THREE KILLED BY
 LIGHTNING STROKE

Troy July 29.-News reached Troy late tonight that three persons, two white men and one negro, were struck by lightning this afternoon and killed several miles from here on the plantation of Levi K Powell, one of the wealthiest planters of Pike county.
 Powell and his tenants and workmen were engaged in the field when the storm broke They took refuge in a small farm house, the men leaving the mules hitched on the outside. During the storm light ming struck the house and Henry Carlisle and his 14-year-old son were killed. Jasper Ellis, a negro laborer, was also killed. MT. Powell, the landlord, and several negro workmen were so badly stunned that physicians are attending them to- night, and MT, Powell is still unconscious. Five of the 10 mules were killed by the lightning.

MONEY RETURNED
 AND ALL IS WELL

New Albany, Miss, July 2s.-Reeased from his pledge of secrecy, which court procedure during five years had failed to have him break, Dr. M. F. Rogers to- day told what he knew of the robbery of the local office of an express company of s5000 in 1904, was purged of the charge of contempt of court and the man &C., cused of the robbery, R. M. Daulton, an employe of the company at the time was acquitted. That it was the wife of Daulton who handed him a package containing, it is declared, the money alleged to have been stolen, with the request that 1t be re- turned to the express company, was de- clared by Rogers.
 After explaining that he had been ab- solved of his pledge, Dr. Rogers testi- fled:
 "Daulton came to me and asked that I go to his house, that his wife wanted to see me. 1 went and Mrs. Daulton handed me the package, exacting the promise that I should not reveal any names.
 q reported to the company's repre- sentative Investigating the robbery. He said the company wanted the money and would not prosecute. then gave him the package after he had promised that Daul- ton should not be prosecuted"
 pr. Rogers explained that 1t was the belief of the detective with whom he was acting in the interest of the express company that 1t was E. c. Marshall, the agent of the company, who had taken the money.
 After Dr. Rogers had told his story, attorneys for the defense argued that it was not admissible; that the state had not shown that the package contained any money and the court, deciding the
 hA defense ordered Q verdict of not guilty in the case of Daul- ton and withdrew his sentence of inn prisonment against pr. Rogers, imposed because of his refusal to testify.

STATE OFFICIALS
 ARE NOMINATED

Newport News, Va, July 29.-Placing themselves squarely on record as favor ing local option, with the counties and the cities as the unit instead of magisterial districts, as under the present law, the Virginia republicans today accepted the liquor situation as an issue in the guber- material campaign. After adopting plat form, of which this plank was the prin- cipal feature, and selecting a state ticket headed by William P. Kent of Wytheville, present American consul general to Guate- mala, the republicans adjourned thelr state convention sine die.
 The discussion of prohibition was pre- cipitated soon after the convention met by the reading of the plank as drafted by the resolution committee:
 we favor the general principle of local option, high license, rigid police protec- ton and a strict enforcement of the law
 Objection to this came instantaneously and emphatically from southwest Vlr- ginia. The plank as reported was de- clared to be meaningless and indicative of acouiesence In the existing law.
 AS a substitute. State Senator A. T. dn- coin offered the following:
 we favor the general principle of local option and that the counties and clues De a unit in all elections on the liquor ques- tion with rigid enforcement of the law.
 MT. Lincoln led the fight for its adop- tion, and was so conspicuously successful in urging his cause that after the substl- ute had been incorporated in the plat form by a vote of TOO to BIO, he was i'm mediately put forward as candidate for lieutenant governor Although slate had already been prepared. the leaders thought it wise to nominate him for the second place on the ticket, and no one opposed him.
 The ticket nominated:
 Governor, W. P. Kent of Wytheville.
 Lieutenant governor, State Senator A. T. Lincoln.
 Attorney general. c. A. Rivercomb.
 Treasurer, J. l.. Crupper.
 Secretary of the commonwealth, John B. Locke.
 Commissioner of agriculture, J. L. Rob inson.
 Superintendent of public instruction, F. P Brent.
 MT. Kent the nominee for governor IS A son of a former democratic lieutenant governor of Virginia. He was gold dem- ocrat until Bryan was nominated the first time. He is said to be man Of large means, a good stump speaker and one qualified to wage an active fight.

SUITS TO RECOVER
 LOSSES ON RACES

Council Bluffs, Ia., July 29.-Three ad- ditional suits in which men seek to re- cover the amounts of their losses by means of fake foot races, prize fights, horse races and wrestling matches were filed today in. the district court.

Ashley of Gadsden would receive the position. The appointment Is expected to be made at an early date. The settlement of the contest will create considerable interest In Alabama political circles, as 1t has been heralded a test case between the or ganization and the "outs,'' and would likely be indicative of future appointments in the state.

Montgomery Franchise
 Placed Or The Market

Montgomery, July 29.-The Advertiser prints the following:
 The future of baseball in Montgomery depends on the patronage that is given the game for the next two months,
 A called meeting of the directors of the Baseball association was held in the office of President Chambers yester- day evening for the purpose of considering q cash offer that has been made for the Montgomery franchise.
 There was a full meeting of the board. one or two of the Il directors being out of the city. The unanimous vote Of the meeting was to finish the present season and at the end of the baseball year, unless the attendance is very much larger than it has been for the past three months, to sell the franchise.
 Local people will be given the first op- portunity to buy the franchise in case the present company decides to sell, but if local people do not want It. then it will be sold to the city that has made the cash offer.
 The name of the city or parties making the offer was not given out but 1t Is sup posed to be Chattanooga. as that town is doing everything possible to get back in the Southern league.
 Some nine years ago the Chattanooga franchise of the then Southern league was transferred to Montgomery on ac- count of the poor attendance in Chatta- nooga At every meeting of the Southern league since then, Chattanooga has had representatives trying to get franchise. They were offered the Little Rock fran chise. but when their hand was called 1t was shown that they were bluffing. But if seems now that they are not satisfied with the South Atlantic berth, but want 10 get in the Southern and Class A ball.
 The directors of the local club say that the attendance this year is fully 25 per cent off from previous years, and that
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-07-30

they are tired of going down into their pockets to keep baseball going in Mont gomery.
 T made proposition to one of the rich est men in Montgomery and lover of baseball" said Vice President Bernard Frank last night. that if he would put up $l000 to help the game l would put up s300-and he has dollars where l have dimes. He declined the proposition, and that is just about the situation in Mont gomery They all want baseball but few are willing to put any money in it. All of us have put money in baseball year after year. until we are sick and tired of it because of the snon-appreciation of the Montgomery people"
 These were the sentiments of every member of the board of directors. Presi- dent Chambers has given his time and labor to the cause of baseball in Mont gomery without one cent of remunera- ton.
 Ed Greminger has right now the fastest team that ever represented Montgomery, and day by day the attendance has fallen off.
 It will be a hard blow to Montgomery if the franchise is lost. There is no Ques- ton as to the advantages of city with a league team. It Is one of the greatest advertising mediums in the world. From Maine to Mexico the name of Montgomery is printed In the daily newspapers of thou sands of towns every morning. For near ly 10 years Montgomery has been known all over the United States as one of the live members of the Southern league, and to drop out now would be long step backward.
 Some talk was made at the meeting yes- terday of buying a franchise In lower league than the Southern with smaller salary limit The people of Montgomery have had Class A ball for so long that they would not stand for anything else.
 And now 1t is up to the fans of Mont gomery, and especially to the business men, to say whether Montgomery shall continue to hold her place as one of the live towns of the Southern league or not.
