A Historic Throne.

The biggest episcopal throne in Eu-
rope is at the Exeter cathedral. Com
posed Of the very best oak, with mag
nificent carving executed by the most
expert designers of the day, the throne
scars upward in beautiful tapering pin
nacles, which rise up to the lofty roof
of the sacred edifice. The throne is
not only the biggest, but one OF the
oldest. 1t was saved from destruction
by the Puritans by the ingenuity of the
Cavaliers, who when the Roundheads
marched on Exeter pulled down the
throne and divided it into 365 pieces,
one for every day of the year The
pieces were safely secured in many
hiding places. and when peace was re-
stored the pieces were put together
again without the aid of single nail.

BALDwIN's SCHOOL BOARD.
It Decides to Adopt Uniform Series
 of Text Books.

Bay Minette. Aug. A.-(Special)- Baldwin County's special school board was in session here yesterday and to- day. The most important part Of its work was the passage of resolution to adopt a uniform series of text books for the county. and a committee Of seven was appointed to make recom- mendations to the board. This com mittee will meet here on the 12th of September to make its selections, at which time 1t is expected that num- Der of book companies will have rep resentatives present. The only com pany represented at the meeting today as B. F. Johnson & Co.,. by County Superintendent W. s. Neal of Brew ton.
 This county will have for the rext scholastic year about $13,0O0 in public funds for it's schools. and yet with 55 schools in the county there are at present but about twenty-five teachers making applications for positions.
 Hon. D. D. Hall. State Senator from the 21st District. and MT. J. T. Brad ley. ex-Tax Collector of Baldwin Coun- ty, are here today with the view ot making a deal for 200 acres each ot level lands. which they say they will plant in cotton.

A LYNCH1Na INVERTED.
Excitement Ran High Against
 Charlie Brown.

Columbia. Aug. 24.-(Special.) )-Last Monday morning the city was greatly aroused over the report that the nome of Mrs Willie Feagin had been sacked. And when Charlie Brown, negro cross tie hand was brought to town under ar rest. charged with the crime hanging or shooting was hardly avoided. The robbery was committed during the absence of Mrs. Fagin, who Is highly respected widow with several little girls to support by her own work. Very fortunately all of her goods. except ing one dress, was recovered.
 The excitement which broke out on the announcement that the Constitu- tional Convention had passed an ordi- nance to form a. new county to be made out of Henry, Dale and Geneva, allow ing a reduction of those counties to 800 miles, is subsiding. The people in this section have quietly made up their minds to fight for their rights in the matter. Their first step will be to give a big majority against ratification. The new constitution will loose many voters by the failure to listen to the advice of The Advertiser to not dabble with local matters.
 Crops in this section are much bet ter than last year. especially corn. An abundance of rain is going to make all minor crops, such as potatoes. sugar cane and peas, extra good. but fodder and hay are being badly damaged by the continued heavy rains.
 Scarlet fever, while not bad in this town, is almost epidemic in the county and many deaths have occurred. The health authorities are very direlict in their duties in not attempting control it.

MT. An Sin is one of Montgomery's citizens who is considered wise prophet in more ways than one.

 It could not be learned who An Sin had reference to when making this positive assertion. Perhaps he had something up his own sleeve. as there seemed to be plenty of room for many surprises to be contained therein.
 When approached as to what he knew about somebody having thing thing up his sleeve" An Sin said:

Washington. Aug. 24.-The War De- partment has received number of or ders from the Division of the Philip pines, containing facts regarding the trials of different persons charged with relieving the enemy with money In violation of the laws of war
 Hael Terman also was charged with furnishing the enemy provisions and ha"boring the enemy and generally vio- IatnIS- the laws of war. He was found guilty on nearly every charge and was sentenced L. death. The case WIS re- viewed by General Macarthur. who says thal The sentence is wholly war ranted by ths evidence, but the rap idly pass ng away of the condition of war moved the department commander to recommend that the sentence be commuted," and this is done by fixing the sentence at imprisonment for fifteen years.
 Private John English, Company H. 10th Volunteers, was convicted in Min danao of desertion and found guilty and sentenced to death. General KobDe, n reviewing this case. says the court martial tried four other cases, two of them involving death sentences, and he severely criticised the method of charg- ing gross carelossness and neglect of duty. Under the circumstances he is unwilling to inflict the death penalty and commutes the sentence to twelve years imprisonment.
