OUR SUGGESTION ADOPTED

Our municipal authorities have or
dered an election for the 23rd of next
month (October) to vote 1926, 600 for a
water and light system in Lawrence
burg. 1t may be that this entire sum
will not be needed to put in the plant,
but it was thought best to make the
amount This size. This will be the
most important election in the history
of the town, and every man desiring
the success and upbuilding of this COM
munity should interest himself in be-
half of the proposition. 1t takes money
to get these things, and the Union pre-.
fers that the town put them in instead
of turning the matter over to private
company.-Union.
The Union is eminently correct,
in it's preference, and this paper
has contended for this very thing,
ever since the writer became con-
nected with it, two years ago We
confess that the above announce
ment came to US as a surprise, an
exceedingly pleasant one withal.
Indeed so pleased are we with the
news that we gladly credit our
nelghbor up the street upon che
way they have SCOPE us, in being
the first to give out the welcome
information. This paper has la
bored in season and out of season
to create a sentiment in favor o
municipal ownership and the i'm.
mediate installment Of this plant.
Last winter when franchise was
granted the private company, i
was this paper that urged the Sc
curing of an enabling act from thu
Legislature, and it was granted us
1t was this paper that called atten
ton to the fact, two weeks ago
that something ought to be done
that the private project had lallel
through, and awoke the interest o
the people and authorities to thu
peculiar propriety and crying need
for action at this time. Wit
good reason, therefore, we ar
elated at the promptness of tn
answer to our expressed desire
But the work is not finished. L
shall be our purpose to continue t.
press the advantage of a system c
water and light in our town, OWL
ed by the town, to the end tina
the election may be unanimous
We shall do everything in on
power to advance this cause, anC
make it a success. Although tn
authorities did not give the Demo
crat any intimation of their action
our pleasure is only the greater
because it was surprise. W
commend these excellent publ
servants for their very proper cor
ception of their duty, and thei
promptness to act. We are g!a
to say to them "Well done, goo
and faithful servants" The que'
rion is now up to the people. Lit
us, each and everyone, do on
duty, upon the 29rd day of Oct'
Der, and we honestly believe n
one of us will ever have cause
regret having aided this worth
and needed improvement,

DISCUSSES ETHICAL IDEAS"
President Branson Is Given Close Att
 tentlon at Summer School.


 University June 2S.-fSpecial)-Presi> dent E. C. Branson of the State Normal school at Athens Ga., closed his engage ment at the summer school with lecture this morning at 10:3O on "Ethical Ideals" Before going into his subject, he thanked the students for the cordial reception given him. and the close attention always paid hls talks.
 MT. Branson divided ideals into four classes: Animal ideals the law of which is the law of pleasures or pain; intellect nal ideals, whose law is that of curiosity: ethical ideals governed by the law of beauty; and spiritual ideals, whose law Is perfection. We are born animal bodies. he said. and we become spiritual through education and thought. In his analysis of human ideals, he succeeded in demon- strating the fact that children, and for that matter the majority of grown people, are governed wholly or in part by purely animal motives.
 It is with much regret that the sum rner school sees Mir. Branson close his enea cement for his talks, pregnant with valuable information and suggestions, have been eagerly listened to by all.
 Mr Harte secretary of the Mobile Y. M c A. reached the university this afternoon for a series of several lectures before the summer school. the first of which will be at 10:3O Thursday morning. MT Harte needs no introduction, for his great work in Mobile has made him well known throughout the entire state.

COUPLE HAS DESPERATE
 GRETNA GREEN AFFAIR
Young Man Takes Bride-to-Be From Arms of Screaming Mother and
 Flees to a Justice.

Gadsden, June 2s.-(Special)- )-There was a Gretna Green affair in East Gadsden last night that beats anything on the boards lately
 S. J. Afford, aged 22 and Miss Annie Webb, IT years old. had been lovers and decided to get married, but the pa- rents of the young lady objected very strenuously so the young lady was to come and join her husband-to-be at the sound of a pistol shot Promptly at 3 o'clock a single shot was fred and the young lady started for the door when her mother got hold of her, and a struggle en- sued in which the young lady called for help. MT, Afford responded and entering the house pulled the young lady away from her mother in no gentle manner. and sped for the buggy at the gate with the rate mother in full pursuit with double barreled shotgun, which she poked full in the face of her daughter and pulled both triggers. But there was no tragedy which was averted by the fact that the young lady had very thoughtfully removed the shalls earlier in the day.
 The young couple then drove fourteen miles to the home of Squire Roper in Cal houn county and were married about z o'clock in the morning, arriving back home about daylight this morning. Both the contracting parties are members of excellent families and have numerous friends.

