Rush, George Goings and Harry Bethel, left last night on the mid night train for Powell station, on the Ala bama Great Southern railroad below Tus- caloosa, to spend a few days hunting in the forests and bottoms near there. Early this morning telegram was received from them stating that Harry Bethel had &C., cidentally shot his foot off. and that they would return on the noon train, which they did. It seems they reached the hunt ing grounds by daylight and Goings and Bethel both spled a squirrel and both shot at it, and while looking up to see the re- suit of the shot, Bethel placed the muzzle of his gun on his right foot as rest and unthoughtedly pulled the trigger. The load went right through the foot, severing the big toe and very severely lacerating the foot.

MONTGOMERIANS ARE MUCH PLEASED
 s-~s-Saz~ Satisfied With Action of State Executive Committee.
J0HNST0N'S CANDIDACY
His Friends Believe He Will Soon An nounce for Senator Morgan's Seat The Second Regiment
 Will Hold an Election

Age-Herald Bureau, Hotel Mabson, Mont whole city of Montgomery have l found single democrat who will criticise the ac- tion of the democratic executive committee at it's meeting in Birmingham this week. Without exception, Montgomerians pro- nounce the action wise, just and absolutely fair. The most pleasing feature to citizens here is that the state convention Is to be held In Montgomery. A large auditorium is being constructed here and 1t is the pur- be christened by a notable gathering of democrats
 It is the general opinion here that the action of the committee practically settles the action to be pursued by Governor John ston. He will make an attempt to succeed Senator Morgan, and his friends seem to think that he will announce his candidacy within the next ten days. The letter sent out by the governor to his personal friends a few days ago is helping him to determine this action, it is said. That letter Is caus- ing the chief executives mail to be much heavier than usual but the contents of the replies are withheld from the press. From outside sources the rumors are that in some cases the governor is urged to run for a third term, in others to try for the senate, and in still others the letter has fallen upon "stony grounds" It is now practical Ty sure that the governor will follow the advice of those friends who desire to see him in the national senate. His announce ment will soon be forthcoming.

and Franklin was early In life i'm
pressed with solemn views on religion.
His Idea In regard to many scriptural
points was, however. very different
from those entertained by most other

session OF the Beers and are capable OF

OF 80 pounds, II was worth while for
both General Butler and General Meth
uen TO wait for these powerful guns,
With their ammunition, even II there
were serious risks 10 the safety of the
beleaguered garrlsons from the delay,
since the effect OF the British artillery
fire against both Colenso and spytfon-
TEN would be greatly increased by
lyddite shells, The expediency Of delay
on the part Of both generals does not
alter the fact that somehdy blundered
In the war office In not sending out
the howitzer batteries on one OF the
earliest and fastest ships.
Lyddite shells were used with tre-
mendous effect at the battle Of Omdur-
man. General Butler was personally
responsible for their introduction in
the British military service when he
was adjutant general. He considered
II nothing less than scandal that the
British army should not be supplied
With high explosive shells, which Ger
many and France had adopted. Owing
TO some reason which remains an Off
cial secret these howitzer batteries
were held back in England until the
Beers had dragged very heavy pieces OF
artillery TO the battlefelds and siege
guns were outclassing the British guns.
The howitzer batteries started about
the time when General Joubert's long
Tom" was throwing into Ladysmith at
each shot a weight Of metal equal TO
the discharge Of a complete round OF
one OF General Whites six gun bat
terles OF l5-pounders, Lord Methuen's
infantry would have been greatly pro-

ties II the howitzers had been added 10
his artillery force, for, unlike the navy
guns, which are tied to railway trucks,
they are almost as movable as ordi-
nary field artillery. General Butler has
been waiting for them day after day
when Ladysmith was exposed to a
most scientific fire from the Boer artil-
lery.
