the cats death.
"Fourth-The eat was then put into

cat was buried, and dirt and stones
were put on the grave.
"Fifth--The cat had killed eight val

pronounced: Cat must die

ARGENTINE WELSH.
A Colony Of 1000 souls Planted IN

public, memorial signed by some
1900 persons with Welsh names, ask
ing what provision the government
! would make and what inducements
would be offered for their migration
to South Africa, says the New York
Times.
An examination of the matter showed
| that there was a Welsh settlement in
Argentine supporting fourishing pop
ulation of more than 1000 souls, and
that this had resulted from a party
of Nonconformist Welsh, who had
emigrated to South Africa in 1865. The
settlement, it seems, occupies large
tract of land south of the Chubut val
ley, in the neighborhood Of Lake Cox
huape. This was divided into quar-
ter-league lots which were given only
to Argentine citizens who had no free
grants, and many Of the Welsh col
onists became naturalized in order to-
take advantage OF the regulation.
Commodore Groome, writing from
the Flora, at Montevideo, on July Al

OBJECT TO MIR.
 UNDER WOODS BILL
SEEKS TO HAVE U. 6. coMMlS- SHOWERS PLACED ON A SALARY OF $1,ooo-cLAIMED THIS IS LIN. JUST TO CITY OFFICIALS.

Officials in the government building are discussing the bill introduced in the House of Representatives by Congress- man Underwood to put all United States commissioners on salary of 5000 a year. They do not take kindly to the bill. and argue that some of the commits sioners do a great deal more business than others, some even giving their en- tire time to the government business. as Is the case in Birmingham, Montgomery and Anniston. Other commissioners dis charge their official duties and find time to attend to private business.
 It is said by government officials here that should every one of the commission CTS be given 5000 that 1t would take money from those who worked the hard est and given to those who work the least. They also state that it would be an additional expense to the government to give all the commissioners 5000 a year, The total fees now are not large enough to give each one of the commis- sioners that sum a year. and by the present plan each commissioner gets what his work calls for. An instance was was given by one of the officials. who stated that a commissioner at a little town up the country had only enough business a year to make his fees se0. A commissioner in larger town is known to make an average of $4OO or $500 year by fees.
 A suggestion will be made to Congress- man Underwood when he arrives in Bir- mingham on his vacation to amend his bill by making it read so that the com- missioners be placed on a salary, but have that arranged according to scale, each one being paid by the amount of work his office does. This. 1t Is claimed by the officials here. would place the matter on an equal basis, and each man would be paid for what he does.
 Another suggestion will also be made to MT. Underwood that he amend his bill so that the territory of each commits sioner be 1aregr and have fewer com missioners, but pay them larger salaries so as to insure getting competent men. Also to increase the powers of the com- missioners. At present they are only able to hear case and either dismiss it or bind the offender over to the grand jury. It will be suggested that the bill be made to read so as to give the com missioners power to fine the petty of- lenders. thus saving the government the expense of trial in the higher courts and of paying for the keeping of the prisoners in jail awaiting their trial be- fore the district judge, and also save the expense of a trial before the judge.

TO SHIP COAL DOWN
 THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
Corona Coal and Coke Company to
 Greatly Increase It's Output.

During the coming year the coal mines of Walker County will be worked more extensively than ever in their history. It is estimated that from Greenville, Miss, alone as much as 5O0,cOo tons of coal will be shipped down the Mississippi river. This amount added to what will be ship ped in other directions will bring the ton mage increase up to startling figures.
 L.. B. Musgrove, general manager of the Corona Coal and Iron Company. which is controlled by the Monongahela Company of Pennsylvania, was recently in the east In talking of his trip and of the situation in the local iron market he said yesterday:
 "The demand here is absolutely unlim- ited. In western Alabama 1t is the same. and in the east reports assert all records have been broken during the pa / few months The car famine which is giving this district so much trouble is felt everywhere.
 What I am especially delighted over is the condition of our company's trade. and the possibilities of a remarkable in- crease for the coming year. We purpose making strenuous efforts to secure an enormous increase in river shipments, and will devote much energy to that part of the work. Last year the river shipments from Greenville. Miss. amounted to 250- GOO tons. In 1902 we hope to increase that amount to 100000 tons.
 'In order to handle this amount of shipments we will have four additional tipples erected on our property. The con- tract for this work has been let"

the attorneys for the defense were that the deceased sent the prisoner an invita- ton to call at his house, and that after he arrived there he was attacked by the deceased. as they claimed, with murder ous intent.
 The prosecuting attorneys and Solicitor Heflin declared that they did not put any faith in the evidence relating to the in- vitation, and the murderous assault. They scoffed at the idea and clearly stated that they did not believe the witnesses. The testimony that Coffman peeped into the house before entering and entered without knocking was also brought out plainly by the states attorney.
 They also ridiculed the testimony of Hunt. saying it was strange that no one heard of this until Tuesday, even though the people of Brookside were looking for all the evidence they could find.
