Jackson, Miss, June S.-(Special) )-The state democratic executive committee met in the Senate chamber Wednesday at noon, being called to order by State Sen ator John l.. Hebron, who was chairman of the late state convention.
 MT. Latham of Eupora nominated J. NJ. McBeath of Meridian as permanent chair man of the committee and he was unani- mously elected, after E. A. Fitzgerald of Vicksburg had withdrawn his name in 0 happy little talk, during which he de- clared he was going to stand to the rack, fodder or no fodder-he was like the poker player who lost his money, but still liked to play the game.
 Mr. McBeath was escorted to the chair and J. F. Norwood, editor of the Magnolia Gazette, was unanimously elected secre- tary.
 H. V. Watkins moved that G. A. Hobbs of Brookhaven be selected as the delegate at large to Baltimore, vice c. H. Alex ander, deceased. it being the sentiment of the other alternates that MT.

MAY BUILD LARGE HOTEL IN COLUMBUS Georgians Will Decide MOn- day Night Whether to
 Build or Not

Columbus, Ga.. June 1s.-(Special)-It will be definitely known next Monday night whether or not Columbus will have first class modern hotel. For year past the question has been discussed and movement was set on foot looking to the building of such hotel in this city, and the matter has progressed to the point where a meeting of the subscribers, which has been called for next Monday night, will determine the matter.
 It is proposed to erect a hotel to cost 2500OO. It was not contemplated that all the money would be furnished by local men, but the promoters have been as- sured that if they will raise certain amount outside capital will come in and take the rest of the stock. The commit tee soliciting subscriptions for stock lack few thousand dollars having the neces- sary amount of local capital, and the meeting next Monday night will be held for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the additional amount necessary will be forthcoming.
 Columbus has long needed such a hotel as 1t is proposed to build.

Montgomery, June 13.-tSpecial)-De- claring that the Jefferson circuit court erred in instructing the jury that 1t was not obligatory on a pedestrian in crossing the street to look out for approaching au- tomobiles or other vehicles, the supreme court of Alabama today reversed that tribunal in the case of S. NJ. Adler vs E. L. Martin. as administrator. and remand ed the cause for a new trial.

The accident occurred on the Twenty-first street bridge, and the chauffeur running the car was Lonnie Bell.

Benjamin, and Governor Watts were the only intelligent men in the Confederacy who did not realize. after Hood had de- stroyed the army of Tennessee, about Atlanta, that the Confectionery was for ever lost. MT. Davis to his dying day be. lieved the surrender was monumental mistake. ..

John Tyler Morgan had a camp near Union town, receiving recruits from the planta- tions Some of my young men enlisted. The war then ceased, but I never saw those negroes again. Other negroes told me they went with blue coat man on a boat from Demopolis; were taken, by trick played. to Cuba and sold into slavery there. The tale was probably only too true, but even if apocryphal in this instance it represents the mock humani- tarian motives of the invaders with fidelity.

GOVERNOR O'NEAL
 MAY MAKE NO REPLY
Will Probably Ignore State ment of Birmingham Men
 Published Yesterday

Montgomery, June 13-(Special) )-Gover- nor o'Neal will probably not reply to the statement issued by the committee of business men of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, published in to- days issue of The Age-Herald. in answer to the statement issued by the governor last Monday morning Should the gov ernor reply it will be in answer to the charge made by the committee that his property in Florence is not assessed at it's proper valuation
 Regarding the Carroll land." which Governor O'Neal recently purchased, the executive declared that some time ago he instructed his agent in Florence to see the county tax commissioner of Lau- derdale county and have him assess this property at 60 per cent of It's value.
 q have not yet decided whether or not I shall issue any definite reply to the statement of the committee from the Chamber of Commerce, published in to- days Age-Herald, said the governor. Should I do so, 1t will probably be in answer to the charge that my Florence property is not assessed at it's just value.
 Tn reference to the Carroll property I recently instructed my agent at Florence to see the tax commissioner of Lauder dale county and have this property as- sessed at 60 per cent of it's cash value. I shall also do so with reference to my home, which I consider has increased in value during the past few years
 Further than to speak of the charges made against him with reference to his Florence property the governor did not discuss the published statement of the Chamber of Commerce committee. and he will probably not issue any formal reply unless the committees future actions make it incumbent upon him to do so.

 But the committee would have none of that MT.
