Anniston, March Special. )-Pleas for harmony and reason in politics and an exercise of spirit of cooperation in business formed the substance of the ..eet -tosether'' meeting at the Call houn county courthouse last night, the Sobject of which was to 'bury the hatchet" with reference to the recent constitutional amendment election.
 owing to the fact that Mayor Wikle had to attend committee meeting and was late in arriving at the hall, H. P. salter, general agent for the Louis ville and Nashville railway in Annis- ton, presided at the meeting. intro ducing as the speakers c. D. Kline, w. F. Mccartney, H. M. Ayers and Ross Blackmon.
 Mr. Kline gave examples from his experience of the effects of "a house divided against itself" MT. McCart- ney pleaded for a broad gauged view of life, and Mir. Ayers spoke of the philosophy of laughter and cheerful ness in defeat.
 Ross Blackmon was the principal speaker making what was considered Tan exceptionally able speech. He pleaded with his hearers to 'bury the hatchet" for business reasons, denied that the meeting had been called for political purposes and urged his hear CTS to vote for the men whom they considered best qualified to fill given positions, regardless of their recent af- filiatfons, notwithstanding the fact that he was an ardent anti-amendist.

Mobile, March s.-Julius yenner, alias Alex Klein, alias Johansen, alias Peter sen, was positively identified here today as August Peterson, Russian Finn. who is alleged to have murdered his wife, Sophie Johansen, in West Ninety-fourth street tenement house on February last the place. The identification was made by Johnson. brother of the murdered woman. who arrived here this morning, accompanied by Police Sergeant Van Waganer of the New York police depart ment. Johnson. as soon as he saw the man of many aliases said that he was the man who committed the terrible crime. Johansen. or Petersen, as he says his real name is after the identification complete ly broke down and confessed to the crime. and expressed willingness to return with out acquisition papers.
 Johnson, when he went to the cell of the man and identified him, recognized the Finn at once and started for him. de- nouncing him as a scoundrel. saying that he would kill him if he was allowed.

lett that the meeting was move in the interest of Mallory and that Nal lory's election would be about as con- sistent as it would have been to elect Lord Cornwallis president after his sur render at York town, Mir. Blackmon cited Appomattox and said why would it not have been as consistent as Is the attitude of Judge Wiiiett for the Wearers of the blue to have forever debarred the wearers of the gray from national political offices citing Presi- dent Tafts appointment of southern democrats as an example to the con trary.
 Whether the meeting has any polit- lcal effect. or not it is believed thar there will be better relations existing between the two factions than hereto lore and spirit of o-operation for the best business interests of the city. as those present were very enthusiastic. Including the members of the Union club who were brought out by Presl- dent Frank Farley

 'I am not certain whether it was Feb- ruary or [, but about dark I returned home and knocked at the front door. No one answered Then I went to the rear door. After making me wait some time the door was unlocked and my wife asked me what was the trouble.
 The man went out the front door. Then found an empty whisky bottle and bottle with some beer in it. We quar- relied and I picked up a gas lighter and struck her on the side of the head. The blow killed her instantly.
 T became scared and did not know how to hide the body. Finally I decided to bury it under the fioor.'
 Petersen then told of tearing up the blanks and the difficulty he experienced in digging a hole large enough to admit the body of his murdered wife Then I left the place. he continued and know ing that the police were after me bought steamship ticket, and boarding a rail- road train came to Pensacola. was there but two days when I came 10 Mo- bile and made efforts to have the money refunded on the steamship ticket.

Thorsby, March 3.-(Special.) .)--The dairy interests of Thorsby are assuming pro- portions that class it among the impor- tant industries. Although of compara- lively recent origin, the cash receipts for the past year were upward of $500 per month.
 About 100 fine dairy cows are kept by dozen or more of the progressive farmers in Thorsby and vicinity. Many of these cows are registered Jerseys. Several thoroughbred registered sires are among the herds and much attention is given to improvement in general quality of the stock.
 Each of these farmers have one or more silos with which to provide succulent fod- der at all seasons. while their magnifi- cent and well ordered barns attract wide attention. Each dairy also has modern cream separator that with surprising ce- lerity deposit the rich globules in one re- ceptacle, while into another flows the skinned milk, which is chiefly used as feed for the growing calves or hogs. Nothing is wasted.

THATCHER TALKS TO-
 BESSEMER CROWD.
IN VIGOROUS LANGUAGE HE GIVES
 REASONS WHY JEFFERSON COUN- TY SHOULD IMPROVE ITS HIGH- WAYS-MAYOR SENDS NEW VETO

Bessemer March 3.-(Special.) )-Chares livered an address to small but select audience at the High school auditorium tonight. The speech was more a lecture than an address, and was as entertain ing as the most expensive affairs of the kind. MT. Thatcher interspersed his talk with personal experiences and gave de- scriptions of mountain scenery with pleasing vividness and beauty His own claim-"A good roads meeting is not a dry place'-was amply justified His speech was strong appeal for better roads in Jefferson county, in the state of Alabama and in the United States. Among the striking things he said were:
 ''The commercial wealth of commun- ity is measured by the condition of its highways
 Poor construction costs money with no returns. It is sending good money after bad to patch up roads that have no foundation"
 '''rhe lakes-to-the- gulf highway is not future proposition. Since the first move ment IS months ago there are hundreds of miles in construction and in 10 or 20 years it will be practically completed.
 "The county of Jefferson is wasting s4o,O00 a year on her chert roads. In the past two years enough has been spent to give the state of Alabama good high ways"
 Whisky has been voted out but the cause of intemperance remains. I believe in practical reforms for the people,
 ''Use convict labor It gives three times the returns with one-third of the ex- pense.'
 Marrow roads indicate narrow minds. Build broad roads,"
 Good roads increase land values four fold"
 In closing MT. Thatcher asked for million-dollar bond issue and also that the people elect officers who would not graft; that they procure practical engi- ners who know how to build roads. He suggested that 8 good roads club be formed tonight which was done. The officers elected were: J. S. Winters. pres- dent R. P. McTyiere, first vice presi- dent; T. ]. Batson second vice president: George E. Rutledge, secretary; w. g. Gilbert, first assistant secretary; G. J. Huffman, second assistant secretary.
 There will be another meeting next Tuesday night in the High school audi torum at which MT. Thatcher Will again make an address.
 Owing to his failure to arrive in time Mr. Thatcher did not speak to the school children as was intended nor hold an afternoon meeting. At the next gather ing he hopes to be able to do this and is assured of large audience. The Besse- mer band gave several numbers in the usual delightful style.

He recalls that the re- port has been current that the railroads get in the way of the boat lines and Keep them from service, thus getting out or the way competition that may bring down their rates.
 Tt is no use saying that boats cannot be operated on the Alabama because Of low water between here and Selma said the mayor. "The best companies last year would run boat to Selma and then wire Montgomery that the water was too low for the trip. But I know that at the same time the United States dredge would make the trip from Selma to Mont gomery and this dredge, when empty, draws six more inches of water than the river packets do when loaded
