Has Relatives in Uniontown on His
 Maternal Side.

Uniontown, Sept. 2S.-(Special.) )--An alarm of fire last night about 12 o'clock called out the citizens and fire depart ment. A kitchen near the lumber yard water was soon playing on the flames. and they were soon extinguished.
 Saturday afternoon the kitchen of MT. Thomas Long caught fire. It was extln- guished without the aid of the fire de- partment
 dent Roosevelt. The person Is Mrs. A. De A. Gholson, who is a daughter of Col. Thomas H. Oswal1. Colonel Oswald was first cousin to Daniel M. Stewart, the arl- cestor of Roosevelt. Mrs: Gholson has letters written by General Stewart to her father. One dated March 12th, 1887, has a reference to the Presidents grandmother and mother. The writer has perused the letter. and there is no doubt as to It's genuineness. By permission he is allowed to reproduce the section relating to the Presidents mother. It is as follows: "My sister Patsy (Martha) Bullock, for the purpose of finishing the education of her children by your cousin Elliott, is re- siding in Hartford. Connecticut. Pray write to her, my dear cousin. She does not know you are alive and would be re- joiced to hear from you. She and her children stand at the top of society wherever they may be, for they are all intelligent, pious, wealthy and accom- Mrs. Gholson says she has heard 1t said that RooseVelt's mother was an Elliott. That the Presidents mother was twice married, first to an Elliott and 1t is te his children that reference Is made In the above. Rumor says that when the president's mother was less than years old the marriage of her mother and Bull lock occurred and thereafter the little girl was known by the name of her stepfather and was called Martha (Patsy) RuilOck These rumors may or may not ba correct but Mrs. Gholson heard them freouently in her early life.

 Division headquarters are hereby es- tablished at Scottsboro, Ala.
 hereby appoint T. Sydney Frazier of Union Springs, Ala. Division Adtutant and Chief of Staff.
 In assuming command or this division, wish to send greetings to all the camps now in the division, asking them for their support and cooperation In the great work which is before us and to heart- fly urge all loyal descendants of our gall lant Confederate soldiers in our State to form themselves into camps Tor per petuating the memory of their fathers. :, Our aims and purposes are noble and perpetuats in song and story, or enduring marble the gallant deeds of the Confed- crate soldiers and to extend helping hand to the remaining needy ones, wher- ever we may find th.m, and to their wid. ows and orphans. The contemplation of the deeds of our fathers and of their de- votion to home, to duty and to this South land, will make us nobler and better citizens of our reunited and common coun- try. We can add no lustre to the name of the Confederate soldier; he has writ ten it himself, fin brightest letters of gold high on the eternal roll of fame. but in doing reverence to his memory and to the grand heritage which he has left us we can aspire to higher and nobler deeds.
 Sons of Alabama, the State which fur nished Pelhams. Semmes and thousands of heroes to the Lost Cause, will you not stand ready to help us in twining gar lands of immortelles and ivy around the memory of cur heroes, and thus show to the world that the blood of our fathers lies not frozen fin our veins. but that we stand ready to sacrifice all for our coun- try and duty's call.

Indictment for Murder in the Second
 Degree.-Appeal from the City Court

HON. W. T. LOWE TALKS.
Says Lawrence County Will Go for
 Constitution.

Huntsville, Sept. 9.-(SpeciaD- D-Hon w. T. Lowe, a member of the Constitu- tional Convention and chairman Of the
 Lawrence County Democratlc .Executve Committee, says that Lawrence county
 will give a big majority for the ratif- cation of the new Constitution. Speaking | of the prospects over the State. MT.
 -"T "T feel confident that the new Con- stitution will be ratified by the people. | It seems to me that the entire opposl- | tion that has developed among the Dem- | ocrats of the State has emanated from those who are disappointed and embit- l tered on account of not having achieved political aspirations. A comparison of the two documents will disclose the fact that the new Constitution IS an up-to- date instrument thoroughly in conso- nance with the present needs and de- mands of our State. The State needs rest from the methods that have been resorted to in order to rid themselves of the curse of negro suffrage and I be- lieve that they will forever free them selves from this incubus. I believe that if we fail to ratlfy this Constitution the negroes will grow intolerable gaining strength and confidence from our defeat and that a period of turbulence will fol- low.
 Jackson county, according to State Senator Bostick who was in this city last night will return majority against the Constitution. There are few negroes in that county. and the white voters have not experienced the disadvantages of negro suffrage as have the people of other counties.
 Rev. M. H. Crutcher, was ordained as a Baptist minister today at Mt Zion Church. Rev. Crutcher is the beneficiary of the Library Baptist Association. The ordination services were conducted by Rev. Mack Stamps and Rev. J. W. Hilliard.
 Announcement has been made of the approaching marriage of Miss Berta Arnett of Triana to Mir. James H. Beav- CT of Lincoln, Ala. The wedding will be solemnized in Triana September A.
