Louis Keipp Grows Despondent and
 Swallows Morphine

Selma, March 21.-(Special)-About 5 o'clock this evening, Louis Kepp, a young white man, took a dose of morphine at his fathers house, from which he died shortly after o'clock. MT.

LEE COUNTY CONVENTION
Candidates Are Making Preparations
 Johnston Men Are in Minority

Opelika, March 2.-(Special.)- l.)-Prepara- tions are being made by the different candi- dates for the convention which was called for April II by the Lee county democratic executive committee.
 Tn said convention beat 1 will have six delegates; beat 2, thirty-four delegates; beat 3, eight delegates; beat 1, five dele gates; beat 5, eight delegates; beat 6, hf- teen delegates; beat T. ten delegates; beat s. ten delegates; beat g. five delegates; beat 10, nineteen delegates; beat Il, six dele gates; beat 12, five delegates; beat 13, five delegates, and beat II, six delegates.
 It is thought the Johnston minority will take some action now. If they will call a fair primary or convention, as ordered by the democratic state executive committee, the Morgan men will still be willing 10 par ticipate. They know the county Is for Nor gan. and all they demand is a fair express sion of the sentiments of the people.
 The convention called will send delega- tions to the state and senatorial conven- tions, nominate two members of the legis- lature, nominate full ticket and elect new executive committee. The greatest harmony prevailed today.
 The matter may get before the state com mittee, but the Morgan men have no ap- prelhension of the result.
 The efforts of the Johnston men to ex- clude Morgan men from the committee sig nally failed and provoked amusement. The Johnston men are badly in the minority.
