Clayton. of the Third Alabama District. A daughter of Senator Pugh. Mrs. sallie Elliott. is a resident of Eu- faula.
 On the outskirts of the city Is a beautiful old ante-bellum home in which Senator Pugh lived when he was elected to the Senate But since his life in Washington, 1t has been given over to tenants and it's former beauty has been sadly neglected
 A large eoncourse of the people Of Eufaula will turn out to pay respect to the man who had such a long and distinguished public career.

RURAL SCHOOL LAW
MANY INQUIRIES ABOUT ACT FOR
 NEW BUILDINGS.
Many Localities Ask About Operation .of Enactment Making state Aid
 to Districts Over the

Letters of inquiry as to the provis- ions of the act approprtating $e7,ooO for the building of rural school houses are flooding the State Department of Education. The act is the first at- tempt of the State of Alabama to assist in the building of school houses, and there is a general disposition on the uart of rural communities to take ad- vantage of the generosity of the act.
 The law apropriates $67,00o each year. $l,O00 for each of the sfxty-seven counties. for the building of rural school houses. The law provides that no money shall be expended out Of that fund for the erection of school house in any incorporated town or city.
 An important provision of the law is that before application can be made for a part of the fund, the school dis trict making the application must first deed to the County Board of Education two acres of ground which are to be used as the lot for the school structure.
 The law further provides that before making application the district must have raised at least $100 for the school building. If the application Is favor ably acted upon, the State will give dollar for every locality-raised dollar, up to $200. That Is, the state VIII make no donation until $100 has been raised and no matter how much above that is raised the State will never make a donation of more than $200 to any school district in any one year. The district, of course, has permission to raise as much money as 1t sees fit. but the State in no instance gives more than $2O0.
 The application must be made by the district trustees to the County Board of Education, and If favorably acted upon by the county board, the Superin- tendent of Education must approve 1t and then the order for the proper amount will be certified to the Auditor, who will thereupon draw his warrant.
 The people of the State are manifest ing a lively interest In the law. School men say that 1t Is one of the most important acts passed by the Legisla- tufe.

even greater improvement for the Southern portion of the square The plans provide for handsome fountain If 1t is determined that the State can bear that expense. The fountain will be in that portion of the Capitol Square which only few months ago was cov- cred by residences, stables and COW lots. Around the fountain there will run a driveway. which win be the only driveway reaching the Capitol.
 The old driveway which came up a steep hill in the rear from Union Street, will be filled and made level with the surface of the yard. The new drive will enter the Capitol yard from Washington Street and end at the side entrance of the Capitol In the new wing. The present red clay as- pect of the southern portion of the square will be transformed into lawns and flower beds. Particular attention will be paid to the growing of flowers in this part of the yard, as there are no elm trees to shade the ground.
 The work will be done this spring aud summer.

Negro was Murdered.

The finding of the dead body of negro coal miner Named Thos. Stafford, sewed up in a blanket and weighted down with rocks and an old axe, show ing that foul play had taken place, has resulted in the arrest of Will Jackson and two other negroes, including a woman.
 The body was found floating on a pond near No. 2 prison at Pratt City. Jackson was a boarder at the Stafford home He was released from the peni- tentiary on Dec 27. 1906, having been paroled by Governor Jelks. He was sent up from Pike County for murder and was given a life sentence. After serving fourteen years and eight months. he was paroled and took up his home with Stafford and wife. He met stafford while the latter was serv- ing a sentence, being sent up from Mo bile. Jackson denies the crime, but statements made by stepson of the murdered negro are conflicting Stafford worked in the mines at Coal burg. six miles from Pratt City, and left his home in that place Feb. IA.

