NEW DECATUR MAY
 GET ALOCAL OFFICE
Western Union Telegraph Go. May Open a Place Uptown for Peo-
 ple's Convenience.

Decatur, May 1.-(SpeciaD Ut has been currently reported on the streets of the Decaturs that the Postal Telegraph com pany would open an office in New De- catur, and that they would use wire of the Morgan County Telephone company into that city. Your correspondent has investigated this report, and found that there was nothing in it.
 New Decatur has day telegraph office at the New Decatur deport, and for some time they have been dissatisfied with this office, and have time and again asked the Western Union company to give them an uptown office. F. B. Mar tin, manager of the Western Union at Decatur has investigated the New De- catur situation, and come to the con clusion ths~, an uptown office in that city would not pay, and so advised the The bulk of the New Decatur telegraph ing is done by the Decatur office, which is amply supplied with operators to handle the business of both Decatur and New Decatur. The Decatur office remains open until Il 30 o'clock D. m.
 The people of New Decatur have tried to get the Postal Teleghaph company to establish an office in New Decatur, but as yet nothing along this line has been done by that company. The Postal hasn't an office at present in either of the De- caturS

MOODY PRICE SUSPENDED.
Politics Said to Figure In Police
 Muddle.

Meridian. Miss, May 1.-(Special.)- Moody Price, member of the police de- partment, was today suspended by Chief Bludworth for thirty days, being charged with insubordnaton, and the Mayor and municipal boards are requested to make the suspension permanent. The filing of charges by the chief has caused a sensa- ton, Officer Price being an avowed can didate for chief at the next election against Chief Bludworth.
 The claim is advanced throughout tho city this afternoon that politics is cut ting a considerable figure in the action of the chief. Officer Price denies stren- uously the charges preferred and has de- manded a trial. having secured counsel to defend him. There is well defined ru- nor tonight that friends of both sides are endeavoring to effect a compromise of the misunderstanding and to have all charges withdrawn.
 B. G. Buntyn, formerly a prominent cit izen of Canton, Tex, arrested here on charges of forgery alleged to have been committeed two years ago in the Lone Star state. will return to that place with out a fight to stand trial. He has been in Meridian several months and has made splendid impression here. The local firm employing him assures the young man that his position is again open to him when his troubles in Texas are over

MRS. BROWN BURIED
 AT GREENVILLE

 Profitable Session.

Greenville, May 1.-(Special)-The re- Ensley Saturday night, were brought here on the noon train and the funeral took place at the cemetery immediately after arrival the Rev J. P. Hamilton officiat- ing. H. Brown was called to his mother | bedside a week ago when she grew alarm ingly worse, after having improved some what from a long illness. Two other sons, a daughter, Mrs. Shehay, and the husband, were with the sufferer. Mrs. Brown was a native of this county, be- ing Miss Lidia Armstrong prior to her marriage. She was universally loved and respected
 The interest in the missionary confer ence continues unabated and large crowds are in attendance. Saturday was de- voted entirely to business sessions. Dr. J. s. Frazer preached at Il o'clock Sunday and his discourse was masterly effort. His theme was in accord with the spirit of the occasion, and deep thought and logical reasoning with an impressive delivery, made the sermon one of very great interest.
 At o'clock and again at the evening hour Mrs. Cobb and Miss Eliza Cortes held the attention of very large audiences. Miss Eliza Cortes Is q native of the City of Mexico She is a beautiful young girl who was converted to Christianity several years ago and her faith and zeal are very touching.

While in this community to be educated, she is doing all in her power to bring her associates nearer the Master She is at present at tending the school at Livingston and is a delegate from the Golden Links there.

IMPROVEMENT CLUB
 IS ORGANIZED
Warrior Wants Prohibition Law With Teeth In It'-HagIer Is
 Endorsed.

