Judge Feagin had several offenders be- fore him in the Inferior Criminal Court yesterday upon whom he imposed generous fines.
 Charley Watkins, colored, is very fond or fried chicken. He let his appetite get the best of his morals last Monday and Tuesday nights, when he appropriated sev- eral fowls without the consent of their owners. The birds were found in his pos session, but he could give no satisfactory explanation to how they got there Judge Feagin gave him 100 days hard labor in which to solve the mystery. Charley will also donate $50 to the city treasury.

LITTLE PROSPECT
 OF ENCAMPMEAT
Alabama National Guard Without Equipment, Without Which
 it Cannot Go Into Camp

There is very little chance of the Ala summer
 It will be almost impossible to have the encampment unless the proper equipment can be secured from the War Department, and nothing will be done until it is ascer- tained whether the equipment can be ob- tained.
 At the meeting of the commanding off, cers of the National Guard, held in Mont gomery last Tuesday, it was decided that committee should be sent to Washington to investigate the matter. The committee will leave in few days.
 Colonel T. o. Smith of the Third Regi- ment, who is member of the committee, said yesterday: "The report that it has been decided to hold the encampment in Mobile is erroneous. There has been no de- cision made as to the location of the camp, and none will be made until after the re- turn of the committee.
 Ut will be great pity if the boys can not go into camp this summer, as there has been none since 1897. The Spanish-Ameri- can war prevented the 1898 and 1899 camps, and the boys are anxious to get together again.
 ''rhe annual encampments are beneficial in many ways. They not only revive the interests of the officers and men, but pre- sent many opportunities for studying the practical side of military life. "I know of no companies that have as yet expressed a desire to go to China in case a call for volunteers is made, though many individuals have expressed their willingness to go'

COUNTRY PRODUCE MARKET
Fine Peaches at Low Prices-M elons
 Plentiful and Cheap

This is busy week in Morris avenue.
 Country produce is here in abundant sup ply, and while the fruit and vegetable mar ket is reported oyerstocked. there are no peaches, melons, beans or tomatoes left to rot. There are buyers for every thing offered, but owing to the large receipts prices low.
 Elberta peaches from Georgia, and peaches from Alabama are received daily in large quantities. The quality is of the finest. Elbertas are quoted at 75c to $1.O0 per crate, but these prices have not been maintained the past two days The fruit comes ripe and must be sold at once. Large, lucious Elberta peaches were going at wholesale Wednesday and yesterday at 50c per crate. Large melons from Georgia and Alabama are selling at $6 to $15 per hundred East Alabama is shipping many melons now. They fully up to the Georgia article; some superior. But on ac- count of the incessant rain the Ines,,n crop has been a comparative failure in point of size and flavor this season.
 The only fruit that is scarce Is the ever not been equal to the demand. Bananas are quoted at 75c to $1.2 a bunch.
 Tobatoes beans and potatoes arc ceiling as a rule at last weeks quotations, but like all perishable goods, they sometimes go at prices below the market. Tomatoes are far better in quality and more abundant than they were last year.
 Eggs are dull at Sc to 10c. Some were sold yesterday at Sc. Chickens are in good demand at regular quotations. The mar ket is well stocked with butter; price 15c to 1Sc.

sowell's Name on Ticket

The name of Hon. Thomas l.. Sowell Democratic nominee for State Auditor, will be printed on the official ballot to be voted in the August election in every county in the state. The last county was heard from yesterday and the telegram announcing the receipt of the petition requesting the print ing of MT. SOwelrs name on the ticket stated that the Probate Judge would go order.
 Thus what was feared would cause some complication in the state election has been avoided and the entire Democratic ticket will go on the official ballot
 It will be recalled that Judge Walter II. Matthews, who was nominated by the Democratic convention in Montgomery in April for State Auditor, died a week ago last Thursday. His name had been certl- fled in the Secretary of States office as the Democratic nominee for State Audi tor, and by the Secretary of State to the Probate Judge in each of the siXty-six counties. The law requires the filing of such certificate with the Secretary of State at least thirty days before the day of elec- tion, and that time had already elapsed when Judge Matthews died The statute governing the printing of the ballots also provide that any qualified elector may have his name printed on the ticket if as many as 800 qualified voters make petition to that effect. This afforded the opportuni- ty to the Democrats to fill the vacancy and get the new nominees name on the official ticket
 Tho New Nominee
 The State Democratic Executive Com- mittee met in this city Saturday of last week and nominated Thomas l.. Sowell, of Walker county, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Matthews. Immediately sixty-six petitions were pre- pared, with the necessary number of sig natures, and on Monday these were dis patched to the different counties
 Favorable reports had been received from all the counties except Conecuh prior to yesterday, and there was some fear that the Probate Judge of that county. who is a Populist would ignore the petition. He did not, however, and the name of MT. Sowell will be on the official ticket in Cone cuh County and all the other counties in the State.
 The campaign is progressing in a satis- factory manner so far as the Democratic party is concerned, and those in charge of the campaign express the belief that not only will the State ticket be elected by an overwhelming majority, but that the Democratic nominee in nearly every county in the State will be successful. The next Legislature, the Democratic party man. agers believe, will contain fewer anti Democrats than any Legislature of the State that has convened in years
