DECATUR.
Republicans In Eighth Congressional
 District Name Delegates.

Decatur, March 12 = (Soecitl.) The Republican executive committee of the Eighth Congressional district met here in the Mayors office yesterday afternoon and nominated James Jackson of Tus- cumbia, and Joseph A. Sloss of Hunts vile, as district delegates to the State constitutional convention.
 A resolution was passed condemning the holding of a constitutional convention and advising all Republicans to vote against same.
 The committee also instructed the sec retary to notify the chairmen of all the county executive committees to call their committees together for the purpose of nominating delegates to represent their respective counties at the proposed con stitutional convention.
 The committee meeting here yesterday was a rather dark town" affair, as all the members present were negroes except four. The negroes seemed at a loss as to what to do, for they fully realized that their white Republican friends In this Congressional district have about deserted them on the question of holding con- stitutional convention.
 H. V. Carlin, negro politician of Huntsville, ran the meeting here to suit himself.

investigation Into Methods of
 Butler County Officials
IRREGULARITIES DISCLOSED
Men Sent to the Coal Mines With out Due Process Of Law-Ex- aminer Woods Makes a
 Partial Report

Montgomery. March 12-(Special. )-The investigation of the executive department of the state government has developed a startling state of affairs as to the meth ods of the officials of Butler County, in the trial of men charged with the viola tion of the law making it a misdemeanor to ride upon railroad trains In that coun- y, without first having procured a ticket or pass
 The report of Col. M. L. Woods, assis- tant examiner of public accounts, who was sent to Greenville by Governor Sam ford to investigate the trial of eighteen men who were recently sent to Pratt mines from that county, shows that gross irregularities have been practiced by the Butler county officials, and while no &C., tion has been taken, a sensation is looked for.
 Colonel Woods report, which is only partial, was filed with the Governor last night, and Is an interesting document, be- ing supplemented with the sworn state ments of several of the officials, which are at variance with the declarations of some of the convicts who have applied for pardon Colonel Woods report fol- lows:

 Dear Sir-In obedience to your direc- tions I went to Greenville last Saturday to examine the records of the County Court of Butler County in the cases of the State against J. F. Laeger, E. Schlu- ter, Joseph Gagnon, John Lewis, John Perkins, Thomas Elliott. John Cross Arthur Sweet. James Rider. Lewis Will kins, Niles Peterson, Robert J. Foy, Frank Herman, James McGuire, Charles Jones, W. J. Merrigan, M. J. Quigley and J. Elmer Adams, convicts at Pratt Mines. I submit herewith this partial report of my investigation. The clerk of the court, I. Y. Traweek. furnished me with a transcript of the record showing the amount of cost taxed on each case I append that transcript.
 I made transcript of the names of the witnesses subDoenaed in each case which I also append. The witness J.. W. Storey, who was subpoenaed In every case, was deputy sheriff and made the arrest in every case. It was upon his af- f1davit also that the warrant of arrest was issued in every case. He was allow ed, according to the sherfnS s oral state ment to me, one dollar ($1.0o) as fee in each case. The witness, J. M. Smith also subpoenaed in every case, is deputy sheriff and, with the sheriff, is in charge of the sheriffs office. The witness, A. T. Ramage. who was subpoenaed in every case is a justice of the peace, and a dep uty clerk in the clerks office and. with the clerk, has charge of the clerks of flee. The witnesses c. F.

TWO NEGRO WOMEN
 BADLY BURNED
They Stood and Rugged Each Other Until Neighbors
 Came to the Rescue

Athens, March 12.-(speeiaD-Two ne, gro women living in the western part of Athens were horribly burned late Satur- day afternoon, and the chances are that both will die. They were mother and daughter and both are so seriously burned that neither can tell which caught first. A neighbor woman happened tc visit them just in the midst of the fire and found them frantic with fright and hugging each other and both ablaze. The visiting woman was burned about the hands and arms in her effort to exbn- guish the flames. She threw buckets oi water on them. but not until they were entirely stripped of clothing did she sue ceed in getting the flames out It is pre- stunned that one caught and that the othel in trying to help her extinsuish the flames was ignited and then their fright became so great that they could do noth' Ing but hug each other and let the flames do their worst
