ceives Serious Wounds.
 Evergreen, June 2S.-(Special. )-.A long distance telephone message from Peter man, in Monroe County. brings the in- telligence of a serious shooting array which occurred on Monday night at the logging camp of the Bay City Lumber Company. near that place, in which En- gineer Posey, of that company, was shot and seriously wounded by a man named Matthews, also an employe Of the com pany. From the best information. 1t ap- pears that Matthews acted in self de- fense.
 Posey. who was intoxicated, Is said to have persisted in pursuing Matthews until the latter reached his room, when he could not get out of his way, and began firing on him. Three of the bullets from a 38-calibre pistol took effect in Posey' s arm and breast. It was at first thought the wounds would immediately prove fatal, but he is still living and late re- port says that the wounded man will probably recover.
 Matthews at once gave himself up to Sheriff Fountain.
 It is said that there have been fourteen killings in Monroe County since the first of January of this year.
 The special election ordered by the Gov ernor for a successor in the Legislature from this county to the Is,"e pr. Andrew Jay, will be held August 2. Up to this time no candidates have appeared for the place. It is expected that the dispen- sary question will cut considerable figure in the campaign. as the advocates of the scheme are very active. while the op- ponents of 1t are letting no grass grow under their feet. It is proposed In case a dispensary is established here that one- half the net proceeds shall go to the building and keeping up of the public roads of the county. the other one-half to the town. The outcome of the election will be watched with keen interest, as 1t is expected that there will be only two candidates, one for and the other against the proposed dispensary.

WORK OF THE COMMITTEE.
Is Preparing Educational Bill and Primary Election Bill.

 Primary Election Bill.
 The Senate Recess Committee is en- gagged in the preparation of general ed ucational bill and a primary election bill. The Committee is holding two sessions daily but the final adjournment Is not yet in sight.
 The Committees work of preparing bills, which will harmonize the Statutes and the Constitution. has proven big task The two subjects now before 1t are of the greatest importance to the State. The Constitution declares that 1t shall be the duty of the Legislature to establish a general educational system for resi- dents of Alabama between the ages of and 21 years. The Legislature is given full scope in the ma tier. The question is put before the Legislature to take such action as 1t may deem necessary.
 So large a question will not only take much of the time of the Committee. but in its consideration by the Legislature various opinions are bound 50 develop. It will be one of the subjects that will di- vide the lawmakers, involving as 1t does all the details from the beginning to the end of the public .scnool system of the State.
 The general primary law is another measure that is regarded from various points of view. In fact all the bills which will be presented by the Committee to | the Legislature are of a general nature. involving questions, open to divergent views. and general discussion.
 All the laws which the Constitution de- clares shall be enacted by the Legisla- ture will be first presented when that body reassembles on September 1st. The Legislature has only twenty-two working | days for the discussion and enactment of all the general laws. The usual rush of local bills which the Constitution failed to stop is also confidently expected. All in all the law makers will probably have more than they can accomplish.

ExTENsIoN OF SOUTHERN.
Traffic Over the N. C., 6 St. Louis is
 Entirely Too Heavy.

Scottsboro. June 23.-(Special)-It is giv- en out on good authority that the South ern Railway is again seriously consider ing the building of the extension from Stevenson, in this county. to Chattanooga, a distance of 3S miles. The traffic over the Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis Railway. whose tracks the Southern use from Stevenson to Chattanooga. is so heavy that it Is with difficulty that trains of the two roads are operated between these points.
 The Southern has had several surveys made. and if it decides to build the ex- tension 1t is probable that the survey providing for the paraIleling of the tracks of the Nashville road from Stevenson to Chattanooga, with a tunnel through Look out Mountain will be adopted.
