COALITION PROPOSED.
Alabama and Tennessee Petroleum
Companies May Unite.

Huntsville, Sept. 21.-(Special.) --Crockett
Godbey, aged so years. died yesterday
afternoon at his home near HAL HALE Green
in Madison County and leaves large
family of children. ! He was buried today
at the Tennessee State Line Church.
There is a well founded report in circu-
lation here that there is a movement on
foot looking to coalition OF all petroleum
corporations in Middle Tennessee and
Alabama. 1t is believed that IL such a
combination is effected, running expenses
will be reduced to a minimum and only
the most, valuable properties will be de-
vefoped. Such step Is regarded as very
wise The coalition would take in every
company that has been organized In mid
die Tennessee and Alabama, since the oil
excitement began. 1t Is understood that
the movement for the combination is be-
ing engineered by Pulaski, Tenn, CAPT.
talists who are interested in the Alabama
and Tennessee Oil Company and that the
combination would have a capital stock
ranging from five to ten millions of dol
lars.
The EIks of this city have extended an
invitation to the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd
Alabama Infantry to participate in the
flower parade during the fall carnival. All
of the companies of the battalion reside
within seventy miles of this city and it
is very likely that they will agree to come
as railroad rates are very reasonable.
There is practically no opposition In
Madison County to the ratification of the
new constitution. The people believe that
the suffrage clause will relieve honest
white men from the necessity of resort
ing to methods for the suppression of the
negro vote that all honest men so heartily
deplore.
at is not believed that any organized eff
fort will be made to deefat the ratlpca-
ton of the instrument in this county.
However, the Democratic Executive Gem
mittee is making preparations for a
vigorous campaign and majority OF
two thousand in its favor is confidently
predicted.
