Dr. J. T. Searcy of the Alabama In- sane Hospital to make an examination of Watts mental condition, and the physician pronounced it as his opin- ion that the murder was insane. Upon the request of the expert. the governor signed a reprieve, setting July IT as the date for execution, and paroled the prisoner into the custody of the Insane Hospital.
 Recently a letter received from Sheriff c. z. Anderson of Marshall County, drew attention to the approach of the day for hanging. In the state ment appended to the reprieve papers, yesterday, Governor Jeiks said:
 For the reasons set forth in the
 papers in this case on January IS, 1906, and because Of the further fact
 that Mir Watts is still insane or ap-
 pears to be so, it is ordered that the execution of the sentence of said Rob-
 ert Watts be further postponed until February T. 1907. It is ordered that in the meantime he be further paroled into the custody of the authorities of the Alabama Insane Hospital" Watts was convicted for the Inur- der os Perd Wrinkle, an old Confederate soldier. The evidence in the case point ed to deliberate intention, grave, 1t Is said, having been already dug by Watts for the body of his victim. Rob- bery is supposed to have been the mo- tive as on the day of his death, just previous to the murder, Wrinkle had drawn his pension.

T do not feel authorized to give out what action shall take"
 These were ~tha words of Mayor Teague late yesterday afternoon i'm. mediately after ha had held q confer ence in his office regarding the block ading of Jefferson Davis Avenue be- tween Cleveland Avenue and Holt streets by the Montgomery Traction Company.
 or two, he would probably be ready to announce the course he had decided to pursue. but the sitation now pre- vented him from doing so.
 At the conference in the Mayors 0f- flee yesterday afternoon were the Mayor. Major R. D. Steiner. represent ing the Montgomery Traction Compa- ny: City Attorney c. P. Mcintyre. City Engineer A. R. Gilchrist, and the fol- lowing members of the Council conn mittee on Franchises and Privileges and Streets: Aldermen Strauss. Taits Foster, Roemer and Jones.
 It will be remembered that, in a re- cent message to the City Council. Mayor Teague drew attention to the fact that the Traction Company was not complying with it's franchise on Jefferson Davis Avenue The agree ment had not been carried out, the Traction Company had laid It's track, but had suddenly abandoned the work. leaving the street blockaded. The Traction Company had not widened. graded or graveIed the street accord- ing to the agreement
 When the matter came up in con- ference yesterday afternoon, Major Steiner the Traction Company att torney. submitted proposition. He offered to prAperly fix Jefferson Davis Avenue between Cleveland Avenue and Holt street. with the exception of wid-- ming the street. His object in not widening the street was due to the fact that the track on Mobile stroee Is to be taken up and he. therefore. considered that Mobile street would furnish a suitable driveway to town. Major Steiner also put In the proviso that the operation of the Jackson ord- inance giving the, city e percentage of the car company's income be euspend- cd on the Jefferson Davis Avenue lina The Jackson ordinance, 1t will bs re- membered. requires the city to receive a certain amount of the receipts of the line.
 Mayor Teague. in deciding what acc tion he would take. was guided by the opinion of the City Attorney. and by suggestions from the committee.

HOMECOMING, WHERE
BIRMINGHAM AND MONTGOMERY
 ASK FOR IT.
Fair Promoters of Two Cities Ask Cow ernOr to Invite Former AlaDNnA-
 Iams to Visit the State.

Is Alabama to have State home coming, and If so where
 That is the proposition as 1t has been put up to Governor Jelks within tne fast few days. Birmingham and Mont romery. the center of iron trade ana the capital of the State, have both put in bids for the event. Both are aIter tha drawing card to the city, and each wants it for the week in which lt VII hold it's State Fair. How to settle 1'9 un9 matter, is something the goVerhor "N have to ponder over.
 As to the question whether Alabama is to have a homecoming, there seems to be small doubt. The gathering to~ gether of sons of the State mas oeeh urged by several cities of Alabama, Birmingham has it's mind pretJ .tl WI made up that it wants one, ana mont- gomery is equally anxious to greet the States expatriates. The only point which arises is, where shall 1t De held? Which city shall have the hon or of the event7 And the governor must decide.
 If is true that the governor has noth- ing to do with dictating whether Birmingham or Montgomery Is to hold the big event. It may be that ne would prefer not to be connected With 1t in any official capacity. But to him have come requests to announce q State homecoming. and the situatloh Is a puzzling one. A telegram was received by the chief executive yesterday from Robert Jeml- son, Jr.. president of the Commercial Club of Birmingham, announcing the mention of the city to hold home coming October 15 to 20. This is the week of the State Fair in Birmingham. Tha message also contained request to the governor to officially proclaim the event, and to extend an invttita- tion to ali AIabamians out of the State to return in that week. and to fore gather at the Iron City.
 Some time ago, the idea of home coming was conceived by President w. F. Vandiver, of the Alabama Asricul- tural Association, for the week of the big State Fair which that organiza- ton is to give in this city, October 22 to 27 This fair is to follow the Birmingham fair one week. The mat ter has been talked over between MT. Vandiver and the governor.
 That there should be two homecom- ings iii the State during the same month is regarded by those pushing the local gathering, as impossible. Neither would be a success. If Birm- | ingham holds a State homecoming the week before the Montgomery fair, l the event in all Likelihood will have to be dropped from the program of that | exposition. It is likewise impossible to extend the homecoming of Alabam-

