CANDIDATES VISIT
THE CAPITAL CITY
LOWE AND KOLB MAKE ARRANGE
MENTS FOR THEIR CAMPAIGNS
FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF THE
ALABAMA r. r. COMMISSION.

Montgomery, February 5.-(Special)-
Locally politics had little warming up
today, caused by the appearance in Mont
gomery of the Hon. Robert j. Lowe of
Jefferson, and the Hon. Reuben f. Kolb
of Butler, rival candidates for the nomi-
nation for president OF the Alabama
railroad commission
Mr.. Lowe was in the city en- route to
Mobile where he will spend few days
in the interest of his campaign, and Cap
tain Kolb was here experimenting the
opening of his headquarters. He will
conduct his campaign from Montgomery,
and while he has not yet announced his
state manager, he said today that he
would nave an efficient man in control
here for him. Captain Kolb expressed
perfect confidence in his ability to win
the race.
Mr.. Lowe saw quite number of his
friends while here, and while he will
make his state headquarters in Birming-
ham, he made some arrangements here
today for the conduct of his campaign
in this county. Before leaving for Mo
bile tonight, he announced that former
mayor 4. ID. JoSpcH hdu SoHSShlcu "
manage the campaign for him in Mont
gomery county. and since there is a
strong following for the Jefferson can
ddate in this county, 1t is expected that
there will soon be an influential Lowe
club in this city. Mr.. Joseph Is a man
of large local influence, and personally
popular.
Montgomery county is to furnish the
grounds for a very interesting battle,
and each of the four leading candidates
will have a fair following in this county.

JENNINGS REFUSES
TO HONOR PAPERS
GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA WILL
HAVE A SUPPLEMENTARY RE-
PORT ON CASE OF L. c. HARD
ING, DEFAULTiNG BANKER.

Montgomery, February 5.--(Specal)-
Governor Jennings of Florida will have a.
supplementary report on the case of L.
C. Harding. the DeKalb county bank em-
bezzler. While the governor Of Alabama
has not yet been officially notified that
the governor of Florida has refused to
honor the requsition papers for Harding;
1t has been indicated by the Alabama
agent that such action was taken, and
presumably upon the ground that the in
dictment against Harding was not prop
erly drawn.
The indictment, however, is drawn in ac-
cordance with the statutes of Alabama,
and to make this point stronger with the
Florida executive, Governor jerks today
caused to be forwarded to Governor Jen-
nings an affidavit from Solicitor Hunt of
the Seventh circuit to the effect that the
Indictment is properly drawn, and that
Harding is the person who defaulted, or
rather embezzled the funds of the banks
at Fort Payne, Collinsville and Alfalfa.
1t is confidently believed that when these
additional facts are laid before Governor
Jennings he will no longer listen to the
pleadings of the Florida attorneys for
Harding, but that the prisoner will be
promptly turned over to Agent Sullivan
and returned to this state for trial.
Claims He Did Not Get Money.
Tallahassee, Fla. February 5.-Gover-
nor Jennings has refused to honor tho
requisition of the governor of Alabama
for the extradition of C. ID. Ray, alias
L. c. Harding.
1t is claimed and admitted that Ray
bore the name of Harding in Fort Payne.
Ala, where he was president of the Peo-
pies Bank and Trust company; that the
firm of zorn &c Co. OF Louisville, KY,
sent to the bank an account with bill OF
lading attached for grain bought by
company of which Harding was
MEMBER that the bill of lading was de-
tached and the grain delivered and never
paid for the bank having failed. Hard
| ing admits the Indebtedness and says he
was only technically responsible. He
| swore that he never received a cent OF the
money either directly or indirectly.

WANT MORE DELEGATES.
Walker County Democrats Are After
an Increased Representation.

Jasper. February g. especially THE
democrats of Walker county are of the
opinion that they are entitled to more
delegates to the state convention than
they have been allowed heretofore, and
an effort will be made to get an increased
representation in the convention to be
held in Montgomery Oh May %.
Since the last basis of representation
was fixed by the party authorities the
population Of Walker county has almost
doubled, and it has grown to be one of
the foremost counties in Alabama. The
poll tax books just closed show that the
citizens of Walker paid two thousand
six hundred and fifteen poll taxes for
the year 1903 which is the largest number
paid in any county in the State with the
exception of Jefferson.
1t is the purpose to elect ten delegates
and make an effort to seat them, 1t be-
ing believed that the county is justly
entitled to that number as the minimum.

White Man Hurt in the Storm Returns

Greensboro. February 5.-(special.)-
John Virgins, who was one of the injur-

boro for treatment, has gotten well
enough to return home. though he still
suffers from a wounded knee, and bruised
arms.
Several of the negroes have also re-

negro died Monday. He was buried here.
1t is interesting to note the eagerness

disaster. Before any calls for assistance
were made voluntary contributions came
in from all sides. No one did more or
rendered more efficient aid than Alfred
Tunstall 1t was he who had the special

aiding people to get there quickly with
clothing and medicine for the destitute
sufferers.

today Judge Jones decision gives the
county Judgment for s1O1.01z9O. which
amount, less the interest, was lost by the
county in the failure of the Josiah Morris
bank on January 8. 1901. The attorneys
for the Fidelity company give notice of
appeal to the court of appeals.
The case is one of the most interesting
that has been in the local courts for
years 1t has been twice before the court
of appeals at New Orleans and in both in
stances the decisions have been favorable
to the county.
Originally the county had 81 ,10958 In
the defunct bank. This money was what
is known as the road and bridge fund.
Before the failure the bank had paid the
county $6517.16. and since the failure two
payments of $13,O74.O5. This leaves $751;

total interest of s27221.7O recovered by the
county.

court and the judgment was reversed.

a Judgment for s67103.05. The amount
claimed by the county on that date was

by the bond company. and the judgment
was again reversed.

Washington. February 5.-(special.)-
Representative Richardson Of Alabama
says the sentiment In his state and among
nearly all the prominent democrats with
whom he has talked is overwhelmingly
against the reaffirmation of the 1896 and
1900 democratic platforms.
IF these platforms are affirmed said
Mr.. Richardson today, I'VE might as well
nominate Bryan again and throw up our
hands in despair. Sometimes l think Mr..
Bryan is again a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination. We have a good
chance to win this year. but not on an
absolutely dead issue. / am heartily tired
of having the party defeated months be-
fore the votes are cast.
Il believe there are several million
democrats in this country who feel the
same way about it and will refuse to
take such action at the st. Louis con-
vention as will insure the election of

President Roosevelt has asked for the
removal from the White House of another

quest that the society editor of a local
paper, a cultured and widely known wo-

paper work here for several years be no
longer detailed at the White House.
In all of these cases the reporters have
in no sense departed from their line of
duty but have reported facts without
