Bustabout. All of the latter names seemed especially appropriate. They all report much fun at Camp Odom, fishing, hunt ing, bathing, tennis, games, music, etc. Much time was devoted to learning how to swim, and as a consequenca most gratify- ing progress was made by both boys and girls. The Georgia Pacific was very kind to them, and they all sang it's praises with many thanks for it's courtesies.
 Great tales were told about the beauty of the scenery, the old mill and dam, the rocky, pine clad cliffs and mountain gorges, the glorious swimming, rifle and pistol practice, snake killings, berry hunts, fishing, clothes washing in the old pot down by the creek, the merry jokes and prank ks of both old and yoaug. Our reporter sighed as he wiped the perspira- ton from his tired head and wished that he was boy again and had taken in Camp Odom and the pine woods for that two weeks with that merry party of girls and boys sleeping on the pine straw with a blanket over him, and it struck him as singular that more parents did not thus personally show their children the beau ties and attractions of nature in her wood- land retreats, while still combining useful and merry things togetber.
 Mr. V ndooss stated that all had be- haved beautifully, and the whole party almost cried when camp Was struck and the march to the train began.

TO REDUCE THE FORGE.

WARRINGTON, June 30.-Secretary Her bert issued an order today suspending all work in navy yards that ss paid for out of appropriations for the increases of the navy. This is caused by the failure of con- gress to pass naval appropriation bill, Attorney General Olney agreeing with Sec retary Herbert that the joint resolution ex- tending current appropriations does not cover the matter. Ships now building un- der contract, including the battle ships and the armored cruiser Brooklyn, are not af- fected, nor will the repairs now progressing in the government yards be terminated; but the Maine, Texas, Cincinnati and Ral- eigh must remain untouched until further congressional action is secured. The naval bureaus have kepS barely within their ap- propriations, nc. over $30, 1000 remaining to tbeir credit today, but they may continue the services tf clerks and workmen for an- other month, using portion of the $160,- GOO made available by the joint resolution. It was feared at first that all naval repairs would be shut down. and that barely sufi- cient money remained to keep the yards closed and maintain an efficient force of watchmen. In that emergency it would have been necessary to cali on the army to guard the naval property. As it is, 400 or 300 workmen will suffer from the order which the secretary was compelled to issue.e

CLOSING EXERClSES

OF THE SUMMER SESSION OF MISS ADELE
 sHAw's SCHOOL.
 An interesting evening was spent Friday on the South Highlands at the close of the summer session of Miss Adele Shaw's school.
 Many novel features were introduced, and where all did so well it would be unfair to make comparisons, though the cantata, "The Dairy Maids Supper,' ,'' was charm ingly rendered, from the far mer himself to his graceful wife, jolly COW boys and dainty maids, who captivated the audience. Recitations were interspersed, and through it all the same careful training was apparent.
 The annual report showed high stand ard of scholarship.
 Prizes were awarded the following, whose names appeared on the honor roll: Blanche Edwards, May Purdon, Mary School, Wallace Edwards, Hsssie Free mon, Sadie Freemon, Ruby Love, Alice Edwards, Harry Dodd, Willie Hammack, Ella Calame.

In- vestigatious prove that the best mills pro- duce 400 gallons of oil, 675 pounds of cot. ton seed meal, 950 pounds of hulls and thirty pounds of lint to the ton of seed.

to Carrollton that they may see the man, who, like w. c. Oates. Is doing much to shape the Legislation of the house of repre- sentatives.
 Mir. Wilett and Mir. Rogers are good speakers and will command audit e, in every part of Pickens. The populi.es are addressed as erripg brethren and are urged to return to their father's house. The populites are badgered about their advo- cacy of the Australian ballot system. The democrats have Captain Kolb in corner and it appears that they will keep him there.
 There will be a hand to hand contest in this district for congress and this county will Dc the battle ground. Of course it will not be discussed until after the state election, but it is nevertheless true that each aspirsnt must win his spurs in the contest for Oates. Clements has done eff feclive work and will make more appoint ments. It is reported that Foster, Chap man, Long and Bankhead will be Ion the spot' with all the forces that each sever- ally commands. The people will listen to all that they have to say in behalf of good government, and after the 9th day of Au- gust will settle the controversy between the gentlemen named.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

CLANToN, June 20.- Staff Correspond ence. Hate Thursday afternoon the l2- year-old daughter of respectable farmer named Fletcher Jones, who lives about four miles east of Clanton, was playing near her father's home, when she was as- sailed by belion Of the African tribe and hurried away to a swamp near at hand.
 Her screams for help brought her father to the scene just in time to save her from she clutches of the demon in black. Not being armed he failed to capture the vil- lain, who disappeared through the dark ness of the undergrowth and for time saved himself from the punish ment of an enraged community.
 A search was immediately instituted by large number of citizens and the band grew in proportion as the hours went by. After dilieent search of thirty-six hours the negro was found this morning about ten miles northwest of Clanton sleeping beside the public road He was bound hand and foot and carried to the scene of his vandalism. He was recognized beyond mistake as the negro who was wanted.
 1t was also learned before arriving at Mr. Jones' place that he had made sim liar assault, which proved unsuccessful, just previous to the one in question. He was the prisoner of fearless mob, who brought him through the streets of the county seat en route to the scene of his crime.
 An hour later his soul was on wings for that barren waste set apart for demons who would spoil the virtue oi the fair women and children ofour land.

