YOUNG MEN QUIT CITY
MESSRS. CROSLAND AND WASH
 BURN HAVE RESIGNED.
Private Secretary of Mayor Carr Will Locate in Columbus, Ga.-As- sistant Engineer Becomes
 County Surveyor.

Two popular young city officials will leave the employ of the Montgomery city government on the beginning of the new year.
 One is David W. Crossland, Private Secretary to Mayor Thomas H. Carr, and the other is Stuart F. Washburn, assistant City Engineer.
 Both of these young men have excel lent records In the employ of the city and both have resigned to take up new fields of labor.
 Mir. Crosland will go to Columbus, Ga. on January 1st to begin business for himself. He will open a cigar, to- bacco and news store in the Georgia city, where he has secured an excellent location.
 The news of MT. Crosland's resigna- tion from the office of private secretary to the Mayor, will be received with sur prise by his many friends in Montgom- cry. He has notified Mayor Carr that his resignation is to take effect Jam uary 1st.
 It was known that MT. Washburn was to resign his position in the office of the city engineer for he had so au- nounced his intention after receiving the appointment Monday of County Engineer, which office was given him by the Board of Revenue at its last meeting. The appointment of MT. Washburn was made to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of former County Engineer Mason.
 The friends of MT Washburn consid- CT his appointment to County Engineer a high but just compliment to his en- ergy and ability.
 Mayor Carr has not made appoint ments to fill either of the vacancies in the city government made by the leav- ing of these young men. and will not do so until he returns from French Lick Springs, Indiana, where he is now spending week in rest and recupera- ton.
 Mir. Crosland is one of the most pop ular young men in Montgomery and his removal to Columbus will be regretted by his Montgomery friends. He has for the past twelve years made his home in Montgomery and has been during that time prominent in the busi- ness and social life of the city. He was for several years connected with Montgomery business firms, and was appointed in 1899 to clerk of the City Engineer by Mayor Joseph. This posi- tion he held for four years. resigning 1t to accept the place which he now holds in the Mayors office.
 He was appointed by Colonel Henry B. Foster when commander of the End regiment. A. N. G., to be sergeant-ma- jor of the regiment, and held this of- flee during the terms of Colonel Fos- ter, Acting Colonel A. A. Wiley. and Colonel Graves. He is now quarter master sergeant of the 1st cavalry squadron, A. N. G., but will shortly re- sign this office.
 Mir Crosland was formerly a member of the Greys and was in camp with that company at Miami, Fla. during the Spanish American war in 1898.
 He Is a popular member of the Mont gomery Lodge of Elks and is held in high esteem by his fraternal brethren.

MIR. MUapHY,s ADDRESS.
Able Discussion 0f the Fourteenth
 Amendment.

AmCu0mSHts
 Last night at the Carnegie Library assembly room about 100 gentlemen met in response to an invitation that had been sent to them to hear a paper read by Mir. Edgar Murphy
 Judge J. B. Gaston stated that few evenings ago Mir. Murphy read before a club of which he Is a member at Q private house in this city a paper on the question: Shall the Fourteenth Amendment be Enforced" All who heard 1t were so profoundly impressed by the ability and the spirit of patriot ism which marked it, that they urged MT. Murphy to allow them to secure a larger room in order that a larger au- dienee might have the benefit and the pleasure of listening to his masterly discussion of the subject.
 MT. Murphy consented" concluded Judge Gaston. ''and the invitations were Issued and we are here tonight for the purpose indicated in the invita- tiens."
 With this introduction Mir. Murphy entered upon the discussion.
 It is a matter of regret that MT. Murphy's engagement with one of the great magazines prevents the publica- tiof in full in The Advertiser of a paper which is pronounced by all who heard it to be a masterpiece.
 He goes over the whole ground and presents his views in such way as to carry conviction to the doubters. It is not In the spirit of a partisan, but of patriot that he sets forth the reason why the Fourteenth Amend ment should not be enforced. His argument is pitched upon the broadest lines and when printed Is bound to attract attention in all sections of the Union.
