 It speaks well for the ladies of Mobile and Birmingham. that they are interest ing themselves in the establishment of a reformatory in this state for young crim- inals. The state of Texas has an in stitution of this kind near Gatesville, and it is doing a good work for the reclama- tion of criminals of this class. If the ladies. who are interested in this subject, would write to the superintendent of the reformatory at Gatesville. Tex, they would be furnished with information which would be useful to them in their efforts to induce the legislature to es- tablish on institution of this kind in Ala bama.

Horrlfying ragedies-Knocked From
 His Wonderful Power
 Troy Jan. 1l.--(Special Correspondence --One of the most horrifying tragedies which has ever occurred in Pike county took place at Galloway & Bowden's mill, near Tennille, one day last week. Wal lace Daughtry, a young man about P years of age, son of Mr. H. c. Daughtry, was employed about the log carriage. As it was being backed, by some means he stumbled and fell in Its way and was pushed upon the rapidly revolving saw. The lower part of his body was terribly mangled, one foot was cut completely off, and the opposite leg severed just below the hip joint, yet strange to say he lived some time-report says two hours-after the accident, being conscious most of the time He was a hard working, honest and exemplary young man and his hor- bible and untimely death is regretted by all who knew him. His sorrowing fami- ly have the sympa thy of many friends In their bereavement.

Several Mining Camps Opened Up--New

 Edwardsville. Jan. 12.-(Special Corre- spondence.) At last the great parphyry gold ore contact has been opened A party of miners have sunk in the past two weeks a shaft fifty feet through two contacts and dropped down on a large body of gold ore that assays six ounces 10 the ton. The gold ore is a black parphyri,ic hornblend. and has been cut seven feet and no wall. There is red dish parphyry on the hanging, but it is all ore, as 1t is full of clarides of silver and black oxides of copper and carrying some gold, enough to pay to work. All the parties have a bonanza in sight. The ore system has been traced for two miles south across the Tallapoosa river. The ore contact is about 100 feet inside, where the river cuts the system at right angles. The district will be called Dyne Creek district and it is now anticipated that there will be a town site laid off to be .ealled Denman City.
 There has been several pieces of prop erty opened up, among which are the 1n- dependence. Consolidated King, and Anaconda and Denman mine.
 The Wess Armstrong mine has fbeen sold for $5,000.
 There has been a shaft sunk on the largest body of kaolin in the United States. It has been carried to depth of forty-two feet.
 In the near future you may expect something startling from this district.
 The Echols mine is now down 140 feet and in good ore.
 Tom Roberts mine, the Independence, is down twenty feet and vein matter Is nine feet wide.
 The board of trustees for the Edwards vile school district held their first meet ing last Monday evening and elected Jas. B Merrill, president, and P. A. Howle secretary. The trustees have decided to have a new school building erected at once, but have not decided where they will put it-several locations are being examined and a selection will be made sometime in the near future. This means that Edwardsville Is going to have one of the best schools in Alabama.
