BY vote of six to two the city
council at its regular weekly meeting
held Monday night last passed res
olution accepting proposition from
Warren Brothers Company of Boston
and New York offering to put in a
curbing on Northern and Evans ave-
nues in Paving District No l at the
rate Of one cent per lineal foot, the
company agreeing to give $1,000
bond in surety company for the
faithful performance of the contract.
Aldermen Curtis, Colvin, Holloran,
Fitzpatrick, Flynn and Sweeney voted
in the affirmative. while Aldermen
Johnson and Walker voted negatively.
Alderman johnson made stubborn
fight against the measure and was
seconded by Alderman Walker,
The contention of Alderman John
son was that the paving company
should give bond and sign contract
before the council would accept the
proposition, and also questioned the
authority Of L, M, Pfeiffer as agent
TO make any such proposition for the
company, he not knowing if Mr.,
Pfeiffer is really the accredited agent,
although Mr.. Pfeiffer has been work.
ing on this matter at considerable
expense for a year past, getting up
abstracts of properties, hiring sttor-
neys, paying court costs, his own ex-
pense and the like.
The council, with the exception Of
Walker, refused to take this view Of
the matter.
Alderman Colvin declared that the
Warren Bros. Co. had done all that
any set of men could be asked in rea-
son to do and had showed good faith
in the premises, Alderman Sweeney
talked along in the same vein and
again repeated his usual declaration
that the Bessemer people are entitled
to this improvement and should get
it.
An amusing episide Of the meeting
was when President o. 7 Curtis de-
livered an impromptu lecture to Alder
man Walker for not supporting the
proposition. After the vote was taken
Walker said he would change his vote
to the majority side if Agent Pfeiffer
would guarantee that his COMPANY
would have suitable bond and con-
tract before the council one week
from that evening.
"We don't need your vote; we can
get along without it; we have six
votes now You promised on several
occasions in this council that If The
paving company would make this
kind of proposition you would g. and
by it, and now why don't you do as
you agreed? Mr.. Clerk. we don't
need to change bis vote" Thus spoke
President Curtis as he frowned dowr
from hls elevated position on the al
derman from the Fourth ward
The lecture caused smile to play
over the faces Of the other city oficiali
present, the newspaper reporters snd
those in the audience. but Charlie
didn't wilt peroeptibly; in fact h,
rather seemed ia. have expected it.
The Fourth ward statesman say
now that be Is done with bis 6gh

BURGLAR RIFLES THEIR POCKETS
Room of Two Men at Brundidge En- tered by a Thief.

Brundidge, Sept. 17.-(Special.)-A bold burglar made a raid on the Pier son House, in this city. last Wednes- day night. He entered at the same door the same room raided by one some three or four years ago.
 The room was occupied by J. D. Tfammell, q prominent railroad off, cial of Fort Worth, Tex, and J. W. Turnipseed, a merchant of this city. They had taken the precaution to place their watches and other valuables un- der their pillows and Mir. Trammell had also placed there a considerable roll of bills. None of these was dis turbed. Neither of the men awoke and the burglar, 1t seems. satisfied himself with going through their clothes and getting a small amount of change. In one of Mir. Trammelfs pockets was d pocketbook containing passes over various railroads and steamship lines. This the marauder hidden under a table cover In the hallway, where 1t was subsequently, found. He also failed to get a val uable stick pin which was on the dresser in the sleeping room. There Is no clue to the perpetrator.
 Mrs. Mary Trammell. an aged and prominent resident of Loachapoka, Is the guest of her daughter, w. R. Peirson. She is accompanied by her daughter. Miss Van Trammen-
 The Brundidge high school with Prof. B. H. Boyd. A. M. at the head. and full corps of teachers. opened last Monday with a large attendance of pupils. The outlook is splendid for the most prosperous school year that Brundidge has ever had.
 Cotton Is coming in steadily. To- day there Is some dissatisfaction be- cause of a breakdown at the ginnery. Parts of the engine, damaged. will have to come from Indianapolis before repairs can be made. There are only few country gins In reach and they cannot fill the demand on them until the city ginnery is again in order.
 Brundidge is confdently counting on handling l2.oO0 bales this season. ac- tual. bona fide wagon receipts.
 It will not be long now before Brun- didge will have two banks. The building of the First National Bank will soon be completed and that insti- tution will open for business.

Young Negroes Charged With Having
 Entered Residences.

Columbus. Ga, Sept. 17.-(Special) Two negro boys, Wilbur Hortman. aged 13. and Charles Williams, aged 10. were placed under arrest by the police today charged with being members of the gang of boy burglars who have piled their avocation very industrious ly in this city during the week. work ing only the better class of residences. They selected only those residences where the families were away, leaving no one to guard the premises.
 At the residence of George S. Ham burger on Third Avenue, they affected entrance by breaking a window open with a rock. They stole from this house two savings banks containing several dollars. They also broke into the residence of Harry Williams on Second Avenue and stole a bank con taining a number of dollars. An ef- fort was made to enter the homo of R. A. Carson on the same avenue but the boys could not get through a window.
 At the residence of w. c. Bradley on Third Avenue. where the family was also away the boys broke a stick from pear tree, thrust it through a lattice door. knocked the key out of the door. managed to push the key under the door with stick and then unlocked the door from the outside and in this way gaining admission to the house. Curious enough to state the only art1- Gle they stole from this residence was a metal bank containing a small sum Ihe boy burglars coollY stepped across the street and seating themselves in the shade broke open the bank with a rock
 All these burglaries were committed In broad daylight. The police worked up the case promptly and have recov- cred the banks and have two members of the gang in jail.

