A. Study of the Returns

study of these figures, though very in
complete gives some interesting results.
In the first place, Lowe carried six of the
nine city boxes by a vote of 9S3 to 7S9; a
majority of 1874.
OF the mining and manufacturing beats of
Johns, Bethlehem, Wylam. Iskooda, Ems
ley, Warrior, Coalburg, Brookside, Flat
Creek, New Castle, Pratt City, Gate City
vote Of S57 to 1856; majority of 12l. There
are still seven boxes of this character to be
heard from.
The remaining ten boxes heard from,
Jonesboro, lIlyton, East Lake, Greene's,
Trussvile, Argo, Bessemer, Avondale,
Woodlawn and North Birmingham, which
includes the residence suburbs of Birming-
ham and Bessemer, and some country
beats, give Hewitt 1855 votes and Lowe, 572;
majority of 213, OF this class there are still
about twepty-six boxes to be heard from,
though whether they will continue to go for
Hewitt, as he claims, remains to be seen.
The. vote cast yesterday was very much
larger than was expected it would be. The
returns already show 4,722 democrats to
have voted yesterday and as sta led, thirty

TERMINATED FATALLY
Practical Joke of Barber Randall
SegerS

The moral of practical jokes is plainly
pointed out in the case of Randall Segers,
the barber who was shot on Monday night
while in the act of trying to frighten his
former employer, B. Fl. Bell, who mistook
him for a burglar.
Segers died at the FIlllman hospital early
yesterday morning from the effect of the
wound he received at the hands of Bell
who greatly regrets the fatal occurrence.
1t was published in The Age-Herald at
the time Segers went to Bells house in
Smithfield where he had boarded during
the term of his employment, to get some
effects, and when Bell opened the door,
jumped at him. Not being able to see him
in the dark and supposlng him to be
burglar, Bell shot him, the bullet taking
effect in the left breast, coming out in the
back.
Segers' remains were taken in charge by
the Warner-Smiley Undertaking company,
and will be shipped to Admission this morn-
ing for interment.

IN THE FRONT RANK
Stands Well Known Piano, Organ and
o. Machine House

No house can build up and maintain a
of fair dealings, unless it gives its GUS
toners full value for their money. To gain
the confidence and good will of the public
a house must sell only goods which they
can recommend and which are just as they
are represented to be. No house enjoys the
confidence of the people of Alabama moro
deservedly than the well-known house of
E. E. Forbes. This firm has large stores
in both Birmingham and Montgomery. Mr..
J. II. Holcombe has charge of the Birming-
ham house; how successful he has been can
be judged by the large and increasing trade
the house enjoys.
Their commodious warerooms are filled
with pianos. organs, musical Instruments of
various kinds to suit all classes of trade.
They represent a number of the best known
piano makers in the world. chief among
which are the Kranich and Bach, Kpabe
and Conover The Kranich and Bach instru-
mcnt possesses a worldwide reputation and
Is Endorsed by numerous artists. 1t IS a
beautiful piece of furniture and of rare
tone and mellowness. Their other pianos
and organs are all standard makes and are
as good as the prices warrant.
Everett Bacon, graduate of the New
England Conservatory of Music, is con-
nected with this firm. He tunes their in
struments and the firm makes special year.
" contracts with individuals and schools
to keep their pianos and organs properly
tuned and repaired.
The sewing machine which they recon-
mend most highly is the Standard Rotary
Sewing Machine, probably the most popu-
lar machine of the market, by reason of
high running power, its convenienees and
durability. Apl 1890.

1T WAS LAST DAY
Chief Clerk Tarrent Issued 26a
Licenses.

Yesterday was the last day on which
state and county license underline new rev.
enue. bill could be takn out without incur
ring a penalty and in consequence of the
rush the probate Office was kept busy from
early morning until o'clock last night.
Chief Clerk Geo. Farrant, who has
charge of the license, department, issued
263 licenses and collected over $1,000, besids
the bicycle license, which closed with a
total of 31S3 issued. AT 20 cents each the
state will derive a revenue of $i95.75 from
bicycles alone from, Jefferson county, which
is probably more than all the other coun-
ties put together.