Warrior, May 1-(Special. .)-At meet ing yesterday evening attended by a considerable majority of the business men and taxpayers of Warrior, it was de- cided to organize Commercial Improve ment club and to make an effort to bring about better conditions financially and morally than those now existing. The teen years prior to 1903 had no saloons in that year, owing to unfortunate dissen- sion among the temperance people-and a mistaken belief on the part of some of the merchants that the sale of liquors in the town would benefit business, a move ment to re-establish saloons was suc- cessful and the town has had three years of open saloons.
 The increase of crime and disorder and the bad effects on all other lines of bus mess, have been so great and so apparent that there is now an almost unanimous sentiment-outside of those interested in the saloons-in favor of a return to prohi- bition and committee was appointed to prepare and urge the passage by the next legislature of a law for that pur pose. It IS the intention 10 nave a Dlll carefully drawn and to secure a law that can be more readily and effectually enforced than the former prohibition law. which had numerous defects. It is pro- posed this time to ask for a law with teeth in it.''
 II. H. Hagler, as a candidate for the legis- lature, was unanimously endorsed by the meeting, and he pledged himself if elected to use every effort to secure the pas sage of such a law.
 MT. Hagler is the present Mayor of Warrior and also a member of the county Board of Education The people of Jeffer- son county know him to be honest and capable and that he will give careful study to all questions that may come before the legislature, and will vote for what he believes the best interests of the people of the state. His friends conf- dently look for his election as one of the seven representatives.

MARENCO COUNTY
 COURT CONFINES
Cap Dixon, Negro, Is to Be Hanged for Murder June at
 Linden.

Linden. May 1.--(Speeal. 1.-The spring term of the circuit court of Marengo county convened here yesterday, Judge John T. Lockland presiding The grand jury was empaneled and after listening to an ahle and instructive charge from the court retired to their room and com menced their labors with c. H. Miller as foreman and F. If. Bledsoe as bailiff B. c. Smith, candidate for state audi tor. Is here soliciting the suffrage of the people.
 H. c. Compton, one of Marengo's noble sons, but who now lives In Birmingham | and who is a candidate for railroad com missioner, addressed the voters of his home county in the court house here yess | terday morning in the interest of bis can didacy. He was introduced by J. M Mil- Ter. He referred feelingly to the associa- ton of his boyhood days, and pictured In fiowery language the nobility of Marengo's citizenship and the prosperous condition of his another county
 His saddress consisted chiefly of the argument that the railroad commission should be composed of broad minded. d-thinliing men who would mete out justice to the railroads, at the same time seeing to the interests of the common people of the state. It was useless for him to come to his old home and ask the associates schoomates and friends of his early life to support him, but his coming served to interest the people more in his behalf, and a large vote will be rolled up in Marengo county for him.
 Cap Dixon, the negro who was convict ed here at last falls term of circuit court for murder and whose ease was appealed to the supreme court must suffer on the gallows for his crime. So says the su- preme court. June is the day set sor the execution.
 Robert Richardson. the negro who was convicted last spring and sentenced to hang for the murder and robbery of Dr. Foscue. and who was taken to Selma for safe keeping, pending an appeal to the supreme court will be tried again at this term of the circuit court

Brewer Offers Prayer.

As all heads were barred, the Rev George E. Brewer, chaplain of the state convicts at the request of the governor, offered prayer. He confessed that the people owed the great prosperity of the state to the one high God, over all, and they wished to return thanks for its generosity. The blessings of the Creator were asked on the future and that all who shall come to serve from time to time In the new build ing be men of honor and virtue. who will do nothing to bring the state anything but glory and credit. The prayer was short but very impressive.
 The present capitol was erected in 1850 and 1851, being completed in the latter year. The people voted in 1S46 to move it from Tuscaloosa, and a building was erected in 1S47 by the people of Montgom- cry. This was burned in 1S49, December 14, and the one now in use took it's place. An addition was erected in 1884 to meet the demands of the supreme court library and judges. It cost s25. 900. The old build ing was built with steps running to the second floor, with the ground floors in the shape of an English basement. It cost the people of Montgomery more than S75,- GOO and was very pretty. However when the new one was erected in the early 50s the second floor step plan was abandoned and the approach made to the ground floor as now. Within the present structure the Confederate States were organized and on its front porch Jefferson Davis was. on February IS, 1861, inaugurated President of the Confederate States of America.
 The new addition will be erected at cost of something over $510OO. It will have offices to take care of the officials and will be in every way modern in style and convenience It is to be ready for occupancy by December 1 next. 1t is To- cated between twenty-five and thirty feet from the old structure, connected by. a corridor, and the front to the south will be a duplicate of the front of the pres ent building
