DR. PERCY NIXON
 DIES SUDDENLY Was Taken to Holmes Gap Saturday in Hope of
 Getting Relief

Or. Percy Nixon, one of the best known young men in Alabama, died Sat urday night at Holmes Gap. where he had gone in the hope that the altitude and fresh air would deter the ravages of tuberculosis, from which he had been a sufferer for some time. For several years he had been practicng his profession in Opelika, but recently had to abandon all work and came to the anti-tuberculosis camp on Red mountain, where he re- mained until a few days ago, leaving then for Holmes Gap.
 The remains were brought to the city yesterday afternoon and conveyed to the residence of Joseph T. Collins, Jr., his brother-in-law, 1oSo South Twenty sixth street, by Johns, and will rest there until the arrival of his mother, Mrs. James T. Nixon, who is on her way home from New York.
 Dr. Nixon was the second son of the late James T. Nixon, who with his sur viving widow was among the first set tiers of Birmingham, at one time operat- ing the Relay house and subsequently, both the Florence and Jefferson hotels. The late Dr. Nixon was their second son and was born and reared in this city. He studied dentistry under pr. M. J. Lun- quest and finished in the Baltimore dental college. He practiced several years in Birmingham successfully and then moved to Opeika, where his wifes family resid- ed and was equally successful and popu- lar there. His wife was Miss Lotte Pe- terson of Opelika, and was with her hus- band when he died.
 Dr. Nixons surviving re7atives are his mother, Mrs. Nixon, his brother, Stanley Nixon, and two sisters. Mrs. Joseph T.. Collins, Jr., of Birmingham, and Mrs. Dr. William D. Partlow of Tuscaloosa.
 The late Dr. Nixon was one of the most popular young men reared in Birming ham. No one excelled him in the telling of joke except his late father, who was regarded as the best raconteur Birming ham has ever known.
 Dr. Nixon was a member of the Elks and at one time was surgeon with the rank of major in the Alabama National Guard. Everyone who Hnew him loved him.
 The funeral will be held this afternoon at the residence of his sister Mrs. Colias, at f o'clock. Interment will ne in Oak Hill cemetery.
 Several of the old friends of the family met the remains at the depot yesterday. Among them were Judge Charles w. Fer guson, Frank S. Foster, w. N. Malone, George B. Ward, J. Rivers Carter, Rich ard F. Johnson, MT. and Mrs. John K Warren and MT. and Mrs. Edward War ren.

CONTINUAL ATTACKS

Says Conner Prefers to Try Judicial Questions on the Stump h. stead of Taking Them Into
 the Courts

sydney J. Bowie yesterday issued a statement in reply to some of the per sonal allusions made by former Gov ernor B. B. Conner In his Greenville speech last Friday. Mfr Bowie de- nounces as utterly false' the insinua- tion that if he were now in Congress he would do the bidding of Arehbold, Ryan, Belmont, Morgan and Rockefel- Ter.
 He states that he retired from Con gress voluntarily and could have been reelected, and he charges that Govern or Conner at the time of his retirement could not have been reelected to any position in the state. MT. Bowie writes as follows:
 Former Governor Conner, in his speech in Greenville on last Friday, said: MT. P. Sid Bowie is the dis tinguNhed citizen who MT ,~mith took down to Montgomery with him In his private car during the session of the legislature in 1907, and he made a speech on the part of the Louisville and Nashville railroad demanding that the legislature adjourn sine die, declaring that it was a dangerous body. MT. Bowie Is an ex-congressman, elected by the democrats of Alabama. Suppose he was a member of Congress now. and MT Archbold and MT. Ryan and MT Belmont, Mir. Morgan, Rockefeller and others would go down to Washington and demand that Congress adjourn sine die, that it was dangerous
