MARIN SESSION OF
| REPUBLICAN J IS
LIKELY TONIGHT
-
Regulars and New Idea May Ex-
change T~reachery Charge at
I CountyC COMMITTEES Meeting.

Interesting developments are easily
possible at the meeting of the Repu5li-
can County Committee tonight. New
Idea people and Regulars have both
been charging treachery, the former
on account of the defeat of Senator
Colby and william Fellowes Morgan,
and the latter because of the downfall
of Frank ]. Book. If the New Idea
men max charges the Regulars will
atetort. Both sides have prepared fig
1lres to support allegations of slash
ing.
= But all the New Idea men do not lay
the defeat OF Morgan to treaqhery. AS
senlblyman William p. Martin, in a
talk this week. said;
There must be something else to
ccoun for Morgan's defeat, and
think it was the liquor question"
He believes the people want liberal
management of excise matters, and
that they desired so to express their
Sentiment in the shrievalty vote.
h 1.-The election" said a prominent Reg
-nlar, was only an exhibition by the
people of the independence that Sell
ator Colby advised, and which he and
his followers practised two years ago,
and again this year In the mayoralty
fight. They wanted independence or
the part Of the voters and they got it.
II, as a leader, am willing to swear
to it, that we received no orders, nor
AMI intimation from County Chairman
ipa1rymple to cut the New Idea men on
the ticket. AS a matter of fact, before
the election, when workers said they
would not vote for Colby or Morgan,
Mr.. Dalrymple deprecated any attempt
at slashing, and told them to work for
the whole ticket.
Counter Charges Ready.
"If the New Idea people make any
charges tonight they will get a dose in
return that will make them sit up and
take notice."
Little progress has been made by
those Regulars who are willing to see
some other man than Mr., Dalrymple
the chairman. The election will take
place at the December meeting, a
month hence. So far the anti-Dalrym-
pie Regulars have been unable to set
Ale on a candidate, although many have
been approached. They will not sap
port an out-and- out New Idea man and
the New Idea people will not back an
out-and-out Regular.
y In the meantime Mr.. Dalrymp1e has
been gaining strength and his friends
and himself express themselves as con-
fdent that he will be reelected. Sec
Rotary John R. Flavell is one of his
strongest supporters.
"Mr. Dalrymple took the place" said
Mr.. Flavell, "at a time when the AS
sembly. the county and the city had
beer lost. He succeeded in rebuilding
the party in the county otter rescuins

formatory in Railway should be placed
in the classified list and, therefore, sub

examination, Secretary Gardner Colby,
of the commission, has issued a state
ment on the subject, in which he de-
MES that there has been a controversy
with the governor over the matter. The
governor, ex-officio, is a member of the
board of managers of the institution
and will have considerable to say con-
corning the selection of a man for the
place.
In the statement Mr.. Colby says:
Under the civil service law, the SUI
State would naturally fall within the
classified service, unless he was ex-
pressly excluded therefrom by section
eleven of the CHI service law. The
only paragraphs in this section which
might by definition place a superin-
tendent in the unclassified service are
those relating first to 'all heads of de-
partments of the State government
and, secondly, that paragraph reading
in part as follows:

instructors in the public schools and

bwere made with those of other States,

BHtleY County Roads
 M Need 0f Attention
BY J. B. STANLEY.

Greenville. April 2.-(Special. .)-The great need of this, one of the best eoun- ties in the state, is good roads Some years ago by special act of the legisla- ture, the county was authorized to is- sue $20OO00 worth of good roads bonds. The people rose up en masse and de- manded that the bonds be not sold So persistent were they, especially from the rural districts, that the bonds were not sold, and, the next legislature repealed the bill
 It seemed then as If the people did not want good roads at the expense of a bond issue, which would require an ad- ditional tax That was a number of years ago. They would not now, we imagine, oppose bond issue, or a spe- cial tax. They see the great need of good roads and the fear of little extra tax has about disappeared. The roads in Butler are about bad as they can well be- considering that the majority of the land is of clay and sand. and only in the low swamps and branches the roads get nearly impossible. Practically nothing Is being done to better the road conditions Everyone with whom we have talked admits that there should be better road laws, or that something should be done to make the roads in Butler better.

ENDEAVOR UNION
 CLOSES SESSION
RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS TO GADSDEN PEOPLE AND INSTITU- TONS ARE ADOPTED-REV. FL LOTT DELIVERS ADDRESS.

Gadsden. April 12-(Special.) )-Afeer having been in session for three days, the 18th annual convention of the Ala bama Christian Endeavors' union ad- 1ourned here at 9:30 o'clock tonight. Officers and delegates declare that the convention was one of the most en- tn usiastic and beneficial that has ever been held.
 Tonight a resolution was drawn up and adopted extending the thanks of tbe officials and delegates to the pee ple of Gadsden for the courtesies shown, to Rev. William E. HaN, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of this city, for the interest he and his church took In the convention and tn @ many kindnesses shown, and to tho press of the city and all who in any way lent their aid to the convention.
 Rev. E. W. Elliott of Selma delivered the closing address. He spoke on the power of Jesus. and for more than half sn hour held the undivided attention CT the delegates and vast audience which had gathered at the church. He 5poke on the great events in the life Of Christ which showed Him to be a nan of more power than any other mortal. One of the greatest and strongest assertions ever made by man. and one which was never made before or since, was that in which Christ showed that the world and all things shall pass away, but that His word shall live forever. The truth of this statement is even now evident, for tn e men who heard the declaration. in a dark age and a far-away country, have passed away, but the words spoken by the Savior still live, and shall live 5 long as time itself.
 The speaker concluded his address by stating that there is every evidence that the soul Is immortal and that there IS life beyond the tomb He also asserted that Christ will again appear upon the earth, and shall rule over His Kingdom. His closing conservation fol- lowed the address.
 At this service testimonials were heard from 20 representatives Of Chris tial Endeavor societies from almost as many cities in every part of the state. In every instance the delegates making the testimonial, pledged ther,- selves to return home and work in their society with renewed vigor.

Yesterday morning Hon w. J. Jones, a member of the legislature, who lives in the western part of the county. was in the city and he said; "I would come to Greenville oftener but the roads be- tween here and Butler Springs my home. are so bad that l never come unless com pelled to do so."
 Everyone wants better roads but none seems to know exactly how to remedy the evil. The county commissioners are enthusiastic bridge builders, and have, during the past few years, had num- Der of steel and concrete bridges built over the various streams. This they pro- pose to continue doing, as several more will be erected in the near future. They have not otherwise spent any of the coun- ty money for working the roads. As soon as all the bridges are built, or before If they have the money in the treas ury, they will spend it on the roads, for Butler has a good set of commissioners. and all see the necessity of having better | roads.
 Hon. A. E. Gamble seems to be taking more interest in the matter of good roads than any other one or the citizens of the county, and he has a scheme which he is elaborating, and will endeavor to get the commissioners to adopt. Your correspondent will give you the details of his plan in another letter in day or l two.
