TWO COMPANIES RENDERED.
No Trouble Expected in Furnishing the States
Quota Under Second CALL

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald
Montgomery, June 25.-Adjutant-Gen
Regain has received the tender of two
companies of negro volunteers, in accord
ance with the governors proclamation of
yesterday. Several other tenders of
similar character have been made to Gov
ernor Johnston, but they have not con-
formed to the conditions of the proclama-
ton and will have to be made in the pre-
scribed way before they are accepted.
1t is believed that the governor Will re-
ceive offers of many more than enough
men to fill to the maximum the eight
companies called for.
It has been decided at Washington that
when each accepted company is ready,
Lieutenant M. o. Hollis, United States
mastering officer, and one Of the assistant
surgeons appointed by the governor, shall
proceed to the home station of the COM
pany and muster it in there ordering 1t
Immediately to Mobile. This is entirely in
the spirit of the governors proclamation,
and will prevent confusion and save the
expense of sending to Mobile men unfit for
military duty.
The governor some time ago appointed
the assistant surgeon to the eolored pat
TALON formed under the first call, ana VIII
appoint one for each of the two battalions
now being organized For the purpose or
examining these assistant surgeons, the
governor has appointed DIR. j. Fl. Mattel,
of Montgomery, and DR.. H. G. Fonde and
DR., E. L. Marechal, of Mobile.

SPARKLING PURE WATER.
The Birmingham Ice Factory Company Has
Solved the Problem

With the usal enterprise that has always
charac terized the Birmingham Ice Factory
company they are now prepared to furnish
the public with quality of table water
that can not be eXcelled anywhere. The
double distilled water that they are now
readyto put on the market is fully in line
with the advanced hygienic ideas of the
leading cities in the north and west, where
exclusive use of distilled water among the
more intelligent families has prevailed for
some years.
Every one ought to appreciate the efforts
of the Ice Factory company and patronize
their new industry literally, which can
easily be done at the ridicuously low
price of the water.

AFTER THOUGHTS OF
COMMENCEMENT
BY EDWARD EUGENE KERsH

Tuscaloosa, June 25-"Is this what the
alumni gathers for every year?" asked
politician of party of about fifteen of the
alumni of the university, who We're seated
in front of the McLester house one evening
this week. A glance at the party revealed
the fact that about dozen of them were
candidates for solicitors in different cir
cults, and 1t was natural this politician
should have thought them discussing poll
tics But such was not the case. While
there were by actual count nineteen candi-
dates for solicitorships In attendance at the
sixty-seventh annual commencement they
did not have an opportunity to discuss their
races. Legislative nominees for the most
part stayed away. The suggestion of the
politician brings to light an interesting fact
that the great old university is justly very
proud; her sons are today in tho front rank
in positions of state and when an alumnus
becomes q candidate he can always count
on the "old university boys" standing by
him in his aspirations. Truly they are
a power in the state.
1t was very gratifying to the old boys
who came back for commencement this
year to find university affairs so much i'm
proved over recent years. 1t is wonderful
to comprehend the amount of work that
has been accomplished by President Pow
ers during his first year in charge. He
undertook his work with the determination
to make Alabamas state university what it
should be-a credit to our great state. His
great strides to this end was the general
topic of discussion among the alumni this
week, and what the members of the board
of trustees think Of him is best attested by
their action in acting favorably on all of

DEATH OF CAPT.
R. G. M'FARLAND
Result of Injuries Received : ~. in a
Personal Encounter.
A WELL-KNOWN JOURNALIST
Through His Paper He Opposed the Re-EIec-

Him by McCure's Son.
A WELL-KNOWN JOURNALIST
Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Age-terald.
Florence, June 25.-Roland c. Mcfarland
one of the foremost young men of this
city, died last night from the effects of
injuries received in an encounter on last
Saturday night in the office of Probte
Judge Mcclure of this county. Mcclure,
his son and perhaps others are believed
TO have contributed to McFarland's death,
and the probabilities are that further trout
BILE will ensue, as the EDITORS friends are
highly indignant.
A democratic primary for county officers
was held in Lauderdale last Saturday
The greatest interest conferred in the NOM
nation of a probate judge. The present
incumbent, Judge Mcclure, stood for re-
nomination and was opposed by Hon. Tur-
ner Rice, a young citizen of high charac-
ter. The contest grew exceedingly close
and considerable bitterness was engender-
ed Mcfarland was a vigorous writer and
courageous although some times intem-
perate in his editorials. He lined up
strongly on Rice's side and undertook to
prove through his newspaper that NC
Clure was unfit for reelection.
(. Charged Mcclure With Drunkenness
He charged the incumbent with drunken
ness and general incompetency. ABOUT Il
O'Clock Saturday night Mcfarland went
alone and unarmed, it is said, to the pro-
bate office to secure the returns from the
election for use in his newspaper SHORTY
afterward he was found unconscious on the
street near by. He was carried home ana
his wounds were carefully dressed, but his
skull was fearfully broken, as though by
a succession of heavy blows 1t is stated,
and he fingered as stated until last night
He had only a few lucid moments after
his encounter and his condition at no time
justified his making a connected antlmor-
TEN statement His friends insist that the
McClures and perhaps several of their
friends upon Netherlands entering the
Office locked the door, demanded that he
retract some statement he had made, and,
upon his refusal to do so, hammered his
skull into fragments.
Decline to Talk of the Case
The McClures decline to make any state
ment pending a preliminary examination,
and the several witnesses who were pres
ent and who were sympathizers with Nc
Cures candidacy, also decline to testify at
this time. Upon what foundation the
claims of Netherlands friends, as to the
circumstances of the assault, rest therefore
is not apparent unless it is upon the dis
connected statements of the victim
Mcfarland was young man, not exceed
ing "a or %, and had a considerable follow
ing in the county He was son of the
late Captain Robert Mcfarland, of Lauder
dale one of the foremost lawyers of the
North Alabama bar. He has two brothers
and number of exceedingly close friends.
1t is feared there may be further trouble.
