LORD DEclES GOOD SUBJECT
FOR THE ANANiAS CLUB

Lord Decies, who was recently on
Jekyl island with his bride, formerly
Vivien Gould, is a good subject for
the Ananias club, at least that is
what those local citizens think who
watched his young girlwife puff a
cigarette in their private car the day
they arrived in Brunswick
Just before leaving New York for
Egypt the lord gave out an interview
in which ne stated that the article
sent out from this city was erroneous,
that his wife had never smoked and
he regretted that such report had
been sent out. AS matter of fact.
while it does not make very much
difference to the general public, two
or three dozen people of Brunswick
saw her seated in the window putting
on the cigarette as if it was no novelty
to her. The New York Times of Feb
IS contained the following
In talk with a Times reporter
Lord Decies said he had enjoyed his
visit to the United States very much,
and wished to thank every one hearth
ly for the courtesy with which he had
been treated
There is just one thing that
should like the New York Times to
correct, and that is the report tele-
graphed from Brunswick stating that
Lady Decies smoked a cigarette in
front of the crowd. This is absolutely
untrue Lady Decies has never smok-
ed in her life, and doesn't know how,
[ have no objection to ladies smoking
if they wish TO do Sn >"

SECOND SHAKEUP
 IN MONTGOMERY Letcher Succeeds Stolen werck on Commission CHANGE WITHIN HOUR Stollenwerck Resigns, Giving Pres- sure of Business as His Reason,
 Though Rumor Suggests
 Disagreement
CHANGE WITHIN HOUR

Montgomery, May 13.-(Special 1.-The seccnd great surprise which the citizens of Montgomery have had thrust upon them under commission form of gov ernment came this afternoon like bolt from a cloud when Frank Stollenwerck' the unanimous choice of all voters for one of the offices, resigned from the com mission to return to his banking pur- suits.
 Simultaneously with the announcement of his resignation came the appointment of J. T. Letcher, a well-known attorney of Montgomery, and former alderman. as his successor. The official transfer of office took place within an hours time, absolutely without a hitch. and as smoothly as if run by the best oiled ma chinery. Before more than a dozen cit izens were aware of any change what ever the transfer had been made, MT. stolenwerck was out of the office and MT. Letcher had donned the robes
 The retirement of MT. Stollenwerck from the commission Is announced as the outgrowth of the accumulat tion of personal business matters which must be looked after. The retiring official is one of the wealthiest of Montgomery citizens and has extensive business in- terests, besides being vice president of the First National bank of Montgomery.
 His desire to look after these interests and his inability to do so with the mu- nicipal duties, is believed as conse- quence to be entirely responsible for the xrh a been in circulation for some time have had It that he was unable to agree with the majority of the commissioners on a number of the important questions that have already been brought to the atSn- tion of the body. Many are of the opin- ion that this friction may have hastened the step. MT Letcher, the new commits sioner, is one of the youngest men in the public life of the city. and Is a lawyer of marked ability. For several terms he represented his ward in the city council and by his fearlessness and aggressiveness won for himself deserved encomiums.
 Like Commissioner Walter R. Bras- sell MT. Letcher as an alderman of the city worked hard to destroy the alleged ring which has been controlling the city government for a number of years.
 It Is quite possible that MT. Letcher will be given the finance department of the city government, which Commissioner Stollenwerclx superintended Vote on this division will have to be taken at the next regular meeting.
 The delegation which tbis afternoon waited upon Governor O'Neal In the in- terest of MT. Letcher's appointment was unanimous in favor Of his appointment the delegation including Maj. w. w. Screws, pr. c. A. Thigpen, pr. B. J. Baldwin, Harry Danziger, W. E. Pitts r. G. Salter, John w. Durr, R. D. Quiz enberry, Ed q Watts and Frank P. Glass. the -fng business and profes- sional men of the city.

GREENVILLE FORMS
 COMMERCIAL CLUB

Greenville, May 13.-(Speeial.)- last night about % of the business men of the city met in the council chamber to dis cuss plans for the perfection of the or ganization of a Commercial club for Grecnville and Butler county. They meant business from the first, and went immediately to work. O.. A. Lane was elected temporary chairman. He called the meeting to order and it was then dis cussed whether such an organization was needed or not, and whether it should or should not be a permanent one. Steinhart made quite a lengthy address on the subject, giving brief review of Greenvilles needs and opportunities and making it clear that the necessity and demand for a commercial organization was very apparent. Mir. W. c. Coker also made an address on the same subject.
 The consensus of opinion being such, the organization was made a permanent one MT Lane called for nominations for pres ident and MT. R. A. Beeland was elected to that office by exclamation. When he had taken his seat he appointed a com mittee, consisting of A. Steinhart. chair man, and J. H. DunlSlin and O. A. Lane, as a committee on constitution and by la WIS. and also to submit names of persons to act as permanent secretary for the club This committee will have a meet ing on Monday night and will then get hard to work so that they may submit the result of their efforts to the organ ization at it's next meeting. No name as yet has been decided on, but it is probable that it will be called the Com mercial and Industrial club of Green vile
 On May 2 a mass meeting will be held at the opera house of the business mer of the county and there they will ad,pt the constitution and bylaws and talk over a secretary. There will be several sneak CTS present, among them bcing Bruce ,ssipedy, secretary of the Montgomery comhSeGcial club.
