OBSERVED ALL OVER STATE
Thousands Take Part In Festivities at Greenve Which Were
On Very Elaborate Scale-Floats Handsomest Ever
Seen in Greenville- Huntsville, Decatur and
Other Cities Observe the Day

Greenville, July Especial Green
vile was thronged with many thou
sands of visitors today. For weeks prep
arations have been in progress for the
biggest day In the history of Green
vile, and today Greenville's guests en-
joyed a day long to be remembered.
The crowd was a jolly one and the
young folks as well as the old had
the carnival spirit and the day was
glorious indeed
Huge platforms were built along
was furnished by orchestras for those
who desired to dance.
Some of the most enjoyable amuse-
ments were the water battles between
companiesi of the Greenville fire de-
partment. Motorcycle races and motor
car races furnished much amusement
for those people who enjoy speed and
excitement. Novelty races and other
athletics proved very entertaining.
The grand parade was formed at 10
o'clock at the head of Commerce street.
and Col T. w. Peagler was grand mar
shal, who led the parade. Following
him were mounted police who were fol-
lowed by brass band and the officers
of the Greenville commercial club who
were the cause of the grand celebra-
tion.
The floats of artistic construction
and decorations were next to follow
and these floats are the product of the
efforts of Messrs. C. c. Boutwell, and
Hudson. They were correctly and beau
tifully designed TO represent the fol-
lowing: Charity, Peace, Springtime, Au-
tumn, Summer, American Beauty, Ire
land, Japan, 1892, Kearsarge, Icelandl
Cleopatra, Queen of Faryland, Areo-
plane, Dreamland, Automobile, Love
Kindness, Gentleness and Liberty The
names were well taken and much COM
'mendation has been given the builders.
Each float We're filled with people to
represent that of the float, and some
of Greenville' most beautiful young
ladies had places on these floats. Next
in order were King Oscar | and Queen

JUDGESHIP CONTEST
MAY Be REHEARD
Application Filed With Su.
preme Court in Shepherd
Sartian Case

Jasper. July A-especial)-An appliea-
ton was filed with the supreme court to-
day by Bankhead & BanShead. asking for
rehearing in the James W. Shepherd VS..
Charles M. Sartian probate judgship con-
test case. The application was filed soon
after the opinion of the supreme court
reached Jasper. Should tn court receive
with favor the application for a rehear-
ing it will probably recall their certificate
affirming the opinion of the superior
court that Sartian was the legal probate
judge of Walker county.
Should the supreme court fail to grant
a new hearing the question as TO who
shall have the remuneraton since Shep-
herd took the office in 1910 is one that will
likely involve further litigation. sar-
tian has been declared the legal judge OF
probate while Shepherd held the office.

Washington. July 4.-(Special )-Repre-
sentative Fred L. Blackmon with the
members of the commission appointed by
Congress, Representative Blackmon being
the vice chairman of the commission, will
shortly make a visit to Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and New York to make a personal in
vestigation of the working of the pneu-
matte tube system for the handling of the
United States mails in greatly congested
districts
Some time ago the government made a
contract with the Pneumatic Tube Service
corporation for period of 10 years for AZ
st. Louis, Chicago and Cleveland The
compensation was fixed at $4,000 per mile.
This contract expires in 1916.
The Pneumatic Tube Service corpora
tion, not knowing whether or not an ex-
tension of their contract will be granted
by Congress, are proposing to sell their
patents and all property to the govern
ment.
A resolution was introduced in the Sem
ate and passed. providing for commits
sion to investigate the advisability of pur-
chasing the patents and property of this
corporation; also to investigate the cost
of installing a similar service and the al
tentative proposition of renewing the con-
tract for a number of years.
Originated in Senate
The resolution originated in the Senate
and Senator Guggenheim was made chair
man of the commission and Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia was the other member
of the Senate to be appointed on the COM
mission. The House members were Rep
resentative Blackmon and Victor Muir
doch, the progressive leader. The reso-
luton also provided that Second Assistant
Postmaster General Joseph Stewart should
Senator Guggenheim retired from the SEN
ate last March and was succeeded on the
commission by Senator Bradley of Ken
lucky. Senator Smith succeeded to the
chairmanship.
Numerous hearings have been held with
reference to the amount invested in this
service, the cost of construction and the
value of the service to the country al
large. Expert engineers of the govern
ment were detailed to make reports tc
the committee, and the cost of construc-
ton and expert auditors have gone oVei
the accounts and submitted reports as to
the revenue of the corporation and the
earnings on the amount invested.
