After September 21
Decatur, August 20.—(Special.)—The |
bills recently passed by the city council j
of New Decatur authorizing the people |
of New Decatur to vote on changing;
the name of that city to Morgan City has
not received the signature of Mayor Rob
ert H. Wolcott, the 10 days’ time in which |
j he had to sign it having expired last
i night. However, the bill will become a
law without the mayor’s signature, it
having been passed by the vote of all
the councilmen save one. Mayor Wolcott
did not veto the bill, but merely did not
sign it. The election on the change of
name will take place on September 2?. tho
same date as the city election in Decatur
and in New Decatur.
Tiie question of changing the name of
New Decatur is a live question now . 'ays.
While many people In New Decatur favor
changing the name many a.re opposed to
the change. The indications are it this
time that the election will be a close or.e.
Should the name be changed it will
cause no end of confusion In the business
world over In that city f*-r sometime to
come. Many of the leading business firms
bear the'name New Decatur. This will
cause these firms to change their names.
Then there is no freight depot in New
Decatur, that city getting their freight
-hipped to Decatur. A hange In the
1 *>ame would cause confusion in the ship
ment of freight.
On the other hand, many of the people
of New Decatur are of tho opinion that
if New Decatur changes its name they
will be able to get a government building
in their eity. To many this does not ap
pear to be sound argument.

/
Washington, August 20.— (Special.)
Congressman J. Thomas Heflin today
sent the following telegram to Presi
dent Ford of the Farmers’ union now
asimbled at Birmingham.
“Many plans have been suggested
looking to government aid for the cot
ton farmer. I am certain that some
thing will tie done at an early date.
Advices have been received here that
in spite of the war England will take
3,000,000 bales of this crop. There is no
reason why this crop should sell be- j
low 1U Vi cents per pound. I expect to
see some of It sell for 15 cents before
this time next year. The war will give
to American cotton mills new markets
and greatly increase their business
abroad and thus enable them to pay
a better price for cotton than they
have paid for the last five years. If
the war continues they will operate day
and night and run double shifts and
I Will consume 9,5U(>,000 or 10,000,000
bales of this crop which If not
larger, is as large as the crop last
year, '
"If the war continues the fanner of
the south will be called upon to grow
foodstuff where he now grows cot
ton for we will be called upon to feed
the armies engaged in this great war
and the profit on such a crop next

ERVIN POPE WILL NOT
DIE ON THE GALLOWS
IN ANNISTON TODAY
Governor, in Order to Ex
amine Evidence More
Thoroughy, Grants a
Reprieve
Montgomery, August 20.—(Special.)—The
governor tonight granted a reprieve to
Ervin Pope, negro murderer, of Calhoun
county, who was to have been executed
tomorrow in the Calhoun county jail on
a charge of killing James McLurkln, a
white farmer of Oxford. The governor
granted the reprieve in order that he
might have more time to examine the
evidence and testimony submitted in the
case.
Pope’s case is one of the most sensa
tional that has ever been tried in the
criminal annals of the state. Five times
he has been sentenced to death by Cal
houn county juries and five times his
case has been appealed to the supreme
court. On four occasions the higher tri
bunal has reversed and remanded the
verdict of the lower court. On the appeal
the supreme court affairrned the verdict
of the court and set Friday, August 21 as
the date for the execution. Sheriff li. T.
Brooks, of Calhoun county, was notified
at noon today of the reprieve and he im
mediately took Pope from the Calhoun
county jail and transferred him to Bir
mingham, where he will be held.
Pope has been in jail six years, most of j
the time being spent in the Jefferson 1
county jail. During this period he has
been a model prisoner ami has made a
good jail record. Hundreds of leading
citizens of the state recommended that
the death sentence of Pope he commuted
to life imprisonment.
Following is the governor's statement:
“On last Friday, the date of my return
from Florence, the hoard of pardons sub
mitted to me their report in this case,
declining t.o recommend the commutation
of the sentence. I was constantly occu
pied with important official duties until
Monday of this week. The question of
the life or death of tills defendant is now
in my hands. There is a large record
and a voluminous mass of papers which
it is my duty to consider.
“I have been unable, with other press
ing offeial duties, with the limited time
at my command, to give tills case that
careful and thorough consideration which
its grave importance demands.
“No harm can come to the state or the
defendant by a reprieve of a brief period,
and in order that I may have, full oppor
tunity to carefully consider and examine
the record, and other documents on file,
and do full justice to the state and to the
defendant, I tdeem it my duty to delay
the execution of the defendant in this case
and have accordingly granted the defen
dant a reprieve until September 18. 1914.“
ROAD CONTRACTS FOR
GREENE AND MARION
Montgomery, August 20.—(Special.)
Contracts for the construction of state
aid roads Jn Greene and Marion coun
ties have been let by the state highway
department. The new road in Greene
county will cos.t $7000, of which amount
the state will'pay $3271. The Marion
road will cost $('.542. one-half Of which j
will come from the state.
and the help that various banking in
stitutions will give and through the
efforts that will be put forward by
our own people, the farmers of the
south will be able to hold and se
cure a reasonable price for their cot
ton. The greatest factor In this light
is the farmer himself. If he will keep
a level head and will not allow him
self to be stampeded, j am firmly of
the opinion that this cotton situation
will be taken car© of in a/ satisfactory
manner."

Safe Investments
The largest measure of success for any company
of this kind can lie acquired only by treating its cus
tomers fairly, and by furnishing satisfactory returns
on their investments. The management of the Realty
Trust Company is justified, we think, in claiming a
record for honesty and for careful and efficient
handling of the funds of its stockholders and clients.
We offer for sale three classes of securities:
Preferred stock of the company bearing dividends
of seven per cent, payable semi-annually, dividends
on which are guaranteed by two hundred thousand
dollars of common stock;
Notes hearing interest at from six to eight per cent,
signed by reliable parties, amply secured by mort
gages on real estate, ap
proved by two or more
capable men; High class
municipal, railroad and in
dustrial bonds.
We solicit inquiries from
prospective investors, and
from parties desiring to sell
bonds or mortgage paper, or
to borrow on real estate.
