SOUTH'S NEWSPAPER MEN
 COMING TO MONTGOMERY
Publishers Association Will Assemble Here Tuesday and Will Be Entertained With
 Barbecue and Banquet,

State and city officials business men of Montgomery and representatives of the local process, will unite in welcome to the Southern Newspaper Publish CTS Association, which will hold it's fourth annual meeting in this city Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. With the warmth and hospitality which has become proyerbial Awherev- CT Montgomery is spoken of the city will open its gates and it's hearts to the journalists of the Southland, and will lay it's services, at the feet of the visitors to command.
 The preparations for the conven- ton, which have been in the planning for weeks, are now practically conn pleted. The hours for the business ses- sions, the features of social entertain mnt, the accommodations and comfort of the guests-all have been arranged for. It now remains only to await the arrival of the journalists, to furnish one of the most enjoyable and profita- ble conventions ever held by the asso- citation. 1
 There have been few events in the history of Montgomery fraught with greater significance ro the city than tn approaching Southern journalists. Coming at this time. swhen the spirit of enterprise and progress is strong
 
 is most important. The 1910 movement. the plans for the big State Fair of the Alabama Agricultural Association, the many new industrial enterprises and the far-reaching plans now being laid for the improvement and Identification of the city. all make the present occa- sion suspicious to degree. Never has the Capital City had more to be proud of than at the present time. and never has 1t had the privilege of en- tertaining a more representative body of men, or a body of men of more wide reaching influence upon the county at large than 1t will have in the coming convention.
 The Southern Newspaper Publishers Association, representing, as it does, the leading papers of the South and Southwest, embraces on it's rolls the names of the most prominent newspa- per men in score of cities. From Tefxas and Virginia, they will come to Montgomery this week. and from Ten nessee, Kentucky and Louisiana. Their influence extends over large part Of the United States and the newspapers published by members of the organiza- tion are known by millions of read CTS throughout the entire country.
 While a number of the members of the association have not as yet been heard from, more than thirty have an nounced their intention of attending the convention. and more are expected to send word of their attendance before the opening day of the meeting. Among those who will be here when the first

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Blacksmith Of DOxier Went to sleep
 On Track.

News reached Montgomery yesterday of the death of a white man who was killed Friday night by a fast passen- ger train of the Central Railway of Georgia. at Dozier. Covington county, eighteen miles from Andalusia
 The mangled remains of the dead man were not found until yesterday morning when passengers on a train going from Andalusia to Columbus. Ga. discovered the corpse.
 There was some doubt about the name of the man, although he was known to have been a blacksmith at Dozler Some said his name was Bridges. while others claimed It was Wallace.
 The fast passenger train which killed the man. was en route from Co., lumbus. Ga, to Andalusla, and neither the engineer nor the fireman knew that anyone had been killed until they were informed yesterday.
 ' The dead man was asleep on a tres tie when the flying passenger train struck him. causing almost instant death.
 The man was about 45 years old. He is survived by his wife, who re- sides at Dozier

STOCK YARDS
 IN SUBURBS A New Enterprise for Montgomery. NO MORE DROVES OF
 MULES DOWN TOWN ]. w. Chastain Sells His Stable
 Property. He Declares That New Ordinance Regulating Live Stock On Streets Has Worked Hardship On
 Dealers.

John W. Chastain has sold his stables and live stock yards at 1s ands21 Wash ington street to Zirkle and Mobre. The sale, according to Mir. Chastain, is a forerunner of union stock yards in Montgomery.
 Claiming that the passage of an or dinance by the City Council prohibit ing the driving of mules in droves through the streets of Montgomery has materially injured their business, Mir. Chastain says these dealers have deter mined to join in purchasing ample ground on the outskirts of the city for the location of union stock yards He said last night that his business had been practically. destroyed by the passage of the mule ordinance and he understood other mule and horse deal- CTS were similarly affected. Therefore, he said, he was compelled to sell his stables down town and find some other means of conducting his business.
 Tt Is a certainty" said Mir. Chastain, that the stock dealers of Montgomery are going to have union stock yards, We have three places in view and one of them will probably be bought by us within a month It Is expected to be- gin the erection of houses at the yards during the early part of June.
 Tt will require about five acres for us and IL IS our intention 10 locate the yards on the outskirts of Montgomery on the lines of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. We will have to train our customers to go to these wards instead of to the heart of inc city when they want to purchase stock.
 "When l came here from EufauIa many years ago. l never dreamed that I would be run out of business, but this Is practically what has been done to me. The bulk of our business is fin the mule trade. Montgomery Is the second largest mule market in the south. and the third largest in tha limited states. and the mule ordinance has worked a great hardship on us"

