BITTER COMPETITION
MACKAY SPEAKS OF INvEsTIGA-
 TON OF JACKSON.
Says If Two Rival Companies Ever Were at odds Those Companies Are Western Union and
 Postal.

New York. al)-Clarence Mackay, President of the Postal Tele- graph Cable Company Speaking today in repard to the proceedings which were instituted yesterday by the Attorney General of New York, against his Company and the Western Union Telegraph Company for ceasing to compete said:
 If two companies ever competed in the United States. these two tele- graph companies are competing and always have been. At times the com petition Is even fierce and bitter. Every merchant and manufacturer in the United States where ever we reach will bear witness to the truth of this statement
 We are litigating with the Western Union all over the country in regard to railroad right of way. In fact, the tremendous fight between the Penn | sylvania Railroad and the Western | Union was due solely to the fact that we got that business away from the | Western Union.
 The Western Union is trying to ex- clude us from all union depots and | have just succeeded in excluding us | from the Birmingham union depot which Is perhaps the finest union depot | in the country at present, and we in tend to take the matter into the courts | to set aside the monopolistic contract between the Birmingham union depot and the Western Union.
 Look at the Cuba cable which we are now laying and which will be ir operation by September 30th. and which will take a large amount of business from the Western Union. Look at the Pacific Cable which took business from the Western Union. We are the only company that ever did really compete with the Western Union and succeeded in doing so. Other companies have competed merely to be bought out ano none of them ever paid dividend ir | opposition to the Western Union. We are extending our system all the time and alDthe time are taking business

PRISONER SCRAPPY
THOUGHT HE WAS RULER OF UNI- VERSE.
Fellow Occupants of Cells Protected Agninst His Uproar And Five Depufies Were Required To
 Quiet Him.

Birmingham, July (Special.)-- Alp plication will be made by sheriff His- don to have Fresman Sexton, white man thirty-seven years of age, placed in the state asylum apprehension be- ing felt that he will do some one harm if he is not given attention.
 Sexton occupies a cell in the pase- ment of the county Jail, being placed thers at a late hour last night after five men had to overpower him. Sex ton was brought to the jailMonday on a warrant charging him with assault. Last night the prisoners in the jail complained that Sexton disturbed them by his loud noises and his manifesta- tions.
 An Investigation revealed that Sex ton was going under the hallucination that he was the Lord and that he had just come to earth. Werdens Blau and Wise attempted to take him in hand when he showed resistance and other officials were hastily summoned. Deputy Sheriffs Parker and Cousson responded and the noise caused great consternation in the jail.
 Chief Deputy Sheriff Brown went to the assistance of the other men and 1t was only by supreme effort that these men could overcome the frenzieu prisoner. He was strapped and taken to the cell in the basement. every effort being made not to injure him in the least. Outside of scratches which all men received. no bodily harm was in- flicted. Toward noon today Sexton came from under his spell and remem- bered nothing that happened during the night. Since Col. Higdon has been sheriff of Jefferson county twen- ty-two prisoners or others have been taken to the State asylums for the in sane. Never before was so much trouble has as with Sexton.
