A NEW BANK AT FL0RALA

montgomery, May Especial 1.-THE
Action on yesterday of the boards of con-
troll of two agricultural schools, that of
khe Third at Abbeville and the Eighth at
Athens, dividing the grades, is more far
reaching than is at first apparent. 1t
has been the practice of some of the
Schools, If not ALL to supplement the
money lacking to take care of the lower
grades from the fertilizer tag fund which
is supposed to be applied solely to the
instruction in the higher grades This
will not be done any longer. The schools
have been so divided, and the same rule
will apply to all of them, so that the
lower grades must be supported by the
regular school fund and can not be helped
out by the agricultural department funds.
1t has also been determined that agri-
culture shall be taught in a practical
tions. There will be no half way meas
ures in this. Ground must be provided
and worked and instruction must be Civ
en- in the actual planting. cultiVating and
gathering of crops. The boards OF con-
= troi, q majority of each being at the cap
ital. in the persons of the superintendent
of education the commissioner of agrl-
culture, and the governor, have deter
mined first that there shall be instruction
sn practical farming and second that no
money shall be diverted from the agr-
cultural courses to offset deficiencies in
the primary grades.

ment looking toward sending Senator e.

that he was not in any manner a cam
didate for the position and did not desire
the matter discussed and further that he
could not accept the honor II tende" ed
him. Mr.. Jeffries was very emphatic
plain In his declaration desiring it und
stood that really Senator Pettus wi
approaching the great honor felt t
he could not accept the position.

MINDED ALMOST INSTANTLY
FROM EFFECTS.

Randolph, May H.-(Special)-A serious
accident occurred at the saw mill of Mr..
Jonce Gardner seven miles west of this
place yesterday In which Mr.. Nelson
lost his life, while his brother was seri-
ously wounded While rolling logs down
an incline near the mill the hook with
which Mr.. Nelson was working slipped
from its fastening on the log, causing
him to fall fiat upon the ground Before
he could arise the heavy leg rolled over
him and crushed him so badly that he
died almost Instantly. Immediately after
the log had passed over him Mr.. Nelson
rose to his feet, exclaimed "Oh, Lord, ;"
and fell back upon the ground dead. His
neck was completely broken and it is
very remarkable that he ever got upon
his feet after the accident.
A brother of the dead man was also
caught in some manner by the log and
seriously injured, though his injuries are
not thought to be necessarily fatal.
The dead man was 20 years old and I'M

having gone there from his home at Stan
