Railroad Commission Agitation.


 The business men of Birmingham have begun a movement looking to bringing about a change in the selec- ton and operation of the State Rail- road Commission. They desire first that the Commission shall have power to regulate freight rates in the State, and that the members shall have power to enforce their rules; that the salaries of the Commission shall be paid by the State, and that the voters of the State shall be allowed to elect the Commis sioners. A largely attended meeting of citizens was held last night under the auspices of the Freight and Trans portation Bureau, the Lumbermen's Association and the Wholesale Grocers' Association, and it was decided to take hold of the matter vigorously and push the movement in every part of the State, with a view to having the Con- stltutional Convention bring at1ut the desired changes. A committee was ap- pointed with J. R. P. Durham as chair man to prosecute the campaign The committee will send representatives to every city and down of importance in the State to seek the cooperation of business men and others in the move ment Parties in all these various sec tions will be urged to write to their representatives in the Constitutional Convention asking them to use theh influence to bring about the desired changes

He will be kept in the County Jail here until after his indfctmsnt by hte grand jury of St. Clair County. The preliminary trial was arranged for by Hon. Charles c.

It was ascertafned that the accused could be given such a hea, iig In this county provided it steoI place before some Judge who has cl1aneery Jurisdiction.

 Miller Gives Up Hope.
 Frank Miller, under sentence af death far the murder Of Policeman J. W. Adams. will be hanged in the County Jail yard at f0:S0 o'clock tomorrow morning unless Governor Jel,us inter- feres, which interference is now re- garded as extremely improbable. Mil- Ter has abandoned all hope and is calmly awaiting the end. When asked by a reporter this morning what was the good word" the prisoner replied:
 ''The good word is 1o:30 in the morn ing"
 "Then you have no hope of escape" ?" he was asked.
 "No. I will be murdered in the morn- ing. This seems settled. Those blood thirsty scoundrels have bounded me to death."
 Miller laid particular stress upon the assertion that he win be murdered and his manner showed that he felt bitter towards those who have been so active Iii prosecuting him. He said that the officials ther1selves know that he did not kill Adams and that they know that he dies innocent of the charge against him. All preparations for the hanging have been completed.
 An hour after Miller is hung Alonzo Williams will be executed. Williams was a convict at Pratt mines and mur- dered fellow convict with a pick. He is looking forward to tomorrow's execution with apparent joy, so full is he of religious fervor.
