REPUBLICANS WILL
PUT OUT CANDIDATE
RUMORED THAT THEY WILL HAVE
STRONG TICKET IN THE FIELD
FOR THE euBERNAToRlAL
RACE.

Montgomery, August 30.-(Special.)-It
is given out here today that the democrats
will not have the gubernatorial race all
to themselves next year, the assertion
being made by men who know of what
they speak that the republicans will have
a strong ticket in the field. The names
of those who will be put up for the sacri-
flee have not been made public. but 1t
seems that there is no doubt that there
will be some of the strongest of the party
presented to the voters.
1t is argued that the issue In Alabama
will be that of railroad rates and control
and that President Roosevelt and the
republican party are leading In a fight
for this same thing. 1t is also argued
that the time has come In Alabama when
the state should have two good strong
parties, one to keep watch on the other.
There is nothing new in the postmas-
tershp situation and will likely not be
for several days, as Postmaster General
Cortelyou is at his summer home and
VIII not be back at the capitol for two
weeks. 1t seems that there will be a
big fight for the marshalship of the Mid
die district and that Capt. L. ]. Bryan
will have hard time to get back into tho
berth

State is After Young Man
Charged With Assault
is A SENSATIONAL CASE
Accused Is Member of One of the Most
Prominent Families In Alabama.
Cotton Crop Badly
Damaged.
BY HERvEY. w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, August S0.-(Special. 1.-The
governor this morning entered into the
fight, or put the state into 1t, for the
arrest and punishment of Leslie Rabb,
the young white man of Evergreen, who
is charged with BRUTAL assault upon Miss
May c. Barrow, young lady OF that
town last Sunday week. He offered a
reward of s200 for the delivery of the
fugitive, which, with as much by the citi-
zens of Conecuh county, will make the
price on the head of the young man quite
heavy.
Among the papers presented to the
governor in this case is the charge and
warrant, alleging assault by Leslie Rabb
upon the person of May c. Barrow, and
the authority of any officer of the law
to make the arrest. After giving the whole
matter careful consideration, the COVER
nor offers practically the limit he is al
lowed in such cases. There Is a deter
mined effort being made to secure the
yosng man, who belongs to one of the
best families in the whole state. 1t is not
known which way he went after leaving
there. but there is a report that the Off
GERS will be able to locate him before
very long.
While there seems to be much indig-
nation in Conecuh county over the alleged
crime 1t is regarded that the danger of
lynching is small. The inclination seems
tc be to let the law take its course but
to give the law every aid possible The
girl is the daughter of a widow who
lives in the country several miles from
Evergreen and has been at work in the
town. She is said to have many friends
and to have always conducted herself in
way to win esteem. Her injury has
drawn to her many sympathetic friends
who are doing everything possible to al
leviate her suffering.

tauga county and put in jail. He is
charged with an attempt to kill his wife
and later her father He did not sue
coed in either attempt, though his wife
Ia said to have been very much abused.
He was tied with a rope to secure him
from escape

toned to abuse his wife, 1t is charged,
and she, having become tired of 1t. ran
away and went to the home Of her father,
L. Phillips, nearby Jones followed her
there and was met at the door by his
father-in-law. No sooner had he caught
sight of the woman than he whipped out
a revolver and shot at her. The father
knocked UP the gun and the ball buried
itself In the ceiling
At once there was a struggle. Phillips
and the women in the house grabbed the
fighting man. and after hard work pinned
him to the floor. He continued to fight
as long as he could, vowing to kill every
body who stood in his way. Finally the
negroes got him under control and he was

correspondence. Both his assistants are
away and he found a pile of letters to
dispose of on his return Colonel Poole
says that he is quite sure that in West
Alabama the cotton crop Is off at least
third from last year and he believes
It will be as much short in the whole

to crop as has come to that of this
year from the wet weather and the
lack of labor.
Colonel Poole is very enthusiastic over
the work of the Southern Cotton Growers
association, and says that the organiza-
ton Is doing fine work for the farmers
of the south. He is fully in accord with