CAPTAIN KOLB
Indicts an Open Letter to Colonel Oates-Wants the Colonel to
 Write a Letter, Too.

The Jeffersonians have all sorts of ways of trying to make the people believe that the wicked democrats are fixing up 10 count them out. A favorite scheme is to write open letters to the democratic committees and candidates asking them to join in re- quests to county officers to be honest. The other day MT. Skaggs sent one to Colonel Tompkins. Now Captain Kolb writes one to Colonel Oates. Here it is, and a wormy old chestnut it is becoming:
 HON. w. c. 0ATEs-Dear Sir: There is a prevalent apprehension and dread in this state, which is shared by it's best citizens, that the election to be held the first Monday in August will not be conducted with fair ness and impartiality.
 As the representatives of the two parties 1t would certainly behoove both of us to do all in our power to assure clear and un- disputed title 10 the officers, as well as to alay all dangers from this alleged menace. Of COT rse recognize the fact that neither of us have any authority over the officers, nor any right to assume that either of us can control their actions; but each of us can make request and insist upon it's compliance by our respective friends, and I feel satisfied that it will be efficacious in accomplishing the result sought. Should it fail we would have the consciousness of an honest and patriotic effort to fulfill the desires of our respective friends in this par ticular.
 therefore request that you give me m open letter to the county officers and all others who shall perform any duty in the management of the election. requesting them, in behalf of our respective tickets, 10 faithfully do all in their power to assure perfect fairness and impartiality toward each party in every act of theirs, which shall affect the management of the election or the declaration of the result.
 am pleased to note that your public dec larations before your nomination for "an honest election end fair count,' and that you .swould not have the office of gov ernor, if not honestly and fairly elected, ' and feel confident that this request will meet your hearty appreciation and indorse- ment.
 Permit me to assure you that my friends in every section Of the state approve this course on my part, and that they will take pleasure in faithfully complying with any reasonable request l may make, intended to assure this result. Very truly yours,
 k. F. KoLB.

MONEY ORDER FEES
Have Been Reduced-The New Scale of Prices--The Postal Note
 Died Yesterday.

It remained for a dem ocratic admi istra- ton to give attention to the needs of the public in the matter of convenience and se- curity of transmitting money through the postoffice department. The matter of cheap postage and other improved methods of rapid and cheap transit of mails have been given attention from time to time, and probably today no nation on earth en- jcys like advantages in this respect 1t has had the effect of increasing enormously the correspondence of the nation and has aided materially in the advancement of ed- ucation and enlightenment among the peo- pie.
 will put on the market the recently inn proved money order forms. The charges in the matter of fees have been reduced about 85 per cent. The following section of the postal laws and regulations, recently amended, sets forth the new table of fees:
 Section 1248. No single money order shall be issued for more than $100, and the lees to be charged and exacted for domestic money orders are as follows, to-wit:
 For orders not exceeding $2 50, cents.
 For orders exceeding .60 and not ex- ceeding $5, 5 cents.
 For orders exceeding s5 and not exceeding $10, cents.
 For orders exceeding S1o and not exceed ing $20, 10 cents.
 For orders exceeding $20 and not exceed ing $50, 12 cents.
 For orders exceeding $50 and not exceed ing $40, 15 cents.
 For orders exceeding $40 and not ex- ceeding $50, IS cents.
 For orders exceeding $50 and not exceed ing $60, 20 cents. $ For orders exceeding s6O and not exceed ing $75, 25 cents-
 For orders exceeding s75 and not exceed ing $100, 30 cents.
 By the same act of congress the postal note has been abolished. Although a con. venience in sending small odd amounts, it has been ascertained by an experience of several years that 1t has cost the people dearly in losses. It furnished the pur- chaser no protection whatever, as it was made payable to bearer and any person could cash it. During the life of this freak of the postoffice department the Birming- ham office issued 62 200 of them.
 It has been ascertained that the average amount of postal notes purchased is S2 50 and hereafter money orders to that amount will be issued at 8 cents.
 It is believed that the new order of things will greatly increase the business of tn @ money order department, since it has been brought more in touch with the people and made more responsive to the commercial and business interests of the general pub

 AN OUTING.
 Last Wednesday afternoon onr reporter met on the Georgia Pacific train and was introduced to very merry party of boys and girls who were just returning from two weeks camping out in the woods near Parish, on the Georgia Pacific railroad in Walker county.

Dude Spooner, Hezekiah Lose Coat and Accommodation Tonics. The names of course seem to be camp names and are not known to the general public. Nor is Mir. Billy Blue Shirt, and yet the re- pporter found him to be a most charming sadpopular official of the Georgia Pacific.

 In reference to the American Protective association the platform of the Illinois democratic state convention says:
 ssHostility to secret political societies is a tenet of the democratic faith, which is fundamental, and, standing by this doc Urine now, as in the days when the party presented an unbroken front to the cohorts of knownothingism and finally crushed that detestable organization, the democ- racy of Illinois denounces as cowardly, un- patriotic and dangerous to the peace and happiness of this country the A.
