ExTINGuISHES BURNING LAMP, WHICH WAS ACCIDENTALLY KNOCKED OVER DURING HIS LECTURE AT JACKSONVILLE.

Jacksonville, April 1o.-(Speclal)- )-Capt. Richmond P. Hobson's lecture of last evening was primarily 10 the students, but beside the $50 students, the large auditorium was completely filled with Jacksonvilles prominent citizens, Every seat in the house was taken and chairs and standing room were in demand.
 From his three lecture topics, Captain Hobson chose as his subject for last evening "Amerca's Mighty Mission" and by faultless logic and "cold mathe- matical facts" he convinced the people at this place that America must increase her navy, not only for her own preserva ton, but for the preservation of world wide peace.
 The lecture was peryaded by a deep moral tone, 1t was inspiring, instructive, and deeply patriotic. interspersed at fre- quent intervals by spicy bursts of wit.
 When in the midst of his peroration, Captain Hobson accidentally knocked over a small lamp, breaking the chimney and spiiling the oil. He watched the lamp burn for few seconds. then stoop- ed down, picked up the lamp, extln- guished the flame. and continued his ad- dress, not In the least perturbed. at the same point and with the same lofty elo- quence with which he had left off.
 While in this city Captain Hobson Is the guest of President Daugette, through whose enterprising efforts 1t was that the Merrimac hero consented to lecture at this place.

 The plan was to work all day Mon- day and at night as they came in the city they were to prye the shackels loose and make a run for liberty This was 8 good scheme and might have worked had Chief White not appeared on the scene.

Convict Labor Scarce.

It may seem strange assertion, but convict labor in Alabama IS really scarce. There are not enough convicts within the state prisons to supply the demands of farmers and manufacturers for such labor.
 While this condition may serve to some l. what lessen the probable revenue by the state, still 1t must be admitted as a. higher condition in the stat for law and order.
 We are having constant demands for convict labor at good price said Pres dent Carmichael today after the board had adjourned it's regular consultation. but we have no more for hire.'
 Why this scarcity of convicts for hire?" was asked.
 respect for law and order in Alabama, ' Judge Carmichael replied. But there are other reasons which may contribute to this scarcity of convicts. For instance there is general scarcity of farm labor and it may be that farmers are more willing than usual to bail out persons charged with crime. and bailing them out, they beg for and secure a continu- ance of the trial. Secondly, we are just at the close of most exciting political campaign, and 1t may be that the public
 has not been giving so much attention to the courts. At any rate, we have not the convicts to supply the demand"
 It is certainly looked upon as a healthy condition of the state morally when the roll of convicts begins to diminish.

CLAYTON BANK IS CLOSED
Many Birmingham Attorneys Are in Capital This Week to Attend Su- preme court-other Mont
 gomery News.

Montgomery, April 19.-(special 1.-The Citizens Bank of Clayton ralled to open it's doors yesterday, as a result of re- port made to the state authorities by State Bank Examiner Rutledge Because of the restrictions upon the examiner by the statutes. he has declined to make a statement for publication of the affairs of the bank. but it is known that he re- ported the condition of the bank last Thursday as to its insolvency and the state treasurer immediately made a re- port to the governor. The bank officials made an effort to cover the bad securi- ties, but failed. and as result G. W. Peach has been named as receiver.
 From a Clayton authority 1t is learned that the capital of the bank was $50.000 and it carried deposits amounting to about s61 .O0O. The liabilities amounted to more than sl00.0OO while the cash in hand is said to have been less than 5000. Noth- ing like fraud Is suggested in connection with the banks bad condition, but it Is rather attributed to an accumulation of bad securities. It is stated that the bank holds notes of one person to the amount of $15OOO which are practically unsecured.
 The largest depositors in the bank are the county of Barbour, amounting to about $10.0O0, and the town of Clayton, amounting to something like 5000. Many of the merchants and farmers are also caught in the failure. The receiver may be able however, to pay off the depostors practically in full
 The officers of the bank are Dr. James J. Winn, president, and J. E. Meadors, cashier
