plan was adopted The next representa- tives to the general assembly will take the result as their instructions. It is thought here that the contest for senator will be close. Morgan seems to be the favorite and from present indications will carry the county.
 Some were of the opinion that Johnston would want a third term and refused to express themselves on the result of the fight for governor The Age-Herald's s special from Montgomery stating that Johnston would not be candidate for gov ernor tended to allay this feeling, however, and 1t is now a question of Johnston or Morgan for United States senator.
 At the time of the committees action they claim to have had no information as to Johnstons candidacy for the senate, but thought that an early primary in Jackson would tend to straighten out the bemud- died condition in state politics and let the people know the entries in the coming con- test. It is believed here that Johnston and Cunningham will now have to come out in- to the open field and show their hand.
 In Jackson county there will be no con- vention. The voters will vote directly for their choice of candidates and the man re- ceivng the largest number will be allowed to select his delegates. B. C. B.

 Messrs. Brown and Bottinger, civil en- gtneers of tine Louisville and Nashville railway, are in the city today inspecting the masonry and taking the elevations of the bridge across the Alabama river at this point looking toward the use of the structure by the Louisville and Nashville in entering the city directly from Pensa- cola, the branch between Pineapple and Repton having been completed At this time the road from Pineapple crosses the bridge of tine Western Alabama about nine miles above Selma, but the hope Is that tine Louisville and Nashville will cross the Alabama right at Selma, and, entering here, proceed on up the Cahaba valley to Birmingham, thus saving the necessity of double tracking the system from Birming- ham to the gulf.
 Committees have been appointed and tho preliminary steps taken for a street fair to be held in Selma about the latter part of October. Selma proposes to have the grandest carnival in her history, and, as she never does anything by halves. is sure of success.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT
Boy Killed in Runaway Stoneking
 Trial at Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa, August 1S.-Yes terday a shocking accident occurred which resulted In the death of the little son of Policeman J. P. Sims. Clifton, the oldest child of MT. Sims, aged about or 9 years, was sent on an errand on horse. His younger sister was with him and when they had returned and were directly in front of their home, the horse bucked and threw them both to the ground The little girl was badly hurt but not seriously. Cliftons head, however, struck a stone. Concussion of the brain was caused, and though physician was summoned, death ensued in short while. MI. Sims is a trusted police officer, who is detailed for night duty at the Alabama Great Southern depot. and the community is shocked at his sudden bereavement.
 The Stoneking trial is engaging the at- tention of the public again. Nearly two years ago Alvin Stoneking shot and killed MT J. s. Lallande near the McLester hotel office. MT. Lallande was a member of the firm of Dunn & Lallande, contractors, en- gagged in the construction of the Mobile and Ohio railroad. He was a gentleman who had won the liking and esteem of all with whom he. came in contact. MT. Lallande
 
 earlier in the day, and Lallande had re- fused to drink with Stoneking. This en- ragged Stoneking who had been drinking heavily and he deliberately went to Allen & Jemison's and bought pistol. Two hours later Stoneking entered the entry of the White Elephant saloon, and seeing Lal- lande said: Square yourself, Lallande,'' ,'' and shot him. Lallande fell and died al- most instantly. What made the affair seem more terrible, was that Mir. Lal- landes two little motherless children and his mother were passing and saw the deed. Indignation ran high in Tuscaloosa for some time. Stoneking was tried and sen- fenced to several years Imprisonment. The case was carried to the supreme court and a new trial was granted. The case has been continued several times but the judge this time refused longer delay, and the trial is therefore in progress. The defend- ant is represented by MT. A. B. McEachin, and Colonel Sam W. John, of Birming- ham, and the state by Messrs Vandegraff and Werner.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results from a mothers ignorance; or more frequently from mothers neglect to properly instruct her daughterl
 Tradition says woman must suffer, '" and young women are so taught. There is little truth and great deal of exaggeration in this. If young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it.
 Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to physician for examina- ton; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass.
 The following letterfrom Miss MARIE F. JoHNsoN, Centralia, Pa., shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her:
 ."My health became so poor that l had to leave school. was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my SlQe ana udch. was uASO ooup with irregularity of menses. l was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed.

