Montgomery, May 17-(Special Gov
ernor William d. Jelks this afternoon au-
thorized the commissioner of agriculture
to make an exhibit of the agricultural re-
sources of the state at the state fair to be
held at Birmingham, and the same ex-
hibit to be taken to Selma for the Cen
trail Alabama fair later on.
Several days ago committee from Bir=
mingham, headed by Eugene Flies, saw
the Governor and asked him to take the
matter under consideration. He was
urged that the importance of the enter
prise was such that the state would do
well to make a showing of its resources.
He was also told that $4,000 had been
raised by subscription among the citizens
of the city of Birmingham and that a
good show was to be provided.
Acting on this showing and believing
that the interests of the state were such
as to justify the expenditure the Gov
ernor ordered that an exhibit be pre-
pared not to exceed $4,000 in cost.
After it has done duty at Birmingham
it will be taken UP carefully under the
supervision of Commissioner Poole and
removed to Selma, and after that will be
disposed of in the usual way or retained
as at that time may be decided upon.
Colonel Tisdae Ill.
Col. w. H. Tisdale, one of the best
known men in the state, is suffering from

ing. 1t is hardly expected that he will
recover. He was in his bath room and
was heard to be breathing heavily. Mrs.
Tisdale forced the door and found him
in an unconscious condition. Colonel lis
dale was United States marshal under
President Cleveland during the latter
second term and man well known over
