YOUNG A committee on credentials was appointed and reported all credentials in proper form. On motion of A. L. MOORMAN J. T. YOUNG was made permanent chairman, W. R. WHITE Secretary, J. S. CLEMENTS assistant secretary. Chairman YOUNG made a neat little talk and thanked the convention for the honor conferred upon him by electing him to preside over the convention. The convention then proceeded to vote on the two candidates for the nomination for Governor, which resulted in 40 1/3 for Oates and 152/3 for Johnson. The following g delegates were chosen to cast the vote of the county in the coming state convention: W. C. DAVIS, W. H. MATTHEWS, W. A. LEE, A. J. HAMILTON, with J. P. PEARCE as alternate, to act in case either of the delegates failed to attend. A motion was then made to instruct the delegates to vote for Hon. W. C. Oates, which resulted in a friendly war of words. The Johnson men stood firm for their favorite and J. P. PEARCE made a strong appeal to the convention to give Mr. JOHNSON his strength. But the Oates men were equally as enthusiastic and carried their point. On motion the delegates were unanimous instructed to vote for COLLIER for Attorney-General. The chair announced that he next thing in order was to nominate a candidate for Representative. WM. GANN placed in nomination WM. C. DAVIS, who was nominated by acclamation. Chairman YOUNG then appointed a committee consisting of A. L. MOORMAN and WM. GANN to wait on Mr. Davis and inform him of his nomination. He was escorted into the court room and introduced to the convention. Mr. DAVIS thanked the convention and democrats of Marion for the high honor they had conferred upon him and promised if elected to do all in his power to serve them faithfully. His speech had the true democratic ring and caused everyone present to feel that the democracy had a standard hearer who would lead the party to victory in the coming August election. It being next in order to select a candidate for Supt. of Education, the names of three aspirants, W. A. DUNN, W. T. HAWKINS, and C. E. MITCHELL were presented. The first ballot resulted as follows: DUNN 24; HAWKINS 8 1/3, MITCHELL 23 2/3. It being found that no one had received the required number of votes, another ballot was ordered. But before the vote could be taken Mr. HAWKINS name was withdrawn and the contest was left between Messrs DUNN and MITCHELL. The second ballot showed 32 1/3 for Dunn and 23 2/3 for MITCHELL, and the former was declared the nominee. The chair then announced that the delegates from the first and third districts could proceed to nominate two candidates for county commissioners. The delegates retired to separate rooms and after being out but a short time returned and announced that they had taken a vote and nominated J. Y. CANTRELL for the first and A. F. M HOWELL for the third district. At this juncture the candidates that were defeated for Superintendent came forward by request and addressed the convention, both pledging themselves to abide the decision of the party and stand by its nominees.

COUNTY TICKET For Representative – W. C. DAVIS For Superintendent of Education – W. A. DUNN For Commissioner 1st District – J. Y. CANTRELL For Commissioner 3rd District – A. F M. HOWELL The Democrats of Marion have met in convention and nominated a county ticket. The best of harmony prevailed from start to finish; in fact it was an old fashioned democratic love feast. The ticket which appears elsewhere is a good one. The men who compose it are life-long democrats who have the interest of the people at heart they are men of integrity and good moral character and will draw additional strength to the party. WM. C. DAVIS is the nominee for Representative; is a young man of energy and ability and will make one of the best working members Marion ever had in the Legislature. He is full of vine, as true to his party as the need to the pole and will ever be found ready and willing to defend the principles of democracy against the attacks of all who would trample them in the dust. W. A. DUNN, the nominee for Superintendent, is also a young man, but in every way well qualified to discharge the duties of the office. He is a true blue democrat and deserves the hearty support of every loyal democrat in the county. Both of the nominees for county commissioner are honorable gentlemen and enjoy the confidence and respect of all who know them. ------(various political news items)----- R. T. CLARK announces himself a candidate for Representative on the “Jeffersonian” platform. He now faces the people in his true colors and every man knows where to find him. He is in the Kolb camp and Kolb is in the Republican camp. His platform is Kolb’s platform and on its rickety old planks of radicalism and socialism they must stand or fall. The issues are clearly defined, the lines are closely drawn and it is organized democracy against a combination of sore heads, office-seeking demagogues and south-hating republicans.

B. or Marion County LAMAR COUNTY JAIL NOW GUARDED BY MILITARY TO PROTECT PRISONERS Vernon, May 15 – (Special) – When Rube Burrow, the famous outlaw, started out with his band of desperadoes and train robbers, it was in Lamar County. This same county has given birth to another band which is equally as lawless as the famous Burrow gang. At Vernon, a few nights ago, a band of white caps went to the house of SPENSER ATKINS, bound his hands, gagged him and marched him about 300 yards from his house and riddled his body with bullets. It is said that ATKINS was an upholder of law and order and that this band would be safer if the county were rid of him. So on this account, according to the story, ATKINS was finally murdered in cold blood. On Sunday night DREW NEALANDS was arrested by Sheriff PENNINGTON upon suspicion of being implicated in the murder of ATKINS. It seems that there had been an ironclad oath of allegiance to each other sworn by the band that attempted this outrage, and that if any member was caught the others were to rescue him. NEALANDS spent Sunday and Monday nights in jail, and yesterday morning gave the whole methods of the band away and implicated ALEX and ALLEN JORDAN, nephews of ATKINS, and another young man. The sheriff went at once and arrested these alleged outlaws and placed them in jail. Owing to the alleged oath of the band and the fears that an attempt to release the prisoners would be made Sheriff PENNNINGTON ordered out Company M of the Alabama state troops, which are now guarding Lamar county jail. An attack was feared, but so far as is known nothing has transpired.
