On the eve of the meeting of the
primary board one of the members,
Frank Ewing, Independent, was sud
denly called tC Chicago answering a
call from the headquarters of the fire
insurance company with which he is
connected. Mir. Ewing's absence re-
suited in another postponement OF
The board meeting until next Thurs

This announcement was made late
Thursday afternoon after four mem
bers of the board were in the city.
Col Robert S. Fletcher was notified
as he was going to the train that the
5card meeting had been postponed
and for him not to come. An effort
was made to reach Frank Spurlock,
of Chattanooga, but he was on his
way before the decision to postpone
was reached. He arrived at Z o'clock
Thursday night. R. R. Sneed and
Frank Thompson were already here.
The postponement has caused gen.
eral regret not only among the can
dldates for office, but among demo-
Gratis as well Col. o. G. Barton is in
the city, ano expresses himself as re-
GREETING exceedingly that the lost
ponement is necessary. Mr.. Sneed is

JERSEY MEN
ARE REJOICING
EMBARGO ON APPROPRIATIONS
FROM ISLAND HAS BEEN
RAISED.

The official announcement has ap-
peared that the embargo on importa-
tons from the Island has now oeen
raised. The embargo went into eff
feet on July 18th on account of foot
and mouth disease in England where
outbreaks have occurred from time
to time since that date. The Chan
mel Islands, however, are exempt,
from the trouble as our own coun-
Try, but the quarantine has affected
them because the cattle have to be
shipped to England and from thence
to America. Under the present rul-
ing all feed and ''littAr'' must be
shipped from this country to feed
cattle on in bringing them over and
u special permit has to be obtain
ed from duly authorized officials.
South Hampton is to be the point or
transhipment.
With the precautions being taken
there is absolutely no danger of the
cattle becoming infected. There
would be little or no danger IL only
the ordinary precautions were resort
ed to as the disease is confined to
certain more or less remote districts
IN England.

Paul Gilmore, the always favotite &C

morning WITH his splendid company
and will tonight present one of his
great successes, 1.-THE Mummy and
Inc Hummine Bird"
Mr.. Gilmore announced this morn
ing that next season he would travel
in automobiles. This will be decid-
cd innovation but the popular actor
is confident that it will be a most sue
cessful one.
! Seated at The Herald Office with his
leading lady, the beautiful and talent
ID Miss Catherine Hutchinson, Mr..
Gilmore, with all the enthusiasm Of a
boy, outlined his plans for making his
itinerary with autos.
the scheme is original with me"
said the star, "but | am persuaded al
ready that it will not only be a sue
cess from financial standpoint, but
it will also prove most enjoyable
way to give the members of the cast
little recreation. 1t will certainly
be more pleasant to travel through
the country in open air, especially
where the roads are good, than to
meet all kinds of outlandish SEIZED
ules and go in stuffy train.

members of the company in machines

also be carried in like manner /
have some original ideas upon the
subject of scenery that I expect TO put
into execution that will prove of mate
rial advantage and will also give the
public better service.
"Of course where the roads are i'm
passaDle We shall not try the ma
cnines. However, | believe that If
my plan is followed by other compa.
MES on the road that increased inter-
est will be aroused in the subject of
good roads ! expect to contribute a
certain per cent of the receipts to a
good roads fund"
MI Gilmore is always at home in
"a newspaper office and never comes

Herald He believes in the efficacy
of printers ink and does not hesitate
to 90 so. While in the Office this
morning Manager w. B. Wooten, of
the Grand Opera House, entered. No
sooner were the formalities of intro
duction over than Mr.. Gilmore hasten
ed to appeal to Mr.. Wooten not to
turn his share of the nights receipts
over to him in silver.

smile Il have been bothered to death
with my money. This Canadian over
coat that l anu wearing is weight
enough without loading me down with
money"
This statement led The Herald
man to remark: 1T is something al
together out of the usual for an actor
in Columbia to manifest concern over
the weight Of his share of the house
receipts"

COMMISSION HEARS FOUR CASES MONDAY
Regular Session of Railroad Commission in Mont

Montgomery, November S0.-(Spe- cial )-OnIy cases Of local nature are scheduled to come before the railroad commission when they meet in regular monthly session at the capitol next Monday One of the cases has been be- fore the commission for several months. This case is styled the commission ys. the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company and the Central of Georgia railroad, and is a citation to show cause why physical connection should not be established at Samson,
 Three other cases will come before the commission in addition to the samson case. all of which are new. The first is that of A. C. Kirby vs. the Alabama Great Southern Railroad com pany, being q petition for improved track facilities al Gollinsville.
 The Southern Express company has q petition to close It's agency at Riverton' The express company maintains that the amount of business does not justify the further operation of it's agency.
 Tine fourth case Is that of E. l.. Boy kin vs. Louisville and Nashville and the Western Railway of Alabama, and Is q petition for passenger shed at juno tion near Selma.
 In addition to these cases it is probable that the commission will consider mum Der of other matters. though no very im- portant business is scheduled to come up before that body

the fee system, and other counties and cities of the state are desirous of estab- fishing certain reforms which only can be effected by the aid of the Legislature.
 Not only does the opinion prevail that it will be necessary for Governor O'Neal to call the legislature together some time next year. but it is pretty generally be- Heved that the session will be a harmo- niens one Governor O'Neal will have It, tie trouble in enecting some of the re- forms which he has been advocating, be- cause f is admitted that these reforms are needed. There is little probability that the liquor question will be made an issue because the opinion prevails that the present laws should be given d thor ongh test. This opinion was expressed in Montgomery few days ago by one of the most prominent prohibition leaders of the house.
 In other words, should Governor O'Neal call the legislature together next summer he will find the members of the two houses ready 10 cooperate with him in the passage of laws that are now re- garded essential by citizens in all parts of the state. With these needs so appar- ent as to almost assume tie proportions of public demand. it is hardly prohabl ? that the states interest will be leopard ized by the consideration of any except the most important matters.