New York Times.
 No situation has ever been presented in politics quite like that which now surrounds the two Senatorships from Alabama Messrs Morgan and Pettus are very old men, and the Legislature which has reelected them has chosen two "alternates" to step into their shoes in case they die. It is equivalent, or course, to giving Messrs. Morgan and Pettus a life tenure of office and desig-- hating the heirs. These heirs are ex- Governor Johnston and ex-Representa- tive Bankhead. It is assumed that they will be Senators some day. but that IS all that can be said. F
 MT. Morgan Is nearly es years old and Mir. Pettus Is nearly S6. They are both active, vigorous and influential. The respect that Is accorded them in the Senate is not due chiefly to their gray hairs, but to the intellectual em- thence. of MT. Morgan, and the solid attainments of Mir. Pettus.
 Mir Morgan is the most industrious worker in Senate which is full of hard workers Whenever he enters on one of his famous four-day talks to filibus- ter some proposition out of existence he never fails to flag out Senators, who from his standpoint, are mere youths or 50 or 50. At the end of these endur- ance trials, Mir. Morgan is fresh and vigorous, though he has done all the work Every day of his life MT. Nor gan performs an amount of work which seems prodigious to men half his age
 From the gallery Mir. Morgan looks older and feebler than MT. Pettus. He Is of slight and rather emaciated frame. Mir. Pettus has great shoulders and a broad chest, and must have been man of enormous physical strength. Meet them at home or in the corridors, and the impression is reversed. Mir. Pettus, while still strong and vigorous, and showing his age but slightly, yet shows it more than Mir. Morgan. Mir. Morgan's blue eye stilI glints and flashes as when he led his cavalrymen to battle forty-f1ve years ago.
 They are very remarkable pair, not in age alone. They constitute practically third party in tho Senate. The ideal of absolute independence of party has been reached by both of them. They always vote alike. and only in name are they Democrats, Tor the dictates of the party are matters Of absolute indifference to both.
 Each question as 1t comes up they examine and decide by only one test-- the test of their archaic principles. Nobody ever labors with them to change an intention. nobody ever of fers them inducements or suggests con- alterations of expediency, for it would be useless. Nobody even argues with them to amend their convictions, for there is no meeting ground. The con- victions are the product of principles learned when the other Senators were boys, and there is no basis for ar gument. The world has moved on, and the very language in which those prin- ciples are expressed is foreign to the ears of this generation.
 Of these two extraordinary men 1t is hard to say which is the more in-

BURIED AT OLD HOME
SERVICES OVER SENATOR PUGH AT
 EUFAULA TO-DAY.
Remains to Reach There Via Atlanta and Macon at o'clock This Morning With Services
 Two Hours Later.

The body of ex-United States Senator James L. Pugh will arrive at his old home in Eufaula this morning at o'clock. The funeral services of the dis tinguished Alabamian will be held at 10 o'clock this morning.
 The body was not brought by Mont eomerv as was at first announced. The funeral party went to Eufaula from Washington by way of Atlanta and Ma con. Unless connections are missed, the remains will reach Eufaula at 8 o'clock and the last rites will be paid the re- mains of the distinguished dead two hours later.
 Although Senator Pugh continued to live in Washington after his retire. .ment from the Senate. he always claimed Eufaula as his home, and to his Alabama friends he explained that his Washington residence was only main tained because his law practice de- handed his presence in that city.
 Senator Pugh was perhaps the oldest citizen of Eufaula. He was praeticing law in the Bluff City sixty-five years

The wray Case.

The Wray Case.
 The jury in the case of Richard Wray was completed at 2 o'clock this after noon and the trial was begun. The first witness called was Dr. B. A. Fox, who was called to see Gearge Freeman shortly after he was killed In house at the corner of Avenue B and Twen- tieth Street in February, 1906. He drew a diagram of the room, showing where he found the body, and said that a pis- tol was lying at the dead mans feet. The testimony of Dr. Fox went to show that the bullet entered the right side and took a course toward the breast bone. The physician also went into de- tails of the autopsy at the undertaking establishment.
 When he went to the room he says he found Marie Martin, Wray and Irma Henderson in the room. After making the examination he says Harry Mat thews and Charles M. Landsdowne had entered.
 When the list of witnesses was called after the jury had been com pleted Charles M Landsdowne did not answer to his name. It was said that he is desperately i'll at his home here in Birmingham. Mrs. George Freeman did not answer to her name. but 1t was said she will be produced. If need ed She is the widow of the dead man.

London, March 12.-According to The Chronicle today the official &C., counts of the Dreadnaught's behavior on her trip to Trinidad are not alto- gether supported by private letters. The engines worked well, but the heat in the engine room exceeded any thing ever experienced by those on board. Owing to the great size of the ship her manoeuvering qualities at slow speed were not equal to those of smaller ships.
 It Is stated that the big battleship cannot keep her station with recipro- eating ships at twenty Knots and that for night manoeuvering without lights in close formation the ship Is out of the running.