by the collector there are uncollected taxes to the sum of $S12.07, state and county, with which to meet this indebtedness. The above sums are due after deducting com- missions and adding interest.
 "There are hereto attached exhibits A. B. c. D. and E., which are asked to be considered with this report.
 Exhibit A. is a detailed statement of Hendey for the year 1898 and not accounted for. Total state, special state, poll and county, $29506.
 Exhibit B. is a detailed statement of taxes assessed and collected by him for the tax year 1897, and not accounted for. Total, $1G6.O6.
 Exhibits c. and D. are statements of taxes which his stub books show were assessed and collected by him at the in- stance of Tax Commissioner Teague, who has since died. The representative of Col lector Hendley expressed a doubt as to the collection of these, saying that after assessment in many such cases, MT. Teague instructed him to dismiss them as erroneous, and he was impressed that all these sums were thus disposed of. My in- vestigations, however, disclosed the fact that the sums in exhibit c. were collected beyond a doubt, having hunted up the re- ceipts in several cases and in others have received letters from tax payers stating that they were paid I addressed letters of inquiry to all the tax payers named, en- closing stamp for reply. Several have not yet replied. The total of exhibit c. is $123.4S, and of exhibit D. $5396
 Collector Hendley's stub books show him due much more than is charged to him. Many items, however, were shown not to have been collected and others were not charged on the statement of his rep resentation that they were not collected.
 "The collector stated that he had had but little to do with the conCuct of the office, one of his sons having carried on the business. Hence, in my examinations, l re- ferred to the latter all matters on which sought information. It was shown that in the conduct of the office, all taxes were en- tered up on receipts and corresponding stubs, the receipts detached and carried out for collection. In many cases in which collections were not made, the receipt was mislaid or lost"

 Drawn.
CONTEST FOR SENATORSHIP
For Which the People Vote Direct Will Probably be the Hottest Fight Senator Morgan is a Fa-
 vorite in County

Scottsboro, August 1s.-(Special. )-Since the unprecedented action of the Jackson county executive committee in calling primary for December 15 politics have taken an animated turn in Scottsboro A United States senator and governor will be voted for direct and everybody in High Jackson Is interested in the outcome of this remarkable primary. The candidates are expected in the mountains at an early date. Hon. Jesse Stallings has already ar rived and has begun systematically to drive down his gubernatorial pegs. Later he will make more active canvass through out the county. As this is the first county to speak out without waiting for action on the part of the state executive committed the fight for governor and United States senator will likely be precipitated at an early date. The contest will in all proba- bility center on Jackson, as each candi- date is naturally anxious to draw first blood
 The editorials in The Age-Herald Br- mingham News and Mobile Register reached here last night and were read with interest. They were widely commented on, and the local editors reproduced those from the Birmingham papers.

A Street Duel

The extreme quietness existing in Mont gomery during the summer months was disturbed this morning by a street duel, the weapons used being double-barreled shot gun and large, ugly pistol. The duelists were J. J. Reasonover and Charles Ray. Both men were wounded and Ray has a very slim chance for recovery.
 For several months the participants have been at outs, and the culmination this morning was not altogether unexpected. Early in the year Ray was tried in the city court on a charge of grand larceny, and Reasonover was a witness against him. It is said that after Ray was acquitted he went to Reasonover and told him that he had sworn a lie against him, and that his life would pay the penalty. Since this time several parties have heard Ray threaten Reasonover's life.
 Reasonover came to the city from his home at Oak Grove this morning, bringing with him his shotgun, loaded with No. bird shot, He went to a saloon in Court street. Soon afterwards Ray came up the two men meeting face to face. When within about fifteen paces of Ray, Reason over leveled his gun and fired both barrels, one load taking effect in Rays neck and the other in the left shoulder. Several per- sons on tine street were struck by stray shot. Reasonover stepped into Gardner's saloon, and as he turned Ray fired one shot with his pistol, the bullet making a flesh wound in Reasonover's thigh. Ray fell in- to the arms of a policeman. He was car red to his home, and his wounds dressed He is not expected to live. Reasonover nJoty "a hQfnra fired attempt to draw pistol.
 Both men are under bond, charged with assault with intent, to murder.
