At any rate Bradley pulled his pistol
and fired. He was quickly overpowered
by bystanders.

END OF REGISTRATION
LAST CHANGE TO SECURE CERTI-
 FICATE EXISTS TODAY.
When Rocks Close Tonight Only About, Four Thousand Electors Will Have Qualified Them
 selves for Voting.

Today is by law the last day on which certificate of registration can be se- cured by a voter of Montgomery county
 This being the last day, the registra- ton books will be kept open until 8 o'clock tonight. The registrars, Messrs Charles B. Teasley, William Gunter Jr., and E. J. Harris, worked until 8 o'clock last night, and a number of voters were registered after nightfall.
 In the past three days registration has been rather brisk. As the time for the final closing of the Registration books approached many of the indifferent voters who had heretofore held back went for ward and secured certificates.
 Warning of the final closing of the reg ist"ation books has been repeatedly given, and the voter who negiects to provide himself with a certificate has no one but himself to blame for his negligence
 The unregistered voter will be unable to take part in the primaries and general election of this year and in the municipal primaries and election of next year.
 When the books close at 8 o'clock to- night there will be. it is estimated. 4.00e registered veters in Montgomery county
 A conservative estimate of the voters Of Montgomery county places the number of qualified electors in the neighborhood of $500, leaving about 1900 without regis tratlon certificates.

COMPLAINTS OF ROAD
WARRINGTON FERRY AP-
 PRoAcHEs IN BAD FIX.
Grades So Steep That They Mean Disaster to Vehicles Even Though They Be Light
 ly Loaded.

Continued complaint as to the condition or the approach to the ferry over the Alabama River on the Washington Ferry Road ten miles from town, has made its improvement In the near future almost certainty.
 Most of the complaints made against the road as 1t approaches the ferry is from the farmers of Autsuga County, who are forced to use the road to come to Montgomery.
 The trouble lies in the fact that the road as 1t leaves the ferry and ascends the river bank. is so steep that to Eo up 1t with a loaded wagon is almost impos- sible.
 Formers have declared that 1t is diff cult matter for a team of mules to draw an empty wagon up the, bank to level ground, The ascent has been described 'as being almost perpendicular, and the lower the river falls the sleeper the ascent becomes.
 A Montgomery man a few days ago went over the road to Autauga County, and while there he heard many complaints as to the steepness Of the bit of road at the river. and he was urged moro tsan once to use his influence to have It cut down.
 On his return trip to the city while his horse was endeavoring to draw his buggy up the precipitious hill. his harness and buggy were broken. although there vas only one person in the buggy. The in- cident in which he was the sufferer is said to be far from uncommon.
 The maintenance of the road is in charge of the owner of the ferry. Under an act of the legislature. the owners of ferries are required to keep approasnes to the river in good condition.
 The regular road overseer has super vision over the ferry approaches; and they can direct the ferry owners to make the necessary repairs to make the ap- preach passlble and servlceable.
 The gravelled reads of the county do not run to the waters edge hut to the high water marks at the ferry. The road overseers may make the ferry owners change the grade and improve the approaches.
 The Board of Revenue of the county has no authority in the premises beyond appointment and supervision of the county road overseers. who may direct the ferry owners, to do certain work.
 Secretary Charles A. Allen of the Board of Revenue said yesterday that complaint of the condition of the approach to the Washington Ferry had been made to the Board. but it could do nothing The attention of the road overseer for that district had been called to the place. The improvements asked for are the cut ting away of part of the steep hill and the better grading of the approach.

SEVEN GASOLINE CASES
FIRE DEPARTMENT INSPECTORS
 HALE CITIZENS TO COURT.
Every One of the Seven Defendants Z Were Fined BIO and cost-Gaso-
 line Dangerous
 Commodity.

Seven persons were arraigned before the Recorders Court yesterday afternoon, charged with having on their premises at one time more than a quart of gasoline without permit from the Chief of the Fire Department
 The fire department has been doing some very effective inspecting.
 All of those charged with violating this ordinance pertaining to using gasoline without a permit pleaded ignorance in re- gard to the law.
 The judge informed them that the stat ute was a year old. and that ignorance was not legitimate excuse. They were all fined $10 and cost.
 Gasoline Is a very dangerous and high ,ly explosive, when combustion takes place the whole surrounding atmosphere ignites and often lives are lost from be- ing burned to death.
 A quart is suffieient quantity to effect great damages.
 Judge Arlington says that he intends enforcing the law in every case.

DIED AT cUTHBERT
The Mother of General Geo. P. liar
 rison Passed Away.

4uS 1MopuGT O1 0eMefat Geo. IT. Aar-
 rison Passed Away.
 The Eufauia Times of Thursday after noon reached The Advertiser about s o'clock that night and in 1t was found a statement of the death of Mrs. George F. Harrison at Cuthbert, Ga. Steps were taken to learn the particulars. The Advertisers correspondent at Opelika was called up over the telephone and he promptly stated that the rumor could not be true He said that General liar rison's mother was quite i'll and with a daughter at Cuthbert, and that possibly she had died and that a mistake had arisen in this way This proves to have bsen the case as a telegram from Opellka to The Advertiser says '"The published report of death of the wife of General George P. Harrison is erroneous. His mother died at Cuthbert. Ga. yesterday and will be buried here tomorrow"
 Both General and Mrs. Harrison are well known ip Montgomery and have great many friends here who will be glad to learn of the mistake as to the latter. General Harrison's mother had reached q good old age and having served her day and generation has passed to her reward. She was fine type of pure Christian womanhood.
