Ee sso Under the new system. then. the pau pers will cost $9S whereas they formerly cost sl4O. Mayor Atkins this morning had list of the indigent who have been sup ported at public expense and issued the necessary orders for rations. He has also instructed Chief of Police E. T. Walters to investigate each case and find if any benefciaries are able to support them selves and therefore should not receive the assistance of the government.
 The following is a copy of she letter written to Mayor Atkins oy the officers of the society-and this letter, It should be explained, was not delivered to linn until the closing of the aims house and the consequent advent of helpless bene- fciaries into the mayors office had made known the fact that the United Charities was no longer to fulfill the duties and obligations it's members have so long and so faithfully discharged:
 To the Mayor and Council of the City
 of Selma:
 The 3ociety of United Charities. not be- ing able to run their infirmary to their satisfaction, or the physicians, pr the people, have decided to rent it. We built 1t to care for white people who are sick
 
 have it answer that purpose.
 The hospital for colored people we will try to keep open. if the city and county will agree to pay us s5 cents per day for each incurabie and patient that we have to care for in the hospital.
 The city has three incurables. viz. Scylla Jemison, blind, has been there since Jan uary 6, 1902: Ally Tate. an old rheumatic, since May 30, 1902; Emily Cunningham. also a rheumatic ten months, all claim to have no relatives. Dr. Skinner has one patient from the city, Hudson Carter. admitted June g.
 We offered the inf1rmary to the physi- clans free of any rent except the care of charity patients and the veterans. They declined to undertake it after keeping us waiting two weeks. We had hoped to turn it over to some one by the first of July. Will the city allow us 35 cents per day for each one that we have to care for? We have to pay for the food and cooking, the clothing and bedding, fuel. lights, washing. repairs, painting and in- surance, but not medicine or bandages. We are perfectly willing to rent it to any responsible party.
 Each church has its own committee for looking after the poor, and prefer look ing after their own. Therefore we will not undertake the outside work any long er We enclose list of persons helped last month outside. By request of the Board of Managers.

President of Board Sub
 mitS a Report.
Not Satisfied With Treatment of County Prisoners-Good show- ing of Result of Mining
 Coal by State.

In his quarterly report filed yesterday with Governor Jelks. President J. M. Carmichael, of the State Convict Board. says the health and condition of Itate convicts is good but the condition of county convicts is far from satisfactory. The report also shows that during the six months of coal mining by the State
 the net sum of s1Oo.s4O.69 has been earned. The closing of the cotton mill Is re- ferred to by President of the Board and the report is altogether interesting. The complete report is as follows: Hon. w. D. Jelks, Montgomery, Ala: Dear Sir-P1ease allow me in pursuance of my duty under Section 4439 or the Code to submit my report for the quar- ter ending June 30. 1903.
 First, I desire to state that the con-
 dition of the State convicts throughout the system is entirely satisfactory. Their health Is good; they are we'll fed; the mortality among them Is small; they are apparently we'll satisfied and in good spirits. A large number of them are | life prisoners and many of them are al- ready prisoners of long standing and are well inured to prison life and seem to have become fixtures. Nevertheless. there is scarcely one among them who does not expect, at some time, to be free man again
 Each of the Inspectors has during the quarter just ended performed the usual work The president has been engaged in office work. and in general supervision of the affairs of the department. Hon. Shirley Bragg. physician inspector. has given attention to general supervision | of the medical department of the sys- tenn, classifying mine workers. visiting

In Favor of Defendant.

In the suit of Mercy against Monk. Judge Mabry of the City Court. sitting without jury, rendered judgment in fa- vor of the defendant. It Is expected an appeal will be taken.
 The suit was of unusual interest. The plaintiffs were brothers and sisters, the next of kin and heirs at law of R. R. Mo rey who died In 1902 Deceased left life insurance valued at s2,0Oo designating w. s. Monk his stepson, as beneficiary. Upon proof of death the life insurance was paid Mir. Monk and the plaintiffs sued to recover.
 The case turned upon the word fam ily'' as a class of beneficiary and whether Mir. Monk was a member of the family of the deceased and entitled to be desig- mated properly as beneficiary. The evi- dence was taken yesterday and the argu- ment made today. Judge Mabry without leaving the bench decided in favor of the defendant.

