TN GOOD HUMOR IN
 SPITE OF DEFEAT Gov. O'NeaPs Views on the Lauderdale Election TOM LONG ALSO TALKS Governor Was in Decatur Yesterday But Returned to Florence Last
 Night to Spend Few
 Days
TOM LONG ALSO TALKS
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS

Courtland, October 6.--(Special )-Gover- nor ONeal, Alex Walker and Tom l.. Long, who were participants in the late pnpleasantness in Lauderdale county. passed through this city today en route to Decatur The governor will return to Florence tonight, and will be in BirminG- ham about Wednesday of next week. Mr Lcng will go at once to Walker county and MT. Walker to Montgomery.
 None of the gentlemen were depressed as a result of the prohibition fight in Lau- derdale They appeared in the role of very good losers, and chatted in high good humor as if the day had found them victors.
 "It was a landslide stated the gov crnor .,However. the result brought little surprise to me. When reached Florence last Saturday I found the local option ists without organization. We got in the fisht at once and did what we could. believe, however, that we did some good for at first blush it appeared that the prohibitionists would win by a unanimous vote. They had thoroughly organized the county, and had done strenuous campaign ing for weeks. Every county and munici- pal official was arrayed against us, and we could not break the fortificatlon. How% ever, the fight is over. and there are no scars apparent The victors are reioic- ing. and while we cannot rejoice with them, we are not grieving at all
 Tom l.. Long then told his reason for the defeat of the local optionists. "Captain Uobs0n." he said, had preceded us in ho1 inf pH that liouor has a horrible effect on pear r. ees and dogs He proved his point by vast array of figures and by various de- c;sions of the supreme court. It was inn nc ssibe for US to make headway against tlis argument, and we remained on the ground, not in hope of winning, but to CT feet just as good compromise as pos s.ble The vctors wanted a majority or 400. and when they graciously permitted US to retain our side arms and our broken down steeds. we accepted.
 Tt was another case of the great hunter and squirrels The hunter went into the woods and the first squirrel that raised i,is ear out of his hollow fell to the ground with bullet in his neck. Very soon another brushed the air with his tail and he fell dead one. Then very wise old squirrel. raising white flag, ap- preached the hunter.
 ..'I have a very i'll wife said he, and my children are frightened to death. Just let me know how many squirrels you desire and will see that you get them
 "The hunter demanded Is more than he had at the time, and 13. after casting lots' volunteered. Then the hunter gathered up his game and returned home.
 Thus we made terms with the great hunter. Captain Hobson. Otherwise, he would have got them all
 The governor gave no appearance or De- ing deeply chagrined that the prohibition ists had carried out their threat to em- hs rrass him in his home county. $5.25-ATI.ANTA. GA.-$5.25 AND RETURN

Several persons, so the local authorities have learned. have forced truck farmers to- turn back, telling them that they were violating the interstate commerce laws in bringing their com modities into the city.
 This action has worked a hardship on both the Chattanooga consumers and the farmers themselves, and plan of action is being mapped out to convince the trucksters that they are not violating the law.

Y., has been awarded to Miss Otis David Thach of Auburn, for the year 1911-1912 This being the year for one of the fair daughters of Alabama to seize this coveted educational prize through the state division.

 this generous offer was first accepted and
 the scholarship established 1t was de- cided in the convention of 1908 at Atlan- ta, Ga. that the, scholarship was to be assigned to the state divisions, first in
 the order of their session and to other states in the order of their admission as states to the Union. South Carolina and Mississippi divi- sions each had the privileges of this scholarship at Teachers college, when in the course of events for reasons this
 scholarship at Teachers college came
 under criticism of the United Daughters
 of the Confectionery it was withdrawn. The United Daughters of the Confed- eracy, owning no other scholarship, the above committee on education with its active and alert chairman and vice chair
 man soon secured more. All scholarships
 owned or managed by the United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy are in the hands
 of this committee on education for
 awarding
 Four scholarships in leading institu- tions have been secured--Vassar, the Uni versity of North Carolina, Alabama Poly technic institute, and the Alabama uni yersity.
 It being Forida's time to benefit by
 these educational advantages last year. these four scholarships were filled by
 worthy girls and boys from that state.
 Three other institutions, Washington and
 Lee university, Lexington Va Lucy Cobb, Athens Ga, and the Sophia New
 combe at New Orleans have been added
 to the list. The Vassar being the highest
 grade scholarship owned, the living fund
 of s350 provided by the organization was
 given with this scholarship and therefore
 named the general United Daughters of
 the Confederacy scholarship. Only this
 one is now given to the states in their order, the others being competed for in general.

Decatur, October 6.-(Special.) )-The New Decatur postoffice situation is still puzzle to the people of New Decatur. William A.

the New Decatur postoffice was con solidated with the Decatur office and New Decatur became a sub-station, the New Decatur office has been in a mud dle. On the protest of many citizens the consolidation order was revoked soon after it was issued and the New Decatur office again established as a second class office and President Taft appointed William A. Warner post master and he was confirmed by the Senate. Then 1t was found by the de partment that only fourth class of fee could be established in New De- catur under the circumstances, so a fourth class office was established and William A. Warner was appointed fourth class postmaster of New De- catur. He made his bond some time ago. it was approved and he was sup posed to have taken charge of the office last Sunday, but no commission arrived. t *. a

 Warner was second class postmaster of New Decatur when the office was consolidated with Decatur. This office had number of rural routes and seN- eral city carriers Some time since the rural routes were transferred to De- catur. but the city carriers have con tinued New Decatur has population of SIS, according to the last United States census, and will be the largest city in the United States, it is said, with fourth class office.
 It is said that the postoffice sltua- tion in New Decatur is a unique one and that it does not have an equal in the history of the department at Washington. The President, Postmast- CT General, Attorney General and the comptroller of the treasury have all had the case before them for consider ation and for their opinion.
