Wednesday, March 16, 1904.
Mr.. Joe Nance Made $500 Over and
Above EXPENSES.


MIR. Joe Nance had one hundred bales OF
cotton In the Abbevlle Ware House which
he sold one day last week. He paid for 1t an
average of about e:41 and sold it for l6 cents.
A fter settling expense Of storage he had
clear profit OF $500 on the investment, not
counting interest. The profit averaged
SSS. bale.
The weight at the ware house held out
equal to the original weight, and the cotton
was kept as nicely as possible. Mr.. Nance
was paid one fourth OF one cent per pound
more than was offered for cotton that had
been stored under tree. This is only one
evidence OF the advisability OF fstoring CO tton, +,
while other advantages may be seen at a
glance.
Mr.. Nance was greatly pleased with his
treatment at the Ware House, and he speaks
In the highest terms of its management.
Mr. Nance has reason to rejoice at his sue
cess.

FRANK DUNCAN
SAFE IN JAIL
Continue, from First Paee)


for a REPETITION of his former escape Dun
can has been placed in what is known
as the CONDEMNED cell" on the second
floor of the jail building and next to
the wall on the west side. Deputy Sher-
iff Courson keeps constant guard for
twelve hours and is then relieved by Dep
uty Sheriff Love. These officers who
are among the true and tried" keep the
prisoner constantly in si0iht and there is
APPARENTLY no possibility of his escape.
Duncan will probably be arraigned be-
fore Judge Greene Monday. There seems
to be some question as to how much time
must be given the prisoner before he is
executed Some say that he can be exc
cuted in thirty days after sentence and
some say it is twenty-eight days. Judge
Greene is investigating the question. The
popularity of the case is that Duncan
had appealed to the supreme court and
this appeal was pending when he escap-
ed. The supreme court upon knowledge
of his escape dismissed the appeal and
now all that is necessary Is for the pris-
oner to be brought before Judge Greene
and sentenced to be executed

Conflicting Statements as TO
Major Daniels Nomination
DANIELS HAS ANNOUNCED
Race for Vacancy In Third Regiment
Made BY Resignation of Mecon-
nell Is Now Between DAN
iels and Kennedy.

Either the officers Of Company c. at
Gadsden, have or have not nominated
Major Joe L. Daniels for lieutenant COL
onel of the regiment. On Thursday night
the Age-Herald received telegram from
First Lieutenant Charles H. Echols, stat
ing that the officers of Company G had
nominated Major Daniels, and last night
another telegram was received, signed by
three officers of the company. denying
that they had nominated Major Daniels.
At least there is a difference of opin-
ion, as will be shown by the kilograms,
which are as follows:

Major Joe L. Daniels was nominated
by officers of Company for lieutenant

Major Daniels has announced for lieu
tenant colonel to run against Captain
Hughes B. Kennedy A telegram was re-
ceived from Admission last night which
was as follows:
',Major ]. L. Daniels, senior officer or
the Third regiment, A N. G., now In
command of the regiment, announced to-
day that he would be a candidate Tor
lieutenant colonel to succeed Lieutenant
Colonel Frank P. Mcconnell, resigned.
He is said to have the support of six OF
the eleven captains in the regiment"
This announcement knocks in the head
the candidacy of Captain Ed e. Smith Of
the random Light Artillery, as he was sup
posed to have been backed by Major
Daniels and his friends. 1t also kills the
slate which was said to have been formed
for Major Daniels for colonel and Major
Simpson for Lieutenant colonel.
Captain Hughes B. Kennedy Is the
other candidate for lieutenant colonel,
and his friends believe that he has ex-
cellent prospects to be elected. 1t Is be-
lieved that majority Of the officers of
the regiment will vote for him, as he has
been in the A. N. G. for the past seven
teen years, and is considered one of the
best military men in the state. He was
formerly adjutant of the regiment.

ADJUSTMENTS.
AT THE JEFFERSON.
"PolIY Primrose"

Adelaide Thurston appeared at the JEFF
ferson theatre yesterday afternoon and
last night in Polly Primrose" the COM
edy drama in which she was so popular
last year. Perhaps Miss Thurston has
made a mistake in trying a second tour
with a production that was not very
strong to begin with for the audience
last night was decidedly lacking In the
enthusiasm which characterized 1t last
year. Still. the public will have to re-
member that new plays of merit are
exceedingly scarce at present and there
will be many more plays that we have
already seen in Birmingham before the
winter is ended.
Last night Miss Thurston was as win
some and clever as of yore. Practice has
improved her in the part of Polly Prim-
rose" and no fault could be found with
her graceful comedy. Miss Thurston is a
talented and graceful commedene who is
great favorlte In the south and her
old friends are disposed TO overlook the
fact that she nd not come to us In a
newer and stronger role this year, and
also the fact that she is supported by a
company of but average merit. Her lead
ing man, John Terriss, was effective and
convincing but the remaining members
of the company did not display conspic-
uous talent.
Miss Thurston shold look about her for
another play like Sweet Clover" al
though 1t cannot be denied that she
makes the best of her part in Polly
Primrose"

Washington, October Although
the officials of the department OF JUS
tice decline to give an opinion on the
subject for publication, it is under
stood that it IS their belief that as the
vacancy in the office of postmaster
general has occurred during the re-
cess of congress, the President is au-
tnorized to designate an acting post
master general to serve until former
Secretary Cortelyou is ready to assume
his new duties as postmaster general
