Why the Hon. NJ. L. Smith Could Not
Be Present Tonight.

1t is but due to Hon. NJ. L. Smith,
of Camden, who had accepted the in
vitation of Newberry college to de-
liver the literary address tonight, to
say that it is a matter Of very great
regret to him that he is unable to be
here on account of being engaged this
week in several very important muir
der cases in the court of his coun-
ty. When he accepted the invita-
tion he was under the impression
that the time of the June court for
Camden had been changed in the Act
passed by, the last legislature rear
ranging the courts for that circuit,
and did not know otherwise until he
had examined the acts OF the last leg
islature a couple OF weeks ago.
The Herald and News regrets that
this conflict OF dates occurred. Mr..
Smith is a most eloquent speaker and
one of the brightest young men IN the

 Then Mir. Dewitt became visible. He hastened to Miss Elsie, took her arl and moved up to the end of the room where the minister stood.

In an absent minded sort of manner Capt. Pratt poured out two glasses oi rum from a bottle on the table Capt Railing lowered on his friend and then glanced at the glasses.

 No one took a more enthusiastic in. terest in the forthcoming festivities than did Mir. Dewitt. He kept Capt Pratt busy ruling out suggestions and ideas which. had they been adopted would certainly have made the event unique one. One thing there was on which Tom Dewitt insisted, and here he had the weighty influence of Mrs Pratt in his aid. He insisted on the ceremony being performed over again
 Tt brings back those days of old said Mrs. Pratt, with emotion, when left my fathers house to wed Samuel Father says. cryin' as he was: Go to your chosen husband, Cynthia; take him for better or for wuss, and think it's for wuss,' he says.
 This reminiscence did not seem to soften Capt. Pratt He swore gloomily to himself.
 The evening of the event Capt. Prat, arrayed himself. with some emphatic and caustic comments on the asinins prediction of people in general, in a long frock coat. advised by Mrs. Pratt and furnished by MT. Cohen, of the corner above. Mir. Cohen, when selling the coat. had remarked enthusiast T. cally that if Capt Pratt had been born In that coat 1t couldn't have flt him better, but certainly no man could have looked more uncomfortable in the stocks than the worthy mariner did fin that coat. Mrs. Pratt, with a subdued countenance and wearing a silk dress which the captain had smuggled in from China, received the guests.
 MT. Dewitt, in the highest possible spirits. brought in the minister from the chapel opposite. He was q new shepherd in Parker street pastures and seemed trifie bewildered at the appearance and customs of his sheen
 Capt Railing came in holding fast the arm of Elsie. He scowled like a tropical thunderstorm at Mir. Dewitt but smiled benignly on Capt. Pratt It's not every one who gets the chance of marrying the same woman twice, he said.

 I'm sure 1t ought to be holy event in his mem'ry." put in Mrs. Pratt. He took me from three lovers, and he might be thankful he got me-"
 Some emotions are so deep- seated and hallowed that they admit of no expression vocally. Probably Capt. Prattss gratitude at having won Mrs. Pratt was of this nature. for he said nothing.
 "Cap'n Railing said he wouldn't miss 1t for anything" added Tom Dewitt
 Capt. Railing, though living in the more aristocratic atmosphere of Ann street. was an authority in Parker street and on the water front. He owned two of the finest clippers that sailed from the port. and was the proud parent of Elsie Railing. the prettiest girl in the section--nay. according to Mfr. Thomas Dewitt, who was clear down to the scuppeis in love with her, she was the prettiest and the incest girl in the world.
 What Miss Elsie thought of Tom De- witt was not generally known, not even satisfactorily by that gentleman, him. self. What Capt Railing thought of MT. Dewitt as & prospective son-in- Jaw was widely known. He negatived the Idea so promptly and with such em- phasis that Mir Dewitt had avoided the Railing Mansion. and took chances at meeting Miss Elsie on the street

Big Production of Coal.

An estimate Is made that the coal production for the present year in Ala bama will amount to about 12,400, 900, against 11.700.753 tons during the year 1903. It Is believed that notwith- standing the strike of the union miners in Jefferson County the production in Jefferson County will be as heavy as 1t was last year If not heavier. The Pratt Coal Company, with non-union mines in the western part of Jefferson County. will produce something like a million tons of coal themselves this year, against small amount, com paratively speaking, the year before. Had the strike not taken place 1t is be- lieved the aggregate output for the year would have reached 13,000, ,OO0 tons and more. The output for the last three months of the year will be heavy inasmuch as there is strong demand for the product.

 Eye witnesses of the Japanese fire at Wa-Feng Goa agree that 1t exceed ed in intensity, accuracy and execution anything of the kind they had ever seen. and many of those expressing this opinion were officers of experi- ence in former wars.

Fifteen minutes after the Russian fire opened not a single Russian gun fired another shot. Within that brief time from 10000 to