looking after the comforts and enter tainment of the guests.
 The first session of the fourth an- nual meeting of the Association will be opened at 10 o'clock Tuesday morn ing in the Exchange Hotel where the meetings of the convention will be held. On that occasion two addresses of well come will be made, one from the news papers of Montgomery and Alabama, by Major w. w. Screws, of The Advertiser, and the other from the city. by Act ing Mayor of Montgomery, Gaston Gun ter.
 Only a short session is planned for the first day and after the customary routine business, the convention will adjourn until 1 o'clock in the after noon, when the guests and their hosts will meet at the Union Railway Sta ticn. From here. through the courtesy ot Assistant District Counsel George w Jones. of the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad Company, a special train will take the party to Jaskson's Lake. where an old-fashioned Southern bar becue will be held. This feature of the entertainment will last through the af- ternoon, the train returning to the city at o'clock in the evening.
 Two business sessions will be held during Wednesday, the first commence ing at 10 o'clock In the morning and the second continuing through the after noon. The opening address on this day will be delivered by S, S. Rogers. of The Chicago Evening News. At these meet ings. the regular business of the Asso- citation will be discussed, and the work for the coming year outlined It is ex- pected. also, that several important resolutions will be adopted with regard to the attitude of the Southern Pub fishers on matters of public interest
 The closing event of the convention S'tll be the banquet rendered to the Visiting members of the Association, in the Pickwick Cafe Wednesday even- ing. On this occasion. the speaker of the evening will be Governor Jelks, who yesterday accepted the invitation extended by members of the entertain ment committee to address the publish CTS. He will respond to a toast on the subject of Alabama" A complete toast list which has been prepared, will be announced later. It includes a number of the best speakers in the newspaper ranks of the South, as we'll as several Montgomerians who will at tend the banquet. Among the cities represented in the Southern Newspa- per Publishers. Association. from which visitors are expected at the coming convention are: Louisville. Richmond. Memphis, Nashville. Chattanooga. Knoxville, Charlotte. Columbia, Char leston. Savannah. Augusta. Macon, Co., lumbus. Birmingham, Mobile, New Or leans, Shreveport, Little Rock. Houston. Dallas, San Antonio, Galveston and others.

street property for s17,500. The lot measures 62 feet front by 160 feet deer. It is in close proximity to the heart Of Montgomerys retail district and Is re. garded as valuable real estate, with great possibilities.
 Representatives of Zirkle and Moore said last night that they did not know what would be done with the property
 The location of union stock yards ia the suburbs will be a distinct improve. ment for Montgomery. For many yenrs the sales stables for stock have been conducted in the heart of the city, there having been a few scattered in the suburbs. and, up to short time ago, the dealers have been permitted to drive mules through the streets.
 The new project is an important one and MT. Chastain expects that it will be joined by all of the fourteen horse end mule dealers in Montgomery.

BOARD OF AGRICULTURE BEGINS
EARLY.
SPECIAL STOCK PREMIUMS
Managers Plan to Develop Annual
Show so as to Make 1t the Big
Event for Wisconsin Farmers
Premium List for School Exhibits
to Be Enlarged.
Madison, Dec. %.

Madison, Dec. "a.
The state board of agriculture Will
meet in the Office of Secretary John
M. True in the capitol next Thursday
for the purpose of starting the work
of preparation for the next Wisconsin
state fair, to be held in Milwaukee
next September.
Two important matters having to
do with the enlargement of the annu-
al state show, that will come before
the meeting are the development of
the country school exhibits and the
posting of special prizes for exhibits
of live stock. Secretary True has
been in correspondence with the lead
ing stock associations of the country,
with view of offering special premi
ums for special exhibits in this line,
and favorable replies have been re-
.ceived. The Wisconsin state fair has
already made a great name for the
quantity and quality of its live stock
exhibits, and the board of managers
desires to further develop the fair in
this important department
Exhibits of country schools were
held last September, and proved sue
cessful although tried much in the
way of experiment. Next year it is
proposed to develop these exhibits by
offering an extensive premium list
for exhibitions from county rural and
graded schools. 1t is believed wise
to develop the fair in such a manner
that it will become more and more
the great annual show of the farmers
and rural residents of the state. The
annual meeting of the board of agri
culture takes place in March.
