 tn Mobile.
 Mobile, Oct. 3o--(Speeial)--with the election of pr. D. c. Campbell as county physician by the Mobile Medi- cal Society a fight was inauKurated which is expected to prove a warm one before it is ended.

It seems that about 3 o'clock last night, Pleas Jones en- tered the store and purchased i've cents worth of Sausage and later dis- puted about the weight of the pack age of sausage which was given him.
 The dispute between the white man and the negro grew warm and the negro boy stated that curse words were passed when Angel picked up the weight and threw it at Jones as the latter started to leave. After be- ing hit. the negro fell upon the side walk in front of the door but later got up and went to his home and died this morning. The weight which struck the negro fractured his skull and caused his death.

Conduct of Captain FIournoy.

Captain w.. W. Flournoy. of Com pany K, who Is to be courtmartialed for failure to report with his com pany for duty during the recent man. euvers of the State troops. has caused much surprice among officers of the State troops. by giving out an inter- view. ~ Adjutant General Foster today wired one of the local papers as follows:
 "The authenticity of the published interivews of Captain Flournoy are re- luctantly accepted at general head quarters. as the impropriety. of such action, and of an ofIlcer in the State service giving voice to such criticism Is matter of which the Evmblest sub. altern of the most limited experience should have knowle lyc. and certainly would not be overlooked In an offi- cer of high rank anu reasonable ex- perienee.
 Tt is officially announced that the action taken against Captain Fiournoy wac upon the direct recommendation of the brigade and company comman- ders, and the charges preferred against him were made by Colonel Lefiis.
 ~The success in the military estab- lishment depends upon the faithful ob- servance of law and regulation and obedience to orders and 1t is intended that discipline shall be applied with equal force to the officer and private soldier, and 1t cannot be safely as- sumed that an exalted civilian position or personal standing of an individual will give him wider license than is enjoyed by the humblest soldier in the ranks"
