PEN PICTURE OF
NOMINEE DAVIS

ture, and he is essentially demo-
cratic.
His popularity was manifest
the moment he appeared on the
station platform. While the
Tammany men did not know him,
there was not trainman there,
down to the water boy, who did
not recognize him at sight. They
were not afraid of him, either.
They crowded up to him, sure OF
welcome every one, and they
were not disappointed.
Senator Davis shook the grimy
hand of the engineer without the
least hesitation and called him by
his first name. He asked how the
run had been, and whether he had
any trouble with certain grades
that the Senator as railroad
man knew as well as the man
in overalls. He shook hands with
the others of the train crew and
received their congratulations
with a smile that lit up his face
wonderfully. He admitted good
naturally that he had just heard
of his nomination himself, and
that it was a genuine surprise to
him.
1t was at this juncture that
some one Of the train crew told
Leader Tom Foley, of the Second
Assembly district of New York,
that the tall, square-shouldered
old gentleman on the platform
was the Vice Presidential nomi-
nee. Foley looked incredulous
and then sought out the conduc-
tor to make sure. When he learn
ed that it was really Senator Da-
Wis and that he had been noml-
mated after the Tammany special
left st. Louis, Foley marched over
to Senator Davis with outstretch-
ed hand.
care you Senator Davis?' ask
ed Mr.. Foley.
Eyes, that is my name" re-
piled the Senator, looking over
the head of a brakeman to see
Foley.
"Well, sir" I wish to congrat.
ulate YOU on your nomination.
pursued Foley, shaking the others
hand cordially.
"Thank you,' replied the Sen
ator, giving Foley's hand a grip
that almost made him vince. Il
think they could have found a
better candidate, but | shall &C
cept and work for the ticket. "

NEGRO MAY GET JOB.
S. M. MURPHY WANTS TO SUCCEED
 BYRON TRAMMELL.
ROOsevelt's Alabama Referees Said to be Again Debating Appointments in the Judicial Department--
 After Marshal's Head.

A negro may succeed Byron Tram mell as office deputy under United States Marshal l.. J. Bryan when Mr :. Trammell goes to Dothan as Postmas- ter by recent appointment of President Roosevelt.
 Notwithstanding Marshal Bryan de- clared yesterday that he had no official knowledge of the resignation of MT. Trammell 1t Is well known about the Federal building that the promotion of MT. Trammell and the consequent va the Marshal much concern.
 The negro who is desirous of being named for the vacant office which pays s1.500 year is s. M. Murphy, q school teacher of Eufaula who was a de elegate to the Republican National Convention and who is Said to be in high favor with J, O. Thompson and Charles H. Scott, President Roosevelt's referees of Alabama patronage. Moreover. 1t Is said that Murphy Is a close personal friend of Booker Washington who acts in an advisory capacity to Messrs. Thompson and Scott. It Is not be- lieved. however. that Washington would endorse the negro Murphy for position in which he would come in daily contact with the white citizens of the State in a clerical capacity and one in which he would be thrown in confidential relations with Marshal Bryan.
 Murphy has been to Montgomery and has discussed tlle situation with Re- publican officeholders. He wants the place and wants 1t badly and 1t is said that he has declared that if the ref erees keep faith with hlm he will get

Huntsville, Aug. -(SpeciaL)- w. D. Loucks. twirler, who recent jumped the Spokane team in the Pacli.I Coast League, has signed with Hunts vile. Loucks was on the slab for the first time yesterday, and atter settinS warmed up in the fourth inning al' lowed Decatur no nits' Inree oA the six hits credited to Decatur were scratches and would not have been possible on a dry diamond Loucks got two base hits and q sacrifice In three times at bat.
 Columbia and Sheffield teams at Colum- bia. all of which were won by the home team. has raised the question as to whether more than two games may be played in one day President Van Vaikenburgh of the Huntsville Asso- citation. Manager Prout and Manager Stouch of Decatur say not. Sheffield certainly made a unique record in get ting only one run in the four.
 The four leading teams, Knoxville, Decatur, Columbia and Huntsville. are within easy reach of the pennant. and Chattanooga will be contender if that team continues to win games at the nave won only six more games than Huntsville, which is now in fourth place. and with thirty-four more games yet to be played great many changes in the standing may be seen.
 Mickey O'Brien. formerly with Shef- field. has been signed by Huntsville. and Is working behind the bat.
 Columbia recently completed a tour around the circuit and won seven out of thirteen games away from home The most remarkable feature of the trip was the fact that Of the seven games, five of them were shut-outs.
 Manager Hightower of Chattanooga now has a stronger team than he has had during the season. Since Second Baseman Wheeler quit, Burt has been playing second acceptably, and M;- Shane. a good player, who was with the team early in the season. has re- joined the bunch, and Is playing short. Bates Fisher Is again catching and Whitaker. one of the heaviest hitters in the league. will be back in the game In day or two. after having been laId up with a split hand
 Charles Akers is now manager of the Knoxville team since Moffet,s withdrawal. Numerous changes in the personnel have Caused the team to strike its first losing streak of tine season.

Mir. Thompson has declared in a res cent interview that the place would probably go to E. N. Winters of Dos than. who was slated by the referees lor she cpia',s.t piiaee held ny Deputy Marshal referees desired to remove and at whose removal Judge Thomas G.

 taken the position that the office deputy of the marshal Is a confidential officer of the marshafs office and that the Judge of the court will have noth- ing whateyer to do with the appoint ment unless the referees attempt to fasten deputy on the marshal whom the marshal does not want.
 This Is exactly what 1t is said the referees propose to do. Furthermore 1t Is an open secret about the federal building that the referees. Messers Scott and Thompson, desire to make troublS for Marshal Bryan in the hope of ultimately securing his place for some other Republican and that they are using the vacancy of Mir. Trammell to put the marshal in a bad predica- ment.
 It is highly probable that the mat ter will be solved within few days " eiio appoiHthheHl oi some hepuDlf- can whose name has not yet been men tioned, to succeed MT. Trammell.
 MT. Thompson has declared that the referees will make all of the appoint ments except perhaps in the judicia- ry' by selecting Republicans. It may develop that the marshals office deputy is "in the judiciary"
 Meanwhile Republicans of Montgom- cry and federal office- holders have silent tongues. No one will discuss the situation except in a hushed voice.
 MT. Scott Is in New York, MT Tram mell will go to Dothan to take his new place Monday and Marshal Bryan has nothing to say.

 tral City.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau, Selma, Aug. II.
 What seems to have been a carefully made plan to burn the store of G. w. Martin dG Broad Street near North was discovered by the police this morning and a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Martin himself who is charg ed with arson. Martin has not bsen apprehended and 1t Is believed that he has left the city.
 OHcers Rhodes, Moseley Blanton and Davis this morning smelled smoke in Martins store and after calling in Foreman Bohlia of the Phoenix Fire Company. entered the place.
 They found the floor saturated with kerosene oil and in a tin cracker box was burning excelsior which was evidently intended for a slow torch. The officers extinguished the flame and thus prevented conflagration. Early this afternoon Chief of Police Walters issued the warrant for the arrest of Martin. but he could not be found.
