, Col R. B. DuMont and Lfeutenant- Colonel J. c. Hubbard of the Ist Reg imeut of Infantry Alabama National Guard have again been honored by re- election to their respective offices. sc- cording tc the announcement yesterday of the result of the election which was held February is. F8 affSl
 Adjutant General Bibb Graves gave out a statement yesterday which showed that there were thirty-one votes in all cast by the line officers of the regiment and these went unani-
 nously for the commanding officers who have been in charge for the past several years. The bailoting as par ticipated in by nearly all the officers entitled to vote, of whom there were Ithirty-six. but It is said there are one or two vacancies in the offices of lieu- tenants and this accounts for the fall ure of that part of the five who did not cast ballots.
 The reelection of Colonel Du Mont again stands as a tribute of his su- bordipates to his popularity and com petence, It means that he will com mand the lst Infantry for another term of fcur years. as he has served contin :
 uously in the same rank for the last two terms of four years.
 Both Colonel Du Mont and Lieuten- ant9Colonel Hubbard saw conspicuous service during the. Spanish American War. the former serving as a Major of the snd Alabama Regiment of volun- teers. and the latter as captain of Cem- pany II, of Troy.
 There was no opposition whatever to the reelection of these officers on Feb ruary IS. Their new commissions will be shortly issued from the office of Ad- jutant General Graves and as soon as their present terms expire they win

GOVERNOR OFFERS REWARD
 FOR SUMTER MURDERER

Governor Conner yesterday offered q reward Of $50 for the capture and con viction of a man named Sharper Camp bell who Is charged with shooting and killing Sam Mason in Sumter Coun- ty. This is in the same county where few months ago Gordon Lucas shot and killed Austis Oliver about the same time that Mason was murdered.
 There has been carnival of crime in that region of Sumter County for the past several months and the citi- gems of that community have arisen in their determination to drive the feions from their midst. or rather bring them to justice. To this end they have made repeated appeals to the Governor to supplement local rewards for the cap ture of the recent murderers.
 Most of the crime in Sumter is con- fined to the negro population but this does not deter the officers of the law from their energetic efforts to make arrests.
