PEOPLE ARE DISSATISFIED

Greensboro December 4-(Special. .)-Ed Williams the first of the negroes to be tried on the charge of murdering ex- Sheriff Drake at Danville ten days ago was found guilty in special term of Circuit Court this evening and sentenced 10 life imprisonment
 The jury brought in a verdict tonight at 9:30 o'clock. The trial was begun this morning and closed about o'clock this afternoon.
 There is much dissatisfaction over the verdict. The feeling ran so high that Judge Miller ordered the sheriff to in- crease the guard about the jail tonight. A large force was immediately placed at the Jail and will guard the negroes as long as it is thought necessary.
 When the trial began this morning the attorneys for Williams made a motion for a change of venue. After considerable argument the motion was overruled.
 Charlie Taylor one of the four negroes indicted for the murder, was placed on the stand by the state and he gave graphic account of the murder, implicat- ing all the four negroes including him self. He also included a negro woman who assisted the murderers in giving information.
 Taylor testified that they went into Drakes room while he slept and that Williams dealt the death blow with an iron bar. The blow was dealt on the head of the sleeping man.
 Immediately after the close of the Will Hams case the court entered upon the trial of Joe McDaniel, another negro indicted on the same charge. The taking of testimony had not been concluded when court adjourned till tomorrow morning

 MT. Hardingrs letter, to the effect that he could not accept the position to which the council elected him, follows:
 Harry Jones, President Clly CouhcH'
 City:
 Dear Sir-I understand that the coun- ell honored me on Wednesday night by a unanimous election to the vacancy on the Board of Education.
 Some days ago l was asked by the gentleman who placed me in nomination if I would accept the position, and l told him that if the tender was made to me unanimously 1 would, provided there were no legal complications in the way
 "On yesterday my attention was dl- rected to a section of the municipal code fr~n which it appears that l am dis qualified by reason of a bond transaction that the bank with which l am connected has with the city of Birmingham, and l am, therefore, constrained to decline the honor.
 oI desire to thank the council for their consideration, and remains yours very tvuly "W. P. G. IIARDING.'

 The speaker cited experience in various states to support his assertion that at present the majority of women have no desire for the ballot. Tn Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, Oregon" he said, 're- cent movements for woman suffrage have been defeated because of the opposition of the women. In at least Il other states similar defeats may be justly attributed to similar opposition. That women vote in states where they possess the suffrage proves only that they will conscientiously endeavor to fulfill any obligation which is imposed upon them. Mr Taft and MT. Hughes are both reported as saying tr thtv are in favor of woman suffrage when the women want it. So am l. So are the grest, majority of men. Whatever ills ,nIght come from woman suffrage would he insignificant compared with the ills which would come from great body of women discontented because they thought themselves denied a right by those who desire to keep them in subjec- tion.'

The amateurs strove for honor at the Gayety last nigth and succeeded in pro- ducing probably more laughs to the min ute than any comedy that ever played Tn Birmingham. While James McKilnie won first prize, Edgar Strauss, who bears the reputation of being the most daring artist in Birmingham, ultimately left the stage via the truck route Two jugglers tried many fancy stunts and were jerked off with hook. Another singer also left by the same route. There was also a chorus girls contest, several members of the Bowery Builesquers company competing. Manager McArdle announces another amateur contest for next Thursday night. A good wrestling match and battle royal will be put on.
