Now Over

Opelika. Ala, Dec. 31.-After more
than a week of terror, DIoodshed and
disorder the people of Crawford anu
Russell county can now rest safe. for
Uriah Porter, who it is said, killed
Joseph Fincher and carried terror in

Porter came in yesterday morning
and surrendered to Deputy Sheriff
John l.. Moon, who was formerly chief
of police of PheniX City and who
has once before arrested him. Porter
was accompanied by Mr.. Davis, a
friend of his who had induced him to
take the step of surrendering to the
officials.
After being imprisoned Porter sent
for Tax Collector Booker. who was a
friend of his. When the collector ar
rived he had a long talk with aim and
was advised that he had done rignt

reason he did not surrender and claims

HOW JONES GOT JUDGEsHIP.
Around the Appointment Of the Ala
bamIan Is a Pretty Story.


bamian Is a Pretty Story.
Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 31.-Public
curiosity as to who really secured for
Ex-Governor Thomas G. Jones the ap-
pointment as federal district Judge has
never abated. 1t will De at last salts
fed by the following story:
The man who did it was General
Stewart l.. Woodford, of New York,
formerly United States minister to
Spain. OF course he didn't do it ali
by himself. but he first suggested it,
long before President Mckinley died,
and when it was expected that Judge
Bruce would retire in February, 1902
He was working up the matter with
President Mckinley and had an easy
going thing of it with President Roose-
welt, the necessary influences being al
ready marshaled.
All that Governor Jones ever had to
do was to say he would take it.
This Is all brought out by a silver
loving cut which Judge Jones has
Just sent to General Woodford as 8
New Years present. The principal in
scription reads as follows:
Papa. I'm so glad We didn't shoot
him. Meta"
This inscription tells the story and
originated in this way. When Gov
ernor Jones was appointed judge and
went up home to dinner, the children
put after him to know who got it for
him.. He laughed and answered.:
We'll. if anybody got it tor US. it
was General Woodford.'
What that yankee who took dni-
ner with us that time? asked his lit
tie daughter Meta
HE is the man." answered the gov
ernor.
Papa, I'm SO glad we didn't shoot
HIM" exclaimed little Miss Meta.
And that is the story of a loving
cup that has both sentiment and po-
litical history carved on it's shining
surface.

There are two tracts of land, each
of 10000 acres, under consideration
for these colonists, one OF them in
Georgia on the Southern railway hail
way between Atlanta and Columbus,
and the other in Collector county. 8.
ties interested in the colonization
scheme have both these tracts under
consideration, and while they have not
definitely decided which will be used,
the chances are in favor of the Geor-
gia tract, which offers the greatest
advantages.
The proposed colony Is not to be on
the cooperative plan, but the colo
nists will start cut eacn one for him
self, somewhat on the order OF the
colony established some years. ago at
Fitzgerald, in Irwin county. This
