LIE LONG FAVORS
 MAJORITY PLAN Writes Letter to Chairman
 Frank s. White PRESENTS HIS REASONS Thinks Plurality Plan Will Make It Possible For Man To Be Nom-
 mated Governor By Too
 Small Vote.
PRESENTS HIS REASONS

J. Lee Long, who managed the success full campaign against the prohibition amendment to the constitution believes that the state executive committee. at It's meeting January "A, 1910, should adopt the majority plan for the state primary next year.
 MT. Long has written the following let ter to Capt Frank s. White chairman of the committed:
 Greenvile, Ala, December 23, 1909. Hon. Frank S. White. Chairman State
 Democratic Executive Committee, Bir
 mingham Ala.
 My Dear Sir The people of Alabama have just passed through a political cam paign, probably the most bitter in our states history. Unfortunately, by the fs- sues presented, our churches have been divided family ties have been rent asun- der and many friends have become es- tranged. We are now entering upon a campaign for the nomination of state and county officers. Four gentlemen have already announced their candidacy for governor and eight or ten distinguished citizens have been prominently discussed in connection with this high office It is the duty and should be the pleasure of every patriotic citizen to lend his efforts to the adoption of some plan by which every candidates interest will be abso- lutely protected and at the same time by which majority of the party will be en- abled to select the candidate or candidates of their choice. In order that this may be done, as a citizen of the state I beg to suggest to you and the state committee that when you meet on the 94th of Jan uary for the purpose of ordering a state primary, you consider the following plan, viz: ! That the primary be open to all demo- crats who desire to become candidates for governor and for other state offices And that majority plan be adopted-that is to say, where there are more than two candidates for any office, no candidate shall be declared the nominee of the party unless he shall obtain a majority of the votes boiled in said primary.
 If none should obtain such majority, then let your committee order a second Urinary. in which the two highest candi- dates should run. Thereby securing to the people of the state a nominee who shall have received a majority of the votes boiled.
 With twelve or fifteen candidates run ming for governor. under a plurality plan, a candidate receiving as few as 12,00o votes might be declared the nominee. With the second primary the candidate getting the nomination would be the choice of a majority of the party. And 1t seems to me that if this plan Is adopt ed. all of the bitterness which was en- gendered by the recent campaign and election in Alabama would be entirely eliminated, and the good feeling and good fellowship which has existed in our party would be restored. Yours very truly,
 J. LEE LONG.

SHOOTING FOLLOWS DISPUTE OVER POOL H. |. Martin Is Shot By Luther
 A. Smith CONDITION IS PRECARl0US Young Men Were Good Friends Up to Few Minutes Before the
 Difficulty - Smith
 Surrenders.

AS the result of a dispute over a game of pool H. L. Martin. a young man about 19 years old, was shot and prob ably fatally wounded yesterday morn- ing by Luther A. Smith, an 1S-year-old boy in the Terminal pool room on Twen- ty-sixth street near the Terminal. It was reported at the Copeland Solomon infirmary last night that Martins con- dition was precarious, although the at- tending physicians state that there is a bare chance for the young mans recov- cry.
 Thirty minutes before the shooting oc- cured Martin and Smith were the best of friends, it seems. It is understood that they were playing pool when a dispute arose about the score, and 1t is said that Martin charged Smith with having taken one of the balls from the table. A fisticuff followed, but the men were separated and Smith left the place but returned later and was followed by Martin as he passed through the pool room. The two men went out into the alley in the rear of the place and the shooting followed.
 Smith charges that Martin grasped him and threatened to do him vio- lence. He says Martin made move to hit him, whereupon he drew .32 caliber Colts pistol and fired three times in quick succession. One bullet penetrated Martins abdomen and liver, one entered the left thigh and the third took ef- feet in the left side of the breast.
 Immediately after the shooting Smith went to the county jail and surrendered to Warden E. l.. Newman. Lige Loy's ambulance was hurriedly summoned and Martin was rushed to the infirmary, where he was operated upon.
 Both of the young men are well known about the Terminal station. Martin was employed as tower watchman at the sta ton. It is understood that Smith for merly worked at the same place. s. l.. Smith, the father of the young man who did the shooting, is a passenger con- ductor on the Frisco railroad. Martins father is in the concrete business near Tuscaloosa.
