WHITES OF DECATUR
CONDEMN TEDDY
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS
ALIKE DENOUNcE ROOSEVELT
FOR HIS POLICY IN REGARD TO
lNDIANoLA PosToFFIcE.

New Decatur, January 5.-(Special)-
There is much discussion here over the
action of President Roosevelt as regards
the postofiee affair at Indianola, Miss,
and he is being criticized severely by all
white men, democrats and republicans
alike. The negroes, however. are rejoicing
over the matter and say that this last
move of the President shows clearly that
the President is their friend and an
enemy to the lilly whites of the south.
A leading republican of the state said
to your correspondent this afternoon
MIR. Roosevelt will never get the Ala
bama delegation In the national conven-
ton on account of his fondness for the
negro The negro was disfranchised by
the democrats; we had no hand in 1t; but
now that he is out all white republicans
say let him stay out. My party here In
Alabama believe like the democrats In
this respect, that this is a white mans
country and that only white men should
rule White men will always rule Ala
bama, no matter what Mr.. Roosevelt or
Mr.. Anybody Else may say, and you
may depend upon it"
Mr.. Roosevelt is very unpopular here
with all the whites.

NEGRO KILLED ACCIDENTALLY.
Tried to Separate His Dogs With Gun
and Weapon Was Discharged.

Prattville, January 5.-(Special )-Enoch
Capers, a negro boy, son OF Green Ca
pers, living on the Rogers plantation be-
low this place. was shot accidently ana
instantly killed last week. 1t seems from
best information that he was hunting
and his dogs engaged in fight with one
another, when he made an effort to part
them with his gun. The gun was cooked
and in some way the dogs caused the
gun to go off and thus emptied the whole
charge in the lower bowels Of Enoch'
killing him almost instantly.
Work grading down the hill on the
road leading easterly out of town was
begun this morning and the county,
town and citizens will spend $1,000 or $500
in this during the next few weeks. 1t IS
a matter of reaching an elevation OF
nearly three hundred feet above the level
of the streets in going distance of less
than two miles. A large portion of the
clay and gravel removed from this hill
will be brought down and placed on the
streets and sidewalks CT the town, thus
improving them.

Relentless on Whisky Men
ATTACKS FORE MAN OF JURY
People of Decatur Are Treated to a
Warm Fight In the Pulpit and
Newspapers-Sensat De-
velopments Are Expected.

New Decatur, January 5. = Especially =
The fight which is being waged against
the Sunday saloons by the Rev. W. Y.
Quisenberry, pastor of the Central Bap-
fist church, is assuming an interesting
phase and some sensations may be ex-
pected to follow In the near future.
A few days ago the Rev. Mr.. Quisen-
berry came out in a newspaper article
charging the city and state officials with
neglect of duty, and made special charges
against Charles T. Burt, foreman OF the
late grand jury. Among other Things ne
said he had seen Mr.. Burt enter Tune
and again two or three of the saloons on
Second avenue while he was foreman Oh
the grand jury, but did not know whether
Mr.. Burt drank or not. Mr.. Burt, IN an
article later, answered the minister by
saying the grand jury had examined fifty
witnesses, and with one exception all
said they had seen no Sunday selling.
In the last issue of the New Decatur
Advertiser Mr.. Burt gives DR.. Quisen-
berry some hot shot in reply to the
charges the minister made against him.
Mr.. Burt does not give the names of the
witnesses. but says for all he knows they
may have been selected by Mr.. Quisen-
berry In place of being selected by him
self and the acting solicitor He then
asks DR.. Quisenberry II he could swear
that he drank anything when he went
into the saloons and If he had seen him
go into a saloon on Sunday. Mr.. Burt
says as a matter of fact that he has been
In this city only once on Sunday for
many months and that Sunday he at
tended services at DIR. Quisenberry'
church and heard the doctor criticize the
city and state officials and throw his hot
shot at the Sunday saloons.
The saloons were closed yesterday as a
result of the fight which DR.. Quisen-
berry is waging against them.
Many people In the county are or the
opinion that a strong fight will be made
in the coming state legislature for dis
pensary In this county. II 1t were left to
a vote the country precincts would doubt
less go for dispensary, while the two
Decaturs would go against it. but If the
anti-whisky people could carry largo
enough vote in the Decaturs they would
win. AS 1t is now, the two Decaturs are

whisky is sold under a license. all other

INVESTIGATE COAL COMBINE.
Grand Jury of Cleveland Instructed to
Look Into the Matter.

Cleveland, O., January 5.-The grand

In Common Pleas court today and in
structed to investigate the charge that
combine exists among local coal deal
ers. The judge declared that information
had been procured indicating that such
a commission was In control of the local
coal trade.
Judge Neff quoted the provisions of the
Valentine antitrust law. 1t Is known
that the county prosecutor, Keeler, has In
his possession a complete list of the mem
bers of the local coal dealers association
and as a result interesting developments
are probable. The cost of soft coal has
been steadily advanced Of late until it Is
now selling for double the price asked six
months ago.
