A VERY SAD ACCIDENT.
Ernest Weisen, .Ir.. Injured by
the Explosion of Il
Percussion Can,

On Tuesday at about half past
twelve o'clock, Ernest Weiseu, the
thirteen year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest Weisen, met with an
accident which resulted in the loss
of the first two fingers and thumb of
the left hand. He was holding a giant
cap in his left hand, aud not being
fully aware of the dangerous nature
of its contents was picking it out with
wire, when the cap exploded with
the result as above stated DR..
Bailey was called and dressed the
hand. The little fellow is doing as
we'll as can be expected, considering
the seriousness of the injuries. He
was able to be out of the house for a
short time on Wednesday, and 1t is
sincerely hoped that he will gradually
recover. The case is indeed a sad
one, as he will never have the full use
of the injured hand.

Dear Sir-There are several ways
Of cheating in milk. An old-fash-
ioned way is to water it. Nobody
waters it now. A better way is to
take out the cream-rich milk with
the cream all taken out is good as
poor milk with its cream all in.
But we need MT go into particulars.
You do MT rob your milk and your
customers.
Paint is as easy as milk to cheat
with. Good paint is as rare as good
milk; for human nature is much the
same in milk-men and paint men.
You are just and true with your
milk; so are we with our paint.

OFFICERS TO MEET HERE
MEN OF SECOND INFANTRY TO
 DISCUSS EQUIPMENT.
Colonel Graves Hopes to Have His
 Regiment in Condition to Meet Requirement of New Federal Law.

To secure the early equipment of the End Infantry under the provisions of the Dick military act is the object of a meet ing of the officers of that regiment which will be held in Montgomery Sunday next. The important meeting was called yester- day by Colonel E. H. Graves. command ing the 2nd who came to Montgomer yes terday from his home In Eufaula.
 Letters have been sent to all commis- stoned officers of the 2nd and large at- tendance is expected. The meeting will be held at noon Sunday in the armory. Colonel Graves Is desirous of securing the early equipment of the 2nd in order that the regiment may participate in the benefits which accrue to military organ izations which have been formally in- spected by the representatives of the War Department.
 The act contemplates the equipment of all National Guard organizations with Krag,Jorgensen rifles and with other arms and supplies now given the sol diers of the regular army. After receiv- ing the equipment the regiment Is to be inspected by an officer of the regular army detailed by the War Department for that purpose. If his report is favor able as to the efficiency of the regiment 1t will be accepted by the War Depart ment.
 The Federal government then under takes the cost of ten days practice camp, similar to that which has hereto fore been given the National Guard of Alabama by the State. During the camp the men and officers of the command are to be paid the same as men and officers Of the regular army according to the same rank and branh of the service. A regular army officer will attend the camp.
 The 2nd Regiment will go into camp in July. This was decided by vote of the officers taken last July while in camp in Selma By moving early in the mat ter 1t is hoped that the regiment may he equipped and inspected. before July so that the encanipment expenses may be undertaken by the Federal government. In that event the Ends share of the an- nual appropriation from the State of $15.- 900 will be turned back into the State Treasury.
 It has been officially announced from the War Department that 60,000 Krag- Jorgensen rifles are ready for distribu- ton to the National Guard of the va rious States under the provisions of the Dick act. It has been officially estimated that 1t will require 10S0O0 rifles to equip every member of the National Guard.
 The officers of the End hope to secure Krag-Jorgensens for that regiment before the first allotment is exhausted.
