sentation at the polls to any candidate ex- cept the ones belonging to their faction. It was most outrageous attempt at dis franchisement.
 At that time the sound money men and populists each had separate organizations in Lee, but being vitally interested fin the constitutional convention, and recognizing the fact that 1t would be best to settle all differences inside the democratic organiza- tion, they abandoned their separate organf- zation and decided to accept the invita- ton of the state committee, which invited all ito vote who would support the prici- pies and nominees of the democratic party, regardless of past political affiliations. This invitation was accepted in absolute good faith.
 When the Johnston central committee heard of their decision ito vote, they met and reiterated their determination that they should not vote. They did vote, however. demanded and obtained representation at the polls at most of the precincts, carried the county overwhelmingly, polling over two thirds of the votes and electing 107 out of 134 delegaes to the county convention. One of the most harmonious and represen- tative conventions that ever met in Lee county was held. There was much indigna- tion among the delegates on account of the Johnston machine attempting their dis- franchisement, and there was strong sen- timent to reorganize the executive commit- tee, but after consultation, in the Interest of harmony, it was decided to increase the membership of the committee from one to three in each beat, thus giving the sound money men and populists representation on the committee, which was eminently fair and just, as each faction had just about one-t third of the white vote of the county. This was the unanimous action of the convention, the thirty-four Johnston delegates fin 1t voting for it. It was per- fectly satisfactory, and reunited and har- monized the democracy of Lee.
 Last Saturday the original Johnston men on the committee who attempted the dis franchisement of two-thirds of their fellow democrats last spring, held a secret meet ing here and repudiated the action of the democratic convention, and determined to exclude the new members of the comit- tee. No notice of the meeting had been published, and they were as silent as the grave about it until the meeting was held. None of the excluded members was present to demand admission, as no notice had been given. They then adjourned without call ing primary or convention, and it is re- ported they will refuse Ito cali one. They know the county is overwhelmingly for Morgan, and they hope If no nomination Is made that they can elect their candidates with tine negro vote, and they would be ad- mitlted to the caucus.
 Their attempt at disfranchisenent last spring resulted most disastroIsIy for them, and so will this result at ostracism. Our people will have a primary or convention, and wim vote and have representation at the polls. Such outrageous actione show the desperation of the Johnston pie ma chine The Morgan men want no advan- tage from the machines All they ask is a

Appointed Adjutant General

In 1886 he was appointed adjutant gen. eral of the state, and in the same year the University of Alabama conferred upon him the degree of master of arts.
 Colonel Roquemore was married twice. In 1867 he welded Miss Mary L. Hunter, of Eufaula. She died, leaving five children, -four of whom are living, the eldest of which, Hunter, is member of the pres- ent law firm of Roquemore & Roquemore. Colonel Roquemore's second wife was Miss Henrietta L. Brown, of Boston, whom he married in 1887. Three children were born of this union.
 Colonel Roquemore made his contest for poistion and for honor among men with out in any measure sacrificing the finer qualities so often lost in the hard and selfish battles of the world. He was a man of quiet manners, but courtly address. He knew nothing in his treatment of men of difference in rank; to high and low alike he was uniformly civil, with the civility of the wel-bred gentleman. He was cul- tured and well-read, but carried his &C., compdshments for the strength that they gave him, and not for display. In all things with him the character bespoke the man of unaffected simplicity and straigllt- forwardness of purpose, a gentleness that was gentle with the weak but capable of being aroused and discovering in the gloved hand a grasp of steel. He was universally admired and leaves a charming family.
