He has served one term as sheriff, 1t Is said, most acceptably Several of his friends in urging his appointment en- had" From the petitions and endorse ments filed in the Governors office Mir. Reeves was the popular candidate More voters of Pike asked his appointment than endorsed all the other candidates.
 The Governors attention was called again and again to the excellent way in which MT. Reeves had conducted the of- live. He had. moreover. two delegationh of prominent citizens to come to Mont gomery in his interest.

THE LILY WHITES LOST
THEY ARE DOWN IN TKE FIRST
 TILT WITH THE REFEREES.
They are Not Anti Roosevelt, But are Fighting to Keep Out the Negroes-The Negro Voters
 Will Have to Be Let In.

The lilly whites were knocked out in their first tilt with the Republican ref Arees of this State and it now looks very much like Roosevelt Is to have the Re- publican delegation to the next National Convention without a struggle. The ref erees are Messrs. J. 6. Thompson. Charles Scott and W. H. Aldrich.
 Some weeks ago the following resolu- ton was sent out. the members of the State Republican Committee asking that sentiment 1t expressed. This Is the res olution:
 We the Republican Executive Com mittee, do hereby declare 1t to be the policy of our party not to bar any reg istered and duly qualified voter who be- leves in Republican principles who will support our nominees. from participating in our party councils. and we hereby pledge ourselves, personally and as mem bers of said Committee to carry out this declared policy
 The members of the Committee who are reported as having signed the resolu- ton are, Messrs. N. L. Steele. Secretary; J. w. Hughes. Postmaster; W. s. Stand fer. Postmaster; James M Ragan. Post master; John Q. Hubbard, Postmaster; Henry F. Irwin. Assistant Postmaster W. C. Starke. C. M. Cox. Postmaster; W. w. Miliiken. Postmaster; J. J. Cur tis. A. q. Negley. H. G. Ashley. Deputy United States Marshal; H. E. Burkstress- CT. jonn B. lSDeu. Inree others, JOnn A Steel Stephen A. Leonard and C. P Lunsford. are claimed to have set them. selves right by letter to the referees ant will support the same policy.
 This is not a majority of the Commit tee, but 1t Is said that a sufficient mum her have expressed their intention to sup port it to the referees. to insure its adop. ton. A number of lily whites are said to favor Roosevelts nomination and 1t is not a fight against the President by any means. but seems to be for the rights of those negroes who are qualified voters
 MT J. o. Thompson. one of the referees speaking of the matter says:
 ''The basic principles of the party have been restored and there is nothing to be gained by engendering race hatred. The best interests in our State lie in the en- couragement of every section of our peo- pie to he law-abiding. property accumu- iating, educational getting citizens. The right to vote. however. under the new constitution fairly administered is only within the reach of intelligent. virtuous. pr operty- owning citizens
 Said a prominent Republican yesterday:
 That seems to he the position taken by the President and 1t looks like the lilly whites" overstepped the mark in ex cluding all negroes from their organiza- ton and that they will have to let in those negroes who have qualified them- selves to vote

With many. rheumatism. neuralgia and dyspepsia are daily tormentors Life is not safe when such ailments are permitted to run unchecked.
 If you. unfortunate sufferer. find your self burdened with any of the forms of disease just referred to. do not fail to give Paines Celery Compound trial. It is your only safety-your only true and certain deliverer from perils that end in death. Paine's Celery Compound has cured tens of thousands every spring time: 1t will do the same blessed work for you.

HEAD NOTES OF THE DECISIONS
 OF THE ALABAMA SUPREME COURT

2. Exemptions; selection may be made after conveyance of land: estoppel.-Un- der the constitution and statutes of this State, a resident has the right at any to be exempt as a homestead; and a pur- chaser of lands from such a. resident, buys at his own risk as to the exercise of this right; and the execution of a deed resided and which included more than 16o acres. but which Is void as to such part as may be selected by the grantor as a homestead. because it was not executed by his wife as required by the statute Code. Sec. 203D does not estop such grantor from afterwards selecting a por- tion of lands included in said deed as a homestead.
 8. Homestead; selection thereof-In the selection of a homestead from larger tract of land, as a general rule. the seiec- ton must be made with reference to the lines and subdivisions of the government survey, and the discretion vested in @ resident for the selection of a homestead must be exercised within the bounds of reason and justice: and therefore the selection of q homestead in a manner en- tirely arbitrary and capricious and in a way which makes the tract selected very irregular and fantastic in shape. will not be allowed.
