Garber is one of the most intellectual of the young members of the bar of the State and man of command ing and pleasing personality, he is all ways popular at a gathering of leading public men. MT.

YOUNG WIcooNToN RELEASED Shot and Killed Frank Jenklns-othef
 News from Athens.

Athens, uly -0SpeciaD-WaIton Wig ginton, who shot and killed Frank Jen- kins at Pleasant Point church, in this county, last Sunday, has surrendered to his uncle, Sheriff Puryear, whos at once locked him up pending the preliminary trial. No one came forward to swear out a warrant for him and having no au- thority to hold him longer, he was this morning given his liberty.
 The four negroes who broke up picnic near Rowland by killing one of their race, have been arrested on a charge of murder, sworn out against them by son of the murdered man.
 Athens and surrounding country Is re- joicing over delightful rain, the first in several weeks, and it comes just in time to save the corn crop and to great ly help the cotton. Early gardens were all burnt up but the people are replant- ing and hope to have a fall garden. The young shade trees about Athens were dy- ing for want of rain. Stock was begin ming to suffer for water where the plan tations had to depend on ponds and wells for water.

From the Newton Harmonizer.
 Tn a caucus meeting of the Democratic members of the constitutional convention held in Montgomery on last Monday night MT Robert J. Lowe, chairman of the State Democratic executive commit tee, in speaking relative to the report of the suffrage committee, now before the constitutional convention for considera- tion, declared himself wholly opposed to the "board of registrars" clause. He said: "If an astute politician were given too much power he would avail himself of It." He asked the caucus flor Gods sake not to write fraud in the constitution, as it would do if it provided for a board of registrars to say who should vote and who should not" These were brave words, spoken by the proper person, and spoken at the proper time and place. Ev- cry person with a thimbleful of brains and honesty enough in his heart to admit the truth, understands the purpose of the registrar clause" and if the same Is adopted it will be done with the purpose and an eye single to the perpetuation of fraud in the politics of Alabama, and the same will be conducive to the perpetua- ton of trouble, bloodshed and crime among the people. Political tyranny and political treachery in Alabama are two of the gravest questions now agitating the minds of the people. The great State Of Alabama should have a constitution of honor. honesty equity and equality before the law. Anything short of this Is not in conformity with the principles of the American nation and the American gov ernment.

From the ruslkegee News.

From the Tuskegee News.
 The editor of the News does not pro- fess to be wise enough to advise the con stitutional convention Just what Is best to be done. but he desires to suggest that unless some more safeguards are placed about the registrars that many white men will vote against ratifying the constitu- tion. In every county there now exist two distinct factions in the Democratic party, and there always will be such fac tions. And many white men know that In order to keep the faction with which the registrars are aligned in power, regis trars could and would in many cases put white men to great expense and trouble. Under the franchise lay as. reported registrars are all-powerful little CO., ter1e of men in each county could keep the people in strife and confusion. Elec- tion machinery should be just as simple and as fair as possible. And unless it is so framed the new constitution will fail to get the votes of the masses of the poor CT and more humble white people.
 From the Daphne Standard
 I Let the convention pass the law pro- viding for registrars of voters, the people approve the constitution, and we may see the registrars and the probate judges in most counties disfranchising whomsoever they will, and nothing but revolution would then unseat these officials This is not overdrawn-it is the sober truth. Will the people submit to be bound hand and foot. or will they protest at once, and so emphatically that the convention will heed the warning and make no mis- take? Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
 From the Vernon Courier.
 The most objectionable feature of the report of the suffrage committee is the registration board consisting of three ap- pointees in each county. This virtually puts the right to register in the hands of three men and their authority will often be used In an oppressive way Often there will be factions in the party and the dom fnant one will most probably get their men appointed Then 1t will be largely to the interest of the faction in charge, of affairs to keep down the registration of eiie other idction to the very lowest notch. Then when the party spirit runs high and there are two parties about evenly matched what nice state of af- fairs may be expected. The grandfather clause. while very objectionable will not be creating continual discord among the people

MARGARET.
the Most Attractive Member
of British Royalty.

1t is no exaggeration to say that
Princess Margaret of Connaught, King
Edwards pretty niece, who came out
at a ball in Dublin recently, is an eX-
tremely important figure on the inter
national chessboard. She may take a
king.
The lively daughter of the duke of
Connaught is generally regarded in
continental diplomatic circles as the
most eligible of royal young women,
while those of her w country rec
Ognizs in Princess Margaret Great
Britan's best hope for a fresh Euro
pean alliance. Already her name has
been mentioned in connection with
those Of the prospective successors to
the two proudest thrones in Europe,
and it is hardly a matter Of doubt that,
sooner or later, some especially eX-
allied match will be made for her.
The fact that among her relatives
Princess Margaret is known as "Daisy"
goes far to prove that there is little
stateliness or undue seIf-conscious-
ness about the girl whose future prom
ises to he so brilliant. Her tempera-
ment is just what the temperament
of a girl of 20 ought to be--IiveIy and
not too serious. She is tall and grace
full and has the knack of making her
self liked wherever she goes. She rides
horseback; she is a devotee of the
camera and she is never so happy as
when there is a dance in prospect.
Probably much Of the tact and gra-
ciousness for which she is famous
Princess Margaret acquired from her
grandmother, Queen Victoria, whose
almost constant companion she was
for a long time. Her parents, the duke
and duchess of C]onnaught. some years
ago made a prolonged visit to India,
leaving Princess Margaret and her
younger sister in Queen VictOria's
charge. Margaret was an especial ia
vorite Of her royal grandmother, who
often commented on the resemblance
to herself, which can be noticed in
The Houma courier. (Houma, La.) 1878-1939, 1901-04-13

Princess M~argaret's profile and the
contour of her face.
1t has been remarked more than
once that the sprightIiness that is SO
characteristic of both Princess Mar
garet and her younger sister. Princess
Patricia, must have come to them
from their amiabIe father, rather than
from the duchess, who never has fully
overcome the shyness that once was
almost a malady with her. She was
the daughter of Prince Charles Fred
eriCk Of Prussia, and when first she
settled in England her timidity made
life a burden to her. At the first din
ner parties at which she was OBLIGED
to preside as hostess she was so nerv-
GUS that she used never to dare to lift
a glass Of wine to her lips for fear Of
spiIling it, and even now she appears
at great functions as seldom as
possible, and infinitely prefers a
small dinner with two or three close
friends. Her married life. however,
has been fairly happy. She is proud
of the great popularity which her hus-
band, the duke, enjoys, and he relies
more than a little on her tact and iudg-
ment.
For the first time, the C~onnaugbts
are about to have a home Of their own
in London. Hitherto, this section of
the royal family has lived for the most
part at the dukes country place. Bag
shot park, in Surrey, and when in town
had apartments in BUCKINGHAM
palace. Now, however, Clarence house.
the square saffron-coIored mansion
hard by old St. James palace. is be-
ing entirely reftted for them. Until
recently has beeh the home of the
Fidowe2 sister-fn-Iaw, the Ouch
.ess NFSaXe-Coburg~ The Connaugbts
are tR move in Immediately. and IL is
expected that the dukg vii entertain

son.
