AS TO FALSE REPORT
BASELEss REUNION RUMORs ARE
 DENIED.
Director General Castleman of Reunion Association Defends New Orleans
 From False Reports Which
 Have Been Given Publicity.

Officers of the United Confederate Veterans Reunion Association, of New Orleans have. to express it mildly, been greatly embarrassed by the false re- ports concerning the reunion. which be-
 These reports had to do wita false rumors of yellow fever in New Orleans and of the rilucance of the business men of that city to contribute to the Reunion Fund At first the officers and members or the association which has in charge the details of arranging for the reunion were not inclined to pay attention to such absurd reports. But these reports at length, became so widely circulated that the association has come out with official and positive denial of them
 To deny these rumors and to place New Orleans in the proper light be- fore the South Director General T. w of denial In which he says:
 The health conditions in New Or leans have never been better as can be shown by the monthly reports of the city health board. which will be furnished you If desired. There has not been a single case of yellow fever in New Orleans since st October and and state are confident that no case will occur during tl.is Rummer.
 "As the time for the Reunion ap- proaches. the business men of the city are subscribing liberally, and there is not the least doubt that when the Re- union opens April 25th, sufficient fund will have been secured for the entertainment of Veterans.
 The members of the Committee are acting on this belief and are making preparations for the grandest Reunion ever held in the Soutb."

DECISION HANDED DOWN IN
 THE COULTER WILL CASE

The last will gave ali his property to Mrs. Grifi1n This will was dated sev- eral days later than the woman.s fIonze will.
 A contest arose. The Grimm will had been witnessed by an intimate friend of Mrs. Griffln and a. negro man and practically every handwriting expert in Montgomery declared that the sigaatnse of l.. K. Boultier was a forgery. A jury decided that the Griffin win WE invalid. but an appeal was immcdi- ately taken.
 In the meantime Mrs. Grimm was in possession of the property and refused to evacuate until her appeal had been decided.
 Counsel for the woman's Home pre- scented the will which was admittedly valid for probation. but Judge Gaston ruled that 1t could not be probated until the case had been finally decided.
 Counsel for the womans Home then applied for a writ of mandamus be- fore Judge A. D. Sayre of the City Court of Montgomery in Equity. to compel Judge Gaston to probate .be will, on the ground that the Gritiia will had been declared invalid and that much money was being lost to the wc- mans Home on account of this delay.
 Judge Sayre held that the appeal would have to be ruled on before a writ of mandamus could be secured. The Supreme Court yesterday upheld the decision.
 The original Boultier will case IS now before the Supreme Court and wsll be decided when the Montgomery Dis trict is taken up.

How the Evil One Came to be Popu-
 IarIy Known as 'sThe old Scratch"
 One of the many familiar names of his satanic majesty is The Old Scratch" It is undoubtedly due to the fact that scratching is so disagreeable that people thought it no worse than the evil one. A scalp full of dandruff keeps one scratching all the time; not only disagreeable but considered very inelegant in polite society-as 1t should be-because one ought to keep the scalp so clean that 1t would not itch. To cure the scalp of dandruff effective ly, use Newbro's Herpicide. It kills the germ that creates the dandruff which is preliminary to falling hair and, finally, badness No other hair preparation kills the dandruff germ. Herpicide also Is q very delightful and effective hair-dressing. Sold by lead- ing druggists Send 10c. in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co, Detroit. Mich. E. c.

boarding steamer and escaping to
Finland
The collapse of the mutiny at Syea-
borg, coupled with the breaking down
of the plans of revolutionists to Sc
cure possession of the Baltic squad
ron at Cronstadt greatly changes the
situation The spirits of government
officials have risen and those of the
reyolutionists correspondingly de
pressed Arrangements for ordering
a general strike on Saturday may be
countermanded The strike in Fin
land is already a failure, owing to the
fact that the more intelligent Firms
did not support 1t, as they realized
by placing themselves at the head of
a purely Russian revolution any
movement made might justify repris
ais and jeopardize the newly granted
liberties. The latest reports show
all rumors to the effect that the Bal
tic squadron is in the hands of the
mutineers are untrue. When the
mutineers, who were led by agitators
from shore and who believed squad
ron was coming to their rescue found
hope in that direction crushed, dis
sentions broke out among them and
they turned their guns upon each
other. Those who were determined
to die rather than surrender fired
into the ranks OF their more faint
hearted comrades, who hoisted the
white flag.

Law ON SECOND CHOICE
County Delegations and Not County Con-
yentionS Control the Dropped Vote.

One of the interesting questions |
developed by the Terrell election law |
has been whether or not it was with |
in the power of the county conyen-
tion to instruct delegates to the state
convention how to vote their second
choice or to vote the pro rata part
of the candidate whose name would
ballots. The question has been much
discussed in Houston, as we'll as in
yers have contended that it was not
within the power of the convention
J to so instruct the delegates, but in
order TO ascertain the views of the
attorney generals department Mr.
K. G. Maury, an attorney of Houston
submitted the matter to the attorney
generals department and received
the following reply, which explains
itself:
R. G. Maury, Houston, Texas.
receipt of yours of the 31st, and in
reply to your first inquiry, you are
| advised that the county convention
of county can not bind the delega-
| ton of the county, selected by it to
cast its vote in the state convention,
| by instruction as to how this deleea
ton shall cast its vote after first bal
lot, or the pro rata part Of it which,
on the first ballot, was cast for
candidate who was dropped on the
second ballot This is regulated by
law, and the party for whom this vote
will be east on the second ballot
must be determined by the delega-
! tion, and not by the county conyen-
ton.
Replying to your second question,
