LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mass Meeting nt BIocton
To the Editor of The Age-Herald;

TO the EuitOr or The Age-f1erdlui
 Whether they pass or no, Mir. Percy's ''anti-g garnishment bill"and MT. Morrows 8 "anti-trespass bill" have gained for the gentlemen a notriety throughout this community that is seldom the case in so short a time Not in the warmest days of the amendment campaign was mass meeting so unanimously attend ed and were opinions so sanguinely ex- pressed and the authors of these meas tres so vigorously condemned for their proposed partisan and undemocratic measures as that just held by the cit izens of Blocton and community. Mir. Percy's' proposed bill to the least ob- the outside merchant in that he would refuse to credit men, and eight-tenths of the business in the mineral district is a credit business and as a natural se- quence the credit would be extended only at the commissaries where 1t was known that the party had sufficient time in the office to justify the credit. MT. Morrow's bill is the more subtle of the two, for instead of protecting the dear old negro on some south Alabama farm it is in reality to prevent any man or merchant from delivering goods or talk ing orders on any corporations property and thereby force the men employed by corporations to trade at the commits saries. It's needless to say that the two laws together would bottle up in. a short time a great majority of the out side business people of the mineral sec | ton.
 I The second question asked is where would prices then go to in the commits saries with no competition. It was the sense of the mass meeting just held here that in the cause of humanity these bills should be checked to death before they pass the outer portals of the committees referred to in the house. Very truly.

Newn of nnx NIinette

Bay Minette, January 30.-(Special.)- The preliminary trial of the case of George w. Phillips vs. George A. Dean, Mrs. George A. Dean and Tom Dean was started this afternoon before Justice of the Peace D. c. Bryce. Phillips charges the Deans with plotting against him and with being the parties connected with an attempt to kill him while watering his horse in a branch near his home at Perdido some time ago. : A large num- Der of witnesses both for the state and for the defense are in town today. The case appears to have grown from the fact that the two families have not been getting along as friendly as they might be and from the testimony 1t would ap- pear that the entire neighborhood was at swords ends.

Treasury Fund Law

It developed at that time, however that the fund in the treasury had fallen considerably below that figure, and as the whole warrant had to be drawn at
 once there was nothing to do but wait
 until the treasury could come to the scratch.
 How soon this happy state will bt reached depends upon the rapidity wit which the tax collectors over the state send in their remittances. The indica- tions are, however, that 1t will be the latter part of next week before the money is all there, and, that being the case, it will be almost impossible to get out the checks until the first of the week following.
 And in the meantime, as stated, vet erans everywhere almost feel like going to war again on account of the delay They are writing cards telling how they reed the money most just at this time oi the year because of the cold weather and they want it badly. From present indications they can easily count on hay ing the money in their hands by Febru- ary 10, if not day or two earlier Ready for World Trip A rowing evangelist whose territory is the world and who covers it pretty thoroughly, is now in Atlanta getting ready for his fourth journey around the globe.
 Rev. Dr. w. B. Godby, who has seen his three score years and ten, holds a commission from Bishop McTyiere of the Methodist church, Kentucky, un- der which he is authorized to conduct Methodist evangelistic meetings all over the world.
 Dr. Godbey Is a unique character. He has been around the world on three evangelizing trips already, covering 30 900 miles on each trip at total ex- pense of 5000, or less, and taking ap- proximately a year for each trip. He takes different route each time, cov- ering different cities and delivering lectures and holding meetings in each place at which he stops.
 Dr. Godbey is the author of II re- ligious books. He is an interesting talker about his travels and his heart Is in the work, in which he says he proposes to continue until the day of his death, or until the time comes when he can no longer leave his bed.

