Preparations for the celebration Of
St Peters day, which fails on Sun
day, have been made on an elaborate
scale. The great Basilica dedicated
to the saint has been decorated in an
unusually magnificent manner This
is by order Of Plus, who desires to
make the observance this year more
impressive than ever, in order to set
tic the controversies that have re-
Gently waged heatedly over the place
of martyrdOm of the greatest of the
apostles. The authenticity Of the
tomb on the hill has been denied by
Catholic scholars and the pope in
tends to throw the weight of his in
f1uence in It's favor.
Since the first of the year the
pope'S health has steadily improved
by reason of the vegetable diet he
has adopted on the suggestion of his
medical advisers. He is still sub
ject, however, to occasional recur-
rences of equity disorders. If his
health will allow, the pope will per
sonally officiate at the function in
celebration of the feast of st. Peter,
which will last several hours.

NEGROES RESPECT FOR
LATE SENATOR MORGAN


Il was impressed by the attendance
of negroes at the funeral of Senator
Morgan" said a state house official
yesterday who went over to Selma to
attended the last rites over Alabama s
distinguished son.
The newspapers have drawn atten-
ton to the presence at the funeral ex-
ercises of a committee of well dressed
and intelligent negroes, the most
prosperous of their race in Selma.
The papers have drawn attention TO
the consideration which was shown
this committee by the people of Sell
ma who had in charge the arrange
ments of the funeral Those who
have misunderstood the relations be-
tween the whites and the blacks Of
the south would nave been impressed
no doubt by the consideration shown
for each other by the members of the
two races. And Selma. you know, is
the heart of the black belt.
But not less significant than the
presence of this committee was the
large attendance of negroes who came
in from the country. The negroes OF
Selma and of Dallas county seemed
united in a desire to pay tribute 10
the greatness of Senator Morgan. II
was a notable fact that great many
of the negroes who swelied the large
crowd which came to Selma to honor
Senator Morgan were old and gray
haired. They were negroes who had
known the distinguished Albanian
in other years and who honOred him.
The honor they paid him was illus
trative of the respect the negro of
the older regime paid to the white
man or that order. '-MOntgOm Ad-

tain to be a great success.
Because the big event does not full
fill all the requirements necessary

cided to hold another race, which has

being fuel consumption. This is

Thousand Years Old.
A notable festival was that held
at Romsey this week to commemo
rate the 1,000th anniversary of the
towns founding. The pageant was
among the most brilliant ever seen
in England and attracted thousands
of visitors from London. In the spirit
of the ancient mystery plays of the
middle age, the natives of Romsey
reproduced scenes of important events
occurring in the long history of a
thousand years.
The beautiful park of Broadlands,
the home of Viscount Palmerston
and many other famous statesmen,
was the scene of the performance,
which served to bring back to the
spectator visions of England as it
was in the tenth century.
One of the most spectacular scenes
reproduced was the sacking of Rom
sey Abbey in 994, by King Sweyn
and his piratical Danes. The costumes
of the maTauders were copied from
remnants dug up a century ago in the
peat uC0l 4NOLAOCSs anu "HlCn HClC
doubtless worn by the invading sea
wolves a thousand years ago.
Another inspiring scene was that
representing the wooing of Good
Queen Maude, at that time an inmate
of Romsey convent, by Henry Beau
clerc. AS the lovers plight their
vows before the abbey. they are star
tied by the passing of dolerul fun
eral procession, of which it has been
written, in words that will last for
ever: The rolling blood-stained car
and driver grim, who points his finger
to the lifeless body of the king"
The rolling, blood-stained car" it
may be mentioned, was of a type still
in use, which have come down I'M
changed from Norman times, and the
driver was a direct descendant of the
original charcoal burners of the clan
of Purkiss, who for 500 years have
lived on the same farm near the spot
where Rufus fell. The ancient road
to Winchester, still called Kings lane
crossed the river at the very spot
where the pageant was held.
Thus, on ground hallowed by the
tread of kings, natives of ROmsey set
forth ancient Saxon and Norman
scenes which are familiar to all stu
dents of English history. There was
depicted the seizure of Romsey abbey
by Henry VIII, and the expulsion of
the white-cowled nuns and black
robed priests, and the visit of King
James 1 to Romsey to grant a charter
to the town. A fig tree planted by
him to commemorate the visit still
flourishes, and is an object of venera-
ton by the townspeople. Direct de
scendants of many who took part in
historic events played their parts in
the pageant, among them Henry st.
Barbe, whose ancestor of the same
name entertained King James l.
