The object of the entertainment is
to introduce into school life a feature
that will have a tendency to hold more
boys in the schools, and especially to
attract those who are not now suff1ci-
entity interested in getting an educa-
ton. The idea was conceived by Miss
L. S. Chase, principal of the Slater
School, after a conference with DR..
w. S. Montgomery. 1t was carried in
to effect by the principal, assisted by
her excellent corps of teachers, Misses
H. V. Bruce, M. Liggons, A. V. Gray,

Miss L. S. Chase, though only one
year in charge of a building, has en-
deared herself to the children, parents,
and teachers by her kindness of heart
and Justice in her dealings with all.
Such a person at the head Of a
school exerts an immeasurable 1nfiu-

 Most of the truck farms in Mo- bile County are within . radius of twenty miles of the city to the west, north and south of the city. The vegei table field is constantly widening. Many new farms have been opened within twenty-five or thirty miles Of the city. In this section two crops of turnips. two crops of tomatoes and fre- duently two crops of cabbage ana pota- toes can be raised. The land ts well fertilixed each season, but it stands fertilizer we'll. It holds the fertilizer and gets the best results from 1t. The growing of fruit is a more rs- cent industry In this section. But like truck farming 1t Is most promising Strawberries, however, have been rats ed for northern and western markets for several years. It is fine strawberry country abou l here and the berries are put on th' | market earlier than any others excep those shipped from Central and soutl | Florida.
 Peach growing has in the past fes years attracted great attention. Thou sands of acres of peach orchards nav been put out and thousands of acre
 more will be put out in the near flu ture. These peaches are said to b
 the best that are offered for sale an' they too bring the top of the market wherever they are sent. Many of th | recent importatiens of colonists Will en | gage in the peach raising industry.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Tom McGehee Wounded by . Friend
 Will Recover.

The condition of Tom McGehee. tho negro who was accidentally shot by Bob Mitchell. another negro in John Johnsons restaurant on Grady Street Monday night about ' o'clock was re- ported yesterday as much improved and the surgeons in attendance believe he will recover from the wound.
 . McGehee and Mitchell were seated at a table in the restaurant and as they finished their meal. Mitchell reached into his inside coat pocket to get his money to pay the bill In some un- accountable way. his pistol dropped to the floor and the hammer exploded the cartridge in the weapon. The ball entered McGehee's right side and made an ugly looking wound. It was re- moved by surgeons who were imme- diately called to attend to the injured man and the negro was sent to his home on Peacock's Tract. The shoot ing was purely accidental as the two men were friends and had no differ ences and no arrests were made in the case.

AN AWARD OF $lO.O00
WAS GIVEN FOR DEATH or JUDGE
 MATTHEWS.
He Was Democratic Nominee For State Auditor When Given Fa.
 tai Injuries By .
 Train.

The state supreme Court afirmed yesterday the verdict of the Marion County Circuit Court awarding dam- ages to the amount of s10,000 to Mrs. Florence Matthews. widow of the late Judge Walter H. Matthews, who died on July 1, 1900 at his home in Guin. The defendant in the suit was the Kansas City, Memphis and Birming- ham Railroad Company. It was all leged that the death of Judge Mat thews was indirectly caused by a fall he sustained while alighting from a passenger train of this railroad on the morning of November 10, 1899 at Guin. This averment of the plaintiff was substantially sustained by the Supreme Court, the opinion of Chief Justice Thomas N. Mcclellan in the case being regarded as especially strong,
 The issue of this case ha. been watched with interest both on account of the legal questions involved and the large circle of acquaintances which Judge Matthews enjoyed up to the time of his death.
 Judge Matthews was nominated State Auditor by the Democrats of Alabama in the spring of 1900 and died few days before tine election in August. Hon. Thomas L. Sowell, the present incumbent. was placed on the ticket by the State Democratic Exec utive Committee to fin the vacancy. He was duly elected in August.
 What is known by the lawters as the "chain of causation" in the death or Judge Matthews was extraordina- rily long for similar cases, approxi- matefy nine months having elapsed between the time of the railroad acci- dent and the date of his death. It seems that septic blood poison devel- oped In the system of Judge Mat thews before his death.
 It was at first thought that the injuries received would not prove fa- tai. The decision of the court recog- nized the mental and physical suffer- ing incident to the injuries.

 School children are now occupying the Highland Park and West End pub lie school buildings recently erected by the city and 1t Is believed that 1t will not be many days before the new school building in South Montgomery will be ready for occupancy.

Yesterday number of desks and blackboards were received and installed in the Highland Park school.
