l WILL GO TO SHOOT
lMAJoR WILLIAMS WORKING FOR
 ALABAMA RIFLEMEN.
Efforts Made to Send 6 State Team to the Coming Rife Shoot at Avondale Rife
 Range.a,

Major A. L. Williams of Dothan was in Montgomery yesterday to see the Goveror in reference to sending team from the Alabama National Guard to compete in the sixth annual rife shoot under the au- spices of the Interstate Military Rifles Association. which will be held upon Avondale Range, near Savannah, Ga., Au- gust 24-27.
 Governor Jelks could give Major Will Hams no assurance of the payment of the expenses of such a team to Savannah There is no fund available for such a purpose.
 It will be remembered that at the shoot last year three companies from Alabama entered teams for the first time. These companies went against experienced marksmen, but the Dothan company of the 1st regiment succeeded in getting third money. Teams compete in this shoot from he National Guards of the Carolinas. Georgia and Florida, and cash prizes are offered aggregating $500, while H,50 will be given away for successful marksmen for trophies and medals.
 It is probable that the Dothan com- pany will pay its own expenses to the shoot It took of all honors at the rife range at the camp of the 1st infantry in Mobile.
 Major Williams is an ardent advocate of rifle practice for National Guardsmen He believes in a State range and thinks that the first requirement. of a success ful soldier is to know how to shoot.
 The teams can camp on the shooting range and there will be matches for mo- vices as well as for seasoned rihemen.

 New York. Aug 13.-President John Skelton Williams. of the Seaboard Air Line Railway made the following state ment today:
 The report that Southern Railway in- terests have acquired an interest in the Seaboard Air Line system Is incorrect. . ''As is well known, Messrs Pierce and Yoakum are closely identified with the St. Louis and San Francisco-Rock Island system and 1t is reasonable to suppose that this latter system and the Seaboard Air Line system will hereafter be operated in thorough harmony and to their mutual advantage.
 The situation is eminently satisfactory to me and the arrangement by which these new interests have been brought into the property have been carried through by Ladenburg. Thalmann and Company, with my cordial cooperation" :"

 MURDER.
Honac Taylor a Negro Arrested for
 Striking White Man.

Honac Taylor. a negro. was arrested by the police yesterday at 12 o'clock. Taylor was locked up in the city jail, charged with assault to murder.

 The negro escaped the police at the time. When asked why he had run away after the deed. Taylor said that he did not want to be locked up on the Fourth of July.
 The negro will probably be committed to the county jail to await the action of the grand jury.

York, and has again opened up her
pleasant home on Prospect street.
Mrs. Maui was not in her usual
health while in Chicago, but is bet
ter since coming south.
The street committee of the town
council is entitled to great praise for
the present clean condition of the
walks and streets. A good work has
been accomplished during the past
week In trimming the overhanging
branches of trees which were low

The laying of pine straw on the
heavy roads is also noted and
much needed improvement.
d. Beasley the popular section
foreman for the A. G. l.. at Denver

one else in Denver who would or
could take the office. This will
prove something of an inconvenience
to many families in that neighbour
hood.
There are several cases of ciph-
liberia of mild type in town. Two

A Great Benefit for Crescent
City.


Mr.. Edwin Gilbert announced to a
company of citizens on Monday night
his plan to provide Crescent City
with good educational institute.
This plan is to supply a long-felt
want and includes much more than
has ever been expected.
There is to be a large modern build
ing erected on the half block just
south of Grove Hall, which is owned
by Mr.. Coe ID. Smith. This most de-
sirable lot is the gift of Mr.. Smith.
The main building will be about
64x50 on the foundation, with an an
mex or wing at the east 32x24; also a
large vestibule in front to the west.
The entire building will be two sto-
ries and built of cement, covered
with a galvanized iron roof.
The purpose of the building Is to
furnish first-class school equip
ment. There will be three ample
school rooms, ali office, class rooms
and library room. The building is
also planned to accommodate the
meetings of the "SOuthfield Bibit
Conference. The entire lower floor
will be so constructed as to permit OF
its being thrown into one large au-
dience room with a choir gallery,
seating in all about seven hundred.
This audience room will be of great
value to the school and town. Some
important parts Of the building have
already been ordered, and every eff
fort will be made to have it ready for
the proposed conference in March.
Mr.. Gilbert also plans that in time
the school shall be developed to ac-
cOmmodate large number of schOl-
ars from other places and a flrst-class
course in Bible instruction shall be
given to any contemplating Christian
work. This continual Bible instruc-
ton will naturally be of interest to
many northern guests-sufficient,
perhaps, to bring them to stop in
Crescent City for the winter months.
The announcement of this plan was
made to the officers of the Southfie!d
Bible Conference Association in Mr..
Gilbert's home. These gentlemen
expressed as best they could their
deep gratitude to Messrs. Gilbert and
Smith, and both these gentlemen
may be sure they have the gratitude
OF the entire community.
That meeting on Monday night was
closed by the singing OF the Doxolo-
gy, which was an expression of
praise to God for all His benefits.

SOuthfield Bible Conference
Plans.

Much difficulty has been experienced
by the officers of the Conference associa.
ton in providing an adequate audience
room. This has all been removed by
Mr.. Gilbert's magnanimous gift Of d
building suitable for these meetings.
Definite arrangements have been
made with Rev. H. W. Pope, supt OF
the Mortified extension, and Mr. Geo
@. Stebbins of Brooklyn, N. Y, for their
help In the coming conference.
Mr.. Pope is one of the best teachers
In the country. He plans to spend
about ten days In Crescent City.
Mr.. Stebbins is well known by almost
every person in any land who ever sang
the Gospel Hymns. He is the composer
of scores of our .favorite hymns. Ht
will have full charge Of the singing here
as he has in Northfeld. The service Of
song will be an important part Of every
meeting of the conference.
Other speakers will be announced as
definite arrangements are made.
Every available room for lodging will
be needed and board must be provided.
The citizens are urged to cooperate
with the entertainment committee In
providing every possible accommodation
for the people who may come. A state
ment should be handed to the chairman
Mr.. W. @. Norton, wherever board OF
lodging can be provided. These visiting
guests will expect to pay good price fol

A good sum Of money Is needed to
