 Two Years and One Month.

Two Years and One Month.
 Russellville, May 25-(Special Corre- spondence)-Spring term of the circuit court for Franklin county adjourned this morning. Judge John c. Anderson of De- mopolis presided this week for Judge Roulhac and made a most favorable impression. Though comparatively young man. he is one of the ablest judges on the circuit court bench. There was a heavy. criminal docket, which with a few exceptions, was cleared. This was Solicitor Carmichaeps first official visit to Franklin, and he, too, was highly commended for the able manner in which he conducted all prosecutions.
 Sid Hooper was tried and convicted for the murder some months ago of Jack Martin and was santenced to serve two years and one month in the penitentiary. This was the most interesting case of the week, and during the entire progress of the trial the court room was packed with eager spectators to hear the evidence and the able argu- ments in the case. The prosecution was conducted by Solicitor A. H. Carmichael and Senator Ed B. Almon. Judge George c. Almon and Hon. William I. Bullock appeared for the defense.

Comrade to Save Him.
 Demopolis, May 24.-(Special Corre- spondence) )-For the third time within the last three weeks a life has been lost from drowning in this vicinity This
 time the accident happened to cabin
 boy on the Hattie B. Moore. The steam- CT had just landed at our wharf, when
 Nathan Brown, the unfortunate boy, got
 out his fishing line and went to the side guard of the boat to enjoy little fish ing. Several persons saw him stand up, as if he intended throwing his line, when suddenly he lost his balance and fell overheard.
 The alarm was at once given, and an-
 other colored boy, named Archie An derSon, assistant cook ran to the rescue.
 He leaned over the side and grasped the head of the struggling Nathan, but instead of pulling him up he was him. self pulled overheard. He says that the drowning man-had graspeds him around
 the legs and pinned his arms so that 1t
 was impossible for him to do anything toward saving either of them. Recog- nizing that unless he freed himself they would both be drowned, he made deS- perate effort and tore alOose. A line was thrown him and he was pulled on board, Nathan sinking for the last time. Boats were immediately put out, and a search begun for the body. As the acci-
 dent occurred in an eddy, it was thought
 that there would be no doubt about re- covering it, Ddt after drag ggln9 eh0f- ougniy every inch of the ground without
 success, Captain stone had the boat tied
 up and ran the wheel churning up the water furiously, but no sign of the body
 was seen. Marshal Monnier got out our
 cannon, and is now firing over the spot where he was last seen.
 Nathan was said to have been good
 boy, standing high in his class He was an Odd Fellow, and his home was in Columbus, Ga.

UNION SPRINGS.
Reports From Crops Slightly Discouraging
 Personal and General.

Union Springs, May 25.-(Special Cor
 respondence.)-The reports from the
 farmers are not so encouraging The
 past week has been very unfavorable for
 the growth of the crops. The weather
 has been for the most part cloudy, cold
 and damp. While the rainfall has not
 been excessive, it is too wet t6 make
 much headway. Cotton chopping is all
 most done, and the stands are consid- cred good, but the nights have been en-
 tirely too cool and the young plants look
 sickly. The crops are not advanced enough to tell what the final outcome will be, but no serious damage has as yet been done The gardens are quite good, and the fruit crop still promising Our people cannot understand Gov
 ernor Oates delay in appointing a jus- tice of the peace for this beat. One is very much needed, and it is to be hoped that he can reach a decision soon. The Simon Fishing club, composed of
 Messrs. N. H. Frazer P. H. Coleman, w. w. Rainer, G. A. Hanson, A. D. Fielder and D. F. Sessions returned last | night from their annual outing to Kings
 mills. They report, despite the cold weather a fine catch, and a most en- | joyable trip.
 A great many of our people took ad- vantage of the low rates to visit friends and relatives in Texas. The veterans were well represented, and we see it stated that next to Texas Alabama has the largest delegation in the city of
