HUGH MORROW is URGED

Montgomery, May 26.-(Special.)-Gov.
William D. Jelks left this Afternoon for
Asheville, n. c., where he will remain
for ten days, resting and breathing the
high mountain air He will return at the
end of that time and later will probably
go to some OF the summer resorts OF the
North Alabama country, information
about which he is now seeking. He VIII
spend much of the summer at the place
he later chooses, coming to Montgomery
often enough to keep fully in touch with
everything that is going on. He will go
alone to Asheville, though Mrs. jerks
will likely accompany him to his North
Alabama stopping place.
1t is a source of great pleasure to the
many friends of the Governor that his
health is getting better all the time. He
is strong and hearty as a youngster these
days and takes live interest in every
thing from stad business of state to the
score and standing of the baseball team.
The fact is he would much rather stay
at his office with much of his time at
his Eufaula home but for the advice of
his New Mexico physician that he spend
this summer at least in the highest alti-
tude it is possible for him to get at con-
yeniently without going too far from
home.
Hugh Morrow Boom.
1t is generally understood around the
capitol that Hugh Morrow, the popu-
lar young Birmingham attorney stands
the best show of any man yet mentioned
for the vacancy on the board Of trustees
OF the state university. He is being
promoted in this city with great deal
OF earnestness and there is ever show
ing that mis- chances are good. Mr.. Nor
row has always been a hard worker for
the alma mater, and as he is progressive
young fellow, he will add much to the
strength of the institution in the hustlng
busting Birmingham district. 1t is known
that already several strong letters have
been sent out in the interest of Mr. Nor
row, and one of the most enthusiastic
of the local university men said today
that The is sure to be the winner
Boy Pardoned.
The governor has pardoned Hezekiah
Crosby, a negro boy of Conecuh county,
sent up in April, 1903. for seven years for

his was a mere boy when the crime

in by the influential citizens of the coun-
ty- The board of pardons recommend
olemency. Let parole issue, conditioned
upon his future good conduct"