VETERANS ANXIOUS
 ID RECEIVE MONEY
Georgia Pension Fund Is Not
 Distributed
ROLLS ARE HELD BACK
Misunderstanding Has Occurred Be- tween Governor Brown and the Pension Commissioner Over
 Date of Payment

Atlanta, January 30.-(Special.) )-Confed- crate veterans, not only in Atlanta. but all over the state, are no little put out as the result of the delay in the distri- hutton of the pension fund, the result, it seems, of a misunderstanding between the governor and the pension commls- sioner as to just when the pension rolls would be ready for the drawing of the warrant
 When it was announced that Governor Brown was ready to draw his warrant on January F for the total pension fund, many of the veterans interpreted this as the announcement of the day for pay ment and called at the office of the ordinary. Some of them here in Atlanta went up to the capitol to see about it. They soon found out their error-that the governors readiness did not mean the day of payment was at hand
 When the governor made this announce ment Pension Commissioner J. w. Lind- sey, said, in effect, the former was too previous; that he could not possibly get ready to pay pensions before February 1, and possibly not for several days there after.
 Thereupon Governor Brown, knowing the teachers of the state were waiting for their money, and being satisfied that the treasury would be recouped by the time Captain Lindsey got ready for pen sion payments, drew a warrant for some $100,0o0 in favor of the teachers.
 In the meantime Captain Lindsey had gotten busy and had things in shape nearly week earlier than he thought he would. On Thursday, January 26, he an- rounced he had completed his part of the orlx and reported to the governor that he was ready for the pension check for al S1 III h24

QUERY AFFECTS
MRS. STANNARD
Continued from Page one.

instead of going down into the cellar
after breakfast for some beer, as she
had testified at the inquest, the trip to
the cellar occurred before breakfast.
Going over the testimony, question
by question, and answer, Attorney
O'Brien led the girl 10 recount every
thing that had occurred on that fatal
morning. He showed the witness a
cup and asked her II 1t was the one
| from which Stannard drank the last
cup OF coffee
She said the cup i'm the lawyers
hand was not the one that Stannard
had used but that it was cup about
the same size.
"Did YOU ever see Stannard drunk
and abusive" asked Attorney o'Brien.
Yes" said Dolly.
"Dld Mr.. and Mrs. Stannard get
along all right?"
mot always but they were pleasant
people to work for"
Yesterdays Hearing.
The cross examination of Grace
Hammes was started by Attorney
n. II. OBrien for the defense yester-
day afternoon. the questions being con-
fined principally to the inquest.
The direct examination by Attorney
Burritt brought out practically the
same story as that given by the Ham
mes girl at the second hearing of the
inquest. The witness testified that
Stannard became i'll after drinking his
morning coffee on the day of his death.
March 26, and she described his con-
vusions and vomiting spells and the
fact that he was crying when he went
to his room and that Mrs. Stannard
said:
Let the damn fool cry"
The witness testified that Mr.. Stan
nard had refused to take a drink of
water from his wife, while he was sick
saying. There is poison i'm it," but
later took the same water from Sam
uel Gourd, a neighbor, who is also eN-
pected to prove an important wit
ness.
Tilt Between Lawyers.
The first tilt between the attorneys
for the prosecution and defense oc-
Cured yesterday morning, Attorney
o'Brien raising the contention that the
questioning was contrary
TO res iuste He asserted that the
should first prove that the
man was dead, then that he was dead
from strychnine poisoning and third
that IL had been administered with
criminal intent. This point was again
raised early in the afternoon session
and Judge Flanagan finally ruled that
anv reference to poison made by Mr..
Stannard and not in the presence of
Mrs. Stannard would not be admitted,
but that he would admit testimony Of
fered to show Mr.. STANDARDS physical
condition.
The defendant was visibly affected
during the scathing arraignment by
Attorney Burrtt for the prosecution t
the opening of the morning session. Mr..
Burritt repeated pointing his finger at
Mrs. Stannard, his attitude and his
having a very depressing eff
feet and causing her to sob aloud. The
court then requested Mr.. Burritt to
suspend his remarks until she could
regain her composure. AS all other
witnesses were excused from the court
room by Judge Flanagan at the morn
ing session, the defendant was with
out the comforting presence of her
daughter Elaine. which made the or
deal even harder for her. Attorney
Arthur Brown, for the defense person
ally attended Mrs. Stannard and help
ed to comfort her.
