GOSSIP OF ALABAMIANS
 HEARD AT THE CAPITAL
BY HERvE Y W. LAIRD.

z oNTGOMERY, June 2.-(special) MI The efforts of the better people of the state to give more secur- ity to life and limb through the channel of better observance of the laws. are beginning to bear fruit in most all sec tions of the state. Judges are urging 1uries to pay especial attention to crimes of the more henious sort, and sentiment is being built up that promises not only to make the practice of lynching unpop- ular. but the commission of those of lenses that result in lynching less fre- quent.
 At the opening of the circuit court of Henry county at Abbeville Monday Su- pernumerary Judge A. H. Alston, who is bv the way one of the most ardent sup porters of the movement for better pro- lection against crime, was very vigorous in his charge. He called attention to the alarming frequency of homieides and urged the grand jury to get every bit of evidence possible to convict the men who are guilty of such crimes. He also took occasion to discuss the general condi- tions of the county's society and gave the jurymen some good advice as to how that portion of it that brought dis grace upon the good name of. it's people might be made to suffer for such acts. For the good people, largely predominant ing, the judge had many words of cheer and encouragement.

Auburn Commencement.

The commencement exercises of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn will open the last of the week. with the social functions of the two fraternities on Saturday morning, afternoon and even ing. On Sunday the sermon will be preached by the Rev. Carter Helm Jones of the Broadway Baptist church, Louis vile, Ky. The trustees will meet on Monday, acting Governor Cunningham and General R. F. Lgon being among the Montgomery members. Tuesday will be, as it always is, alumni day. and the banquet of the occasion will be at noon. Special addresses will be delivered in the evening. Reports from the school are better than even it's best friends hoped for.
 Professor Thach is making an ideal pres ident and has been very successful all the year. More work in the way of agricul- tural experimenting is being done now than ever before. The enlargement of this work at the district agricultural schools has also been the cause of more general distribution of literature on plant life than ever before. Alabama is taking renewed interest In Auburn and what was known In the old day and loved as much, the Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Decoration day exercises Tuesday, pr. c. W. Buckley of this city said: Memorial day fig no longer a day of mourning. The anguish of those early sorrowrul years have passed. We have been permitted to live to see the fruit of victory lose all bitterness. We now see the union cement ed by the blood of those who fought bravely on both sides for what each be- lieved to be right. During the passing years a new history has been written, a new literature created which speaks ten der sympathy each for the other. It Is not the union dead alone we think of on this memorial day and occasion. In the words of our eomrade. William Mckinley, The time has come, in the evolution of sentiment, when the government should care for the graves of the Confederate dead This day Is no longer typical of an tagonism and division. It now wears a new significance in it's commemoration of the love of a great people for country no longer disseve cred, but now and hence forth united in feeling no less than in fact, forever one and indivisible.

Athletic Mayors Fall.

Mir R. E. l.. Cope, mayor of Union Springs, and citizen of Bullock county, Is still suffering from the effects of fall he received a few days ago while trying to jump over his back gate. Feeling the recrudence of his younger days and the desire to again test his ability to rise high In the world, even as he had done in his ambition to serve his fellow citizens in the office he so well administers, MT. Cope looked upon the back gate at his residence with dsdain.
 He backed off and took a running start but the gate ''butted in' and swung open, moving just as the mayor rose from the ground He landed upon the top of the pickets and tumbled over. A broken arm and some other bruises were the result. not to mention the wear and tear upon his well known good nature and the strain that must have been incurred by his religion. He Is resting easily just now however. and has energy and strength enough to see that the affairs of the town are fully protected

Black Enthusiastic.

Of the delegates to the national con- vention to represent the democracy or Alabama, none are more enthusiastic than MT. w. c. Black of Troy one of the men from the Second, or Montgomeryl district. One day this week an eastern paper wired MT. Black to give an expression Of ms choice for the nomination by the demo- crats for President. He answered back promptly and as follows: Il favor the nomination of that prominent Jurist' Judge Alton B. Parker. Set that up III type and let it stand until he Is noinl- nated' Mr. Black believes, with Col .E. L. Russell of Mobile, one of the delegates at large, that no man Is so well fitted 10 lead the party to victory this year as Parker
 United States Senator Morgan is favor ably impressed with Parker, and pe- lieves he would make an ideal canoloate if nominated. The same may be said or Hon. H. s. D. Mallory of Selma, Hr' Rufus N. Rhodes of Birmingham and Con gressman William Richardson of Hunts vile, all of whom are Alabama delegates at large to the convention at St. Louis

Renort on EtoWah.