Thirteen Of Twenty Mining
Beats for Lowe by 121.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM FINAL VICTORY
In the Ten Suburban and Country Boxes
Heard From, Hewitt Gets Major.
ity of 2l3 = 20 More of
Them to Come In

The smallest democratic primary election
considering the small number of candi-
dates-ever held in Jefferson county, GER
tainly in late years, was the contest yes
terday between Robert j. Lowe and r. G.
Hewitt for the sixth place on the Jeffer-
son delegation to the constitutional con-
vention. At midnight thirty-two beats had
been heard from, giving Lowe 2,412 votes,
and Hewitt 2,S1O. There are fthirty-three
boxes still to be heard from.
Nearly every one is familiar with the
causes of this odd primary When the
original primary was held several weeks
ago, and there. were twenty candidates
running, Mr.. Hewitt's and Mr.. loves
names were tied for the sixth place, each
candidate having received 2,119 votes. A
recount of the votes in the boxes was
made, which showed Mr.. Hewitt to be some
twenty-five votes ahead. But the COM
mittee making the recount said that their
work had been done in an imperfect
manner and that only about half of the
boxes had any OF the ballots in them. For
this reason they reported back to the ex-
ecutive committee that the face of the
returns showed a tie between Mr.. Hewitt
and Mr. Lowe, and left it to the commit
tee to decide which OF 1.-THE two was the
nominee. Mr. Hewitt and Mr.. Lowe both
agreed to another primary between them
Selves and this was the contest yesterday.

PAY DAY AT MINES
Miners I'D of Pratt City Serenaded
Birmingham Yesterday Afternoon

Yesterday. was pay day at Pratt, Blue
Creek, Blocton, Hargrove, Belle Ellen, and
other mining towns of the district and the
miners came into the city in great numbers
after they were paid off.
One of the features of the day was the
playing. of the miners band from Pratt
City, who "serenaded the town. for several
hours in the afternoon. Dressed in
their brand new uniforms. red caps and
blouses, and blue trousers with yellow
stripes, they first serenaded the general Of
fees of the Tennessee company on Morris
avenue, after which they began their
march through the city. They made
exceptionally good music, and attracted a
great deal of attention.

For the Hillman Hospital = Selection
Not Yet Made

Plans for the IIillman hospital, which is
to be erected at the corner of Fourth ave-
nue. and Eighteenth street at a cost of $780,
GOO, are in the hands of the executive COM
mittee. Some time ago it was decided to
invite the local architects to submit plans,
from which the selection would be made.
The limit was fixed. at Friday April IA,
and en- yesterday the executive board met
at the rooms of the Commercial club to
open the plans, of which quite number
had been submitted. In view of the fact
that they were all meritorious it was decid-
ed to go over them carefully before making
the selection, which will probably be done
during the week. AS soon as the selection
is made contractors will be asked for bids
for the construction of the building.

Although Woford canno. do any
thing much in the football line
this season, she will be in front by
this time next fall. Some of the

The Freshman class this fall is
larger than last years Flesh
class. All of the cottages and
nearly al the rooms n the college
and professors houses are full.
The Sophomores, my classmates,
do not tease the Fresh too much,
and the outlook is encouraging for
successful college session. The
college Y. M. c. A. is in good con-
dition, though there are not quite
as many members as it had at this
time last fall. MY class is as large,
almost, as it was in its Fresh year,
there are several new members this
session.
There is good custcm here at
.Wofford of having the members Of
the Sophomore and Junior classes
speak on the rostrum during chapel
exercisesevery day. The Juniors
begin, and speaks in alphabetical
order, then the Sophs take it up.
Prof Snyder, our brilliant English
lProfe sees to it that every one
makes a speech. By having one
speech day, every one speaks two
or three times during the collegiate
session.
There are six young ladies at
tending Wofford now, two each in
the Junior, Sophomore and Fresh
C. n classes. Some of them are
pretty ard smart and vice versa.
Among the Edgefeld county
Iboys here are Mr. Shaw Asbell and
