MONTGOMERY BUSINESS MEN
PUT UP MONEY FOR FACTORY
To Secure Big Stove Manufacturing Plant, Progress
SiVe Citizens Subscribe to Fund--Much
Interest Manifested.

The business community of Montgomery
is stirred over the opportunity presented
Montgomery of securing large Northern
stove factory.
At the meeting OF the Commercial and
Industrial Association Tuesday night, the
Manufacturing Committee presented in
detail the proposition of a prominent stove
manufacturer jim the North to locate a
branch of his factory at Montgomery.
if the citizens would donate site OF
five acres and construct the necessary
buildings, which were estimated to cost
about $4,000. Another city within hfty
miles of his plant had made him this
proposition, but he preferred a SOUTH
ern location. The factory would employ
100 hands averaging 50 per day, would
be equipped with $4,000 worth OF ma
chinery and patterns and would do a
business of 100000 to 100000 annually.
If the stove factory was successful. 1t
would likely lead to the establishment of
a toy factory, a wooden split pulley fac
tory and a factory making steel castings
for stoves, in all of which he was In
terested.
After a spirited discussion the MEM
bers of the Commercial and Industrial
Association endorsed the efforts of the
Manufacturing Committee and pledged
themselves to back up the movement
with both work and money. Entering at
once upon the latter part of the promise
the members present put down their
subscriptions toward the. fund necessary
to construct the buildings. In thirty
minutes 5000 was subscribed to the fund
and committees were appointed TO secure
the balance.
1t is the intention that the canvass shall
be complete for a final report on next
Tuesday night-the time for the seminar
nual meeting of the Association. The
committee will be out for the next two
or three days, and will give every prop
erty owner every merchant and business
house an opportunity to aid in the move
ment. 1t is expected that all will con-
tribute something.

The committees on Music, Finance, Re-
ception. Publication, Entertainment and
Badges all reported at this meeting.
Prof. G. F. Mcdonald, Chairman of
the Music Committee. was Ill and unable
to attend the meeting. He, however, sent
word that no answers had been received
to the invitations to enter the band con-
test and in his opinion the contest had
fallen through. The Camp finally decided
to put the engaging of the music in the
hands of Chairman John G. Crommelin Of
the Arrangement Committee. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that the Mobile
band, which has an excellent reputation,
be engaged, and some smaller band, a
local one or a musical organization of
some neighboring town be selected to aid
the Mobile musicians.
The Finance Committee reported that
the finances were in excellent shape and
they would have enough to pay all ex-
penses of the reunion with a few more
contributions.
The Committee on Publication reported
that the reunion had been generally
spread throughout the State by the press.

AFTER GUILTY MEN
GOVERNOR STARTS INvESTIGA-
TON OF LEE LYNCHING.
Governor Jelks Has Written Solicitor
Sanford and Sheriff Hodges to
Make Through Investiga-
ton of the Lynching.

Governor Jelks has started an investi-
ga ton of the lynching of Sam Harris in
Lee County Monday
He has written letters to Solicitor c. A.
l.. Sanford and Sherff Hodges of Lee to
thoroughly investigate the affair. The
investigation, it is said, will be most
searching.
Harris, who was lynched, was the ne
gro who made a brutal attack on Mrs
Sam Meadows and daughter at Salem
in Lee County. The negro hoped to find
in the no Use the money Mr.. Meadow had
received from the sale of two mules, a
transaction Of which Harris knew. At
ter attempting to disguise himself by put
ting smut over his face, the negro en-
tered the house and struck down Mrs.
Meadows with an ak. AS the negro stood
over the PROSTATE body of her mother,
Miss Meadows walked up the steps. The
murderous negro struck at her with the
ak, but she shielded her head with her
arms. The blow broke one of her arms,
but, injured as she was, Miss Meadows
turned and ran for the gate The negro
overlook her and laid her unconscious on
the ground with blow from the ak.
Mrs. Meadows, It is said, will die.
Harris was captured that afternoon and
carried before Miss Meadows for identi-
fication. She declared that he was the
negro who made the murderous assault.
The crowd left her presence with the
negro and he had been carried but few
feet from the house before he was rid
died with bullets.
The Governor, as soon as he learned
of the mob violence, took his usual course
in the matter. He set out to have the
affair thoroughly sifted. He stands op-
posed to mob violence and lynch law in
any form He has assured the sheriffs
and solicitors of the State that in the
maintenance of law and order. the Execu-
tive Department will hold up their hands.
The Governor regards the lynching of
Harris as a fragrant violation of law and
order and, If possible, those who had a
part in it will face a court of justice. The
Lee County officials have been impressed
With the Governors determination to
punish the guilty parties If they can be
found.

Story of His Appearance in Many
Places N a Norway Town.


Places N a Norway Town.
Youths Companion.
In a certain town IN Norway the figure
of a stork appears on the church and
over many OF the houses. Tourists Who
go there often find on sale on every hand
images of the stork in silver and gilt, or
carved in wood. The story Of the origin
of this sign of the stork Is unusual and
most interesting The hero of the tale is
Conrad JonaRsen, whose name will be for
ever associated with the stork.
Many years ago, when Conrad was
boy stork built its nest on the roof OF
the house. Conrad and his mother fed
the bird and so encouraged its return.
In time the boy went to sea. One day
the ship fell into the hands of pirates.
and Conrad, with his shipmates. was sold
into slavery in Africa.
Hardships and indigniities of all sorts
were heaped upon them for three years.
One day Conrad saw a stork flying about
overhead. and was filed with homesicx
longings He whstled to the bird as he
used to do at home, and to his delight
the stork came near and finally alighted,
as If expecting to be fed.
He had nothing to give the bird then,
but the next day he saved a part of his
breakfast, hoping that the stork would
soon come again. 1t did, and for several
days continued to come.
At length 1t occurred to the homesick
slave that the stork would soon be flying
north again, and like an inspiration came
the thought that by means of the bird he
could send message which might pos
sibly fall into the hands of friends.
He wrote few lines on a bit of tough
paper and bound 1t fast to the storkE leg.
few days later the bird disappeared.
One day Mrs. Jonassen noticed the
stork. which had returned again to it's
nest on the roof. picking at something
on it's leg. She fed the bird, caught It
and removed the bit of paper. Fancy the
mothers feelings when she found II to
be a message from her own son, long
since given up for lost!
1t would be too long a story TO tell OF
the interest of the parish, of the money
raised. the expedition sent to rescue Con-
rad and his mates. All this took place,
hoover, and Conrad Jonassen came
home In after years he became a rich
man. and did much for the welfare of his
native town. The stork was never forgot
ten. and 1t is small wonder that 1T became
the emblem of the Norwegian town.