 The following extracts. culled at rar- dom from professional opinions on street paving, are published without comment. But a small number of tes- timonlais are given as compared with the hundreds of unsolicited letters of approval and recommendation received from all parts of the United states and Canada, as to bitulithic paving:
 Prof. A. W. Dow, the Inspector or Asphalts and Clements for the District of Columbia:
 "The bitulithic pavement gives prom ise of being one of the most success full constructions that has ever been attempted in road building. The life of this pavement Is entirely dependent on the wearing of the stone used, as the bitumen used. Is of good quality, and Is so soft as to retain It's life Tor thirty years or more. It exceeds in good qualities any paving I have ever seen laid"
 Charles w. Gay. President, Board of Public Works, Lynn, Mass.
 "warren's bitulithic Is pleasing to the eye, smooth and almost nofseless; easily kept clean and is not slippery. Our citizens are almost unanimous in advocating 1t"
 Hon. Joseph N. Peterson. Mayor. Salem. Mass.
 q consider the bitulithic pavement by all odds the best on the market" : Robert Gwnne, Jr., Mayor, Salen, ~. !.
 "our people are a unit in favor of this pavement and they want noth- ing but bitulithic.
 Walter Mcculloh. City Engineer. Ni- agra Fall, N. Y.
 "warren's bitulithic pavement makes a good looking street, Is less noisy than either asphalt or brick. and is not slippery"
 J. W. Acton. City Attorney. Salem, N. I.
 we are completely won to the ad- vartages of Warrens bitulithic pave- ment by a section which was laid on the most travelled street In this city. being subjected to nearly all the traf- fic passing to and from the railroad station. It shows no sign of wear In the five years it has been down and 1t is so noiseless that an ordinary wagon goes over it as smoothly as though rubber-ti tired. I think 1t Is the best road I have ever seen."
 C. F. Lawton, c. E. Member American Society Civil Engineers, President Board of Public Works, Superintendent of Streets, New Bedford, Mass.

 The school has been fortunate this year in the new friends 1t has made Miss Sarah Newlin of Phiindelphia has provided the funds for a new dormitory for girls. to be called Good Hall" Mrs. Martha s. CIelow- one of the most gifted daughters of the State, has organized the Nation al Industrial Educational Association. with headquarters at Washington. n c. The purpose of this organization Is to help industrial schools in the South for white children. This orga- nization has given one scholarship to the school and will do much more in the future. The school was particu- larly Fortunate In having a visit from Mrs. Gielow, the President General, in May last Mrs. GieIow gave an even ing of dramatic reading. for which she Is Justly famous in two continents and greatly inspired both teachers and students She gave her reading for the benefit of the school and gener- ously offered to give a benefit for Camp Hill in Montgomery It is greatly to be desired that the way be prepared for Miss Gieiow to ap- pear before Montgomery audience in the interest of this school, and there is no doubt that she would met a hearty reception.
 Mrs. W. M Pelk. of New York. and daughter of the late Senator Lyon, ot Marangos this State. is the Presi- dent of the Alabama Educational As- sociation of New York City. This as sociatioh of New York women has sent to Camp Hill about $S50 and proposed to do greater things this coming fall.
 The needs of the school are many. It needs $1,00O to clear up the running expenses for the past year. It needs S10.000 for next years current ex- pense account It needs $10,000 for A suitable dormito-y for boys
 The school has helped over 300 youths in the eight years of it's life, and refused more than TOO. because of the lack of means and dormitory space. It Is a crying need of the school, more dormitory space! The students will do all the work Many worthy boys could thus be helped to get a start in an education and learn something of a trade and then the building would remain as a shelter and home for the continuous stream of sturdy youth who would come to Camp Hill in the years that are to follow.
 Herbert welsh. of Philadelphia, a trustee. has undertaken. on his re- sponsibility, to raise s10.o00 to pay of the debt of the school His fund now approximates $1,70o. The school plant Is valued at $9,000. It may be remem. bered that MT.

Evnded 15I DueIs.

Twas with great relief that the world learned that the Hungarian sportsman. zombory. had avoided the lighting of no less than 16f duels with as many Budapest bank officials. He had expressed himself contemptuously concerning the whole class because one of their number had resented being bitten by zombory's dog. The sports man takes back all that, but will fight with the man who was bitten, and had the primary as challenger. Tragedy thus gets reduced to its lowest terms of farce.
