GOVERNOR MAKES
 AN APPOINTMENT Names Commissioner for Swamp
 Overflow Lands w. M. BYRD THE LUCKY MAN Ills Headquarters Will be in Washing ton--The Famous Grays Will
 Enter Military Drill at
 the State Fair
w. M. BYRD THE LUCKY MAN

Montgomery, October N.-(SpeciaL)-W. M. Byrd of Birmingham has been appointed commissioner for the sale of the swamp and overflow lands in Alabama,
 Few Alabamians are familiar with the history of these lands yet it occupies many pages in the States records; but there has always been more or less of complication connected herewith.
 Congress under act of September S, lS5O, donated to the State of Alabama swamp and overfiowed lands, and while the State had large quantity set apart it has been claimed that the State was still entitled to still other swamp and overflowed lands, and certain sums of money received by the United States for lands sold in Alabama, which really come under the head of swamp and overflowed lands.
 The Governor under advice of the Attor- ney General that the law authorizing the appointment of an agent is still in force, and that the agents heretofore appointed have long since died or resigned and that there is necessity for new agent, yester- day appointed MT. Byrd to the position.
 MT. Byrd during the whole of MT. Cleve- lands second term and for quite while during the present administration held a high position in the legal branch of the Interior Department at Washington, which dealt solely with land laws. He is thor oughly equipped for the position
 MT. Byrd's headquarters will be in Mont gomery and Washington.

One entire section of the city, 1t Is alleged, was not visited by the census men.

Hum phrey, county superintendent of education, and Prof. w. J. Humphrey, assistant prin- cipal of the city school
 The executive committee of the Chamber of Commerce held a meeting today and drafted a memorial to the Secretary of the Interior commenting the hydrographic work that has been done in this State dur ing the past year and asking that the work be continued and increased.
