DENIES AGREEMENT WAS MADE
 WITH DONELsON.
Agent of Pavin9 CeApany Testines That AlAeFman Was Not to Pay for Paving Hearing
 Agaln TOnfght.

Birmingham. Oct. lo.---( Special. J.. Tho graft hearing against Alderman John w. o'Neill continued tonight un- til tI;20 o'clock
 John Donelson. representative of the Bitulithic Paviag Company. testified that he entered into . contract with O'Neill whereby paving in front of the residence of o'NeiiI should not cost him anything if he would favor the Sixth Avenue paving.
 Lieutenant Governor Gray was on >ths stand but his testimony only had reference to Donelsop telling him ot an agreement with o'Neill.
 The accused Alderman took the stand and denied positively that he had ever grafted or even entered into an agree mont as to tho paving on Sixth Avenue or any other Avenue. He said he had had but few conversations with Donel- son or any officials of the Bitulithtc Company and never in regard to being paid to support any ordinance.
 He denied positively that he had en- tered into any agreement with Donel- soh and said that he had always fa- vored competitive bidding for all street work.
 The paving on Sixth Avenue is not down yet because of the opposition to 1t of o'Neill.
 Adjournment was taken by the Com mittee until Friday night when Alder man o'Neiii will present other wit nesses to corroborate his claims. A verdict Is looked for tomorrow night.

NO SHERIFF YET
GOVERNOR FAILS TO nAwr AP
 POrNTMENT xDsTEnDAY.
Delay 0 serfeus Inesnvensence ts Court 0Mclals anA orana surx-
 under SheriRs Hot After

Governor Conner has not yet appoint ed Sher36 for Montgomery County. He was v{ry busy yesterday with oth- CT mattera and 1t b understood, b having the Attorney General ahcertain whether or not hIs appointment eov- in Belser's term of once or whether t is to be effective only to the next general election. While the Governor is delaying this appointment the grand jury and courts that are in session are suffering. acc cording to admissions made by court officials and members of the grand jury. Fortunately for the grand ju- TOTS, there is comparatively little bus- mess. The under sheriffs. or deputies, are more interested just at present in being on the right side than they are In the affairs pertaining to the sher- iff's ofice.
 Since the names of the probable can- didates have been mentioned. deputies have commenced campaign In order to hold their jobs. no matter who is plained Of by certain of the grand ju- TOTS. and is admitted by officials of the court.
 Acting Sheriff rice said that he was satisfied with the situation. but that he does not care how soon the Cover nor makes the appointment. To friends MT. Tice made the statement that he wished the Governor would make the appointment right away, as he did not have the time to devote to the ofice. He also intimated that the returns during the present demoralf- zation is not sufncient to meet ex- penses..
 sMr. ". B. Howard. foreman of the grand jury. when seen by . represen- tative of The Advertiser. declined to be interviewed. He also declined to convenienced by the lack of attention of baiiiffs in the sherifrs ofice. Mir. Howard stated that he did not care to bs quoted on the subject.
 Solicitor s. H. Dent also declined to discuss the matter. He said that he preferred not to talk. or even be mem toned in this connection. Solicitor there had been more or less demoral- ization in the Eheriff's c9!sce since the death of the late Sherfff.
 It Is fact that oniys one prisoner has been received at the County jail in the last three days. This indicates that the baiIiffs or deputy sheriffs have been busy with other matters. This is something unheard of in Montgom- cry County. as scarcely a day passes that less than two or three prisoners are landed in jail for one ofrense or the other.
 Itfwas thought that surely the Gov. ernor would make the appointment yesterday. He has had plenty of time. 1t is argued. in which to decide on a competent man. and there has been no lack of applicants. The prediction that Mir. Horace Hood would be ap- pointed was not verified. although 1t was based on good authority. A change in the Governors attitude on this subject will not now be a sur prise.

Selma, Oct. lOs--( Especially tsIe- gram received here tonight from Fo- ley. Ala. to G.NA. Cunningham, con- veyed the information that Professor R. P. Hardaway was dying at his place on Perdido Ray. The telegram was from Mrs. Hardaway and the news was learned with deep regret here by the many friends of the family.
 Professor Hardawag came to Selma about twenty-five years ago from Vir- ginia to accept the position of princi- pal of the Dallas Academy and the city schools. He has had the position ever since and was regarded as one of the best educators in the South For the past year Professor Hardaway had been in bad health but he thought that he would recover his health during his vacation just passed, and went to his home in Virginia. He returned to Selma the latter part of September, and was going to resume his duties as principal of the city schools, but his physician advised him not to do 1t. but to rest for the remainder of the year.
 Upon this advice. Professor Hard away sent in his resignation, but 1t was not accepted by the School Board, who, instead, granted him year's vacation. When this vacation was granted, Professor Hardawag left for Perdido Bay. where he expected to spend the winter. He has two daugh- terss Miss Sallie Hardaway. who Is teacher of Latin in the Alabama Girls Industrial School at Montevalio. while the other daughter. Miss Virginia. Is teacher in college at Tallahassee. Fla.
 G. A. Cunningham and Capt. Daniel Partridge will leave tomorrow morn ing for Pensacola. in response to the telegram received here tonight. but It is thought here that Professor Hard- away has died since the telegram was sent. as his home is about ten miles from Foley.
