 JUDGE FEAGiN ABOUT FARE. JUDGE INVESTIGATES, BUT FINDS NO CAUSE OF COMPLAINT

A note written by Helen Dozier, one of the negress inmates of the city prison, to Judge Feagin caused considerable comment in police circles yesterday. The note was as follows:
 Judge, we are nearly starving up here. They won't give us enough to eat. We are half fed every meal; don't get nothing to eat. Judge, do something for US, and we are starving-ali of us everybody"
 The reason given for writing 1t was that she failed. she said, to receive any breakfast yesterday morning and be- cause several of the prisoners requested her to make complaint to Judge Feagin.
 Upon request of Warden Rittenberry several of the inmates were brought Into court and examined, and with the excep- ton of one or two all of them stated that they were well fed and cared for, and that the treatment they were receiv- ing was better than they had gotten in other prisons A white male Inmate stat ed that he was in a Nashville prison and that the treatment received here was far superior to that of the prison there.
 Judge Feagin, after hearing all the testimony, announced that he believed the prisoners in the city prison were well cared for and reprimanded the dissatis- fed ones

A.. ]. KREBS MAKES ADDRESS

President A. J. Krebs of the State Fair did some good missionary work yes- terday for negro day. by an address be- fore the negro Baptist convention. His remarks were applauded to the echo, and an interest was arousued in the negro de- pertinent of the fair which could scarely have been awakened by any other means.
 The women were especially interested in the arrangement as explained by MT. Krebs to have them all instructed in the art of cooking by Mss Haxworth of New York. who Is an international authority on all branches of domestic science Throughout the fair Miss Haxworth will give her lectures and demonstrations in the womans department for the benefit of all women who care to attend and learn from her.
 On Negro Day, Monday. November B. her attention will be directed entirely to the instruction of thescolored women who attend the fair on that day. They will be invited to the kitchen in the woman s department and will be given some les sons in cookery which they will be able to put Into immediate practice.
 New attractions for the fair grounds are being secured almost every day. The latest Is the famous miniature railway which will be constructed to haul pas- sengers from one part of the grounds to another. Among the men working at the grounds upon the improvements there Is a man distinguished as the youngest soldier In the Confederate army He will probably remain with the association as member of the permanent staff dur ing the fair.
 When the Improvements now in pro- gress are completed the fair grounds and buildings will hardly be recognized by old habitues of Smiths park. Every thing Is being revamped and overhauled. One of the most noticeable Improvements will be the military parade ground in front of the grandstand upon which the prize drills will be aeld on Military Day.
 The management announces that the full official programme of the fair will be published in a few days.

Roosevelt AdherBnts Had Difl-
 cuIB in Endorsing Him
WHO ID OPPOSE UNDERWOOD
ErskIne Ramsey Prominently Named as Congressional Candidate-Davld- son May Succeed Vaughan--An
 Error In the Platform.

The republicans of the state have re- turned to their homes, and only the echoes of the convention were heard on the streets yesetrday. One of these echoes much discussed was the pro- nounced opposition to the resolution re- commenting the re-nomlnation of Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 It seemed at one time during the day the resolution was adopted that 1t would not go through. The men favoring Mir. Roosevelt. however. put all their forces in line to work for it's passage and when the final vote came 1t was adopted along with the other resolutions. The opposi- ton proved the popularity of Mir. Hanna. and it argues Roosevelt may have some trouble in keeping everything in line and getting the state endorsement when the time comes in 1904.
 Committee Meets.
 A conference of the members of the state executive committee was held af- ter the adjournment of the state con- vention. w. I. wellman. the chairman. stated at this meeting that he merely desired to talk over the coming cam paign and secure suggestions from the members as to the best. methods for starting the work.
 It was determined that a vigorous fight should be made over the entire state. MT. Wellman stated he would announce his campaign committee within few days After this talk N. L. Steele of Montgomery was elected state secretary and J. Carter Cook of Birmingham made treasurer of the committee.
 In the Ninth Congressional district a onvention will be held in Birmingham on September "A for the purpose of nominat- ing candidate for congress to oppose Congressman Underwood. Several names have been mentioned for the place, in- cluding that of Erskine Ramsey. The latter. however. has stated he could not accept the nomination in case it was ten dered him. and though he was highly ia. vored. it is not thought he will be nom. mated. In the Third district E. F. Koer. Der of Columbia has been named as con- gressional candidate.
 Vaughan's Successor.
 T hc edih ditloliB tne convention uele- gates as to who would be appointed tc succeed William Vaughan for district at. torney seemed centered about the name of Julius w. Davidson, the permanent chairman of the convention, and the pres. ent acting district attorney. His record as assistant to Mir. Vaughan, 1t is claim. ed, has marked him as a man of much ability and he has secured the endorse ment of many of the most prominent re- publicans of the state for the office. MT. Vaughan stated yesterday he had receiv- ed no communication from Washington giving the details of the charges against him.
 By an oversight the platform and reso- lutions of the party as published in yes terday's paper contained the resolution offered by MT. McEldery of Talladega, as a substitute for the platform. This resolution was not adopted and Is no part of the platform. It's publication was un- intentional.
