State Committee Sets Alabama Actions and Blount Springs Shooting
The Democratic state committee met in Montgomery and directed county actions, with Autauga to hold a convention for delegates and Geneva referred to the old county panel. A primary date change for Mobile Montgomery Jefferson was refused and only white voters would participate in April primaries. A shooting at Blount Springs left Joe Mason with a thigh wound after a confrontation with a nearby man. Deputy Lang raided moonshiners near Sip Bey river, capturing Jef Brian and destroying a rudely built still. Rice cultivation received support from Henderson at Greenville, while editor W T Wear sued city officials for damages over defamatory charges. A Huntsville hotel suicide followed a prolonged spree. Ed Butler and F T Butler sold 1000 bales of cotton at 9 cents, a north Alabama record, and Tillman denied a Birmingham speech engagement on the dispensary issue.
