CONVENTION MEETS TODAY

The flight of the politicians was towards Montgomery yesterday and it was inter- esting. Chairman Robert J. Lowe and Secretary Nathan L. Miller, of the state democratic committee, together with many other men of note, went down by the early morning trains of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad; but the majority of the Jef- ferson delegation to the state convention left Birmingham by the regular afternoon train, timed to leave here at 4 o'clock. They traveled in a special car, the regular train being too crowded to accommodate them. Many men of consequence not dele gates journeyed to the capital by the same train. So it is, safe to say that there are 200 citizens of Jefferson in Montgomery this morning.

 Sheriff O'Brien
 Sheriff O'Brien will be unable to attend the convention, owing to the disturbed con- dition of affairs at Dolomite. In view of possible serious developments at Dolomite, the sheriff does not deem it prudent for himself to be absent from the county. Sheriff O'Brien is exceedingly sorry that he can't be in Montgomery.
