Girls, industrIaI School.

Rev. J. M. Shoefner of Brewton has a plan to establish a school at that place or some other near by to educate poor girls In useful occupations. He proposes a fruit and truck farm and allowing the girls to earn their board and tuition pick ing, crating, preserving and caring for fruits and berries. These duties are to be so arranged as not to interfere with school hours. It Is estimated that a young girl can make this way at least $50 year, which will be ample to meet her expenses. The plan has been favor ably received and Dr. Shoefner has had several offers of financial aid. E. Dow hing has offered 100 acres of land if the school Is located at Castieberry. NJ Lindsay makes a similar proposition for Pollard. c. c. Harold will give forty acres If the school Is taken to Alec, and J. E. Finley is offering twenty acres at Brewton., The scheme is regarded as eminently practical and one worthy of support. Dr. Shoefner is the Methodist preacher at Brewton.

Havis was convicted of manslaughter year ago this month and his case came up from the lower to the higher court on July of last year It was the first decision of the special term of the court which began this morning.
 The supreme court also rendered de- cision today on the arguments made last Tuesday in the impeachment proceedings against Probate Judge J. Colvin Wood, everything all motions to strike and de- murrers to information except three and four. These set out allegations of excess sive use of alcoholic liquors and narcot- ics. The court holds that while the con- stitution provides that these shall be re- garded as reasons for punishment in such cases the legislature made no provision to put the provisions into use and conse- quently they are void.
 All the other charges, including attempts to buy votes in the April primary and non-attention to the business of the office are left as they were first presented and the defendant will have to go to trial upon them. The date for the beginning of the hearing is set TOT July IS, at which time witnesses will be on hand and the testimony will be taken.

In Philadelphia there is a hat fac- tory which excels in size all others in this or any other country. The hats produced there are sold all over the world and have reputation for qual- ity unequailed and unrivalled. In the great West and Southwest, scarcely any other make of hats is known. In the East, as elsewhere, they command the highest prices ever asked for hats. Stetson is the name on this great fac tory, and Stetson is the name which in hat stands for the highest possi- ble quality. Meigs & Go. of Bridge. port have added these famous hats to their already we'll known lines, this season. and they report flattering trade in StetSon hats. Nevertheless the demand for hats made by the Cro- fut & Knapp Co.,, the oldest makers of hats in America, continues to be strong, because of the unfailing satis- faction which these hats give their customers. says Meigs & Co.

Editor of THE BEE: In the last BEE 1 read with interest communication
 from Pen Dragon in comment on the
 BEES editOrial, "Shooting Automobil-
 ists." P. D. evidently gives the autos wide field or he would catch just as much mud from them as from the grand turnouts. Unlike P. D. I own a horse. It is steady beast generally and when riding on the highways if we meet one of those grand turnouts both yield half of the road and pass on. But if an automobile with it's chug! chug! and gasolene smell is to pass my horse will insist, unless most forcibly restrained, on giving the auto all the road and if possible put stonewall or barbed wire fence between to boot, leaving wagon and occupants to lucky or unlucky fate. Now MT Editor am we'll aware l have only few brains, perhaps an ordinary tablespoonful or two, and that fact makes me cherish those few all the more, and 1 most cer- tainly object when out riding to being in constant danger of having my head cracked and it's small contents exposed to the gaze of an unfeeling automobil- iSt who chanced to come suddenly on my modest turnout and frightened my horse into throwing me into a stone wall. 1 believe automobiles should not be allowed on country roads. The average country road is narrow and aboundS in sudden curves and danger ous places and is often so shaded by trees and bushes that an auto is not seen until close on, and experience has shown many auto drivers care little for law or safety of those whom they meet on the roads. The seltishness of a rich few make the lives of many farmers, who pay the taxes to keep roads in re- pair, worry and dread and no end of trouble. To shoot at an automobile is a crime, worthy of punishment, but what of trying to control a frightened horse and get out of wagon and have the auto people look on and enjoy your trouble, or again pay no attention to your signals to stop! Surely the temptation to shoot can be excused. Let the farmers circulate petition in every town to have our next Legisla- ture prohibit automobiles on country highways, or at the least let us have two or three days of each week when it is possible to travel country roads and meet no automobiIes.-[Geo s.

CAUSE OF LOCKJAW.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a bacillus or germ which exists plenti- fully in street dirt. It is enactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin, as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is ex- cluded the germ is reused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by applying Chamberlain Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is received
 Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes cuts, bruises and like injuries to heal without maturation and in one-third the time required by the usual treat ment. It is for sale by R H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; Taylor, Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook; w. N. Hurd, Long Hill; Ernest Hawley, Hawleyviile; A. B. Blakeman, Rotsford; D. s. Mead, BranchVille.
