 moves one of the best and most cour- ageous affairs and. true citizenship who ever lived in this city. and his death Is mourned by every one.
 The Etowah Bar Association met this morning, and after much discussion, adopted a bill drawn up by Col. Alto V. Lee. ST.. which is similar to one now in operation in Montgomery. and provides for the creation of a criminal division of the City Court of Gadsden., with the judges salary fixed at $1,S00. A res olution was introduced and passed en- dorsing the appointment of Judge T. H.

 Senator Ben Tillman of South Caro- lima appeared before an immense au- dience at the court house last night under the auspices of the Alkahcst Lyceum Course. His subJec: was the race problem.
 He was introduced by Mayor Charles P. Smith, who said that Gadsden would not put any restrictions upon his ut terances, but judging by the comment heard afterwards, the audience was not prepared for what was coming He proceeded to handle his subject in his usual characteristic style, and many who had been expecting to hear a pcl- ished orator, and to see South Caro- lima gentleman of the old school. were very much disappointed.
 The Senator's language was at some points coarse in the extreme and bor- dered on the vulgar. so much SO. that many young ladies in the audience were seen to turn away with disgust. There was little developed in his speech, but what has already been printed
 This was Senator's Tillman's first ap- pearance here.

League to Re-eIect Roosevelt.

New York Times.
 An organization called the Roosevelt Third Term League, with headquarters in Chicago, is sending broadcast over the country copies of It's platform. The platform sets forth that President Roosevelt should be nominated and elected for 8 third term and tells why.
 The League is non-partisan. It wants Roosevelt nominated on any and all tickets, because. it says. he Is the peoples choice. It purposes to form an organization in every State and pro- ceed along lines not altogether dissim- liar from that pursued by the McKin- ley League in 1896. This would mean county and city organizations also.
 Edward A Horner, formerly of Lead vile, now of Chicago, is president of the League. When asked yesterday about the movement, he sad: Tt is not our purpose to appeal to the politicians In fact we don't want any of them. It is to be matter which Is to come directly from the people, and for myself I don't care whether Pres ident Roosevelt likes 1t or not To my mind. he has nothing to say about 1t. He Is the only man in whom the peo- ple have absolute and implicit confi- dence. We know he is honest; his ac- tions have demonstrated 1t beyond ca vii :"

The north building in some of the grades
is badly crowded, and the board has
fitted up room in the basement for
recitation room to relieve the crowded
rooms, but in some Of the grade rooms
there are too many pupils for one teach
er and it is probable that arrangements
will be made this week to transfer some
of the pupils to the school building.

tendent is taking hold in manner
which will insure the success of the
schools for the coming year, and he is
going to prove popular with the students.

ing assignment of teachers under Prof.
Voelker:
NORTH BUILDING.

high school with Misses Grace Wallace
and Ella Conrey, assistants; Miss Ella

Blnghamton Man in Luck.

"Jones of Binghamton' was in town
last night, not he who 'pays the freight
but John G. Jones, as he registered at
the Hotel Leon.
For few hours Jones was sad and
Respondent, and was not afraid to tell
his troubles. Later in the day he was
the happiest stranger within our gates,
when he came up to the clerk of the
Hotel Leon and whispered, II found 'em;
got 'em down at Bell g. Robinson's.
Now can eat good dinner and look
forward to smoking Wadsworth Bros
"Chico' afterwards. Bell & Robinson
say they have not had the AChicosv in
stock very long, but they are already

Strange how homesick it makes a
man to lean over cigar case and not

That was the way felt all day, but
when went into Bell & Robinson's and
saw my old friend, the Wadswurth Bros.

coming to yours truly. 1t only costs
5cts, but there is no 10c. cigar that is
as good, and l have smoked most of
