Montgomery, May 19.-(Speclal.)-H. E. and Merritt Vandiver, sons of W. F.. Vandiver, engaged W. T. Wear and H. F. Wilson of Opellka in a difficulty at the union depot tonight. The trouble grew out of publications in the Opelika News, of which Wear is editor regarding w. K. Vandiver.
 H. F. Vandiver approached Wear and when told by him that he was in part responsible for the objectionable publica- ton struck Wear and knocked him down, who he says made motion as if to assault him with his cane. H. F. Wilson, who was with Wear, ran up as if to take part when Merritt Vandiver struck him. No serious damage was done and the police separated the belligerents.
 Wear and Wilson made bond, as did the Vandiyers, for trial a week later.

political sentiment in the state, and by all the laws that should result in a smaller vote for the candidate against whom tho change is operative.
 But strange to say even the eldtime politicians do not know just how to size up the situation; they profess not to know whether 1t is going to be Brown or Smith. There are several of them who have travelled over the state and made inquiry, and they are willing to con- municate their conclusions privately, but when it comes to talking for publication they crawl into their shells.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-05-20

Simultaneously with the indorsement of Governor Smith by Senator Clay comes the indorsement of Joseph M Brown by
 Congressman Gordon Lee of the Seventh | congressional district. MT. Lee says he has known MT. Brown all his life, knows hmi to be man of integrity and ability, and he proposes publicly to support him, Now Congressman Lee has opposition Iu
 the Seventh for renomination, and 1t is generally considered, politically, a pretty
 bold stroke for a candidate with opposi- ton to openly take hand in somebody
 else's fight. The conclusions which the politicians are drawing from the action of Congressman Lee, therefore, are either
 that he knows he has his own race won,
 or else that he knows MT. Brown is going to get an overwhelming majority of the
 votes in the Seventh district or both those who pretend to know anything
 about the situation in the Seventh say it is both.
 pr. Broughton's Views.
 Considerable surprise has been expresse l ever the action of Dr. Len G. Broughton
 pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle here, in | announcing in one of his sermons that he was supporting Governor Smith and giv- ing his reasons therefor. It is not that the act itself was surprising, for Dr.
 broughton has accustomed his congrega-
 ton and the public to surprises of this
 sort, and his is, perhaps, the only church congregation in Atlanta which applauds the pastor ny handclapping whenever he says forcibly anything that accords with their sentiments. The surprise is due to
 the fact that it has not been 10 days since
 Dr. Broughton in a scathing card de- ncunced the trustees of the Georgia Anti Saloon league for indorsing Governor Smith after both candidates had stated they would uphold the prohibition law. In that card Dr. Broughton declared {, that the Ant-Saloon league had played

 Governor Smiths frienos realize that he

as headquarters, the Salt Lake Route

will remain in the Poughkeepsie jail
pending an application of his counsel
to Justice Bowling of the supreme
court for change of the order com
hitting him TO the state hospital for

ion was rendered by Justice Morsch'
auser of Poughkeepsie after hearing
arguments of counsel IN this city today
on a motion to transfer the prisoner
to any state asylum other than an
asylum for insane convicts. Justice
Moraschauser expressed the opinion
that II might be better for Thaw to be
incareerated in some other asylum
than the one at Mattaewan as 1t was
evident that strained relations existed
between the head of the Matteawan
institution and Thaw.
