From the Alabama Courier.

From the Alabama Courier.
 The people of this county who were strong advocates of the late Gov. William J. Sanford, should not forget to endorse his one appointee, Hon. John " Smith, at the polls on April Il. MT. Smith managed the successful campaign of MT. Sanford and was rewarded by being appointed 10 the presidency of the railroad commission position he has dignified and filled With signal ability. He has done great deal in the way of reducing freight rates' and other things helpful to the people, and IS entitled to the support of the friends or Governor Sanford. This was one of the original Sanford counties, hence our peo- pie should not forget to make mark op- poste the name of John V. Smith on April Il.

Strangled to Death.

Harvey Herald James E. Diggins,
the II year old son Of w. ]. Diggin=
was accidentally starngled to death on
his fathers farm couple. of miles
southwest of town last Sunday. The
dead boy, in company with a younger
brother and sister, were playing in the
granary about forty rods from the
house before the accident occurred,
and the younger children had gone to
the house for dinner, leaving James
playing with a swing inside of the
building. After a time his mother,
fearing some accident had befallen
him, went to the granary and found
his dead body with his neck encircled
by the swing rope, his hands hanging
clear of the floor and his knees rest
ing on it. The father hurried to town
and notified Coroner McGregor who
came up On the evening train and held
an inquest. The evidence brought be-
fore the jury was very meager, as the
accident had been Witnessed by no
one, but it tended show that the body
had probably climed the post support
ing one side of the swing and had fall
len in such manner as to catch the
rope around his neck and to render
him unconscious so that he strangled
to death before he was discovered.
The jury brought in verdict of &C.
cident death by strangulation.

OYSTER FARMS.
1Ae Natural and $sArtiacial Beds In
18 Eastern VirEinia. 4:

Eastern virEinia.
q In eastern Virginia there are several
thousand acres of oyster farms. where
oysters are raised by artificial methods
on artificial beds. The natural oyster
bed is where the oyster breeds and
natures naturally. There are thou
sands OF acres Of such beds in the
Chesapeake bay system of salt water.
In such beds the oysters breed by the
millions, and as they are too close to-
gether there they cannot all reach Il
satisfactory growth. If taken when
small from these natural beds and
strewn along on the bottoms where
there are no oysters naturally. at the
rate of 600 to 1000 bushels per acre.
such young oysters mature and ripen
off for the market, some in one and
the rest in two years. -. -.
There is profit in such work when
intelligently managed of 25 to 331a per
cent. Probably more than 100000 acres
Of artificial oyster beds are made to
grow an oyster crop in addition to the
acreage embraced in the natural beds.
AAc area VI .iFtllCldl DeuS Is 1IlcTedS-
ing rapidly each year. ....,.,,
One singular feature about the oys,
ter is this: They all look exactly alike.
there being no difference between thu
male and the female externally or in
ternally. In fact, the art Of man is not
sufficient to distinguish one sex from
another. Another unique feature is
this: The male oyster lays" as many
eggs as the female-"equal rights" we
perceive. The eggs of the male are
! called milf, and the eggs Of the fe-
male are called spawn. An ordinary
! full grown oyster is supposed to lay a
million eggs a year. In spawning sea.
son the water is full Of these eggs
. and when the milt and the spawn
, come in contact and the water is at the
,, right temperature life is impaired t.
the microscopic egg. and it drops to
| the bottom, where, If it succeeds Ia
grasping hold of something, such ~
| another oyster or shell or rock or any
thing to hang on to, the tiny creature
begins to form it's shell and in a few
weeks becomes visible to the eye

AN ELEPHANT TRAIT.
The Animal While Busy Will Never
Injure u Person..

1njure Il Person.
IAN elephant never Injuries a person
when it is busy" says an animal train
er with a big circus. 1t may sound
strange. but there is not a case on rec
ord Of one getting ugly when it was
performing or working The reason,
think, is that the elephant is an animal
Of one idea-that is, it can think Of
only one thing at a time.
"When you put an elephant at work
it gives it's whole attention to it's task
Great power Of concentration? No.
just inability to think Of two things ut
once. When it gets busy it takes a lot
to distract its attention, and it never
stops to think about a private griev-
ance. If we start horse or Il dog do
ing a trick we can't leave it for u min,
gether, but it is different with an eie-
plant. Once get it started. either alone
or with others. and it will go through
with it's turn without another word.
It is absorbed in it's work
'"That same trait, l take it, is what
makes an elephant such vicious ami
NAL when it gets ugly. 1t can think Of
nothing but what has made it angry.
and it will not stop until it has torn
something to pieces. Oh, yes, am Gle.

Restored to Duty-St. Paul Globe:
An order was received at Fort SMELL

arrest and restoring him to duty.
Lieut.. kits has been nominally in
custody at Fort Smelling for the past
month, charged with misappropriation
of army funds while in charge of con-
struction work at Fort Lincoln. He
was tried by court-martial and the
order received yesterday is taken in
army circles to mean that the accused
officer is acquitted. None of the Off

several hours they had been enjoying

them were experts. That one was a

been wholly devoid, says the Phila-

usual experiences.
The girls, looking the picture Of
health, boarded a homeward-bound
car. With a single exception, they all
managed to secure seats. The excep-
ton was the girl who had just had
her first experience on skates.
She had stood only for a moment.

and politely offered her his seat. She
