(Norfolk Landmark.)
In the description Of the plans for the
Carnegie library which Is about to be
built here. 1t is set forth that around
the cornice Of the front OF the building
viii be cut the names Of Virgil Norfolk
Public Library Homer On the Thomas
street side viii be cut the names OF
Emerson. Whittier, Lowell, Longfellow.
Hawthorne. Irving, and Bryant.
It Is obvious that the Boston architect
whose design has been selected has given
exclusive consideration to his own sec
ton with regard to American literature
The Eentleman's plans In other respects
may be admirable, but the Landmark
protests against his idea OF cutting a
whole galaxy OF New England and New
York names on the building and leaving
out the South.
q It Is all right to put Virgil and Homer
on the front: but why not drop a few
OF the New England names from the side
and give our own famous names a
chance? What Is the matter with Pos.
sInd HAyne. and Tfmrod. and Hope? Per-
hAps the library management did not In
tend tor the Boston architects list Of
names to get out until amended. At any
rats. the list 10 subject to change and
needs It badly.

 The Imprisoned Man Will Carry His Fight Against His Return to Chicago Before. the Governor.

While requisition papers signed by Gov. ernor Yates of Illinois will be in Mont gomery today and Detective Kehoe of the Chicago police will accompany the reuui-
 sitton, it is. probable that trouble will be
 had before William R. Lytle, charged with
 assault to murder, can be taken in GUS.
 tody by the detective. It will be remembered that Monday night Lytle was arrested at the home of
 his sister, Marie Gordon, 223 Smythe Street. and confined in the Montgomery
 city prison on instructions from the su- perintendent of police of Chicago charg. ing him with assault to murder on a re- groyl Jake Smith. s.f sf .
 The alleged assault took place Friday
 night in a questionable neighborhood in
 Chicago, while Lytle and his sister were in company. Lytle soon after fled to
 Montgomery. Sunday night, Marie Cor. don or' Mamie Lytle, shot herself fatally, Lytle1 immediately secured counsel to effect his release by habeas corpus writ
 The writ was denied by Judge w. H.
 Thomas, but the case was appealed to the Supreme Court.
 Additional counsel having been secured
 by the imprisoned young man, the per-
 mission of Governor Jelks was secured to
 hear the cause of Lytle before the reoui. sition papers were signed. . Last night Chief A. s. Gerald of the Montgomery police force received two | telegrams of vital importance in the case One was to the effect that the reQuisi- tions had been mailed, while the other told Chief Gerald that Detective Kehoe l would reach Montgomery today and that | the condition of Jake Smith, the shot ne- gro, was critical.

REUNION AT srANsEL.

 Carrollton. Aug. 1s-(Special.) )-The Con- federate reunion at Stansel, Pickens County. yesterday was attended by 200 veterans and about 2,OO0 men, women and children from this. Tuscaloosa, Fayette and Lamar counties, Alabama. and Lowndes and Noxubee counties, sAass.
 John H. Richardson, a one-armed vet- eran, who once lived in this County. came from his home in Baldwin, Miss, to meet his old comrades once more. Captain W. S. Coleman of West Point, Miss, was present shaking hands with the two or three veterans left of his company 'SThe Dixie Boys" The ranks are getting thin and but few members of the many com panies raised in Pickens. answered the roll call. d
 Judge s. H. Sprott of Sumter County, and Hays Rogers of Pickens, old veter- ans, delivered addresses to the veterans and J. B. Stansel spoke for the sons of veterans. The speeches seemed to strike sympathetic chord, judging from the way the speakers were applauded. Com rade Rodgers in his speech, related few amusing incidents of the war that were enjoyed very much.
 In future the veterans will hold annual reunions in this County, as their com mander, Captain James J. Gardner. is working up great interest in the cause, and for the first time has interested the sons and they, are organizing camps In all the little towns of the County.
