 mine workers who are employed in this mine had gotten into their regular places or there would have been a se- rious loss of life. The drivers and oth- CTS with the twelve mules had passed the engine house before the fire was discovered. The flames spread rapidly on account of the large amount of oil used. It was impossible to pass the fire and the mines began filling with smoke. The miners going to their work were turned backward and got out in safety Telephone messags to the inside of the mines told the im- prisoned men and boys to go to the air shaft and wait for ropes.

 He spoke of the work on the farm at Castleberry and said that better results at less expense could be had here.
 Speaking of Castleberry he said:
 AL CastleDerry we shipped 600 crates which means 72,000 dishes to northern markets in month of April. We formed farmers into an association and promised them they could raise crop of berries that would net them $500 to the acre From S2-acre farm, we shipped eleven cars by freight and half as many by ex- press and netted them on the average of $416 per acre. This is the best soil I ever saw for raising strawberries and you can get them in the northern markets in April, earlier than other sections can do The cost in north and east Florida is Ii and 12 cents to get them into the market, it costs $50 per acre for the land, $50 to clear it up, $25 to $40 for fertilizer and would like to get sixty crates to the acre. In this section you can get 200 crates to the acre on land worth from s to S10 per acre, cost from s6 to s10 for fertilizer and can get as much as $1,5O0 a car for your stuff. At Castleberry we formed a stock company and put out seventy-two acres, cleared the land, put a wire fence around 1t and when we rounded 1t up and before picking. $7.2OO was invested and we took out of it $12,000.

Pretty Point of Law.

s
 There is much discussion on here as 10 the statute concerning probate Judges in the State and the attorney general Is said to be considering the matter in his office in Montgomery. The question simply stated is this: Will IL De the duty of the Governor after the Srd day of November. 1904. to ap- point sixty-seven probate judges, one for each county of the State? If not, is there an interregnum in the offices of the probate judges of Alabama from the Srd day of November, 1904, until the 3rd day of November, 1905. The Legislature overlooked the fact, 1t seems, that 1t had changed the date of the election of the State officers from the nrst Monday in August until the tuesday after the first Monday in Mo- vemoer and had amended the statute to conform thereto. Probate judges are 10 be elected this year on the sth of November. So 1t is contended that the probate judges elect cannot take office until the 3rd day of November, 1905. The matter Is being discussed by the Birmingham lawyers. The weight of the opinion is that either a vacancy or an interregnum will follow. If a va cancy. the Governor has power to fill 1t. If an interregnum, there will be a hiatus of year in the administrations or the probate affairs of the State.

 ''Fifth-Destroy the water deposits where the mosquitoes breed and their breeding Will be avoided.
 'SiXth-Empty all tubs, buckets, tins 1owerpots, vases, etc., at least every two days.