Tn the reports of State Examiner Will xinson on the books of the officials of Etowah county, the question of exempt ing certain cotton mill properties from taxation has again been emphasized It will be remembered that the legislature nassed a law exempting from taxes for ten years cotton mills located in the state stipuating simply the mills. Moth ing was said about the employees houses and other property not strictly neces- sary to the running of the factory. The mill men contended that the houses of employees, owned by the mill companies and rented to the employees. should be in- cluded and that the law intended to do SO Tax collectors have seen differently however, and the matter has been taken to the courts.
 In Etowah the tax assessor included in his estimate the houses of the Dwight Manufacturing Company at Albany city, hut the commissioners eliminated them. holding that they were not subject to taxation under the exempt act. Exam lner Wilkinson calls attention to this action and has charged the commissions CTS up with the items until such time as l a decision can be reached on the cases

and officers necessary to protect and keep the convicts It follows, therefore, that more than half the convicts are un- der the immediate care of the convict de partment of the state. As a general prop osition the greed of contractors leasing convicts for money may be such that they are liable to lose sight of the inter- ests of all persons except their own. Hence, the lease system Is regarded by the present managemnt as without merit at all.
 "In view of the fact that 20 per cent. and possibly more, of the convicts fin Ala bama are negroes. with no other or far ther skill than that of common laborer, 1t Is the opinion of the present manage ment that they should be employed eith- CT In mining, under the care of the state, or agricultural operations and saw mil- ing. under the care of the state, and per haps It would be better that they should all be employed upon farms.

Coming Young Man.

Attending upon the sessions of the su- preme court this week was MT. William Proncey Acker, one of the most prominent young lawyers of the state. He was raised in Cherokee county, but has prac- ticed since his majority in Anniston' where he is now, a member of the Ia" firm of Knox, Blackman X Acker, the head of which Is Hon. John B. Knox, president of the recent constitutional con vention, and a very likely possibility Tor United States senator in case there IS a vacancy soon. The firm handles the bus mess of the Southern Railway in that sec tion of the country and Mir. Acker was here to look after some of that class of litigation. Before his death some years ago, the Hon. Benjamin F. Cassady, in his life time judge of the Anniston city court, said that he regarded MT. Acker as one of the foremost young legal lights in the state.

Butler county's Court House.

Butler county's new court house at Greenville will soon be in shape to turn over to the people and 1t will be one of the prettest in the country. It will cost complete $38,OO0 which is quite a neat sum when 1t is remembered. that 1t was erect ed in country community where labor is cheap and living at the lowest possible cost. B. B. Smith of Montgomery is the architect. The past few years has shown great progress in Butler county and es- pecially at Greepville, the enterprising county seat
 A number of new houses have been erected and some of the local manu- facturers have enlarged plants and are doing more work. The two papers, the Advocate, edited by that well beloved Alabamian, Colonel Stanley, and the Liv- ing Truth, born of the populist movement and living to enrich It's day and genera ton, are aggressively pushing the town and county to high and effective develop ment,

Girls Were Present.

A pretty little incident occurred in the chamber of supreme court this morning in the admission to the bar and the prae- tice of law in Alabama of W. A. Blount of Pensacola, Fla, John D. Mcqueen or Eutaw, Ala, and c. Fred Winkler or Greenville, Ala.
 The young gentlemen came in this morning and as compliment to each ne was accompanied by one of his young lady friends. As they marched into the court room they were "convoyed" by the young ladies, and the incident made a great deal of pleasant talk around the capital, the result of the pretty courtesy shown the young barrfesters by thelr friend.
 While here the party was shown around by Judge Terry Richardson.

Burnett for Parker.

Congressman John l.. Burnett was here this week looking after some business be- fore the supreme court and talking poi- tics, which is second nature with him. He had a couple of young ladies with him and showed them over the state house, while introducing them around among the officials. MT. Burnett lives in Ictowah and represents the Seventh dis trict In congress. He was given a run for his money, so to speak, in the April primaries by MT. Lusk of Marshall, but was endorsed by goodly majority. He is the shortest man In congress, 1t Is said. being only little over five feet tall. He began life as a laborer and has grown very rapidly in the estimation of his neighbors. never having lived outside the district he now serves.

Reward Offered.

The governor has offered reward of s2O0 for the arrest and delivery to the sheriff of Mobile county, the man who killed James Hughes in that county few days ago. Something like a year ago MT. Hughes shot and killed negro and was declared justifabe in the act by the courts. It is now thought that he was murdered by some friend of the dead negro or of his family, and the officers are doing everything possible to bring about his conviction.
 A reward of $25 has also been offered for the arrest and delivery to the sheriff os Cleburne county of w. I. Keigler, who is wanted on a charge of attempt to mur- der 1t being said that he and another man shot at man in buggy and then got away.
