property left in the city which had not
been subdivided.
There was considerable other ex-
pense in getting the city a clear title
to the whole thing so that the ultimate
cost was something like $4,000. For
instance, there were a lot of squatters
on the property scattered about
through the woods. They claimed to
have certain rights and titles and the
mayor employed Ed Cullom and he
spent nearly a year in getting these all
sraightened out and giving the city an
absolutely clear title to the whole
thing.
ALDERMEN BEHIND HIM
The board of aldermen was unitedly
behind the mayor in the whole transac-
ton, and while it was then, as now,
recognized as an important matter to
the city, is is believed that the years to
come will demonstrate even more
forcibly the wisdom of the action of

John, Lowe of Madison
Wouldn't Have the Office
When rendered to Him
HOW SLATE WAS MADE
TO MEET SITUATION
Three of Wealthiest and Most indie
pendent Men of County Picked
Out to Fill the Three
Vacant Offices

Sheriff John Lowe of Madison coun-
ty is one man in Alabama that was
literally forced into office.
Sheriff Lowe is wealthy planter
and he has never held public office
until he was appointed to the sheriff
office by Gov. Charles Henderson last
summer at the solicitation of Robert
Murphree. a banker and Douglass
Taylor, an attorney of Huntsville. MIR.
Lowe was appointed to serve out the
term vacated by the death of Sheriff
Robert T. Phillips, who. it was stated,
had shot himself in the county Jail
through worry following the murder
of Judge William T. Lawler.
AS soon as the death of Sheriff Phil
lips was announced and before his
body was even cold the politicians of
Madison county were busy scheming
as to who would get his place. How
ever. all who were suggested were
turned down by the leaders who as
sumed charge of affairs in turbulent
Huntsville last June, and 1t was de-
cided that only men who had never
held public office and who had never
been mixed up. in factional politics
should be appointed.
SLATE MADE UP
A slate composed of j. Macdonald,
for probate Judge; Charles Pulley. for
circuit court clerk, and John Lowe,
for sheriff. was prepared and taken
to Montgomery for appointment by the
governor. 1t was certified to Governor
Henderson that Macdonald. Pulley and
Lowe were three men independently
wealthy, who had never mixed up in
politics and moreover, who had no de-
sire to be in politics, and who, if ap-
pointed, would have to be pursuaded to
accept the honor. Governor Henderson,
realizisg the uniqueness of the stu
alton of appointing men who did not
want office, promptly named them as
probate Judge, circuit court clerk and
sheriff. respectively, or Madison coun-
ty. The appointments caused SEN
sation last summer-to the politicians
of Madison county.
Macdonald and Pulley accepted their
appointments without making too
much of a fuss about it, but it was
different with John Lowe, He declared
that liberties had been taken with the

salary of $8 per day. "But it costs
about half of that to live here" he

noon, and tying up under the Musco-
gee wharf coal chutes at that hour,
the American steamship Honduras
was supplied with more than $50 tons
of bunker coal, and by $50 o'clock
was ready to proceed to sea. BY
daylight, it is expected that this
tanker of peculiar construction, will
be far out to sea. This is just about
as rapid coaling feat cs is possible
