They are holding day and night sessions in the Methodist Church. Their work will be finished tomorrow. and Morday morning will witness their de- parture.

Many farmers will begin choppng cotton next Monday.

TO STOP MooNsHININa.
Plan of Judge Jones in Dealing with
 Those Convicted.

Huntsville. April 26.-(Special. )-In deal ing with the moonshiners who have been
 convicted at this term of United States
 Court, Judge Thomas G. Jones has hit upan a plan which he thinks will tend to stop great deal of the moonshining in
 this section. He has allowed several convicted prisoners to go back to their homes with a sentence and fine hanging
 over them and has warned them that If they are brought before him again, the first penalty must be paid and he
 will give them a heavy penalty if con- victed for d second offense. This means that the moonshiner will be heavily pun ished if he is caught again and many of
 them have assured their friends that they
 will never make any more whiskey. After thirty days, all houses In Hunts vile must be connected with the sanitary sewers or the owners will be fined $25 for each day their property remains un-
 connected. Mayor Moore has determined 1 to have this done and has notified prop l erty owners that the law must be en- l forced. t- E. G. Bromlee a civil engineer of Phil
 adelphia, has come to this city to meet | the people who are interested in the Cur
 ley and Paint Rock Valley Railroad. a
 projected line from Gurley to Winchester. 1 Tenn. There is renewed interest in the
 building of this projected railroad and it l is believed that it will be built at least
 within the next few years The line passes through a rich mineral and timber section and win be d valuable feeder to either the Huntsville, Chattanooga & St. Louis or the Southern Railroad.

A BRILLIANT ADDRESS.
Hon. B. H Screws of Montgomery
 the Orator at Tallassee,

the dt 4dlldSSCcs
 Tallassee April 26.-(Special.) )-The weather was threatening. but the crowd was large at the Memorial services to- day About twenty old veterans followed by e large number of noble women and a good crowd of happy children and good many younger men, marched to the ceme- tery. where an appropriate program was presented. l.. M. Lackey. chaplain of the camp, delivered q stirring welcome. s. P. Storrs told in a touching way the story of a flag carried by his father in the eos. Miss Aileen Sweatt recited "The Con- quered Banner" in T very impressive way. Music was led by Professor Perry, and 1t was greatly enjoyed.
 The climax of interest was reached when Hon. B. H. Screws, the distin- guisned orator of Montgomery, was pre- sented. The crowd had heard of this wonderful speaker and were expecting an eloquent eulogy on the Confederate sol djer and their every expectation was met. He caught the crowd at the begin- ming and had the closest attention for about forty minutes. All would have lis tened much longer, for they were charmed by his matchless eloquence and splendid oratory His speech was brilliant his torical and effective, and he made rep utatioa for oratory here that will last forever The crowd rose en masse to thank him TOT his presence and magni- ficent address.
 The graves were then decorated with many flowers prepared by loving. willing hands. A dinner to all present closed the exercises.
 The people are delighted that they de- cided to observe Memorial Day.

Fitting Celebration of Memorial Day.

Graves Decorated.
 Troy. April 2s.--(specisi.) )--Memoria Day was observed here with appropri- ate ceremonies At s:so o'clock this even. a large audience to witness the opening exercises.
 A double line of aged Confederate vet erans which reached across the building were seated immediately in front of the stage, while a line of the local military company occupied place in front or them.
 The services were opened with short address by Rev. S. A. Pilley, master or ceremonies. after which Captain l.. Il. Rowles offered a very fervent and feel ing prayer. The choir upon the stage then sang Nearer. My God to Thee, In a very impressive manner. Miss Collier Hoilan recited The Confederate Flag, in manner capable of the most patri- otic inspiration.
 Hon. w. H. Sanford, Prof. selman and Jake Chafiin sang 'Tenting on the Old Camp Ground which constituted one of the principle features of the exercises.
 Mrs. IL. M Bashinsky delivered an ex- cellent address, reviewing the history of the noble custom of commemorating the heroism and bravery of the Confederate soldiery. and eulogizing with thoughts of grandeur aptly expressed, the cause for which they fought.
 A list of Confederate veterans who had not received crosses was then read and those present who had not been decorat- ed, went upon the stage. and the Daugh- ters of the Confederacy pinned a cross upon each of them.
 pr. A. B. Campbell fervently invoked the benediction, after which the great crowd of patriotic women streamed from the building laden with wreaths of flow CTS and evergreens and repaired to the cemeteries of the city to decorate the graves of the Confederate dead. The weather is that of a balmy spring day and this scene of beauty. love and tenderness is capable of inspiring the pro foundest respect and devotion to the ch,yalry of Southern womanhood.

COLONEL CATERS LECTURES.
He Was Secretary to Col Memminger of President Davis's Cabinet.

Auburn. April 26.-tSpeciaD-Colon Henry D. Capers, secretary to MT. Mem- minger of President Davis's Cabinet, iec- tured in the college chapel last night on the origin and formation of the govern ,nent of the Confederate States of Amer ica The lecture was composed largeiy of facts and incidents which nave not heen written and was on that account all the more interesting to the audience: He told how he went to Montgomery from Auburn to see the Provisional congress then in session and how the contagion of excitement had drawn vast crowds or people to Montgomery from every part of the country, so great were the crowds that all of the houses were filled with the visitors and many were camping Tn the streets.
 He described most vividly the inaugu- ration of President Davis. the appear lnce and bearing of the distinguished men who took part in the inauguration teremo- nies, the powerful effect of the prayer ny Dr. Basil Manly. the great dignity ana determination expressed b. the Volce and manner of MT. Davis when he took the oath of office and of it's almost mag ical effect on the vast ass9mblaSe Of people in front of the historical old Capi- tol in Montgomery.
 Colonel Capers was the Marshal for south Carolina oh the Jay of the inaugu- ration and was sitting on his horse about two hundred yards from where Presl- dent Davis end Dr. Manly were stand ing when they spoke and he heard almost every word they said so great were the stiffness and attention of so vast throng.
 Many dramatic and historical incidents were related which would make interest ing reading were they written. Colonel Ca2ers was appointed secretary to MT. Mcmminger the day after the inaugura- ton and was instructed by his thief to find n suita ble place for the office of the Secretary of the Treasury. He select ed the old bank building in which there was no furniture or any thing necessary for the equipment of an office. The sec ond day after the Secretary had located ,- his office the first order on the treasury was issued by President Davis which was for blankets and provisions for one hundred men. This order found tne secre- tary to MT. Memmnger sitting Tn his hastily equipped office without a dollar in the treasury of the Confederate States of America or any means of obtaining Capitol to see his chief who in order to meet this first demand opened an account with d bank in Montgomery in his own name.
 Memorial Day exercises were held in Langdon Hall yesterday afternoon. It is a custom here for the exercises to be held jointly by the cadets of the Alaba- ma Polytechnic Institute and the pupils of the Auburn Female Institute and it was convenient to get the students to- gether on Friday afternoon rather than Saturday. Miss Bessie Thach of the se- nior class of the A. F. l. recited a beau tifuI poem on John Pelham and Captain Davis Younge of the senior class at the A. P. I. delivered the oratiOn of the day.
