Muskoeee, !. T., Feb. 9,-The excite
ment over the discovery of oil in this
city continues to grow as the indica-
tions of producing field develop To.
day the oil in the first well that has
shown it is a paying proposition rose
500 feet. and the drill has not yet
pierced the strata Of oil sand 1t was
stated on good authority tonight that
the well as it staaas is a fifty barrel
well, and when it is shot this estimate
will probably be raised
There has been a furry on account
of the discovery and all the big oil
companies that are operating in the
have representatives here
and they are covering everything they
can with leases. One difficulty they
are experiencing is that the oil leases
have to be approved by the secretary
os the interior, except what is within
the city limits, and all this has been
covered by the local company that
sank the first producing we'll
Guffey & Galley have some leases
near town and the Cudahy people have
some unapproyed contracts. The
Guffey & Galley people are large op-
orators in the Red Fork district. and
have also sunk number Of wells
here, but so far as known they have
all ben dry The Standard Oil com
pany has representatives here, but
has no leases so far as can be learned
The town is full of oil men and
there is considerable excitement Oil
stock in the district where the new
well was brought in has advanced 100
per cent today.

ATTEMPT AT .WRECKING
PIG IRON PILED ON L. & N.
 TRACK.
Evident That Passenger Train Was the Object Aimed at, But Freight Hit the ob-
 structiou.

Florence, March 15.-(Special) )-The de- tails of an attempt to wreck train on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, three miles north of this city, Saturday, have just leaked out.
 The point chosen by the wrecker was a most favorable one for his purpose, being on 8 down grade and around a curve, where the train could not be stopped af- ter the obstruction came in view. A large spike was driven between the rails and pig iron was piled on the track. It was probably intended for the 1:3O passenger train, south, but was caught by freight. The engine was not derailed as it would inevitably have been had not. the spike twisted to one side instead of bending fiat on the track when struck.
 The wrecker had done his work with a half hour of the arrival of the train, as the section hands had been over the ground within that time.
 The matter was kept quiet by the rall- road people in order to facilitate the cap

THE BEST PEOPLE
Are Giving the Strongest Endorse ments to Black-weed, the Reli-
 able Vegetable Remedy.

Hon. M. T. LaHatte. ex-Alderman. and one of the most highly respected of At lanta's citizens, writes under recent date:
 'T cheerfully recommend your remedy Black-weed, as a cure for Rheuma tism Catarrh and Kidney Troubles Many of my friends have endorsed your remedy, and have been permanently cured by it, It is pleasant to take and 1 ind it a splendid general tonic"
 BLACK-WEED has made some note worthy cures and we have in our files hundreds of letters from those who have used it with entire satisfaction. It is prompt in results and goes direct to the cause of the trouble, and even in ad- vanced stages where there is danger from uremic poison 1t can be relied upon to check the progress of the disease and effect a cure. BLACK-WEED should be taken by every one who has any indica- tion no matter how slight of a derange- ment of the Kidneys or Bladder for se- rious and dangerous consequences are sure to follow neglect.

(Communicated.) A Card from MT. " [, Hayes


 Camden. Ala, March 8, 1904 Editor The Advertiser
 In your issue of 3rd day of March, 1904 you comment on and publish in part, the report of the examination of my office by Judge Wilkinson. l am reported as hay ing expended $19,995.71. contrary to law, between October, 1901, and February 1904 am preparinga report to show to whom the entire %slim was paid, and that 1t was paid to teachers who taught the schools and that have their receipts on the pay roll
 Judge Wilkinson reports that he found that I had the contracts of the teachers for all the above money, except $69.50 This contract was lost but I have the report of the teacher for this, who taught the school. The name of a prominent educator was not carried on my books, but his name does appear in one or two places on payroll to amount of 5000. This will be explained by the trustees Tn whose township the matter occurred. When Judge Wilkinson came down here, he brought from Montgomery, as proper balance for me to have on hand, $127.30 This exact amount he found in the Bank of Camden here, to my credit as Super lntendent. In short, I will be able tc clearly show where the entire sum of SIS. .995.r went-each teacher who received it and exact amount received by each teacher, and that the teachers who were paid, taught the schools for the time GOV cred by the amounts paid them. My showing will demonstrate that the public school money, every dollar. went to pay the parties entitled to same, and thai there has been no corruption whatever 1T my offlce may not have been as ex acting of teachers in some particulars a' l should have been, or as the letter ol the law requires, but there has not beer any waste or appropriation of the pub lie money.
 Please publish the foregoing in justic; to me. Very truly,
 W. L. Hayes,-1t.
