MR. DOSTER SURPRISED
CHAIRMAN OF THAT KoUNTREE
 COMMITTEE IN TOWN.
He Says Its Report Will Not Involve Any One But the Secretary of the Press Associa-
 ton.

Hon. H. L. Doster of Prattville was in
 the city yesterday. MT. Doster IS Char-
 man of the Investigating Committee ap-
 pointed by President Yerby of the Ala
 bama Association to report upon secre-
 tary J. A. Rountrees conduct or the
 Canadian excursion the past Summer.
 MT. Doster's attention was called to the
 report printed in The Advertiser some
 days ago to the effect that Secretary
 Rountree was sending out letters to mem-
 bers of the State Press Association, urg-
 ing them to attend the meeting next Fri
 day at Birmingham and stating that the Investigating Committee was going to re- port not only in favor of expelling him, but also every member who had disposed of transportation.
 Mir. Doster said that he had been ap- prised of this more on the part of Roun- tree, and that he was both surprised and amused at his course. MT. Doster said he was not authorized to give out the report of the Committee as yet, but he could say that the Committee was ap- pointed to investigate Rountree only, and that 1t was not going outside of it's province. He said, furthermore, that as far as he was informed there was no in- tention on the part of anybody to expel any member because he had disposed of transportation.
 Mr. Doster expressed himself as very much astonished that Rountree had gone to such an extreme course as to send out an appeal of that kind misrepresenting the Committee. for which he was entirely
 unauthorized to speak. He did not be-
 lieve that 1t was calculated to strengthen Rountrees cause. --t

COMPLEMENTARY.
The Groom is Sheriff of Lawrence [

OA&s< County.
 Courtland, Oct el-(special.) )-Captair John s. Stephenson. sheriff of Lawrence county. and Mrs. Susie Kate Benner were married at the Courtland Hotel this week. This simple announcement means the consummation%o a conrtship of two of the most popular people of Lawrence county. Captain Stephenson is the first Democratic sheriff the county has had in twenty-five years. and won in the cleo ton three years ago on his popularity alone. His bride has been proprietress oi the hotel here for several years. and numbers her friends by the hundreds. They win live in Moulton till the end of Captain Supplements term of of1ce. after which they will probably move to Courtland.
 By an error of some one of the Iegis- Iative officials. Lawrence county will have four terms of circuit court each year, in- stead of three terms, as Is provided for in the general redistricting bill. When this bill came up for passage in the lower house of the Legislature. W. T. Lowe, the member for this county, prepared and succeeded in passing an amendment to this bill reducing the number of terms from four to three. By some means. in sending the bill back to the Senate, from the House. this amendment was lost sight of and the bill passed and was approved, allowing four terms.
 Four terms are more than are needed to dispatch the business of this county, and the next Legislature will doubtless correct the error.
