Cliff Crozier Makes Partner, Negro Watch; Wife Hears Death Shot Crazed by liquor, W.

"I thought he was joking and gave the gun back," Joiner said. "When we went into the rest room and he sat in the doorway I decided I would leave, but he said he would shoot me if I did." Joiner gave liquor as the motive for the suicide, saying Crozier was drinking at the time and had been drinking the the the day and night before. Crozier served overseas, coming to Dothan' in the early 20s from Cuthbert, as an employe of the Central of Georgia. He had been operating the filling station for about three years.

July 4 Speeches Emphasize Personal And State Rights WASHINGTON, July 5.

(AP) Independence speeches, political observers found today that stress was laid on "individual liberty," and 'states' These points were dwelt upon in addresses by highly-placed Repub, licans and by some prominent Democrat. They were particularly stressed in attacks on New Deal policies. The day was marked also by denials that the New Deal tends to dictatorship. FORMER PRESIDENT Hoover. was one who spoke of the need for the "preservation of individual Niberty." Another to speak of this subject was Senator Byrd, Virginia Democrat, who praised George Washington's views on personal freedom.

Gov. Talmadge of Georgia, a persisent New Deal critic, raised the cry of states' rights. While these addresses were being Factions Must Decide Or Cost Dothan Help To Realize Project ROAD AGITATED Enterprise Highway Center of Contention Unless Dothan citizens reach an accord the city stands in grave danger of losing the $138,000 Federal underpass at the, ACL railway crossing north of town altogether, John W. Rish, special attorney in charge of condemnation proceedings of the right-of-way, asserted Friday. Rish said the state highway department had been informed of disagreement among Dothan citizens and county authorities and that the department said It appeared some wanted the Enterprise highway completed first while others insisted that underpass is the more important.

The attorney declared the city is meeting all state and Federal requirements in furnishing rights-ofway and approaches. Reports current Friday morning were that the underpass money would be transferred to the Enterprise highway fund, but both Rish and Mayor C. Ezell said that la impossible under the present set-up, 80 much money having been allotted for grade-crossing elimination and that unless Dothan gets the A. C. L.

Highway 84 claiming broken pledges but ap: parently were mollified even when the state highway department selected the Hartford Geneva route. As it develops Friday authorities of both Coffee and Houston have been negotiating quietly and agreed tacitly to bring pressure to get the highway by some means or other. Meantime, the city has been exercising efforts to secure the underpass and has filed condemnation proceedings against owners of 30 pieces of property.

It was the report of the conflicting views of county and city authorities that reached the highway department and brought, to Rish word that if views could not be reached that the loss threatened. will. It is understood that Enterprise and Elba have been offended by the state highway department's decision to route the Mobile le highway through Hartford and Geneva and that at a recent meeting of Houston and Coffee county authorities it was decided to push requests for paving the road to Elba. Such a procedure would lessen Dothan's chances of getting the underpass, in the opinion of Rish, who added that the highway department would approve only 50 much and no more for any one city. At a recent meeting of the Dothen Kiwanis club, M.

D. Black, A. C. L. superintendent at Montgomery, told Kiwanians that this city was in danger of losing the project because of apparent lack of interest and united effort.

Rish said Dothan must "show some desire" for the underpass before the Federal government will approve the project. He pointed much out that Montgomery got larger allocation for such works than the entire Wiregrass region, work for it and show the authorit "simply because," he said, "they work for it and show the authorities that they' really want it."