Asks Governor For disappointment As
 Sheriff.


 w. n. Mayo, former Sheriff of Clay County. is an applicant before Governor Cunningham for reappointment to the office which he lost when the Probate Judge of Clay County certified to the Governor that a vacancy existed by reason of the fact that MT. Mayo had failed to file his bond for the extended term.
 w. A. Steed and J. B. Miller. well known citizens of Clay County are also applicants for the place. Mir. Steed was candidate in the primary in which Sheriff Mayo was nominated, Mir. Mil lc" Is q young man favorably known. but who has not been especially promi- ncnt in political affairs In Clay Coun- ty.
 Governor Cunningham will probably fill the vacancy some time during the week.
 Mr Mayo was the first county officer to lose his place by failure to file his bond for the extended term. His ad- mlnistration of the office of Sheriff had been unsatisfactory to a large faction Of the citizens of Clay County. An FX- aminer of Public Accounts. after in vestiRating his hooks. reported to the Governor that he was short in both his accounts with the county and with the state.

COTTON RECEIPTS HEAVY.
Columbus Has Been Market Town for
 5000 Bales Since Sent. 1.

Columbus, Ga, Sept. 17.-(Special. -Columbus warehouses have received since September 1, 5000 bales of cotton aoout half of which came by wagon. The daily receipts are now between 800 and 1000 bales. Several river steamers en route to Columbus have about 1000 bales on board, consigned to the local warehouses;
 The cotton is being shipped from Co., lumbus almost as rapidly as received as Is evidenced by the fact that the stock is only 2.4S4 bales. Of the cot ton sold in the local markets so far but little has gone to Columbus facto- ries. the bulk of 1t being taken by ex- porters. Later In the season the Co., lumbus mills will buy heavily. how ever.
 The warm dry weather of the past two or three weeks has caused cotton to open very rapidly in this section of Georgia and Alabama and the predic- ton Is freely made that if enough la Dor can be secured to pick the crop the bulk of 1t will be gathered by October l. The crop Is being gathered rapidly and is being marketed almost as rap idly as gathered.
 Weather conditions of the past month have cut off the crop consider able in this sectionS |

DR. STAKELY CALLED
RECEIVES FLATTERING INVITA- TION FROM CHICAGO CHURCH.
Pastor of First Baptist Church Has
 the Call Under Consideration. Third Time the Call ss is Extended.

v Rev. Charles A. Stakely, D. D.. pas for of the First Baptist Church or Montgomery, has under consideration 4he call from the congregation of one Of the most prominent churches of that denomination in Chicago.
 ' Dr. Stakely has not decided whether or not he will accept the call He will not decide immediately. At pres ent he is engrossed in the work inau- gurated over three years ago of erect ing, the new house of worship or the congregation on the corner of Perry and Alabama Streets.
 When seen at his home last night and questioned as to the call. Dr. Stakely said that the call was one of long standing which had been recently renewed. In fact, he Gas on three sep arate occasions been called to the pull pit of this church. His friends con slider the offer very f1attering one, considering the prominence of the church and the evident determination of its congregation to have Dr. Stakely occupy its pulpit.
 Dr. Stakely said that for obvious reasons he would not divulge the name of the church, until he had reached d decision in reference to the call.
 The second time he had received the call, he had informed the congregation that he could not accept on account of his work in Montgomery in erecting the new church building had not been completed. The congregation had sig hifled its willingness to wait until this work was completed, but Dr. Stakely had told them to call some one else. This they did. but the minister who was called, few days ago decided that he did not wish to undertake the work in Chicago and the call for the Montgom- cry pastor was renewed.
 Dr. Stakely has been in Montgomery nearly four years and is extremely popular with both his congregation and the citizens of Montgomery al large.

 Todd. it will be recalled, was arraign- ed before Justice ChappeH in Union Springs Friday charged with selling the questions of the State Board of Exam iners to prospective applicants. He escaped conviction through a technical ity. He admitted that he had unau- thorized possession of the answers to the questions and that he had sold them to applicants. On this admission Su- pcrintendent Hill revoked his certifi- cate.
 The law gives the State Superintend- ent authority to revoke the license of a teacher in the public school for im- moral conduct. The evidence in the hearing of Todd which the Superintend- ent attended convinced him that Todd was not the proper person to teach a public school

We wish to publicly thank the Fire of Montgomery for their prompt response and service in the fire which occurred at 1o9 Commerce Street on Friday night last. With Babcocks the blaze was extinguished in three minutes after being discovered. Had this blaze continued few more min utes, a serious fire would have resulted. As 1t was we lost practically no stock and business was not delayed.
