HOLLAND TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER

Culman, September 4-(Special.)-The
 county officers at the courthouse are preparing for the term of the circuit court which meets here September 19. The venire of jurymen has been selected and summoned, and everything Is being put in readiness, so that when the court meets there will be nothing to do but to transact the business as fast as possible. This will be a very busy term of the court. The famous Holland case for the murder of H. D. Putnam at Hanceville three years ago. will be again tried at this term of the court. Holland was sentenced to be hung here at special term of the circuit court held in Au- gust, 1908. The case was reversed on a technicality of the law. The matter went over, passing two terms of court since that time. for the reason that some of the witnesses could not be found. The whereabouts of all the witnesses have been ascertained, and the case will be disposed of at this term of the court
 Sentiment at the time of the murder was strong against Holland, but now this has passed off in a measure and Holland has the sympathy of many people.

Springville, September 14.-(Special.)- Isaac Glover, the negro who shot and in- stantly killed Captain John Terry, prominent Springyille planter, last Sun day morning, was captured by posse of 50 armed men four miles southwest of here and his body riddled with bullets about o'clock tonight. The posse with a pack of bloodhounds from Gadsden had been trailing the negro since 1 oclosk today. s.se-s
 The negro wounded two men from anl- bush before he was killed by the fire of the posse. The wounded are George Crawford, shot in the left arm, and Olin McClendon, shot in the left shoulder. They were given medical attention and the wounds are not considered serious
 John Jordan, coored, came to town this morning with the message that the negro who had killed Captain Terry had been seen at the house of relative John Newsome, and had asked for something to eat. He also asked his relative if the man he had shot Sunday morning had died
 When Jordan told his story a tele- phone message was immediately sent to Chief of Police OBrannon of Gadsden and Deputy Sheriffs Jarard, Huffman and BeIlenger of Alabama City. They secured a pack of four dogs and hurried to Sprngville in an automobile The dogs were taken to the place where Glover had been seen and started the trail at o'clock
 All the afternoon the chase was hotly pressed the armed and determined men keping close behind the dogs until about o'clock this evening when the dogs ran on to the negro in a clump of bushes on the steep mountain side. The dogs im- mediately attacked the negro, but he kicked them away and commenced firing upon the posse. The men returned the fire and the negro dropped dead in his tracks. He was armed with shotgun and a revolver. It is considered remark able that more were not injured by the negros volleys from ambush.
 Glover is thought to have been the negro who a few weeks ago seriously wounded Deputy Sheriff Venable of Tal- 1adega. No motive has been found yet for his shooting Captain Terry while the latter was walking through his cotton field last Sunday It Is supposed that the negro thought Captain Terry was an of ficer and was about to arrest him.

WEEv|L ID MEET
 WARM RECEPTION Alabama Will Profit By Oth-

 Injuries Received in
 Cotton Gin
MAD DOG EXCITEMENT

Montgomery, September 14.-(Special.)- and Is thinking that Alabama is going to sit supinely down and let him have his own way with the cotton bolls of this state, he is reckoning without good judgment. The fact Is the bug is going to receive as warm a reception In this commonwealth as 1t ever had anywhere. probably much warmer. This state has the experiences of others to go by and make use of. to which Is being added a great deal of original activity.
 Just here, Dr. w. E. Hinds. who knows the habits of the pests from long observa- ton, and is now professor at Auburn, has been ordered to Mobile county. where the weevil has been found, and will meet government experts Friday of this week to go carefully over the situation. Quar- antine Is being enforced against infected men who know the bug we'll have little faith in his movement in seed. He wings it along and fast. at that" says a man who knows, "and that Is the way he gets there"
 From line said to be the weevil sec tion in Mississippi last year. to where 1t Is now, the distance Is almost 100 miles. It Is thus shown that the march of prog ress for the past 12 months has been rapid. It is not expected, however, that the bug will cross the Alabama river lower down than Washington county, as there is not great deal of cotton raised in that part. Going north. where the cot ton is thick, crossing will likely be made about midway of Washington, and If this Is so the weevil will get well into the state next year. 1t Is thought.
 Dr. Hinds, who is working under the direction of the commissioner of agri- culture, will make a thorough study of the situation in Mobile county. going over the ground with the government men and taking into count every detail. He hopes to find some means to check the move- ment so that the damages can be held down to a low level. Discoura ging as things have been in handling the pest. entomologists have not given up hope that an effective means of heading 1t off will yet be found
