MEETING OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Of Girls Industrial School at Monteval- lo-Arthur Jones Paroled-C Tor Smith Qualifes-Special
 Term of Supreme Court.

Montgomery, September 15.-(Special.)- Assistant Examiner of Public Accounts James G. Cowan has filed with the govern or his report on the books of J. c. King, ex-circuit clerk of Butler county, and the present clerk, J. H. Bargainer
 The report King covers the period from November, 1892, to April, 1897, when he resigned There are numerous small TOTS reported in the books amounting in the whole to about $2OO. MT. King will make a settlement for all errors reported. The examination of Clerk Bargainer's books covers the period from April, 1897, when he appointed by Governor John ston, to date.
 The examiner says:
 "He has reported and paid promptly into the treasury all solicitors fees, board bills refunded, and has conducted the business of his office strictly in accordance with the law, so far as this examination goes. His records fully indexed and kept in good condition. I have carefully examined the thirteen cost bills paid him by the state on account of defendants convicted and sen fenced to the penitentiary, and I detect errors In a former report referred to the charge made by some of the clerks for making final records in these cases, and stated that two dollars or two dollars and fifty cents was a full charge. l am con- vinced now that my estimate was too high. The average charge in these cases for mak- ing such records by MT. Bargainer is a fraction over one dollar and fifteen cents In no case has his charge exceeded $.30, and he was exceedingly accurate in his call culations. MT. Bargainers office is in ] fine condition"
 The Second Regiment
 The Second Alabama regiment will leave Jacksonville for Montgomery tomorrow af. ternCon, and will arrive in this city some time Saturday morning. A telegram to this effect has been received by Lieuten- ant Hollis, United States mastering off, cer
 The regiment will be kept at Riverside Park intact for a few days, and will the en be granted furloughs for thirty days, assembling at the expiration of that per- cd for the purpose of being mustered out or ordered elsewhere. The existing orders are that 1t shall be mustered out, but the orders may be changed at any time, as the men will remain in the service until form ally discharged.
 Tompkins' Successors
 On account of the several positions of trust and responsibility held in the busi- ness world of Montgomery by the lament ed Colonel H. c. Tompkins, there is much speculation as to his successors.
 It is said that MT. Martin Baldwin, the present able cashier of the First National bank, will be promoted to the presidency of that sterling institution; and that AL derman Jacob Griel will succeed Colonel Tompkins as president of the National Building and Loan association.
 Who is to succeed Colonel Tompkins as president of the Montgomery, Hayneville and Camden railroad is not yet known.
 Gir;s' Industrial School
 The board of trustees of the Girls Indus trial School at Montevallo was in session nt a,NtfA AI l1g xxrttl. fho fnI lowing meml . present:
 Senator Frai4-- 5. Moody of Tuscaloosa, Hon. Huriosco AuStill of Mobile, Hon. John Mcqueen of Birmingham, Congress- man Thomas H. Plowman of Talladega, Hon. Sol D. Bloh of Camden, Hon. H. A. Aston of Barbour, MT. w. w. Wadsworth of Chiffon, pr. J. O. Turner and Rev. o. P. Fitzsmmons from the state at large.
 The trustees are arranging to take steps to enlarge the already great usefulness of this phenomenally successful state institu- tion. Representative John Mcqueen, who, 1t will be remembered, successfully led the hard-fought battle in the house to estab- fish this school, has ust cause to be proud of his good work on that occasion. He says that already there are over 375 .fIpils rolled for next session, and that on account of limited accommodations and the very small state appropriation many applicants will have to be turned away. The state gives the university at Auburn $lO60OO Only $10,OO0 year is given to the School for Girls at Montevallo.
 Parole for Arthur Jones
 Arthur Jones of Madison county, a col ored boy, 14 years of age, who was con- throwing a rock in a train was fined $500, and in default of payment committed to jail At 30 cents day the boy would be held in jail something like six years, end the state would have to pay about $500 for his feed. The governor issued a parole, directing his immediate discharge. It seems that special act of the legislature gives justices jurisdiction of all misdemeanors, and hence the fine of $500 in the above case
 Chancellor Smith Qualities
 On the first of September the governor appointed Hon. Thomas H. Smith of Mo- bile, the chancellor-elect, to be chancellor of the Southwestern division, in the place of Hon. w. H. Taylor, resigned, and Chan
