Marriage at Decatur of Interest to
 Friends in Birmingham.


 The Atlanta Journal prints the following account of a marriage which is of inter est in Birmingham as the bride and groom have many friends in this city:
 Miss Georgia Anne Fitzhugh Thompson and MT. Paul Edwin Johnson were mar ried last evening at half past six o'clock at the home of the brides sister, Mrs. Charles E. Graham. in Decatur.
 It was very pretty wedding, though very quiet affair, with only the best friends and the relatives present.
 The house was made into a bower of palms, ferns and smilax. which were used in every possible place.
 The entrance of the bridal party was marked by Mendelssohn's wedding march played on the piano by Miss Mary Kirk patrick. with violin accompaniment by Miss Lipper of Texas.
 The bride and groom stood before an altar of palms and smilax. among which gowed dozens of tiny green and white tapers
 The bride looked very attractive in a traveling suit of castor cloth with hat to match. and she carried brides roses.
 There were no attendants.
 A buffet luncheon was served, the young couple leaving immediately after for a trip through Florida and Cuba. On their return they will be at home with the grooms parents MT. and Mrs. J. l.. John son, In Decatur.

FIREMEN FOLLOW
 A CANDY PULLING
SOUTHSlDE BAPTIST CHURCH BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE WHICH ORIGINATED FROM FUR MAGE UNDER PULPIT.

Fire damaged the Southside Baptists Church yesterday morning to the extent of 5000. which is fully covered by insur- ance. The fire caught from the furnace was burning fiercely when the depart ment arrived.
 Chief Mullin, fearing that the flames would reach the organ, sent for addi- tional apparatus and had everything ready to prevent the fire spreading out the organ was saved. Had the flames reached it the church would probably have been doomed for every pipe of an organ acts as a fue and 1t would nave speard the flames at terrific rate.
 Yesterday morning some of the chil- dren of the Sunday school had a candy pulling. and fire was built in the furn- ace. The wood work just above 1t caught and the fire had gained considerable headway before 1t was discovered. It was in the basement and was hard to get at
 When Chief Mullin arrived 1t was al- most impossible to get to the seat of the trouble, and fearing that the organ might be damaged he sent for the hose wagons from the east and west end and the north side department, as we'll as the engine from the latter place. This was not used, but the hose was connected and all that would have been necessary in case the flames had gotten beyond control would have been to turn on water.
 The church was damaged considerably by water and smoke. It will be possible to hold services there today as usual. The church and Sunday school building is covered by s3o 900 insurance The de- pertinent had to fight a bad fire in the same place and from the same cause about four or five years ago.

amount of advertising out of Vulcan. An eminent sculptor has almost completed the plastor cast and his work is attract ing great deal of attention in the east. But the advertisement that Birmingham is getting now Is small compared with the splendid impression that the thousands who are to gaze upon the statue at St. Louis will have of Birminghams re- sources. Every man in this district must feel an interest in this matter and hum dreds of them are able to make liberal contributions to the fund.-
 The canvassing committees will be es- pecially active this week, and it is be- lieved that the entire sum required to pay the expenses of the exhibit will be secured before the end of the month. Not less than $9O,O00 will suffice

Mir. MiIIer's Candidacy.

'In yesterdays issue, in discussing county politics, your references to MT. H. c. Miller's candidacy for county treas- urer are, In a measure, misleading" said a close friend of MT. Miller yesterday. They imply that a threatened contest of MT. Henry B. Gray's nomination led to a trade between him and Mir Miller, whereby Mir Miller should have MT. Gray's support this time. This is erro- neous. There was no such trade. He did contest that nomination.
 "The facts in reference to that contest are that MT. Miller believed errors had been made against him Tn several pre- cincts in counting the votes and that un- der the primary plan he had right to a recount of the ballots returned and he erdcavored to get the county committee to recount them. It refused. He applied to the state executive committee and it refused his demand.
 Thus the matter was fought out, through the highest tribunals of the party without any suggestion of a com promise. And having exhausted all the remedies provided by the party law to oOtdil Wiltit hc thou6Ht was Justiy iio, and having failed. he, as loyal party man, submitted to the decrees of the constituted authorities of the party and gave MT. Gray and all the rest of the ticket his loyal support, but then an- nounced that he would in the next demo- cratic primary again be a candidate for treasurer
 Some months ago, Mir. Gray, volun- tarily and without solicitation, declared his purpose to support MT. Miller in this race. This support, and the support of many of the men who were warm poiti- cal friends of MT. Gray, is appreciated. but none of it because of any trade with MT. Gray, nor as a delivery of consid- eration for not contesting the last nomi- nation.
 MT. Miller beliescs himself the choice of the people and expects to be nominated on the straight vote, without resorting to any trade"

severely, as he had erred in shooting too quickly and had erred badly. He saw no reason why a policeman had a right to shoot at a man who was walking and did not stop when some one called to him. He said that a policeman had no r glt fo shoot unless he was defending his own or some one else's life. or when he was certain the man he was shooting at was a criminal and was trying to escape.
 Commissioner McCary said he thought the department had been very careful about shooting in the past. and that he thought frequently policeman had not shot when they should have done so That policemen had been wounded because they were too careful. although he thought this was a time when the officer was too quick
 Commissioner Phillips could not see how a policeman could tell a burglar from a citizen If the citizen does not stop when told to do so Commissioner Johnston re- piled that that was just what he was ar guing; that in every case the doubt should be on the side of the citizen, and that the policeman should not shoot until he knew.
 Chairman Parker.
 Chairman Parker agreed that even the burglar should have the shadow of the doubt, but that there was another side to the question. He said: Suppose that this citizen had proved to be a burglar and the policeman had not halted him; that next morning 1t was discovered that a house had been robbed. What would public sentiment have been under those circumstanees?"
 He said that every one would have said the policeman should have shot the man. He said there had been kicks about the service on the Highlands and that these policemen were put out there for the pur- pose of halting people and seeing what they were doing out at late hour. He thought the policeman was doing what he considered the right thing. If he thought the policeman had been drinking, or if there was any evidence to show that he had taken a drink. he would certainly vote Co punish him severely.
 The commission then proceeded to vote.

 Mrs. Hall and three children occupied the second story, and had the fire been discovered a minute later than 1t was the children would probably have been burned to death. As 1t was Mrs. Robbins and Mrs. Hall just did get them out of the house before escape was cut off by the flames, 5
