ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
PEPPERMAN WILL TAKE CHARGE OF OFFICE.
Neeessitated By Death of Grand secre- tary H. c. weaver--Grand Mas ter R. T. Goodwyn Sends
 Out OHlcIal Letter.

Announcement to the Odd Fellows of Alabama that he would not appoint a successor to the late Grand Secretary H. c. Weaver, of Huntsville, who died on April 27. was made yesterday by Grand Master R. T. Goodwin. of Montgomery. in a circular letter to his brothers of the Grand Lodge. Instead of appointing any one to fill the va cancy 1t Is the opinion of the Grand Master that as only a few days remain now and the next meeting of the Grand Lodge, May 12, it might be better to complete the annual work of the Grand Secretary under his own supervision. Jacob Pepperman, of Montgomery, who has been in closer touch with the Grand Secretary's office perhaps than any other Odd Fellow, will be sent to Huntsville to look after that office. MT. Pepperman, 1t is explained by the Grand Master, Is not a candidate for the office. There are expected to be several candidates before the Grand Lodge for the office.
 The work of the Grand Secretary is onicially turned over to the Finance Committee, of which H. l.. Mckee is chairman, but the active duties will very probably be performed by Mir. Pepperman under the supervision of the Grand Master.
 The following notice of the untimely
 
 sent out yesterday by the. Grand Mas ter: & "To the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of
 of Alabama:
 During my term of office as Grand Master, the most painful duty I have been called upon to perform is to an- nounce officially to the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs of Alabama, the sudden death of Brother H. c. Weaver, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Ala bama.
 This sad event occurred late Mon- day afternoon on the 27th day of April while he was ascending the stairway to his office in the city of Huntsville.
 "A devoted brother has fallen frof the ranks, a faithful official has laid down the mantle of office.
 Tn his careful and exact work for Odd Fellowship. he has erected to his memory a monument of affection more lasting than one built of onyx and jas per and pearl. His consecration to the work of our fraternity will embaim his memory in the hearts of our entire membership. The Iossen we learn from the life of our departed brother Is ritual. The example he has builded for us will serve to inspire emulation in the hearts and lives of all true Odd Fellows.
 Let us cherish his memory and profit by his example.
 Yours fraternally,
 "R. T. Goodwin,
 Grand Master"

PARTY BALLOT FOR PRIMARY County Lists Closed Last
 Night. KEEN COMPETITION FEATURE Only Teasley for Collector Without
 Opposition. 7tsr For Each of More Important Places There are Three or More Cam didates--Beat ohces
 Sought
KEEN COMPETITION FEATURE

The political lists where is to be done the jousting for preferment with in Montgomery County were closed last night s4
 George W. Jones. Chairman of the County Democratic Executive Commit tee. announnd that no more entries could be made, and the contestants stand ready for the commencement of the final round of a battle that is in many respects one of the most spectac- ular that have ever been held in the county.
 Salient features are the fact that State Senator Charles B.. Teasley, can didate for the Tax Collectorship, fn- ishes the race with no opposition; that I. D. Collier and George Shackel- ford, who had publicly announced that they were candidates for the office of Treasurer. did not qualify and are not on the ticket; and that for every prin- cipal office affected by the election there'sis keen competition.
 For tax assessorship, for the treas urersB3p, for the Superintendency of Education there are three candidates each;' for the office of Coroner there are two.
 For the membership of the Board of Revenues for the Northern District there are five names on the ticket; for the Southeastern District there are two. Only in the Southwestern Dis- trict Is there but one candidate for a seat in the council of the county.
 It is notable. too, that in the con- test for beat offices the candidates are both numerous and active. Especially Is this true of the beats within the city of Montgomery, where thorough campaigning has been done. In more than one of the city precincts there are three candidates for one office and in nearly all instances there are at least two.
 County and State Tickets Used.
 The county ticket to be used Is ad- ditional to the State ticket. The coun- ty ticket will contain the names of candidates whose offices are strictly of the county. The State ticket. which will be used at the booths at the same time with the county ballot. will con-. tain the names of candidates in whom Montgomery County has only partial interest of possession

FORT PAYNE WON HIGH
 SCHOOL IN DeKALB
Hot Local Fight Is Ended by the Com-
 lninNi0n.


 After considerable de1lberation. the State High School Commission yester- day morning finally decided upon Fort Payne as the location of the DeKalh County High School. Fort Payne's hardest competitor was Collinsvl1le.
 It Is understood that the stalwarts who were fighting for the site at Col linsvllle are much disappointed at their loss. Delegations from that town made two or three trips to Montgom- cry In the interest of their applica- tion.
 Under the terms of Fort Payne's ap- plicatlon. they guarantee building to cost at least s12,5o0 with light and water perpetually. The State appro- prlation in thds as in all other County high sch ools is $2,000 annually.
 It is believed that several important announcements will result from con tinued sessions of the Commission this week.

SPECIALS FOR MONDAY.
VAUDEVILLE PERFORMANCES
 NETTED SUFFERERS $58.3O

The benefit performances given oy the vaudeville houses of the city Friday for relief of the Alabama storm sue- ferers netted $5s. 30. which amount has been added to the general fund.
 The sums realized by the different houses were as follows: Majestic. $29.9O Orpheum, $1S.S0; Crescent, $6.6O, and Theatorium, $4.50. It had been hoped that a much greater amount would be taken in, but the distraction in the form of the ball game. and the fact that the performances were given in the latter part of the week when many people had already witnessed the shows contributed materially to the disappointing result.
 The small receipts, however, do not detract from the praisewOrthiness of the undertaking. and the efforts of the actors of the city in organizing the benefit merit deep thanks.
