APPLETON WINS
Was Appointed Probate Judge of Cher
 okee County

Montgomery, July 7.-CSpecial.)-T gov ernor ended the contest for the probate Judgeship of Cherokee county today. c. P. Appleton was the successful contestant MT. Appleton is at present register in chancery of Cherokee having been recently appointed by Chancellor Kelly. He is a lawyer and resides at Center.
 The democrats of Cherokee who were here today urging the claims of the various candidates seem very much surprised at the appointment, and it is another case of "cussing'' Johnston. They say that Ap- pleton was not endorsed by the democracy of Cherokee, and that his principal packer was I. W. Brock, the populist circuit clerk of Cherokee. The governor is charged with bad faith in refusing to appoint the man with the party endorsement.
 "I believe the whole matter was cut and dried ten days ago, and the governor had best have told so and let us go home,' is the way z. T. Lawrence, who was an ap- picant, expressed himself. "The will of the people of Cherokee has not been car ried out in the appointment, but we will show Johnston who controls the votes in the future," he continued. MT. Lawrence is former Johnston man.
 The disappointed applicants are: W. H. Burnett, z. T. Lawrence, Watts and Will Hanson.

FLOOD SITUATION s-sa
 IS IMPROVING
Many Reported to Have Been
 Drowned Are Appearing.
RIVER IS RAPIDLY FALLING
Shore for Hundred Miles Along Brazos Looks as if There Had Been Waterspout- Committee Still
 Distributing Rations.

Galveston, July 1.-The situation in the Brazos valley is rapidly improving. The river is falling. There is rumor that five lives were lost near Sartartia, in Fort Bend county, but the rumor lacks confirmation. The report sent out Wednesday from Brookshire, Waller county, that two lives hundred miles along the Brazos river. Those supposed to have been drowned per- sist in making the stories conflict by mak- ing an appearance.
 In fact it looks as if there had been a perfect water spout for more than one hundred miles along the rBazos river. Charles Wells, an intelligent coored man who owned his farm on the Brazos, and who lost everything he had except the naked land said this flood came in a wave that was nearly six feet high.
 At Brookshire the relief committee have opened a commissary and issue half ra- ton per capita. They have taken precau- tion so that only the deserving shall get these rations, and therefore they issue to the planter for all the tenants he had when the flood came. Those who owned their own farms and lost everything, as is the case with all of them, are allowed to draw their rations direct
 D. s. Cage, prominent citizen at Brook shire things it is not too late to plant cot ton, and he has ordered a car load of cot ton seed which he proposes to give to all who will plant and undertake to cultivate the crop. He says moreover, that crops of cotton, sorghum, kaffir corn, June corn and potatoes can be raised now if these people had the seed, but they have neither seed nor money, and he suggests that con- tributions of these seeds would help work out the salvation of these people. These crops would enable them to live until the beginning of next year, when they would be able to draw supplies from the mer- chants from the prospective crop. If these people don't attempt to raise another crop this year MT. Cage does not see anything ahead but starvation.
 There are rations enough at Brookshire to last for a week or more. The loss by drowned horses, mules and cattle is some thing enormous

BESSEMER.

Bessemer, July 7.-(Special.)-At a meet ing of the city democratic executive com mittee held last week those entitled to vote for a nominee for mayor in the coming primary were limited to those voters only who supported Underwood in the last con- gressional election. This limitation caused very general criticism, so much so that meeting of the committee was held last night to amend the resolution. The reso- lutions regarding the election now stand as follows:
 That a democratic primary be held on August ' to nominate a candidate for mayor.
 Any white democrat who did not support the republican candidate in the last con- Sressional election, or any democrat who will pledge himself to support the nominee of the primary election, is entitled to vote in said primary.
 The committeeman from each ward shall call mass meeting to-be held in their re- spective wards on the night of August to select five delegates from each ward to a convention to be held on the night of August to select twe~ candidates from each ward for aldermen.
 It seems to be generally understood here that A. Adler and H. r. DeBardeleben who are now in New York for the purpose of organizing company to mine ore and manufacture iron, intend as part of their scheme, to put in operation the large roll ing mill here long idle. This would mean practically 15OO or 2,00O additional population for Bessemer.

