without even a request for his res ignation. In the latter event no disgrace would attach to his failure to secure a re-appointment.
 But this was not for MT. Stod- dard. He resigned some time ago, he says, but the resignation was held up pending an investigation of criminal charges by the depart ment of justice, which though slow, like the acceptance of the resigna- tion, will undoubtedly be heard from later.
 Mir. Stoddard stands convicted by the administration and by the people of the charges filed against him nearly a year ago. His friends admit that he was "indiscreet" but these friends were evidently in the habit of winking at the violation of the laws of the territory and the nation by men in high places. These little "indiscretions" con sisted of: Making false report to the governor of the territory, burn ing the fee books, the property of the territory, and attempting to corrupt legislature in order that his pockets might continue to be filled at the expense of the terri tory.
 MT. Stoddard in his report to the governor of the money received by him during the eighteen months of his term, made the following statement:
 From 61 insurance
 companies. ... ....$ 1,067 50
 For 36 water locations 90 co
 For 66 declarations,
 railroads. ..... .... e6o %
 For 1,27S affidavits of
 publications at $s.. s,sa4 %
 For 97 official oaths
 and bonds. 242 co
 For 1000 certified cop
 ies 5000 %
 For 1900 certificates of
 incorporation at $3 4,500 co
 Total l....:....$ .$15, ,OOO %
 That this was a false statement was the opinion of every one at the time, but it is only necessary to turn to the receipts in the office of tie auditor, where articles of in corporation are now fled MT. Stoddard's statement covered eight cen months, while the territory has received from incorporation fees, alone, in less than twelve months, something in the neighborhood of $35,OOO.
 As to the burning of the fee books, MT. Stoddard admits this charge, merely claiming that they were his property and no one else had a right to investigate. There were other charges, but these are the ones which the secretary of the in- terior designated as criminal acts and which were referred to the at torney general for investigation. The first result was not announced, but Mr. Stoddard probably knows the effect.
 The secretary until April brought these things on himself Had he not shown a disposition to defy the will of the people, and deter imitation to grow corpulent tinan- cially, at the expense of the terri tory, and had he not defied the law, because he was an official, his "res- ignation" would not have been called for, and his removal would not have taken place until the ex- piration of his term.
 The removal of Mir. Stoddard should be warning to all officials who would be dishonest and who would bCtray the trust of the peo- pie. The present administration, headed by Theodore Roosevelt, is of and for and by the people, Off, cial corruption and dishonest off, cials will not be tolerated.

The Talla- dega Lodge Is five years old. and only one member has died. Worthy of note is the fact that the deceased member, Gary Humphries. who was also the youngest member at the time he was taken in the lodge, was initiated at the same time the venerable chaplain, Dr. w. c.

 Various estimates fixes the amount of unsold cotton in the county at from 45 to 50 per cent. None of the larger farmers have sold. The situation has not created the depression naturally ex- pected, as the farmers are filled with the hope of repetition of the sky rocket prices of the latter part of last season. Fully half of the cotton mar keted in the city of Talladega is still unsold.

 Captain Bridges was a native of Athens. Tennessee. but had been resi- dent of this city since 1863. At that time he was connected with the general office of the Alabama Central Railroad, and later was promoted to superinten- dent. In 1880, when the old Selma Rome and Dolton Railroad and the Alabama Central and the East Tennes- see and Georgia and the Tennessee and Virginia Railroads were merged into inc East Tennessee Virginia and Geor- gia Railroad, Captain Bridges was made superintendent of the Alabama division extending from Cleveland, Tenn. to Lauderdale. Miss.
 This position he held most com petently and satisfactory until the for nation of the Southern railroad out of the Riehmond and Danville and East Tennessee Virginia and Georgia Rail- roads. in 1894 when he was given the position of freight agent of the South ern. at this point. This position he was still holding at the time of his death.
 Captain Bridges was in his seventieth wear, and leaves two daughters and three sons.
 He was one of the best known. and best beloved railroad men of the South. He was in every sense, a gen. tleman of the old school. and this genial and loveable man will be soreiy missed. He had, perhaps, more, warm personaI friends than any man in the city. His life was one given to duty. and his family and his fellows. Ills monument will be the living love of others left behind. His death brings personal bereavement to the whole city.

Atwood was foreman of a extra con struction gang of laborers for the Southern railroad and about year ago he discharged Bob Harold, and the negro shot him to death.
 The Governor offered $150 reward Tor the capture of Harold and this was supplemented by a 5000 reward by E. B. Atwood a brother of the deceased.

 RHODES SCHOLARS
 Montromerians will be interested" in the following, as one of the Rhodes scholars is Montgomery boy. or whom they have a right to be proud MT. James Kirkpatrick. son or MT an" Mrs. J. s. Kirkpatrick
 A London special says: "Ambassador Choate has been inter estins himself a good deal in the TOT ty-three American Rhodes scnoiars or Oxford. and has questioned them in re- ~ard to the debated question of the ~owns which they are to wear at the University.
 .sEyery college at Oxford and Cam bridge has a distinctive gown, and some of them are so much alike that no outsider could possibly discern any difference between them. The Ameri- can scholars at some of the colleges wear distinctive honors' gowns, cut very long, with a hood attachment. Other colleges decline to make any dis tinction at all and insist upon the Rhodes scholars wearing the ordinary college gowns. MT. Choate, of course. cannot dictate to the college authori- ties, but he holds the opinion that all the Rhodes scholars should wear the distinctive honors gown, irrespective of their colleges, and most of the schol- ars themselves agree with the Ann bassador.
 About forty of the Rhodes scholars went to MT. Henry Whites place in IBuckinghamshire the other day and had a very gay time. He treated them to a special train from Oxford to Loud water. and then drove them into his beautiful estate, where the met the Ambassador and other London friends. One of the features of the day was visit to the burial place of William Penn, which various American authori- ties have so often sought to have trans ferred to Pennsylvania, the American State which takes his name. They all stood round the grave for long time while Mir. White told them all about 1t, and described the neighboring homes of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin"
