AFFRAY IN BoGurHoMmE.
Two Negroes Wounded by Sh0ts Fired
 by Jim Rollins.

Two Negroes Wounded by Shets Fired
 by Jim Rollins.
 Jim Rollins, a negro, emptied his pis- tol at Paul Singleton and Richard Hale, two other negroes yesterday evening about 6:30 o'clock, painfully, but not fatally. wounding both. in an affray in Lee Walkers grocery store at the corner of Thurston and South Decatur Streets.
 A shroud of mystery surrounds the shooting scrape inasmuch as Singleton and Hale. who received bullet wounds, would not prefer charges of any char acter against Rollins, who assaulted them.
 Mounted Policemen Evans and Downs hurried to the scene of the shooting in time to arrest all three of the negroes on charges of partici- pating in an affray.
 According to the officers, Singleton, although he keeps peculiarly silent, Is believed to be innocent and 1t may be so proved. He walked into the store huriedly as if to see the cause of the shots which Rollins was firing at Hale. Suddenly the bullets came the way of Singleton and one struck him near the top of the forehead. The ball did not penetrate the skull. but burrowed un- der the scalp, coming out near the crown of the head.
 One of the first shots struck Hale in the shoulder.
 The cause of the trouble Is attributed to jealousy between Hale and Rollins over a woman.
 Hale also refuses to prefer any charge against Rollins.
 The negroes are held pending fur ther investigation.

DEMOCRATS URGED TO
 GO TO THE POLLS TUESDAY
Chairman Mallory Issues Stirring Appeal and Asks That All the Members of the Party
 Cast Their Ballots.

SSlnno, Nov. 5.--Special )--Hoi. H. s. D. Mallory, chairman of the Campaign Cofhmittee of the Democratic Party of Alabama today issued stirring appeal to the Democrats of the State, calling upon them to go to the polls Tuesday. The address follows:
 Tokthe Democrats of Alabama:
 A magnificent tribute will be paid thdi Democratic party when on Tuesday ne1A the Democratic voters in this State recbrd at the polls their unshaken faith in It's principles and add another victory to the unbroken record of more than a quarter of a century.
 The older people must not forget and the younger must learn the history of the cruel and corrupt rule of the Re- publican party in Alabama during the horrad era of so called reconstruction p--tlie yery thought of which arouses tt- dignAtion. It was under the Demo- cratic banner that we overthrow that shameful rule and have since wrought out a marvellous development in all that makes up a great commonwealth. For these reasons. if no other than State issues were involved in this elec- ti0n, loyalty to our party of liberty and just equality and an abiding sense of gratitude should impel every Demo- cratic elector in Alabama to cast his ballot on Tuesday next. But other and if possible more weighty reasons imperatively call him to the polls. The battle is on between the great parties of this republic. On the one side the Republicans-the party of imperialism, threatening to substitute for govern ment under the constitution of our fofefathers a rule more imperialiStic and lawless than was the one of which che heroes of 1775 decltSred their in- dependence; the party of trusts, the lniQuitous offspring of the robber tafiff, which are making commercial slaves of the American people; the party of centralization and sectional ism, hating you and your civilization and ready to crush you when the op- portunity comes; the party which has declared its purpose to disfranchise you because for your self-preservation you have in common with the other South aTn States, enacted laws to preserve the

Must Pay Assessment.

After a series of meetings held by the miners working at the Brookwood mines, where the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company has a tempo rary contract with the union miners. 1t has been decided that where the min CTS refused to pay the assessment of $1 per week for the strike fund they can not hold their employment, as the con tract made by this company with the union provides that all dues and as- sessments of the United Mine Workers will be collected by the company from the men given employment. More than 500 men are employed by the Ala bama Consolidated Coal and Iron Com pany and the matter of collecting the strike assessment of q per week from each man has been of great con- cern with other companies in this sec- ton who are still fighting the union miners organization.

WILL HURT HIS PARTY
THE REPUBLICANS DePL0RE Mn.
 R0OsEvELTss STATEMENT.
Express . Fear That the Rresfdent's Bitter Reply to Judge Parker
 VIII Work For De-

Birmingham, Nov. 5.--(Speciatl-- The letter of President Roosevelt rel- ative to the charges made By Judge Alton B. Parker, in which the Presi- dent used language the vigor of which no one can question, was the chief topic of conversation among local poli- ticians here today. Republicans here express fear that the letter will harm the cause of the Republican Party in the election next week. A prominent Republican said this morning:
 ''The expected has happened. The President has broken the traces and kicked over the dashboard. am afraid that he has made a very serious blunder."
 The Democrats are waiting for the reply of Judge Parker before making comment. As. stated by a Democrat, it makes but little difference in the South what President Roosevelt says or does, the South is against him and his party. With the Republicans, how ever, it Is a different thing. Those who would express an opinion today seem of the opinion that the President has injured his cause in giving out such letter. The Republicans In Birmingham who express themselves say that the letter will do harm in close States.
 The Mobile and Western Alabama.
 Colonel J. A Montgomery, the engi- neer in charge of the survey being made for the Mobile and Western Ala bama Railroad, which will be con- structed between Mobile and Birming- ham and thence northward to Florence and Huntsville is south of Besseuer. fifteen or twenty miles, looking after the work of running the first survey. It is said today that as soon as the survey has been made and 1t Is shown that a low grade railroad between Mo- bile and Birmingham is possible a con- struction company will be organized, backed with sufficient capital to build the road. The survey will seek a level country as much as possible so as to put down railroad which will have few heavy grades and as few curves as possible. The new road will pass through the rich cotton section of the black belt and will develop a section of the State not now touched by rail- roads. The new road, according to Colonel Montgomery, will be the short line from the gulf to Birmingham.

WARMING THE SETTLERS
Department of Interior Insists on a
stricter Interpretation Re-
garding Final Proofs.

The department OF the interior at
Washington, d. c.. has Informed the
United States land offices in the state
OF an important change in the
rules governing the final proof of
lands held under the homestead law.
The change reads as follows:
"Residence and improvement alone
are not sufficient to establish or sus-
tain homestead claim. The law re-
qulres cultivation of the land also.
Where the land is shown to be more
suitable Tor grazing and the produc-
ton OF hay than for cultivation of
crops requiring breaking of the land.
proof that it has been used i'm good
faith for these purposes may be ac-
cepted as proof of cultivation, but
proof should show that the claimagt
has actually used tle land for such
purposes and to what extent it has
been SO used.
The gist of this change of rules
seems to apply TO those who are hold
ing claims suitable for grazing pur-
poses, but who are not actually keep
ING stock upon them. This comes as
a timely warning for all those who
are so doing. and those to whom it
applies would do well in complying
with the present rules as set forth nv
the department OF the interior.
