all of the business men of Montgom-

Now there is no trouble at Mont

no reason to believe there. ever will
be. There are no coal mines. at Mont

II miles away from the scene of the

Puzzle: Why does the Governor
want to declare martial law at Mont

It be the work of certain wholesale

Suffice to say, at this writing the

eral Of them, that they will surrender
to no committee, the rights guaran-
teed to them by the cbnstitution-e4

a right to ask the people of state
to turn over their arms to commit

is ''faw" that needs fixing.

for Charleston for Thursday, October

1t is not believed, however, That
the call will be recognized by the

that the signature of an attorney for
