NEGRO METHODISTS GO TO COURT TO SETTLE
 SCHOOL TRUSTEE ROW

Selma, February Especial. )-A battle royal of the legal variety was staged in the courtroom of the Dallas county courthouse this morning be- tween two factions of the Alabama neEro Methodist church regarding the removal of the Payne university from Selma to Montgomery.
 The action to forestsll transferring the school to Montgomery takes the form of quo warranto proceeding which involves the validity Of the election of the trustees of the school. It is claimed by those who are oppos- ing the removal of the school that the trustees who authorized the change were holding office to which they had not clear title and their &C., tion has no legal sanction.
 The hearing, which is being held be- fore Judge s. F. Hobbs, was attended by courtroom full of~interested spec tators among the negroes. W. H. Nixon, one of the trustees of the school occupied the stand the greater portion of the morning. E. w. Pettus and A. M. Pitts represent the faction opposed to the removal of the school and Hon. Leon Well of Montg is spokesman for the other side.

New Orleans, February 9.--Lonnie Eaton, the negro whose date of exccu- tion was forgotten by the sheriff of Ouachita parish, will not regain his freedom because of the oversight, ac- cording to an opinion handed down by Attorney General A. V. Coco late today.
 Prior to the rendering of the opin- ion by the attorney general many leading attorneys of the state contend tended that by reason of the fact that the negro's life had once been placed in jeopardy when the governor fixed the date of his execution, and that date arrived without reprieve being granted, he could not now be legally hanged, 9ut that on the other hand 1e was legally dead and must be granted his freedom.
 This view was not sustained by the attorney general, however, who after setting out that he can find nothing in the general textbooks ancient or modern, or in jurisprudence, which furnishes the least basis for such an idea, rules as follows: thority is conferred upon the governor to have the death sentence executed, and it is made the duty of the sheriff to execute the criminal in conformity to the death warrant on the day named by the governor and the law further provides that the death sentence shall

DR. W. P. M 'ADORY
 ADDRESSES SENIORS.
Birmingham Man Compares Scrap for Success to Ancient
 Football Game

Auburn, February 9.-(SpeciaL) )- For their guest and speaker at their weekly meeting last night the seniors were fortunate in having Dr. w. P. McAdory of Birmingham, who ad- dressed them along lines unlike the speakers whom they have had before.
 Introduced by Gene Read, member of the senior class from Montgomery, pr. McAdory chose for his theme. "The Two Sides-Winning and Losing-e,f Life, after he had referred to him self as no orator and not even a ia = nous Alabamian." For the hack ground of his discussion he used fa- nous football game between Georgia and Auburn, which he attended some 20 years ago, and watched Auburn de- fend her goal on three occasions. when the ball was in three yards of going over.
 Tt took fight and team work to mir up such n1atchless defense" said pr. McAdory, and such conditions you se- nlors will meet in the real battle of iile. You must not only be prepared wltn we'll trained mind but with a firm determination to master all diff 1lculty because it takes a man to fieht losing game
 Referring to the so-called "self-made men ne explained that they succeed Iecause they know that the odds are really against them and therefore fight harder in order to overcome inc diSfis cuitles confronting them and make for themselves an equal opportunity with others.

Negro Sheriff Forgot 10 Hang Not Likely to Gain Freedom
 By Being Held Legally Dead

be executed by hanging the person by the neck until he is dead.
 That these specific provisions of the law might be carried out in 50 im- portant matter by the failure of an officer to perform his duty is alto gether beyond reason. The idea may have arisen from an ancient superstl- ton by which it was thought that If the criminal was not thoroughly killed,
 and revived, he was thereby rescued by the unforeseen hand of Providence"
 The attorney general then ruled that lit woull be legal for the governor to again fix a date for the execution of
 the negro Eaton, who was convicted of the murder of Charles McQuiller, a white planter in 1917 Will Flournoy, another negro convicted of complicity in the crime, is now serving life sen tence for his part in the killing of the white man. which occurred in a drunk en brawl.
 A movement has been started by a number of interested people in the state to have the death sentence stand- ing against the negro commuted to life imprisonment. The governor is
 said to be in favor of this course and lit is expected that a strong case will be made out before the pardon board at an early date
 In the meantime Eaton is awaiting his fate in Caddo parish prison, ap- parently not very much concerned over the settlement of the interesting legal question which has been raised be- cause of the sheriffs forgetfulness.

LIVE STOCK MEN
 GIVEN GLAD HAND
 BY TUSCALOOSANS
Twelfth Annual Session Starts With Exchange of Cordial Greetings From Hosts
 and Guests

Tuscaloosa, February 9.-(Special) The twelfth annual convention of the Alabama Live Stock association was called to order by President c. A. Cary of Auburn at 10 o'clock this morn ing in the chamber of commerce rooms. pr. Cary introduced Judge w. w. Brandon, who had been selected to deliver the address of welcome on the part of the city and. as usual, he measured up to the full requirements of the occasion
 Judge J. T. Stokely of Birmingham responded to the address of welcome and made fine impression. He, too. took the optimistic side of conditions. He was very happy in his response to Judge Brandon's warm words of well come, and said he even exceeded the courtesy of a Spanish family, of which he was the guest on the southern side of Cuba, who made the remark as he entered, ''The House is Yours" He said the eloquence of Judge Brandon and the warmth of his welcome had cap tivated the hearts of the visitors, and they felt perfectly at home, after hearing his generous words.
 A most interesting discussion on blooded cattle came off after the dn- ner hour. J. E. Dunnaway of Orrville made most interesting talk, which was followed by a running discussion of five minute speeches, participated in by Fred Jones of Sumter, Roland Turner of the Southern railway, F. I. Darby of Ward and several others. They all advocated better blooded stock and closer attention to the de- tails of stock raising.
 Mfr Darby is an enthusiastic man, and branched out and wanted the rail- roads to reduce the pay of conduc- tors and engineers so that stock raisers could get better freight rates on their cattle to the mar kets of the country. This brought Judge Stokely to his feet and he told the meeting that wages for railroad men were fixed by a. commits sion, appointed by an act of Congress, and not by the railroads themselves
 Many stock raisers are attending the meetings The association will be in session tomorrow.

 A meeting is to be held at Red Level Saturday afternoon to formulate plans for the work there. The meeting will be held in the Peoples bank building Farmers will sign >ledges not to raise over five acres of cotton.
 The meeting of Covington county farmers held at the courthouse this afternoon was largely attended, more than 100 farmers and business men be- ing present. Chairman R. N. Mcleod, of the Covington county committee, appointed by President Smith, of the Alabama division of the American Cot ton association presided and outlined the purpose of the meeting. He stated that it was the wish of the association that not more than six acres of cotton be planted this year and that those present would be asked to sign a pledge of that effect.
 All farmers who were at the meeting agreed that they would not plant over five acres, signing the pledge, to this effect and fully 20 per cent stated that they were not going to plant any cotton at all this year. A number of short talks were made by both farmers and business men from all sec tions of the county. It was the sense of the meeting that no ertilizer would be bought at high prices.
