DELEGATION MAY REACH COMPROM|S Movement on Foot to Settle the
 Ticket Trouble. AN INTERESTING SITUATION Both Sides Say There Is No Issue and Both Favor an Uninstructed Dele
 eation-Activity Among
 Candidates.
AN INTERESTING SITUATION

There is a movement on foot in eoun- ty political circles looking towards the selection of a compromise ticket" of thirty candidates for delegates from Jeff ferson county to the state convention. At present there are two tickets of thirty candidates each for delegates to the state convention, one being headed by Capt. Frank s. White and the other by former ex-Governor Joseph F. Johnston. Both sides or tickets claim there Is not any point at issue. and that all desire to go to the Montgomery convention unin. struted
 It is said that the reason for the pro- posed "compromise ticket" is that the race for the presidency of the railroad commission is being brought into this fight In some manner. and that it will be best to have only one ticket for dele gates to the state convention.
 Thompson Not Party to It.
 B. A. Thompson, chairman of the dem ocratic executive committee, when asked about the proposed compromise ticket last night, said that he had heard some  if and therefore knew nothing official con corning the matter.
 T. Y. Prude and w. T. Poe were yes terday served with the notices Of the mandamus proceedings instituted by ii. K White and others against J. B. Aird, chairman and the other members of the subcommittee of the Jefferson county soaking to compel the subcommittee to have the names of George II. Estes, Lee Cowart, William F. Fort J. H. F. Mosley and H. K. White placed upon the official ballots as candidates for delegates to the state convention, by Deputy Sheriff Clyde En- nis at their places of business. The notices for E. A Little and Dr. M. C.. Ragsdale were sent to the Bessemer of ficer of the sheriff., to be served from there
 Other members of the subcommittee will be served today. They are ordered to appear before Judge Charles A. Senn of the city court of Birmingham Satur- day morning at 10 o'clock and show cause why premptory writ shall not be issued against them
 Much Activity.
 There Is much activity among the can didates for the various county offices. The race for probate judge Is probably one of the most interesting ever contested in Jeff ferson county. Judge Samuel F. Greene and Judge J. P. Stiles. the two aspirants for the office, are hard at work and both sides claim victory
 Judge Greene has opened headquarters at No 2121s Twenty-first street. W. H. Kettig Is the chairman of the central campaign committee and James Pitts Hawkins Is the secretary. Judge Greene announces that his campaign will be con- ducted largely by his central committee.
 The headquarters of Judge Stiles are located in the Walker building on First avenue, and Edward N. Hammil, his campaign manager. is in charge.
 Several other candidates for county offices have opened headquarters.

At Last

Shame, rather than sadness, has
been the over whelming feelln g
when our people have gone to the
Monterey cemetery heretofore. The
neglect was not due to disrespect
for the dead, but to the lack OF or
canization and the selection Of
some one to look after the work
The matter has been taken in hand,
and, already the grounds present a
much better appearance. After
these are thoroughly cleared and
dressed up, Mr.. II. A. Slaven, sur
veyor, has offered to make careful
survey and blue print of the same,
the only consideration asked beng
some one to assist him, and a sur
f1cient mum Der Of stones or brick
to mark the corners. Mr Slaven
insists upon this latter point, as
the marking of corners with wood
is unsatisfactory. The town can
not afford to let this generous offer
go unimproved, and we hope the
trustees will push the present work
so that the other may follow
promptly.
The people are not only wiling,
but eager to contribute, each his
part, toward this improvement and
a permanent system. Captain Ma
thenv has agreed to furnish a list
of lot owners, as nearly complete
AS he can, and, if assessment blanks
are needed, the Recorder tenders
them gratis. One dollar IA year,
or perhaps so cents, from each one
interested, will keep the grounds
in nice condition, and beautify and
improve the approach.
Lei the trustees select superln-
tendent who will keep the ball
rolling. We urge it, not as an
individual, but on behalf of all the
people.
