 While the vote is smaller than that of the former election on the same s15o.0o0 issue. the majorities are heav- fer than were those of the January { election, which went awry because of a discrepancy in the form of the bal lots.
 This time. however. 1t Is assured that the election has transpired in perfect accordance with every legal provision The form of the ballots, as used yes- terday, Is copied from the model form as provided by the constitution.
 The first issue, which was authorized by the election of January {, was held invalid because the ballot did not set forth the character of the bonds. This time. however. the character" Is con cisely set forth. the ballot being as follows:
 For Cor against) s15o.OoO. ( 1-2 per centum, fifty year. public road and bridge bond issue"
 The Board of Revenue, meeting Sat urday will probably declare the result of the election, and advertise immedi- ately for bids on the bonds. The money, If realized. will be devoted to the extension of the $50 miles of im- proved road. and to keeping in repair the road already under construction. This repair work is sadly needed by the roads at present, for work of all kind has been suspended in view of financial stringency.

 in Favor of Issue. In the Country Precincts the Voter, Were Solid as Fsvoring s150ooo

By the lightest vote ever cast In a Montgomery County election of living memory. the 315o.000 bond issue for road work was endorsed yesterday and the Board of Revenue has thereby found Its way out of the woods of debt
 But If the bond election of yester- day broke all records for light votes in the County. 1t also estab iished a new record for big majorities. For re- turns from fourteen of the twenty three boxes of the county show that 326 votes were cast in favor of the bond issue and only fourteen votes against.
 In the country precincts the vote was solid in favor of the bond issue. not one of the boxes heard from outside of the city showing a dissenting vote. And within the city there was few who voted against 1t: Five In Beat 2, five at Chisolm. two in Beat {. one in Beat l, and one in Beat 3.
 The precincts from which no returns have been made as yet are those claim ing. normally. small vote, and it is assured that the returns. when made, will not affect the figures already com piled by any appreciable amount.

Brown of Birmingham, two of the three members appointed at the last annual conference to look into the advisabfl- ity of moving the Methodist orphan age from summerhsld to this place. have been here looking over the prop erty offered the Conference by J. b. Flowers of Dothan.
 This property is known as the But about half mile from the court house, and containing about thirty acres. It Is beautiful place and would make an ideal location for the orphsnage.
 MT. Flowers came with the commit teemen and took them over the prop erty and also & portion of the city.
 They were well pleased with the situation and at the meeting of the full committee which will be held in Selma April 7th. they will make their report and recommendations. It is thought that 1t will be a favorable re- port as to the GreenVille proposition.
 A. W. Smith. chairman of the com mittee, was prevented from attending by the death of his father at Birming- ham.
 A charming affair of the week was the entertainment given by MT. and Mrs. K. c. Thompson in honor of their cousin. Mss Bessie Reynolds of New Orleans. It was the first social func- tion since the marriage of Mir. and Mrs Thompson. who are very popular young people.

NOT BLOOD STAINS
SPOTS ON GALLAGER's OVERALLS
 MADE BY OIL.
Evidence Against the Negroes Held In the Venabie Murder Case is Grad ualiy Being Disproved and
 Releases May Follow.

Much of the evidence on which four negroes are held on suspicion of hay ing murdered w. k. Venable is being disproved, or Is being shown as groundless, and no further progress has been made by the officers who have been investigating the mystery.
 Overalls, which were proven the property of Bob Gallager, one of the suspects. were thought to hold blood stains, but it was found. upon exami- nation of the stains by City Chemist B. A. Taylor that they were not formed by blood.
 The blood stained clothing was held to be one of the most conclusive bits of evidence against Gallager. and 1t Is probable that his release, and that of the other suspects. sam Lawrence. Turner Jordan and Walter Hill, will come within a few days, unless further proof of their guilt is made out.
 That the stains upon the overalls of GallaEer were not those of blood is shown by the following letter to Sher- fir Hood. written by pr. Taylor. City Chemist;
 Hon. Horace Hood Sheriff Montgom-
 cry County:
 Dear Sir-A pair of overalls sent to me by you on Monday last with the request that the same be examined for blood stains, I beg to report as fol- lows:
 This is to certify that l have made a chemical and microscopical eXamina- ton of the stains on said overalls and And them to be a mixture of oil and brown earth.
 No traces of blood are to be found on any portion of the overalls.
 Yours very truly

SIS Clayton the fire had gained great heajway and the roof of the budding was wrecked before the blaze could be extinguished Other parts of the structure suffered The damage has not been estimated.
 small roof fire near the West End station was the cause of the second alarm. but the damage was trivial The roof of a negro cabin on South Union street caught next, but this swas extinguished before the fire spread. Later in the afternoon the Highland avenue men went to another blaze. but this. like most of the oth- CTS. was a small fire and was quickly extinguished.

PARKER CASE
 IS DELAYED Defendant Is Suddenly
 Stricken. NOW GOES INFO FIFTH DAY Two Arguments to Be Heard
 Today. The Prosecution Draws Largely Upon the Course of Shots and Hints Ut Premeditation On Defend-
 ants Part.

Because of a sudden indisposition on the part of the prisoner. which confin- ed him to his cell. the case of Ell Par ker. the alleged murderer of T. J.. Swearingen. was continued yesterday afternoon until this morning.
 It had been thought that the evil dence. the arguments and the charge of the court would have been in late last night, and that the jury would re- ceive the case, but the sudden illness of Parker broke off short the proceedings in the midst of the arguments of the defense.
 Evidence was all in by 3:30 yester- day afternoon. and the arguments of the attorneys began.
 Sheriff Hood was one of the wit nesses questioned on the stand yester- day. being called to relate the details of conversation had by him with Par ker while the latter was confined a prisoner in the jail. The conversation bore upon a previous assault made by Swearingen upon Parker.
 Parker himself was called to testi- fly, telling of the shooting in his own way. and declaring it was accomplished wholly in self-defense-that he shot only after threatening signs on the part of Swearingen.
 The prosecution. in its argument. hinted at inference of reconciliation of a murder of Swearingen, to be drawn from the evidence. and charged that others besides Parker possessed knowl- edge of an impending shooting ot Swearingen.
 The prosecution also drew largely upon the course of the shots which penetrated Swearingen's body. and which were described. by physiciaes, as ranging forward. from behind.
 The arguments on both sides are lengthy and comprehensive. every par ticle of the evidence as produced by the witnesses being recalled and gone over in full.
 Much of the defense's arguments dwelt on the good character which has
