 The association adjourned at 10:30 a. m, bringing to a close the fourth annual convention of the Music Teachers ass Jcia- ton of the state of Alabama.
 Next year the association meets at Mobile.
 Flag Day Observance.
 There was no downtown evidence of flag day in the cradle of the confederacy, though members of the Daughters of tho Confederacy had out the banners of the nation on their homes and about their premises. The flag on the capitol has been at half mast for Senator John T. Morgan, while the same old dirty rag that serves Uncle Sam at the government building, save special days, Is making its usual efforts to appear gay.
 The big red and white and blue banner, a Joy to every good citizen, often dis played on the national headquarters in this city, was not in evidence, and when inquiry was made as to It's absense of fioers of the building said that it could not be brought out save on stated holt days. It was further said that any at- tempt at decoration of the building save
 on days set apart by the law Is always followed by reports 70 Washington. and | frequently results in reprlmands. 1t seems that there are men in the city who are ever watchful of anything that would tend to give the impression that Uncie Sam Is not protected from every possible mistake with regard to giving of honors. It Is related that on the date Of the visit of President Roosevelt some of his admirers inside and out of the postoffice structure contributed to a fund with which 1t was decorated. An industrious busybody sent the word along at once to Washington that the regulations had not been observed. While 1t was not pro- ductive of criticism in that case the in- cident serves to illustrate the nonsensical attitude of some of the ever watchful medders who anxious to stir Up trouble
 State Is Sad.
 Flag day strikes Alabama and Mont gomery at a time, however, when the people do not feel like celebrating even so great a cause. The death of Senator Morgan Is weighing heavily upon the cit izens, and they do not take to any move ment that has anything of the gala about 1t. Even the talk of his successor has nto been taken seriously outside of those who keep well in touch with politics Tn the state and the nation. There has rare- ly been so general a showing of sorrow in the state over the passing of q public spirited citizen. Long part of the state the people had become accustomed to hi being at Washington as part of the zen eral government, but valuable posses
 sion of the staGe and it's citizens
 Alabama also watches with renewed in- terest at this tiIne the health of its other distinguished citizen, three years older than the man who Is bringing the body of his colleague home. He will be one of the most sincere mourners at the grave side, In a city where they both became men of affairs. and where they both are loved in peculiar way.

The next annual convention of the Southern Musical association will be held in Mobile, though the time has not as yet been named.

 Miss Georgia Stirling, care Alabama Musical association, Montgomery Ala: Mobile extends to your association cor dial welcome. and trusts that their next convention will be held here.

 Educational Work.
 Miss Harris, the president, spoke of emphasizing the education feature of the association to a greater extent in the future than it has been in the past, stat ing that the purpose of the association was education as well as assembling for the sake of hearing musicals and con certs. She said she thought that at future meetings the mornings might be devoted to this feature. and that the afternoons and night might be given over to con- certs
 This matter was discussed to sons eX- tent by those present, 1t being the sense of nearly all who took part that tie edu- cational feature should be emphasized more in the future than has been done in the past and that greater prominence to these meetings be given on the pro- grammes.
 Miss Smith, In making her remarks, deplored the fact that at the business meetings of the association there had been a small attendance of local mem bers. stating that there had been fewer to attend than in any other place where she had known the association to be held.
 Before adjournng a motion was made extending a vote of thanks to the meui- bers of the Commercial club for the use

 There has gone out over the country an absurd report that an attempt would be made in Selma tomorrow at Senator Morgans funeral to assa assnate Vice President Fairbanks and Senator Fora ker. It's orgin was in Montgomery, hay ing been brought to Selma by a young newspaper man not long resident of tnls section, who called upon Chief of Pollce Walters immediately upon his arrival in the city and informed him that just prior to the leaving of the Selma trai.i from Montgomery he overheard a Dago say that Vice President Fairbanks and Sena- tor Foraker would be assassinated dur ing the funeral of Senator Morgan in Selma and that parties were coming fror New Orleans to do the deed. Asked wh he did not report the fellow to the chl, of police, the newspaper man stated that he could not leave the train shed as His train was just about 10 pull out.
 Chief of Police Taylor of Montgomery was phoned by Chief Walters of this city and the latter gave no credence to the re- port. consultation among the autRori ties in Selma led to the conclusion that there was nothing in the rumor and great regret was expressed that such a thing should have been started. Denials weJ J immediately sent out over the Associated Press wire by the latter's Selma repre- sentative, and to other papers by local representatives.

BUILDINGS ARE DRAFTED

Selma. June 14.-sad quiet. resigned, Selm.l awaits the return of her warrior, statesman, friend. While she knows that it is but his form of dust, yet she glories that it is bourne upon a stalwart shield of love. while still his sword of justice. spear of bravery and deeds of honesty are ever living testimonies to the life which is gone.
 If the city of his youth could think that John Tyler Morgan could return with greater accomplishment, another record, or more upright character, then she might have. cause for bitter grief. but here sorrow and tears are mingled with confidence, for she knew him as he was.
 The streets of Selma were never so hushed, nor so dead in mourning. Every building is draped with black and white. One has an especially appropriate cloth ing. The drapery Is arranged in bars and at each crossing the stars and bars hang at half mast with the stars and stripes, t..e two flags for whose glory Alabama's greatest man spent his life.