TALL LADEGA
Louis Spencer Daniel Made Great Inn
 pression at Chautauqua

Talladega, July 7.-(Special. .)-Louis Spen- cer Daniel, known throughout America as "the sunny haired lad from Tennessee" made his first appearance in the afternoon before a large and appreciatfve audience MT. Daniel came highly recommended and fully sustained his rank as one of the fore most entertainers of today. Although a young man, MT. Daniel is not merely an entertainer, but an artist of the higher type. His expression is from the heart, natural and unique his styles peculiar and fascinating; the audience were his friends as was proven by the liberal and almost continuous applause. Beginning with comedy, pure, dignified comedy, suddenly diving back into the masterpieces of such authors as Victor Hugo, then back into comedy again to send his hearers home in the best of humors. There are very few artists, nsen or women, who can carry so large an audience into laughter or sym pathy at his will. This he did. MT. Daniels voice is wonderfully flexible and clear. A few more years and this man will have the attention and admiration of all lovers of art.
 In the evening MT. Macey, assisted by the Arion Quartette, of Chicago, and Merrilrs Orchestra, of Atlanta, held the stage and delighted the audience, responding to many encores, which were duly appreciated. The audience was especially enthused over the vocal solos of Mrs. Holman and Miss Davis, who have remarkably sweet, rich voices.
 MT. Macey recited quite a number of va ' ed selections, which were highly enjoyed His readings were not more appreciated than his catchy, humorous songs. He is a great treat for all.
 Another of the attractions of the Chau- tauqua is Merrils Orchestra, of Atlanta. These ladies and gentlemen are most ex- cellent performers and are adding much to the success of the assembly. Quiet, un- assuming ladies and gentlemen who put their whole soul into the music. They are receiving much attention.
 Visitors continue to arrive and we an- ticipate one of the most delightful as well as instructive sessions of the Alabama Chautauqua.
 Today Mr. Daniel will have his second audience here, and this is another treat to all who are taking advantage of the Chautauqua.

THE GOVERNOR
 MAKES DENIAL
Did Not Threaten to Veto School
 Appropriation Bill.
TALKS OF REYNOLDS CARD
G. P. Appleton Appointed Probate Judge of Cherokee County, and More Charges of Bad Faith Are
 Entered Against Johnston

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont gomery, July Z-(special.)-The letter of former President Reynolds of the Girls h. dustrial school published in The Age Herald this morning was read with es- pecial interest here. It is the general yer dict that Captain Reynolds has made satis- factory explanations of the charges brought against him by the board of trustees.
 Captain Reynolds charges that Governor Johnston had threatened to veto the bill appropriating s15,OO0 to the Montevallo school in case the constitutional conven- ton bill was passed by the legislature, caused the governor to issue denial that he had made such threat.
 The governor gave out the following statement:
 "Reynolds says in his card: After the legislature met and the bill for $5, ,0o00 was introduced l went down to see after it. Standing in the lobby of the house, I was handed note from Gov ernor Johnston stating that if the con stitutional convention bill was allowed to pass he would not consent to an ap- propriation for the school
 q never wrote any such note, and challenge to produce it. Had I enter tained such views I could easily have vetoed the bill. Many of my friends voted for the bill that I never made a request of in that matter. I did not oppose the passage of the bill; doubted the policy at the time, and subsequent events confirmed my doubts.
 "He says I held up the appropriation for the school after the bill passed, that he came to me and that I notified him that I would not approve it if the bill appropriating $60O,009 for the common schools passed. This is pretty near the truth. I stated to Reynolds and many others that if the appropriation for com mon schools was raised to $600,000 with out any tax being laid to produce the revenue, that I would veto practically all extraordinary appropriations for the Montevallo school, the university and other institutions.
 "The plain reason was that the treas ury could not bear all the appropria- tions, and if I had to choose between them I would stand by the common schools and cut off all others This was stated by me to the members of the senate finance committee and fully to all others inQuiring."