 F. M. Abbott, president of the Birming- ham. Selma and New Orleans Railroad and of the Selma Street and Suburban Railway Company. is wanted to succeed Mir. Atkins but he says 1t is impossible for him to accept the office. He is re- garded as eminently fitted for the place ana has been importuned to assume the duties of the position.
 It is generally regretted that the Cham Der of Commerce as it now exists Is un- wieldy. Too large a number of members is required to form a quorum and it is on this account that the meetings have been so few and far between. It is sus- gested thats the number of members be reduced to . few representative and jealous citizens who would take active interest in the. affairs of the society. But 1t would be better to have an unlimited number of members and vest a director ate with ordinary executive authority so that routine business could be dispatched without delay and so that at the same time the Chamber of Commerce would be a part of every mans citizenship. This method would prevent the usual de- lays of the past and would not confine the organization and its interests to a few.

Copper Mountain Mine is Very
Nicely Equipped
START Is TO BE MADE SOON
SO Writes Supt. Charles ~. smith
Timbering the shaft New Build.
ings Are Nearly Completed.

The new gasoline engine recently or
dered by Manager Ben r. Lloyd for the
Copper Mountain mine in Beaver cOun-
~ has been set upon It's concrete
foundation and is ready to so into COM
mission. This was the information
conveyed to the local officers OF the
company yesterday in letter received
from Supt. c. II. Smith,
In his communication Mr.. Smith said
that the buildings are practically all
completed and that he thought every
thing would be in readiness for start
ing up by the last OF the week.
While the new plant was being in
stalled the tlmberlng Of the main
working shaft has been in progress
This work Is also about finished
Manager Lloyd expects to be on the
ground when the plant formally goes
into commission, and will probably go
down TO the property sometime during
the latter part Of the week
The shaft viii be sunk an additional
200 feet without delay, from which
point the veins viii be eross-cut.
The Copper Mountain Is now one Of
the best equipped mines In the copper
belt Of Beaver county This mine
ought to make a good account Of itself
this year, AS 1t is pretty generally con-
ceded to be one Of the best properties
in the Beaver Lake district, I'm which
Is located the Majestic company's o, x,
mine, the Beaver Con, Ben Harrison,
Blue Acre, Erie and other properties
now undergoing active development.

A Car Load Coming From the Mon
tana. TOuopah Mine.
VALUES SAID TO RUN HIGH.
II IL Thought 100000 VIII be Real
ICED From This Shlpment.-nu
Local Interest Taken.

Adylces received from Tonopah state
that shipment Of high grade ores from
the Montana Tonopah mine Is about to
be forwarded to this city. This ore,
It is said will contain sensational
values and some of the officers expect
to realize therefrom as much as s2O,-
600.
The fact that this consignment is
soon to reach the local market probably
accounts for the rapid advance made In
the price of the stock during the past
week.
Col A. c. Ellis, who is one Of the
largest shareholders, says the enhance
ment Of the stock was not unexpected
by the management, He sees no rea-
son why II should be kept down and
he believes that II is only matter Of
a little time until II win become as VAL
liable as the original Tonopah,
In many respects the Montana Tono-
pah is more fayoraby situated In the
first place the company controls more
territory than the Tonopah company
does; secondly Il Is In the hands of
more experienced management. thirdly,
ore bodies have been disclosed by the
NOMINATION company which APP
pear to be just as important If not more
so than those exposed In the mines of
the older company.
a large amount Of the Montana
Tonopah stock is held in this city, and
naturally much interest Is being taken
In the progress Of development.
