E. L. HIGDON WAS ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH BREAKING QUARAN-
 TINE REGULATIONS.
New Orleans-Were Shipped Yesterday to LouisvilIe-win Be Tried Today.

ID. L. Higdon, Morris avenue commis- sion merchant, will be tried in police court this morning for violating the yell low fever quarantine laws.
 One week ago MT. Higdon ordered and had brought to Birmingham from New Orleans car load of cocoanuts. The nuts were brought here in refrigerator car, were chilled and had been fnmgated with sulphur, according to the story of MT. Higdon.
 The cocoanuts were disposed of to re- tail merchants, and Chief Quarantine Officer Wiggins said some fear had been created among the people who knew of the occurrence.
 'I telegraphed and asked if the car could be safely brought here," said MT. Higdon. "When I was notified that it could by the authorities of the Louisville and Nashville railroad I felt secure.
 "Certainly, if I had felt that there was the least danger, would never have had the car brought here.''
 Officer Wiggins acted in accordance with the mayors proclamation, and Capt. Amerine said that the act was in viola tfon of the state regulations.
 The cocoanuts were placed in a car yesterday and shipped on to Louisville.

weeks absence of rain. Richand creek, which in reality should be termed a river, because of it's size, is nothing more than a succession of shallow pools. Never before in the recollection of the oldest inhabltant has Rlchland been so nearly dry. Crops have been greatly damaged, much stock so seriously injur- ed as to be almost beyond va1us, and in fact sickness has occurred to an aarm- ing extent owing to the ineessant drought. Just think of it, only one small sprinkle in eight weeks. Why. I know of one man from your section, a dealer in cattle, who had to pay 50 cents g. barrel for water, so scarce was the ar tiele. In our business alone we have been damaged fully 60 per cent"

COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION.
Quite A Number of Asplrants for Military
 Honors.

There is great rivalry among the young aspirants for military honors over the approaching competitive exam ination for the appointment to the United States military academy at West Point.
 Representative Underwood has de- cided to give any and every young man in the district a chance for this place; and the man who gets the appointment will get 1t on his merits alone. A num- Der have announced their intention of competing, many from the different counties in this district. Among those from Birmingham are Denson, Leedy Loceman, Loventhal, Howze, Henry, Hudson, Frank w. Smith and Hall.
 The examination is set for Dec. 1, at 10 a. m, at the court house. The exam iration board consists of Prof. I. w. McAdory, chairman; Prof. A. J. Wa1drop, and another to be selected.

WANT AN INVESTIGATION.
White Shields and Trade Council in Joint
 Meeting.

The school question: was the subject of discussion at joint meeting of the committees representing the White Shields and the Trades Council last night.
 It was decided to demand an investi- gation of the books of the public schools which it is claimed have not been ex- amined in fifteen years. The following resolution was passed and the commit tee will meet again Monday night:
 Be It resolved, That it be made known through the public press that the bodies represented in this meeting will protect every child of school age in his or her right to attend the public schools of Bir- mingham free of charge and tuition and without the humiliation of confess ing their inability to pay a tuition fee and any child who is debarTed from at tending the public schools because of failure to pay tuition fee shall be pro- tected in his or her rights and such le- gal steps as are necessary win be taken by the two bodies represented to secure such rights.
