FIVE RUN FOR MARSHAL

Decatur, April 10.-(Special)-A citizens mass meeting was held last night in the city hall in New Decatur for the purpose of nominating candidates for mayor, mar shal and clerk.
 The meeting was called to order by Mayor Samuel Blackwell, who stated the purpose of the meeting and then called for nominations for chairman of the meeting. Judge John c. Eyster was nomi- mated and unanimously elected. Claude McMillan was elected secretary.
 Mayor Samuel Blackwell was nominated for a third term as mayor, and James E. Morrow, manager of the American Telephone and Telegraph company in New Decatur, was also nominated.
 Guy F. Ponder was nominated for clerk to succeed himself, and Henry Hartuns was also nominated for that office.
 There were five nominations for marshal as follows: A. J. Lacy, the present in- cumbent William B. Scott, Charles K. Thomas, W. l.. Pate and s. M. Bates.
 The nomination of Mayor Samuel Black well received several seconds, and a number of short, enthusiastic speeches were made in favor of his past admins tration.

MORRIS IS BEING
 TRIED FOR MURDER
THE CASE HAS BEEN ON DOCKET FOR SOME TIME AND HAS TWICE BEEN TO THE SUPREME COURT.

Athens, April 10.-(Special.)- .)-The grand jury has adjourned after ten days ses sion and returned twenty-six true bills. This is considered small number, yet it is a large number for an agricultural county, and especially so as it has only been little more than three months since the last grand jury met.
 The criminal docket of the court is now being heard and John Morris, Jr, is on trial for the murder of B. r. Grisham, which happened in the western part of the county nearly three years ago and which has cost the county a great deal of money and men who are charged with the crime also much money and consider able time in the county jail.
 The father and son both have been convicted, the father twice and the son once, but the supreme court has reversed their cases each time, and they are now up again for trial. It is hoped that they will be gotten off the docket this term.
 Father and son both stand indicted for the murder of Grisham, who was one of the best known and most popular men in the county and the Morris were men of means and had large circle of friends. The fs Der has spent almost a fortune in the eilse.
 The new city council held it's first ses- sion last night and Mayor Frost an- nounced his committees for the year. Con- siderable other business was transacted. The election of the various city officers took place. Perry Henderson was re- elected city clerk without opposition. Sam White and Henry Eubank were both nominated for superintendent of the light and water plant. resulting in a tie vote. which was broken by the mayor voting for White. He has held the place for some time. A. J. Grisham resigned from the board and J. c. Gordon was elected to succeed him. Gordon was later elected city treasurer. defeating Leon Cartwright. Ex-mayor M. K. Clements was elected sinking fund commissioner defeating the former commissioner, Hon. w. R. Walker. The salary of the city marshal was raised from $50 to $65 and all fees to go into the city treasurer.
 A killing frost fell here last night and early gardens and fruit were damaged.

A Fiqhtinq Editor.

Claude F. Drake, who made quite rep utation in the Decaturs a few years ago as a fighting editor, is now one of the editors of the Daily Herald of Weather ford, Tex.
 Mr Drake was proprietor and editor of the Decatur Vitascope in this city for about two years, and during that time he had number of fights which grew out of the roasts published in his paper. The Vitascope was one of the most caus- tic newspapers ever edited in North Ala bama. It always told the truth regardless of whose toes it trampled on. On one occasion MT Drake whipped 250-pound policeman, notwithstanding the fact that Drake was himself a featherweight In the fight the policeman came very near biting two of Drakes fingers off On another occasion Drake horsewhiped newspaper man on the principal business street of New Decatur. For the latter offense New Decatur's mayor fined Drake $50 and costs.
 After about two years of this kind of journalism. Drake one day wrote the Vitascope's obituary and left for other fields, where his pen would be more ap- preciated than it was here.