NEVER IN DANGER OF BEING LYNCHED. Exaggerated Reports ot Daniels
 Case Sent Out SHERIFF WAS IN PURSUIT Murder of Mir. Wright Was Considered Atrocious, But the Murderer Would
 Have Been Given a
 Legal Trial.
SHERIFF WAS IN PURSUIT

Courtland, June 2S.-(Speeial) 1.-The
 statement going the rounds of the state
 press to the effect that Governor Jelks | is very uneasy about the rate of the ne l gro Frank Daniels who last Saturday
 shot and killed c. M. Wright, a merchant
 of Leighton. is causing amusement on the part of some of our citizens and indig-
 nation with others.
 | The murder of MT Wright was an atro-
 cious one, but it happened in a law-abid- ing. God-fearing community. and among people who have been accustomed to look to the law for redress of all crimes. The negro Daniels escaped, but had he been captured he would have been committed to jail and tried by a court under the laws of the state of Alabama. The par ties who were in pursuit of the negro were under the command of an officer of the law, and they were armed with legal authority to effect his capture. and the statement that the prisoner would be lynched as soon as caught Is an insult not only to those who were seeking his capture but to each and every citizen of this and the Leighton neghborhood.
 No effort looking to lynehing was ever made, and the sole and only purpose of those in the hunt was to capture the crim- inal that legal justice might be done. There was no mob of negroes organized at Courtland for the puspose of going to Leighton and liberatlng the elder Daniel negro, as stated in the dispatches from Decatur and Tuscumbia. Your corre- spondent is in position to know posi- lively, as he went to Leighton Saturday afternoon as soon as he heard of the trouble, and he can state positively that not q single Courtland negro went there after the shooting, nor was there any effort to go, or to organize a mob for that purpose. Captain Stephenson, the sheriff of Lawrence county, lives here, and he had the situation well in hand at all times At no time did he think it neces- sary to call to his aid the military forces of the state, nor did he at any time deem it necessary to call to his assistance an extra number of deputies. Had there beer any necessity for taking such strenuous methods as calling out the state troops, Governor Jelks would most certainly have heard II from the officers of Lawrence and Colbert counties, and not from news paper reports.

MARRIAGE KNOT TIED
 IN FUN TIED TIGHT
AshvlIe Couple Went Through We'd ding Ceremony for Joke, But
 Ceremony Was Legal.

Ashville, June S.-(SpeciaI)-Mr. Oscar Clark and Miss Ester Nunnally of Ash vile were married Sunday afternoon.
 Though married in fun they are now wondering in all seriousness how they are to become single again, since the marriage was legal in every respect, being performed by an ordained minister with marriage license filled out and prop erly signed.
 It seems the young people had been discussing matrimony in a rather disin- terested way until, it was suggested they have a mock marriage.
 MT. Clark asked the young lady if she would not embark with him on life's matrimonial sea. to which she consented, and together they went in search of the judge and having secured license they further proceeded to find the minis- ter and in the shadow of the church, they stood hand in hand, and without questions or ceremony they were pro- nouneed man and wife

SUPPOSED SUICIDE.

The report comes from De
Queen that former County Judge
Geo. A. Bell is supposed to have
committed suicide near his home
at Lockesburg a few days ago. He
left home few days ago to go out
to his farm near Lockesburg, and
as he failed to return, his son went
in search of him. In camp house
on the farm he found his fathers
coat, in which was letter adj
dressed to his wife. The letter
stated that he had decided to
drown himself in the Cossatot. A
search has been made for the body
without result. Judge Bell was a
very popular citizen and his
friends are at a loss to know why
he should have taken his life.

.13-YEAR-OLD GIRL
COMMITS SUICIDE.
Christina Rossi Found Hanging near
Center Ridge-No Apparent
Reason for the Act.

Reports from Center Ridge,
Conway county say that Christiana
Rossi, 13 years old, an Italian
girl, committed suicide near that
place by hanging herself. At the
inquest held by Justice Mason
none of the evidence revealed any
reason for the act.
After dinner the girl went to
an upstairs room and locked her
self in, saying she was going to
take nap. After the lapse of an
hour or more the girls little
brother peeped through crack In
the uoor and saw her hanging by
a rope. He ran crying to the eld-
er sister, Mary, and told her of
the discovery. An entrance was
effected Immediately to the room,
where, it was found, Christiana
had slipped her head in moose
made of rope hanging from raj
ter, and jumped from the bed.
The act had been committed but a
short time before, and the elder
sister tried hard to resuscitate the
girl by dashing water in her face,
but the efforts were in vain, as
life was extinct. The girls step
father and her mother were away
from home at the time.
1t is stated that this is the sec
ond instance of self-destruction by
children by hanging this month in
the northern part of Conway
county. A few weeks ago Cecil
Rhodes, a small boy, hanged him
self with a chain in the Lick
Mountain neighborhood, a few
miles from Center Ridge. There
was no apparent cause in either
case.
