 The condition of the shippinb busi-

 Here was another problem. Miss Se- rena was engaged to MT. Jack Eaton,

A DEARTH OF BOOKS.
Copies of General Acts of 1903 Arc
 Wanted,


 Will the Probate Judges of Alabama who have copies of the General Acts of 1903, which they do not need plea SC send them into the office of the Secre- tary of State?
 If all the Probate Judges of the State will comply with this request they will save the State Treasury S1,- 900 at least. There is a famine of general acts of the last Legislature There Is not enough on hand to supply the legal demand and Secretary of State E. R. McDavid is endeavorine to get sufficient number sent to him so that he will not have to have an- other edition of the acts printed.
 Secretary McDavid has therefore written each Probate Judge request ing him to send in all surplus copies he may have about his office. Each justice of the peace and each notary public. justice of the peace in the State is entitled to a copy of the Gen. eral Acts The copies are distributed by the Probate Judges after they are sent to them by the Secretary of State Very frequently the justices do not call Tor the acts and very frequently the Judges of Probate find no way of plac- ing the acts in the hands of the tus- lces. Wherever any copies of the acts nave accumulated the Secretary of state wants them sent to his office.
 There is story behind the de e.rth or copies of the acts. Since 1898 $500 copies or the acts of every session of the Legislature except the last have been printed. The law providing for the printing of the General Acts was passed In 1898 and as printed it called TOT the printing of $500 copies. Last year, on examining the enrolled hi,l which passed the Legislature 1t was round 1t called for the publication of only 5000 copies of the General Acrs. mere had been an error in the print ed copy of the bill.
 For this reason only 5000 comics were printed of the Acts of 19O3 Ihis left very narrow margin The secretary of State has to distribute to .ne Judiciary of the State. that is the judges of varoius rank and the inc tlces of the peace 2.S00 copies The remaining 200 copies were not sufi- eient to supply the demand.

TONY JONES TO HANG
NEGRO TO BE EXECUTED IN MONT
 GOMERY FRIDAY.
Governor Cunningham COnfers With Judge and Solicitor and Declines to Interfere-Gall0ws in the
 County Jail.

The sentence of the court that Tony Jones should be hanged upon the scaf- fold in the Montgomery County jail at noon Friday September Q. will in all probability be carried out. Governor Cunningham yesterday declined to in terfere with the execution Of the sem tence.
 The attorneys of Jones might pre- sent to the Governor before the execu- ton some good reason why its execu- ton should be stayed. They have not yet done so and 1t Is believed that they have put forward their strongest showing to the Governor.
 Governor Cunningham late yester- day afternoon had long conference with Judge W. H. Thomas and Solici- tor s. H. Dent of the City Court. These officers were summoned by the Governor to give him all the informa- ton that they could about the case. The Governor went over all the details of the case and the different points in the evidence with the court officials.
 Directly after this conference with the Judge and the Solicitor. the Gov ernor had an interview with Warren Andrews. attorney for Jones. who pe- titioned the Governor to respite Jones that the case might be more fully in vestigated. He contended that the ev- idence showed that another party or parties were concerned in the killing of Warren Jones for which Tony Jones was sentenced to death.
 At the conclusion of the interview the Governor said:
 'No good reason has so far been shown me why the execution of the sentence should be stayed I have so far refused to interfere"
 The impression prevails that there will be no interference and that Jones will pay the penalty for his crime up- on the gallows.
 In the Montgomery jail Jones stoic- ally awaits the end. He has not ceased to hope that something will come up which will save him from the hang mans moose.
 The execution will take place upon the permanent gallows of Montgomery County, which Is established in the enclosure of the County jail. The rope has been purchased and stretched. The details of the execution have al- ready been arranged. Only a limited number of people will be permitted to see the execution.
 Jones is under sentence of death for the murder of Warren Jones. another negro. on the Amos Jones plantation. The trouble which resulted in the kill ing of Warren Jones grew out of the intimacy which Warren Jones believed existed between his wife. Elizabeth Jones, and Tony Jones. The murder occurred during the last Christmas Elizabeth Jones was con victed as an accomplice to the murder and was sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary.

Confidence Game Worked on Country
 Negroes by City Men.
 Once more the country negro has fallen a victim to t:re wiles of his city brother, as appears from the trial for petit larceny in the County Court yes- terday of two Boguehomme negroes John Johnson and Isaac Warrington
 This time the efforts of the rustics to turn the tables on the more sophis- ticated denizens of the city led to the formers undoing.
 It seems that on Tuesday, August 10. the date of the arrest of Johnson and Warrington. one of the pair imperso- mated country negro. and as such mingled with some bona fide country darkies who were hanging around one of the Boguehomme stores. To them came his confederate with a pack of cards which he wished to sell. After some haggling bargain did not ma terialize and the man with the cards walked off. dropping one of the pieces of pasteboard as he went. h a short while he came back and again tried to strike bargain, when the supposed country negro reproached him with trying to sell an incomplete pack. The man with the cards then appeared to become excited and offered to bet s6 that his pack was complete. Upon this the supposed countryman turned to his companions and represented to them that here was their chance to skin town nigger," incidentally requesting the loan of $5 to make the wager. His request was readily granted and the two betters walked to the rear of the store. never to appear again unt.- they did so under the custody of officers of the law.
 It is said that this Is not the first time that the negroes have worked this trick.
 Judge Gaston, who presides over the County Court. has reserved his decis- ion in this case until today.

 tension Visited St. Louis.
 B. B. Smith. the well known Mont gomery engineer to whom was awarded the contract for planning and super vising the extension of the city water works system into the annexed ter ritory. returned last night from visit to the St. Louis exposition.
 The purpose of MT. Smiths visit to the exposition was to examine the latest and most improved machinery and waterworks methods on exhibition there. He said last night that his trip had greatly benefited him in the way of new ideas and as a result the Montgomery plant when completed would be of the most modern design.
 A number of the surveys for the proposed system have been already completed and bids for furnishing pipe will be opened on September IT.
 MT. Smith said he expected that ground would be broken for beginning the work early in October. If the weather Is good the forthcoming winter MT. Smith said the work would be completed before a year has passed.
 The extension of the sanitary sys- tenn will necessarily be delayed until tho water system is installed

 The captain did see the wagon. well" continued Mir. Platt, "as long Vas that wagon moves with a load it's making money for Its owner. When it stands idle it's losing money. If the driver, by reason of helping a woman to cross the street. loses the chance of . two-dollar load. the owner has lost two dollars, and he can never make 1t up. not if he pulls five loads the next day.

Had you reached Boston on time you would have been in Baltimore ready for the thre loads that the Hercules pulled out. But you were not on time. and what did you accomplish? You put two men in the Providence hospit- al. One died and the city had to go to the expense of burying him, whereas the sea would have done it for nothing. The other man has had his feet ampu- tated, and will be a burden on the charitable for his life. whereas he would have died in an hour if you had left him on the wreck. and I have not the least doubt before he dies he will be very sorry you did take him off. So, you have lost me money. put a bur den on the city of Providence. and a task on the charitable. to say nothing of having the regrets of the man on your shoulders. I shall suspend you for five months"
 Captain Slocum gasped. He had been expecting the captaincy of the new sea tug Fortissimus, now build ing. with an increase of stipend. and here came a suspension. There were six people depending upon the wages of driving a tug up and down the At tantic coast with a string of barges behind her, and Captain Slocum had found those wages somewhat insufi- cient. There was Miss Serena. a young lady of seventeen, and a youg sprig of nine. Between these there were three other small slocums. and at the
