Rev. G. L. Yates Is Host At Banuuet
 To Zaracas.

Decatur May Special. )-The Rev. G. l.. Yates. pastor of the Central Bap- list church of New Decatur, gave a banquet tonight complimentary to the Baraca class of his church. There were 225 places. The toastmaster was Prem tis Blackwell, son of Mayor Blackwell of New Decatur. A number of timely toasts were responded to. The spacious dining room at the Tavern otel in New Decatur where the banquet was held presented a charming view with it's nu- merous brilliant electric lights reveal ing the long tables around which sat men to the number of 225. A local or- chestra, mostly members of the Ba- rarcas, furnished music for the occa- sion. It was one of the most enjoyable banquets given In the Decaturs in many day.
 This class of Baracas was organized only few weeks ago by the Rev. G. L. Yates and he made a promise then that when the number of members reached 200 he would give them ban quet. The membership has now reached 206 and the class is endeavor- ing to increase it's membership to 300.

Union Springs, May 7.-(Special. )-F'or the past three years the postoffice receipts at this place have shown substantial and gratifying increase over each pre- ceding year and are now close onto the amount necessary to entitle the town to free mail delivery.
 The automobile craze was slow to reach Union Springs or the people were slow to get onto 1t, but recently 1t has be- come epidemic here and as a result a number of handsome new autos have been ordered and are expected to arrive very soon. A new brick garage is being erected and is being rushed to completion to accommodate at least 12 new vehicles.
 Henry Harris, who was postmaster at this place for a number of years until 1906 has accepted the position of assist- and, which place was recently made va cant by the resignation on account of III health of Arch Hough.

W. L. HALSEY KILLS J. ROBERT JONES
 AT HUNTSVILLE The Men Were Old Scheol Mates and Best of
 Friends
CLERK A. D. M'1ONELL IS
 ALSO NORMALLY WOUNDED
Hasey Is Thought To Have Been In- sane-Had Been Under Treatment. All Parties Prominent In Bus
 mess and Society.

Huntsville May 7.-(Specal.)- .)-William
 L. Halsey, president of the Halsey
 Wholesale Grocery company, went insane
 this afternoon and shot and instantly
 killed his old schoolmate and life
 long friend, J. Robert Jones, a prominent
 insurance man. He then turned the pistol
 on his shipping clerk, A. D. McDowel,
 and shot him in the back. Mcdowell is
 in the hospital and will die, his bowels
 having been penetrated in several places
 There was only one eye witness to the
 tragedy besides the principals, and that
 was w. L. Halsey, Jr.. who was in the
 office. He has declined to make state
 ment.
 MT. Jones was shot through the head
 and through the heart. either of the
 wounds being capable of causing almost
 instant death. The tragedy occurred in
 the Halsey store on Jefferson street. Mir
 Jones had gone there to talk over busi-
 ness matters with the firm, and collect an amount due on an insurance policy He had expressed himself as being afraid of Halsey, and said he didn't like to go there, but that it must be done He and Mr Halsey were in the middle
 of the store, and other persons nearby could not hear what was said MT Hal sey pulled his pistol and opened fire, the first shot striking MT. Jones in the head The next shot penetrated the heart. Me Dowell telephoned uptown for an am- bulance and told of the tragedy, and a moment later he was shot. He ran out
 around the store and dropped down. suf- fering Intense agony. His physicians do not expect him to survive the night. Mcdowell is a young married man. Jones was the first exalted ruler of the Huntsville lodge of Ellzs. He was prom
 inent In business affairs and was an ac- tive church man.
 Halsey was placed under arrest by Deputy Erie Miller, who found him in his office acting as if nothing had occurred. He had been disarmed by his son. He was taken to jail and placed in the hos
 pital ward, and is now being guarded to prevent him from doing more harm. Those who have visited him in jail say that he does not realize what he has done.
 Members of his family state that MT. Halsey has been affected mentally for
 some time past, and that he had recently l been under treatment of an alienist of l New York. The tragedy created an inn l mense sensation, and because of the l prominence of the parties business was | almost suspended immediately after.

]. w. ROWLAND
 IS RELEASED
Was Charged With Murder of Stark Dane at Darlington Some
 Time Ago.

Russellville, May 7.-(Special)-J. w. Rowland, the Darlington railroad agent held in jail without bail, charged with the murder of Starke Daniels, has been released, no bill being found.
 It will be remembered that Rowland acting as agent at Darlington, had Daniel arrested for disturbing the peace and cursing in the presence of females. It Is said that Daniel was drunk, and was very boisterous at the depot and in the waiting room
 On the following day, and while Daniel was under bond, he is said to have sent word to Rowland that he would kill him on sight.
 Some hours afterward Rowland saw Daniel approaching the depot with a shot gun. He (Rowland) raised the window of his office and shot him to death
 Turning to his telegraph key he tele- graphed the sheriff that he had killed a man and would meet him on the road to Russellvile. He started afoot down the railroad track and met the sheriff on a handcar
 At the preliminary trial held two weeks after the killing Rowland was held with out bond
