WILLIAM BoDIFoRD BURIED.
Death Comes to Veteran After PrOtract
ed IIlneaa

Greenville, Aug. 2.-(Special 1.-The
funeral of William Preston Bedford
took place here this morning at 10
o'clock. His death occurred yesterday
about o'clock. after a long spell of
illness. For many years he has been
an invalid and his death was not IN
expected. Ee was a veteran of the
Civil War, being So years old. He
was a member of the Meth odist church,
and the funeral services were conduct
ed by his pastor, Rev. w. o. Wag-
gener. at the Magnolia Cemetery.
In a forceful sermon last night, en-
titled Hedges Rev. DR.. w. o.
Waggener, pastor of the Methodist
Church. opened the campaign in favor
of prohibition and compulsory educa-
ton.
In thunder storm that occurred last
Thursday, the negro Methodist church
was struck by lightning and part of
the front was torn down. The build
ing was not set on fre. About two
years ago the Baptist church was
struck and being out of the fire linn
it's. was burned down. The negroes
think that there is a hoo-doo against
them. The lightning did considerable
damage to the light and power plant
at the same time and also put the tele-
phone people to some little trouble.

GIRL HOLDS MAD DOG
AFTER BEING BITTEN

Guntersvilie. Aug. 2.-(SpeciaD-
Yesterday a vicious dog, thought to
De mad. attacked Miss Pearl Buchanan,
14-year-old daughter of C. G. Buchan-
an. of Cross Roads. near here. and
frightfully lacerated both forearms.
The dog attacked the girl without
provocation, knocked her down and
bit one forearm severely, when she
fought the brute on and attempted to
run. He attacked her again and bit
the other forearm. also decorating 1t
fearfully.
The girl then seized the dog by the
throat and ear and held him until
her uncle found an axe, and. returning,
to her aid. chopped the dogs head on.
The young lady held on to the dog
with great heroism, shouting to her
friends that she had been bitten and
that she would hold on to the dog to
prevent his escape. The dogs head
was brought to town and packed In ice,
and was sent to Montgomery on the
same train that carried the brave girl
to the Pasteur institute.

WANTED LONGER TERMS
FOR COURT CONTEMPT

II was case OF a lawyers dispute,
when the bill OF Senator Reese. to
1engthen the term of imprisonment for
contempt of court. from ave to thirty
days. came up for final passage In the
Senate yesterday morning,
1t was lost, or tabled. which amounts
to the same thing. by vote of IL to 10.
Senator Reese applied his thirty days
term TO Circuit Court Judges alone, de-
claring that he exempted the County
Courts purposely. In defense Of his
bill. he cited instances of fragrant con-
tempt OF court which, he said, were not
safhciently punished by a ave day
term of imprisonment. For the up
holding of the majesty of the law and

Pettus County Opposition Develops
In the State.
senator moody WIN be one Of the se.-
ate Leaders in oppesit,en
to the New
County.

Strenuous opposition to the forma-
zion Of Pettus county developed In the
Senate during its Monday morning ses-
sion, when Senator Moody, OF Tusca-
1oosa, presented q memorial drafted by
q unanimous vote of a mass meeting
Of Tuscaloosa county citizens. protest.
ing vigorously against the passage Of
the House blu, providing for the new
county.
Tuscaloosa county. by the provisions
of the bill. will be radically affected,
as the boundaries of the proposed ter
ritory. digs deep into the present Tus-
ca1oosa county line.
The mass meeting from which the
memorial sprung, was held at Tusca-
loosa and not a resident of the county
present, favored the formation of the
new county.
The memorial was read to the Sem
ate The Tuscaloosa county petition.
ers recited that the bill creating Pet
tus county, proposes to take away a
large territory from Tuscaloosa coun-
~, a territory which has been a por-
tion Of Tuscaloosa county, since the
admission of Alabama into the union.
The portion which the new county
will take has lately developed into the
richest of Tuscaloosa domain, by vir-
tue OF the opening of the mines of
coal and iron therein. the petition de-
ciared IT stated that the rich section
was connected with the county seat
by two railroads and by the most mod.
ern Of public highways. and was thus
essentially q part Of Tuscaloosa coun-
ty. being easily accessible. 1t pointed
10 the fact that the inter-urban cleo
tric lines between Birmingham and
Tuscaloosa. would render the portion
even closer in touch with the county
seat.
1t showed that at the last election
for the creation Of Pettus county, the
citizens of Tuscaloosa declared, by q
tremendous majority. against the for
nation of the new county. as did Bfr-
ningham, showing the sense of the
residents. who will be vitality affected.
BY virtue of the protests Of his con-
stituents, Senator Moody will likely be
one Of the Senate leaders against the
bill for the creation Of Pettus coun-

GIVES RAILROADS
RIGHT TO CONDEMN

BY the terms Of Senator Milier's bill
which passed the Senate yesterday,
railroads are given the right to con-
denim, for their use. rights of way
through private property. The bill
amends Section 34S7 of the code. which
prohibits the construction Of rights OF
way through the yard or curtilage Of
any dwelling house. barn. stable, etc,
without the consent of the owner of
the property.
The amendment excerpts railroad
companies from the prohibition, and
thus awards them the right to con-
denim, II necessary, strip Of land for
their rights of way. The old State
code contained such a provision but the
new code eliminated it. BY the pas
sage of the Miller bill, the right 10 re-
stored.
The bill was passed by q unanimous
vote of the Senate. "a favoring 1t and

Atlanta. Aug. 1.-The House today
killed a bill to insert an income tax in
a tax of one-tenth of / per cent on all
gross incomes over $4,000 which was
equivalent to 81 per $1,000 straight tax.
The vote was rs to 55. 1t was killed
because many believed that 1t was I'M
constitutional. The resolution to
amend the Federal Constitution so as
to permit an income tax will come up
