Roberts told him to walk with him and not be sulking behind. The negro came up and then hit him about the head and face with a stick, rendering him unconscious. The negro was evidently frightened away, as the $6 in rear pocket was undisturbed. MT. Roberts after a time recovered con- seiousness and managed to reach his home. He is not seriously injured. There is no clue as to the guilty party.
 Another robbery was reported to the pc lice that occurred within block of the police station.

FLORENCE PEOPLE
 ARE AGITATED
ORDINANCE PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCILLORS PENSARY BILL HAD ALREADY BEEN DRAWN.

Florence December 23.-(Special.) )-An- other chapter in the agitation which has been string the city of Florence since the summer of 1900 was enacted last night, when the city council passed the most drastic and binding prohibition ordi- nance that could possibly be framed. The issue before the people at the recent election in November was high-lcensed saloons or the dispensary. The dispensary won, thereby insuring the passage in the next legislature of a bill to establish the dispensary system in Florence. Five of the seven members of the council were advocates of high license, and their ac- tion in introducing prohibition came as a great surprise.
 What effect this will have upon the dis pensary people, who have already pub lshed their proposed dispensary bill is not yet known.

PREACHER SERVES
 ROAST ID MAYOR
Rev. W. Y. QuiSenberry Wages
 War on Decatur Saloons.
WHISKY SOLD ON SUNDAY
This, the Minister Says, Is Frequently Done, and Every Sabbath the
 City Ordinance Against It Is Violated.

New Decatur, December 24-(Special)- The Rev. W. L. Quisenberry. pastor of the Central Baptist church, is still wag- ing war against the Sunday saloons of this city and in an article to the New Decatur Advertiser in todays issue he jumps on the acting solicitor the mayor and the foreman of the late grand jury, c. T. Burt.
 Some days ago he roasted the county and city authorities on allowing the sa- looms to sell on Sunday and in reply to the article, MT. Burt, foreman of the late grand jury, came out In a newspaper ar- ticle in which he said that Pastor Quies- enberry was absolutely incorrect In his statements; that the grand jury had ex- amined some fifty witnesses as regards Sunday selling and that all but one said they had seen no selling on Sunday"
 MT. Qulsenberry's article in today's New Decatur Advertiser follows:
 MT. c. T. Burt, under the heading A Misstatement.' says that am absolutely incorrect In my appeal to the public as to open saloons on Sunday. He falls  1t with the hundreds of citizens who pass along Second avenue as to the violation of the state laws as well as the city ordinance. wish MT. Burt would give us the names of the fifty witnesses who were examined before the grand jury, all of whom but one testified they had seen no selling on Sunday Did he and the solic- itor pick their witnesses? 1 saw MT. Burt enter again and again, during the sitting of the grand jury three of the saloons in New Decatur. l did not see him drink Perhaps his official duties required him to visit again and again the saloons while under oath to execute the laws.
 "Please allow me to call the atten- ton of the mayor to section of the city ordinance"
 MT. Quisenberry here quotes that section of the ordinance which says that all saloons must be closed on Sunday and that the screens. curtains. etc. must be pulled back as to give plain view or the interior of the bar room.
 Continuing, he says: "This ordinance Is broken every Sabbath in toto by three of the saloons on Second avenue. Does any one deny this? And yet the mayor and city police are sworn before God to enforce the laws of the city. Are they trying to do it?'
 It has been learned that Gen. Joseph Wheeler, the hero of two wars has tele- graphed to President Roosevelt offering his services again in case 1t were neces- sary and that he was ready at mo- ments notice to take up arms in the coun- try's defence.
 The generals home is at Wheeler sta tion, a small place on the Southern rail- road, nineteen miles west of here, wlere he owns a fine plantation, containing over 1S,000 acres of land.

PROF. JACOB FORNEY
 DIES SPRINGFIELD

After firing a number of shots he entered the out house. A few minutes afterwards a shot was heard in that di- rection and investigation showed the rife had been discharged with fatal results.

 The wounded man was quickly carried to the house and received every attention. but to no avail. Death resulted in few minutes.

GOVERNOR IN EUFAULA.
Will Soon Begin Work on Message.
 Other Montgomery News.

Montgomery December 2.-(Special.)- The state superintendent of education, MT. H. c. Gunnells, left tonight for Bos- ton, where he goes to attend the meeting of the New England and Atlantic Coast States Teachers association. While away he will also attend the annual meet ing of the College and University Presi- dents association in Washington.
 Governor Jelks is spending Christmas with his family in Eufaula. Immediately after his return he will take up the de- tails of his message to the forthcoming session of the legislature. It Is believed here that the governor Is going to lend his influence to the long needed enlarge ment of the capitol building. That some thing must be done grows more apparent every day. Even now two such important departments as history and the land agency are domiciled In the senate and house cloakrooms, with nowhere to move to.
 Since the enlargement of the capitol in O'NeaPs time, the following offices have been created and housed in the old build ing: Two Supreme court judges, a land agent the director of history the state tax commissioner and the deputy insur- ance commissioner. In addition to those created, the department of agriculture has been moved from Auburn and the adjutant general put on a salary and given a clerk requiring quarters To all this must be added the increased demand for space and the enlarged forces in the different offices growing out of the in- creased business arising from increased population and revenues.
 From December 21 to December 24. inclusive, last year, the probate office here issued 16S marriage licenses to col ored couples.

MEXICAN SENSATION.
Resignation of General Reyes Creates
 Stir in Political Circles.

Mexico, December 24-The resignation of General Bernardo Reyes, who since January, 1900, has held the post of min ister of war, has caused a decided sen sation in political circles. He has made an excellent record in this office and has built up slowly a great reserve army which is an auxiliary to the regular forces. His administration of his office has been praised on all hands and in his retirement from the cabinet he car ries with him the general good will of his ministerial assistants. It is reported that General Reyes will again become governor of the important state of Neuvo Leon. whose capital is the city of Mon- terey It is probable that General Fran cisco Mena, at present minister of com munication and public works, will suc- ceed to the vacancy In the war depart ment involving some other cabinet changes.
 The immediate cause of General Reyes resignation is said to have been articles appearing in La Protesta, newspaper which violently attacked Finance Min ister Limantou, and which articles were attributed to a near relative of General Reyes, though this is denied today by the person concerned. At all events, General Reyes felt it incumbent on him to tender his resignation, and at pro- longed cabinet meeting held Monday night it was decided to accept the resig- nation of the war minister.
 The attacks on Minister Limantou were such as to bring the authors of the arti- cles within the purview of the law.
 General Reyes himself has maintained a consistent attitude in sustaining his political friendship with Minister Liman- tou, but from motives of delicacy, his relatives name having been connected with newspaper criticisms of his cabinet association, he decided to tender his resignation, which the president of the republic accepts in terms honorable to General Reyes
