PROF. THOMAS'S CARD
swALL-sIzED SENSATION ON AT
 <. MARION. ~
xyr,ter Alleges that He Was Sum mariiy Discharged from Faculty of Military Institute With
 out Any Cause.

Marion. Sept. 22-(special)-Con-
 siderable gossip has been created in
 Marion by the publication of letter
 in The Standard this week over the
 signature of D. W. Thomas MT
 Thomas was the professor of English
 in the Marion Military Institute last
 session and had been employed for this
 session. which begun a little over a
 week ago. He states in his pube shed
 letter that he has been peremptorlly
 and summarily dismissed from the ln-
 stitute without cause or reason, so Tar, as he knows, or can ascertain; that the assistant superintendent simply
 notified him that his services were no
 longer needed, and when the reason
 was demanded, stated the Institute
 never gave any reason for its action; that the dismission is a business prop osition" Thomas says he was or dered to remove his effects from the
 Institute at once, which he did. He says he holds contract with the ln- stitute for the session now begun ana has employed attorneys to bring suit for his salary and for damages.
 Since the publication of the Thomas letter, the matter Is being generally discussed by the townspeople who are interested in the school and regret that anything has occurred to oafhase ts progress. The consensus of opinion Is | that there have been other causes than cold business to call for the dismissal and inasmuch as the matter Is now being aired in the newspapers. the 1n- | stitute officials, who have thus far been silent, will no doubt give the public their side of the question.
 Professor Thomas was educated at the University of Michigan. At the close of the last session of the lnsti- ute, he taught a summer school at Meridian. He Is a young man and ther ehas never been the slightest per sonal charge against him so far as the public knows, and the fact that he was | retained by the Institute for another session has given the subject wide scope of discussion. Professor Thomas has been active in Sunday school and church work in the Siloam Baptist | Church. and this fact has also lent in | terest in the matter.
 l The Judson Institute opened It's
 sixty eighth session today. Rev. w. J. E. Cox of Mobile delivered very able and appropriate address to the school. special train came in bring | ing some 900 students. Dr. Patrick the President, expects to matriculate ! near 300 this session.

WHO'LL ARREST HIM?
ANOTHER QUESTION IN BALDWIN
 COUNTY MATTER
Governor Asked to Consider Possible Exigency If sheriG Should Re- fuse to Obey Order of
 Judge Brown.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Mobile. Sept. 22. In the event of refusal on the part of the Sheriff of Baldwin County to carry out the official order of Judge Samuel B. Browne of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, instructing him to pre- pare for the holding of the next term of the Baldwin Circuit Court at Daph- ne, instead of at Bay Minette, who will arrest the Sheriff? is the query of the moment with the Judge and others who are interested in the matter. The con- dition is peculiar one. Under the law only the coroner of county can arrest the Sheriff when he fails to carry out the instructions of the court and an order is issued against him for con- tempt.
 Early in the week Judge Browne wrote Governor Jelks relative to the fact that Baldwin has no Coroner at the same time referring to the conting- ency which might arise should the Sher- if refuse to carry out. his official order. The Judge, with deference to the Chief Executive of Alabama, suggested that a Coroner be appointed to meet tho predicament, If such should occur. Judge Browne received in reply to his letter the foll owing communication, with the acompanying letter to F. 0. Norton, re- ferred to in the reply to the Judge: Chief Executive Department, Alabama,
 Montgomery, Sept. 20, 1905. Judge Samuel B. Browne. Mobile. Ala: My Dear Judge-f send you enclosed copy of communic 1tion which l several d avs ago addressed to MT. E. c. Norton at Daphne.
