 For the past few days the water has been over much of the corn on the farm of the state No. 1. near this city. which has set the president of the convict board. Judge J M. Carmichael, to thinking of a remedy to prevent such things in the future. He has practically decided to build levees across the sloughs or small from the river, and through which the water has reached the crops The river has not been high enough to hurt the lands or to overflow, but the water has gone out in these waterways and covered enough corn to cause a loss of something less than 1000 bushels of corn. It Is thought that with small outlay for tools and the work of the convicts the levees can be constructed and so firmly built as to prevent overiows save in times of especially high state of the river.

 Kerosened ane! Set Afire.
 This morning shortly after 1 o'clock as Officers Davis, Mosely, Rhodes and Blan- ton were going to their homes after roll call at headquarters they discovered an odor of burning wood from the grocery store of Martin & Morrow next door to Baynes' drug store. An investigation dis closed a quantity of splnters in small wooden box that had been saturated with kerosine and set on fire. This box had been placed in one of the bins behind the counter and but for the fact that the C yer of the bin had been shut the store might have been destroyed by fire. The bin being closed smothered out the flames. Chief Walters Mayor Atkins and City Attorney Shafer visited the store this morning and as a result q warrant was sworn out for George Martin, who has

 Has Political Curiosity. Chairman J. B. Ellis of the Fourth judicial circuit executive committee has in his possession something out of the or dinary in the way of a momento of a political campaign and he expects to keep it preserved in a frame. In the years to come 1t will be pointed to as a great curiosity.
 The circuit committee in arranging for the recent Miller-Hogue campaign author ized the appropriation of $50 for expenses in each county of the circuit The chair man sent to each of the counties this sum. In Hale county the chairman being out of the state the check was sent to w. F. w. Yerby, secretary of the com mittee. Mir. Yerby as is known to many is a newspaper man and this perhaps counts for the phenomenon. Fifty dollars looks big to him. linen again being newspaper man he had learned, perforce, how to be economical. So when he re- ceived the check he immediately sent a counter check back for $40, writing that $l0 would be sufficient for the expenses in that county. This check Chairman Willis had cashed and then wrote re- questing that 1t be returned to him after being cancelled which has been done and will now be framed and placed in Mir. Ellis Den" Something also out of the ordinary In connection with the campaign is that the total expenses as incurred by the see- retary for holding the primary amounted to sS0 less than the estimate made and this sum has been divided in two parts and checks sent to MT. Miller and MT. Hogue for $40 each

 The total state assessment for last year was $3OS. 625. .6s2. It is estimated that this years valuation will reach $Sl5,O0000o at the lowest. It will be noted that the five counties given above are all agricultural and have no industries to speak of to bring about heavy valuations. Jefferson county and Mobile are expected to come up with enormous increases, as will Cal houn and Etowah. both of which have large industrial plants finished and put to work within the past twelve months.
 Walkers Certificate.
 Certificates of the nomination of Benja- min w. Walker for congress in the Fifth district by the republican party has been filed with the secretary of state. It goes on to say that in a convention held of which Joseph c. Manning was chairman and J. l.. Carwile was secretary, Mr. Wal ker was duly designated as the standard bearer of his party While the certificate of nomination does not so state, the facts in the care are, that Mir. Walker is dele gated the rather impossible task of de- feating the Hon. J. Thomas Heflin for a seat in the low houes of the tifty-ninth congress. It will be remembered that this district was represented for several years by the late lamented Charles w. Thomp- son at whose death MT. Hetlin succeeded the honor. No man with any reasonable amount of political judgment believes for a moment that Mr. Walker will be known in the race. Some of the republi- can leaders pretend to think he stands a show of carrying the district but ut terances to this effect are regarded as iolas

When court reconvened this afternoon Deputy Sheriff Townsend was placed back on the stand and testified that the rope which was missing had been found at the jail. a negro having taken it out of the buggy.
 Other witnesses were examined, includ- ing a number of character witnesses, all of whom testified to the good charac- ter of the three men, the solicitor asking each character witness whether or not he had not heard of any unlawful acts which had been charged to B. F. Cherry. One of the witnesses was asked If while on the grand jury he had not voted for a

more wonder than at first, for new
faces have appeared in it, and the
mouse OF Robert Warren, where the
mirror hangs. is visited by hundreds of
curious persons daily.
A lew weeks ago MIR. Warren's wife
died, and since then faces have ap-
peared in the mirror, generally at dusk,
and remained in full view for some
hours. First came the face of an old
man, then that of young girl, fol-
lowed by indistinct traceries, as of
woodland scenes.
None of these was recognized by Mr..
Warren or by any of his neigbbors.

foster his strength and keep up his
courage.
He went about the temporary reset
ting of his arm with as much GOODNESS
as If he had been attending some one
else. He made camp, started fire,
laid in a supply of wood and took every
precaution to keep from catching cold
and to be able TO lay up for a few
days if necessary.
He bathed the wounded arm and did
his best to reset il. Then he bandaged
it and put it in a spliRt, and feeling
that he should have a surgeon attend
the arm as soon as possible. set out
for Dawson, where he finally arrived.
