PROSPECT OF RAIN
Kept Many Away From
the Old Settlers Picnic
: ThurSday. '' !"

Thursday, the. day designated for the
gathering of the old. settlers of the
county at Gladstone, dawned cool and
cloudy with an east wind and an occa-
SIGNAL sprinkle Of rain. The experience
ofithe past three weeks with the posi-
bilities of dark clouds to pour out water,
discouraged a large number who had
planned. to attend, and who, thinking
discretion the better part of valor, le-
manned at home. Others wendell their
way to- the usual trysting place. but rain
necessitated seeking shelter for lunch.
As the meeting was in no wise a rep
resentative one, no business was trans
acted. The veteran president, w. B.
Powers, and veteran secretary. G. S.
Cryne, were on hand, as they always are,
rain or shine.
The train from the west, which would
have brought a large number from
Dickinson had it been on time, arrived
in Gladstone about four, and with it a
delegation consisting of Judge Camp
bell, one of the faithful, several young
people, a number of candidates for
county and legislative office and repre-
sehtatives of the Dickinson papers.
Some excitement developed over a
ball game, the girls playing against the
boys, the score standing six to three in
favor of the ladies.
A consultation late in the afternoon
resulted in fixing upon the fourth Thurs
day in July as the time and Gladstone
as the place for a second attempt to get
the old settlers together, and in the
meantime everybody is constituted a
committee of invitation.

ROBT. RICHARDSON IS HANGED AT LINDEN WITH HANDOUTS ABOUT HIS WRISTS BECAUSE
 DESPERATE ACT WAS FEARED.

Selma, June 29.-(Speclal.) )-Robert Rich ardson, who was convicted of the murder of Dr. Fosque. near Demopolis, about seventeen months ago, was hanged in the jail yard at Linden this morning at Il 30 o'clock
 The decision of the circuit court of Marengo county was sustained by the supreme court some weeks ago. For the past year Richardson has been in the jail here for safekeeping and has re- peatedly asserted that he would never be hanged. Yesterday afternoon before the deputies took him to Linden, where he was today executed he was securely without these irons having been taken from him as 1t was feared that If they were taken off he would make a break for liberty with the object in view of being shot On the gallows he protested his innocence and said that he had been treated unfairly. He said that he was not present when the murder occurred and would be rewarded in the other world.
 Before he was hanged his father mount ed the scaffold and addressed the crowd in the jail yard and on the outside. He told parents to raise their children right and that then they would not meet such a death as his son was going to. Rich ardson died soon after the trap was sprung.

MEETING WILL BE HELD

In reply to w. F. Aldrieh and other for conference of the party in Birming- ham July Il, Chairman J. o. Thompson has issued the following letter:
 Hon. w. F. Aldrich, City.
 Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your letter of the 18th, and beg to say that it will be impossible for me to attend your pro- posed conference
 I would suggest that you submit in writ ing any plans your conference may care to put before us, for the consideration of our state committee when it next meets.
 We will then give you what you want or something better Respectfully,
 (Signed) J. O. THOMPSON.
 The letter issued Thursday night by MT. Aldrich and others of the party calling for conference is supposed to have grown out of the dissatisfaction of many republicans with the action of Chairman J. o. Thompson in recalling a call for a meeting of the state executive committee. Indeed it is admitted by several men interested in the holding of the conference and 1t Is claimed by the faction favoring the meeting of the committee and the holding of state convention is laregely in the majority.

BARBECUE AT GUNTERSvlLLE. Woodmen of the World Give Enjoyable
 Affair.

Guntersvile, June 9.-(Special.) )-The local lodge Woodmen of the World gave an old-fashioned barbecue here Thurs day which was attended by large num- Der of visiting members of the order and by many people from the surrounding country. The speakers billed for the oc- casion failed to arrive, but the day was made thoroughly enjoyable to everybody by the bounteous dinner of barbecued meats and sporting events throughout the day. The Guntersville Gun club held a shoot. participated in by number of the local sports and others from a dis tance, among the number being a lady from Macon.
 After the shooting event the local ball team, with Jordan and Rogers as a bat tery, crossed bats with the Boaz team, with Thrasher and Greet as the battery, and up to the end of the seventh inning the game was very exciting and closely contested. The locals made score of two on errors and a passed ball in the first, after which neither side scored until the eighth, when the locals landed on the vis- iting pitcher and batted him around the park in rapid style. Good work was done by both teams, resulting in score of 6 to in favor of the home players.
 North Alabama has the best cultivated crop to date in years, and the prospect today for a good yield is the best in some time. although the river and adjacent val leys Is needing rain. The sand mountain district has had very heavy rains for the past two weeks. considerably damaging the crops around Albertvile and Boaz and washing away the railroad near the lat ter place day before yesterday. Notwi.h- standing the heavy rains in this section, no finer crops can be found in the whole country than those of Sand mountain to- day.

SUMMARY OF THE
 DAY IN CONGRESS
THE SENATE,

Washington, June 29.-The Senate de- voted most of it's time today to confer ence reports on railroad rate and pure food bills and the meat inspection pro- vision of the agricultural bill. All were adopted,
 The principal controversy was over the rate bill, when Senators Bailey and Till man had a heated colloquy on railroad lawyers. There was also much discus sion of the meat inspection provision. A number of senators expressed themselves as willing only to accept the House pro- vision because it was attached to an ap- propriation bill, and a deadlock would cause the failure of the supply bill.

Fitts In Town.
meeting.

William C. Fitts of Mobile, candidate for alternate United States senator, was in Birmingham last night. He was on his way to Cullman, where he will address the voters today at II o'clock.
 When seen at the Hotel Hillman last night MT. .Fitts said that after speaking at Cullman today he would make an ag gressve fight on the stump throughout the state.
 When asked if there were any partic- ular principles advocated by him he said that he was earnestly contending that men should be designated for the future vacancies in the Senate who would likely be in the full prime of life and useful ness when the service began. so that the state would get proper results and re- turns from the occupants of those most important positions and he further said that more important than this and all else was the proposition that men should be elected who would be senators by and from the people and not by and for the special interests and monopolistic com- binations-that the great and overshad- owing question now is whether the man. hood or the money shall in the future rule and govern this country.
