WILL HEAR CONTESTS
STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
 WILL MEET TODAY.
Committee Is Called Together to Hear Contest from Northeastern Chan cery Division, Perry, Marengo
 and Houston Counties.

The State Executive Committee of .he Democratic party will meet at noon today in the City Council chamber. The committee has been called to- gether by Chairman H. S. D. Mallory to pass upon contests which have aris- en in the Northeastern Chancery Divis- lon. Marengo. Perry and Houston Counties.
 The contes from the three coun- ties are aftermaths of the spring pri- maries. The contest from the North eastern Chancery Division is result of the meeting of the Executive Com mittee of the Chancery Division in An niston, September 1. at which w. w.. Whitesides was nominated for chancel- Tor. The authority and power of the com mittee of the chancery division to make such a nomination has been challenged and the State Committee will be called upon to make ruling on its authori- ty. W. B. Oliver who was a candidate for the nomination Is said to be the contestant in the case.
 In Perry County the contest Is over the nomination for tax assessor and circuit clerk. Both the Marengo and the Houston County contests are over the nomination for probate judge.
 The first question that tLe commit tee will have to decide Is whether li mas the authority to go Into contests that have been decided by the county executive committees. The claim will be made that under the new primary law The committee has no right to take up appeals from the party governing bod- les of the counties.
 The meeting promises to he well at tended. Indications are that there will be no trouble in securing a quo rum as has been the case at some pre- vious meetings.
 The meeting has already drawn Q large number of State and County po- Iitical leaders to the city and many more are expected to come In today Each of the counties which will pre- sent contests are represented by large delegations.
 Among those who reached the city last night were D. J. Meador of Ma rengo County. E. A. deGraffenreid and Thomas E. Knight of Ille County. Fred S. Blackmon. w. C. Tunstall. Jr w. P. Ackers, s. F. Grier of Cal noun County. J. H. Stewart and A H. Glover of Perry County. J. II.

Bandits Rob Mail and Express and
 Make Good Haul.
 St. Paul. Minn., Sept. 11.-A special to The Pioneer Press from Winnepeg. Manitoba, says:
 At 9:30 last night the Canadian Pa- cifc westbound trans-Continental ex- press was held up by four masked men west of Mission Junction. Three of the locomotive and at the point of re- volvers ordered Engineer Scott to stop the train. They left one man to guard the engineer, the others taking the fireman with them.
 Three of the bandits compelled the fireman to uncouple the mail and ex- press car, the fourth man standing guard over the train and conductor Warrell. who attempted to go forward when the train stopped. The robbers then proceeded with engine and ex- press cars several miles west.
 Express Messenger Herbert Mitch> ell at first refused to open the car door but on being informed that the car would be blown up with dynamite, of which they had a quantity. he com- piled. From the safe the robbers SC. cured four or five thousand dollars in gold dust and about $1.000 in cur- rency.
 The mail clerks were similarly com pelled to open the mail car which was rifed of the contents of registered mail sacks. The engine. express and mail car were then run to a point east of Warnoch. where the robbers took to the woods.
 "A special train with a posse was ordered to the scene"

Hungarian Roustabouts.

St. Louis Globe -Democras-
 It is enough to make the old Mississippi river men who have passed away and gone to their reward stir in the tomb could they know that Hungarians are to be substituted for negroes as roustabouts on the river. This shatters the last tradition. We can not imagine these silent. taciturn little men of Central Europe making the moonlight nights vocal with their minstrelsy on the lower deck. of scrambling with each other for nickels thrown by sportive passengerA Nor shall we believe that the mate dars unwind the panorama of picturesque pro- fanity at his long, wavering. undulatina line of roustabouts they move from deck to shore with the cargo. The dusky roust- abouts hears these objurgaticns with a joy ous and appreciative ear, and welcomes burst of originality in 1t by rolling the whites of his eyes expressively at his fei- lows, or, if 1t is particularly moving. by loud Yah, yah yah" that is reward enough for the objurgator. What will the Hun garian care for the expletive wit that stira the responsive negro heart so deeply. He will not understand 1t. and if he did his perception of the humor of swearing is not of the open and ready nature of that of the sons of Ham. He would get mad about it. Everything is changing on the river. The passengers are not the same. the boats are smaller the table far is sadly scant. anl luxury has long since departed.

KENTUCKY FARMERS
HAVE PURCHASED THE FAMOUS
 STONE PLACE.
We'll Known KentucIkians Buy Mont- gOmery plantation Out of Which They Will Make
 Model Farm,

A model farm. raising both staple and trucking products, as we'll as high grade stock. will be put into operation in Montgomery County shortly by up- to-date agriculturists from the West, on the we'll known Stone place. eight miles from the city.
 From MT. Frank Kohn, one of the firm of F. M. Kohn 6. Sons. 1t Is learn ed that during the past week negotia- tions were concluded with a party of Kentucky people for the purchase of the plantation owned by Dr. H. L.. Stone. eight miles from Montgomery on the Selma Road.
 The purchasers are four of the best of Kentucky farmers. The party con- sists of MT. Hiram Young, his brother. Larry Young, MT. White and MT. Mad dox.
 The Stone plantation is considered one of the best prairie and sandy land places in Montgomery County. It con- sists of 1900 acres and Is a very well improved place. being the ante-bellum home of Dr. Stones father This prop erty was bought jointly by the four Kentuckians, and 1t Is their intention to make their homes on the place and to try to develop 1t into a complete and model farm. They will very probably develop a system of irrigation and raise cotton, corn, all or the tTuCklng products and especially Irish potatoes.
 The price paid for this property Is $2250 per acre. which Is probably the highest price for which any sandy land plantation has sold in Montgomery County at that distance from the city in very many years. and is a tribute to the intelligent management and ad- vanced ideas of Dr. Stone.
 Every agricultural department that can be pursued with profit in this sec tion will be undertaken by the pur- chasers of this property. In connec- tion with the farming operations there will be run a complete dairy and stock business.
 The settling of these gentlement in Montgomery County Is the outcome of the energy put forth by Mir Kohn last fall at the time when MT. Hagan of Kentucky. was induced to establish a fancy stock farm in this county, and 1t Is within a reasonable probability that several other people of class may within the very near future join MT. Young and his associates in their new home in Montgomery County
 While other sections of the State are catering to the cheaper class of immi- grafton. 1t Is a noteworthy fact that the best class of Western people are the ones attracted to this immediate sec tion.
