OFFICER KILLS NEGRO.
James Herndon Was Resisting Arrest
In Greensboro.


Greensboro, December 10. (Specia1.)-
Walter Seals, deputy sheriff of Hale
county shot and instantly killed a negro
named John Herndon, this afternoon at
8 o'clock. 1t seems that Seals went
to Oil Mil. to arrest Herndon on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons.
The negro resisted the officer who then
drew his pistol and fired the ball strll1-
ing the negros heart, producing imme-
date death.
Herndon was one of the best hands
at the OIL Mill, and his loss handicaps the
manager Seals came at once to town
and gave himself up. AS an officer he
was always fearless in discharge of his
duty. Early this week he went to the
assistance OF Night Waterman Stokes,
and succeeded In capturing a fleeing ne
gro, who was wanted on a charge OF
vagrancy.

ton In order to secure an absolutely accu-
rate account of cotton ginned The letter
Is as follows:
Mr. II. Il. l.. Mel Special Agent. Selma,
Alabama.
Dear Sir: | acknowledge receipt of
your letter OF the first instant, In which
you suggest the ACCESSIBILITY Of a congress
slonal enactment providing a revenue
license for cotton ginners as a means
Of collecting statistics of cotton glnned.
In reply, 1 have to inform you that a
bill containing in substance the plan
you suggest was recently Introduced In
congress, and has received some consid-
Grafton. / am not sure, however. that
the voluntary system is not preferable:
under the revenue plan very large num-
Der of inspectors would be required,
failing greater expense and the inspection
Of revenue agents would probably be
distasteful to the ginners.
Certainly valuable results would be Sc
cured from a uniform system among he
ginners of Keeping account of the guam
tity Of cotton passing through their es-
adjustments. and legislative enaetments
should be effective in accomplishing this
result. However / believe that this legis-
latlon should be undertaken by the state
legislatures rather than By congress.
Texas has law providing a uniform
method of keeping records at the ginnerles
by way of tracing stolen cotton. \ SINH
lar law In other cotton producing states
would be useful for a like purpose, and
at the same time assist this office In Sc
curing accurate statistics OF cotton
ginned.
The plan OF publishing statements OF
the progress Of the eanvasses OF agents
grew out Of an urgent demand ON the
part of the public for more frequent re-
ports | have selected this method In the
hope of placing the information at the
disposal of the public at the earliest
possible moment, and In this way satisfy
the demand for more frequent publlca-
tons. 1t is impossible TO give out the
results In form Of complete reports be-
fore all the agents have made their re-
turns and as the facilities for travel and
other conditions differ widely throughout
the cotton producing states. II often hap
pens that a few late reports will delay
the publication a number Of days.
II should be kept IN mind that the OBJ
ject Of the office Is TO comply with tho
net Of congress directing the collection
and publication of statistics Of cotton
ginned and not to weight any possible
effect which these reports may have
upon the market
Approaching the interest which you
manifest in the cotton statistical work
of this office, I am.
Very respectfully,

NEED OF MORE ROOM IS

Alabamas need of a modern building for
the transaction OF the business of the
commonwealth is SO apparent that he who
even walks along the street may read
and appreciate It. 1t was so plain to the
last session of the legislature that $780,
900 was appropriated with which to repair
the old structure now used as capitol.
| Not an officer of the state but is brought

has delayed the commencement of work
on repairs authorized In the already men,
toned appropriation until 1t is beginning
to be believed that the problem of maxi
ing the present old structure adequate
and comfortable with the money now
available is too great for the capitol inn
provement commission To solve. With
this comes the query: "Why improve at
all?' and the consequent Interrogation,
why not build n capitol In keeping with
| the Importance Of the state, and sufficient
for all the present and constantly grow
ing demands of Its many and varied bust
ness interests" This question was put
to a member of the capitol commission
this week That may yet be the out
come" he replied. Why should Mississippi
with nothing but its farming and lumber
interest be more able to own and enjoy
a million dollar capitol built ON modern
| and convenient plans, than Alabama the
| iron price-maker of the world owner of
| scores of furnaces and the only prac-
tical steel and steel rail producing in
dustries Of the south?
Why not build a modern capitol? The
