MERCY OF GOVERNOR
NAMED NEGRO BOY CONVICT
 GETS A PAROLE.
He Is HaiIiard Taylor Sent Up For RObbing Home of Rev. Stewart McQueen-JOhnsons Pa-
 role Extended.

Hailtard Taylor, a negro boy con- vict. who was sent to the penitentiary after being convicted of burglary which was committed in Montgomery in 1902, was yesterday given a parole by Governor Jelks. One of the req sons for extending clemency, as given by the Governor. is the loss of a hand which boy sustained a short time ago while in the service of the State. He was working in saw mill when his hand or part of it was mashed off
 The Board of Pardons recommended the parole as did the trial judge, Hon. w. H. Thomas, of the Montgomery City Court, the former believing that the. punishment has been about suf- ficient. Judge Thomas interceded in the boys behalf because of his maimed condition His sentence was for five years. He was convicted August IS, 1902, of beraking into the house of Rev Stewart Mcqueen and stealing a small sum.
 The Governors explanation in his own words was as follows:
 This boy was sentenced for a term of five years for stealing small amount of money. Since the boy has been working for the State he has lost one hand or part of it.
 Tn the opinion of the Board he has suffered sufficiently long for the crime which he has committed, and on ac- count of his maimed condition gotten in the service of the State, I am of the opinion that clemency ought to be extended towards him. The trial judge writes a letter in his behalf.
 Let parole issue dependent upon his future good conduct"
 The parole of J. H. Johnson. a white convict at Speigners, who was all lowed a few days ago to go to his wife's home in Maplesville during her last hours on earth, was yesterday ex- tended one week by the Governor. The man was given the privilege of seeing the end of his wife which has been prolonged even longer than was hoped when the parole was first issued. She is dying of pneumonia.
 The parole was extended from No- vember IT to November "A. He is from Chiffon county.

the highest court of the State, the step was not generally known by the law yers of Alabama. For this reason no names have been mentioned in connec- tion with the vacancy. Indeed. mem bers of the court themselves did not know until yesterday afternoon that MT. Coleman was about to resign. IL is said that two years ago when MT. Coleman opened a law office down town he told the Justices of the Supreme Court that whenever he became so for tunate as to command law practice that would interfere with his official duties, he would tender his resignation That time came and MT. Coleman yes terday informed the Justices that he was ready to keep his promise.
 Successor to Be Elected.
 The Court Reporter is elected by a vote of seven Justices and as 1t will be necessary for the Reporter to take up his work at least two weeks after the court begins it's term, there is a probability that the election will take place within the next few days
 The duties of the Reporter are to compile the decisions of the court. put proper head-notes to them and have them published in book form. This re- quires a thorough knowledge of the law and a keen insight into court methods It Is popularly supposed that

 Mir Coleman. who is a graduate of the State University at Tuscaloosa, was elected Reporter of the Court in 1894 when the high tribunal consisted of five members-Chief Justice R. c. Brickell and Associate Justices T. N. Mcclellan, Thomas W. Coleman, J. B. Head and Jonathan Haralson. Previous to his election as Reporter he had been Secretary of the court for six years. having been called to that position in 1888 when the court consisted of three members-Chief Justice George w. Stone, and Associate Justices Tender son M. Somerville and David Clopton.
 The retiring Reporter is native of Alabama. He is a son of Hon. A. A. Coleman, Judge of the Tenth Judicial Circuit. He finished his academic edu cation at the State University in the class of 1883 and was graduated in the Law Department of the same institution in the class of 1885. For two years

 From the viewpoint of compensation the office of Reporter of the Supreme Court is one of the best in the State Capitol.

MIR. JORDAN TO SPEAK
PRESIDENT OF COTTON GROWERS
 AT COURT HOUSE TONIGHT.
Farmers VIII Have n Bryss Band and Crowd Will Hear mn ExhOrtatfon for Fiftccn-Ccnt
 Cottou.

The haDpiest occasion with the cot ton growers of Montgomery County since = visit of President Roosevelt will be experienced tonight in the coun- ty courthouse when the first address of President Harvie Jordan. of the Southern Cotton Association. in this city. will be delivered The speech will begin at o'clock sharp.
 The Montgomery County Cotton Growers Association, which is subor- dinate of the Southern organization. has charge of the program for tonight. President W. H. Vaughan has succeed ed in getting the services of the Mont gomery City Band for the occasion. At 7:30 o'clock this band will start It's music on Court Square or nearby and after few selections it will march with
 the members of the Cotton Growers Association and all interested business men to the court house.
 Those who have heard Mir. Jordan speak in the past are warranting for an
 interesting talk tonight. That he is
 a master of the argumentative in hand- ling the farmers end of the cotton economies has been already proven. The readers of his address esssthroughout the South have been convinced that the growers of the great staple have the right man in the correct place and that he is an exhorter of the needed type. One of the things that Mir. Jordan will urge tonight Is holding cotton from the market for f5 cents. This he has already urged in his periodical appeals to the different presidents of the State divisions of the Association. He will give the reasons why this price ought to be enforced by the farmers and is expected to tell the local growers some interesting essentials about storing the cotton that is being held and is to be held. In other words, the question of warehouses to be owned by the famers now uppermost in the county will be threshed out.

AFTER BRYAN.
The Federal Referees Not Pleased With
 His disappointment.

His ReappOintment.
 Birmingham Ledger.
 Birmingham is at present the setting for a scene. in which the actors are largely citizens of Montgomery, but which, 1t is said, affects large issues over the entire State. and which, 1t Is also said, aim at the prestige Judge Thomas G. Jones at present enjoys with the national administration.
 The matter at issue is the taking of office of United States marshal for the Middle District of Alabama, by Lee J. Bryan of Montgomery. It is assert ed that charges have been preferred against Marshal Bryan and that they are now being investigated. The exact manner in which the investigation is being conducted cannot be learned, but it is a certainty that 1t is at present in progress.
 The singular part of the whole affair is that the chief actors are fighting 1t out in Birmingham instead of Mont gomery. Judge Thomas c. Jones, upon whose recommendation Marshal Bryan was appointed recently, it is said, over the protests of the Federal referees, is in Birmingham presiding over the Federal Court Marshal Bryan is at present in this city. Federal Rerefee Joseph O. Thompson is here, where he spends most of his time. The incident upon which the charges against Bryan are said to be founded is alleged to have occurred in this city some two years ago.
 None of the parties interested are talking of the matter. It was an open secret at the time the reappointment of MT. Bryan was announced, several weeks since, that the action was taken upon Judge Jones initiative, and that the referees strongly opposed it, al- though practically forced to give in at the last moment. Judge Jones is said to be a warm supporter of Bryan on account of indicidents which came up some time since, when the two were brought close together by the A. B. Coluuitt matter.
