. B. Phillips offered the following
resolutions: '"That it is the sense of the
Alabama Commercial and Industrial asso-
citation that the Alabama legislature should
greatly increase the appropriation for the
maintenance of public schools"
DR.. ]. H. Phillips spoke in behalf of the
resolution and referred to the position that
Alabama occupied among the iliterate
states of the union. "Only two states,' he
said "are more illiterate and both have or
adopt new constitutions which will place
Alabama at the foot of the class, contest
ing with New Mexico for the last place."
He made an earnest appeal for the resolu-
ton which was adopted.

There are always plenty to cruclfy

But there Is a man In the city who
has Just been discharged from the

went to a neighbours and stayed,
returning TO Salem Sunday
where a reporter found him
at Major Downs lodging house. He
says he was a sailor for twenty years.
Is now So years old, and that he frus-
trated an effort TO kill either Supt.
Gilbert or Warden Brophy. Five life
term men had formed a conspiracy to
commit the crime but he prevailed on
them not TO do 80. Their purpose he
alleges was 10 sacrifice one man who
would be hung or killed 10 order that
the other might get q chance To
testify In court as TO the abuses prac
tlced in the prison.
Mr.. Elliot has written a large
number OF patriotic poems, some OF
which haYe appeared In the daily
