DEATH OF s. R. HrNE.
For Ten Years He Was Marshal of
 Athens.

Athens.
 Athens, April 29.-(Special.)-S. R. Hine, city marshal for the past ten years died at his residence here last night af- ter an Illness of some days. His condi- ton was not considered alarming until a short time prior to his death. He was a man of great physical and moral cour- age and had brought order to the town when no other man, it seemed could do so. and he was universally liked. He was a member of one of the oldest and most prominent families of this section and had lived here for the 55 years of his life.
 George Whitson, a young negro boy. was lodged in jail here today on a war rant sworn out by the President of the Female College, charging him with grand larceny. Some months ago a handsome watch was stolen from a young lady at the college and no trace of 1t could be found until this morning. when J. c. Christensen overheard the negro trying to dispose of the watch to a stranger. claiming to have found if. MT Christen- sen took charge of the watch and going to the office of The Courier to adver- tise 1t. was Informed who the owner was Whitson was jailed ana declines to talk. The watch was a very handsome one with a large diamond in the back and with a name engraved on the front which he had attempted to erase
 The weather in this section is the most unfavorable to the propagation of crops ever known here and farmers are be- coming alarmed about the prospects of a cotton crop. Seed is scarce and high and if the planting now in the ground fails to sprout or sprouts and dies from coll it will bo a blow to the cotton interest in the County.

TRADING STAMP CASES
BUSINESS MEN FINED BY RE
 CoRDER.
They Have Used Clamps in Violation of City Ordinance and Matter
 Will Go to Higher s~sfs Court.

The first prosecutions under the city ordinance which levies a high license tax on trading stamps took place yesterday afternoon before Recorder Arlington and the defendants were fined the amount of the licenses,
 The cases will be appealed in the hope of decision by higher courts that the ordinance is unconstitutional.
 William Kelly, proprietor of the Mont- gomery Drug Company, was lined $ico by Recorder Arlington for issuing trad- ing stamps without a license.
 MT. Kelly had counsel at the trial and the trial of the case was simply a decla- ration of facts and the judgment of the Recorder as to whether he was liable to fine or not.
 J. E. Gamble, the head of the trading stamp company in Montgomery, also stood trial on four cases of engaging in the trading stamp business without @ license. H After a declaration of facts, as in the Kelly case, Mir. Gamble was fined $40o by Recorder Arlington. This Is equiva- lent to the license imposed on trading stamp companies.
 Both MT. Kelly and Mir. Gamble an- nounced that appeals would be taken to the City Court.
 City Attorney Ray Rushton was pres- ent at the trial, to represent the city.
 It will be remembered that some months ago the City Council, after due deliberation, placed heavy license on the use of trading stamps in Montgomery by passing an ordinance requiring the main organization to pay a license of $4oO and each merchant using the stamps to pay a license of S10o.
 The validity of the ordinance will be ascertaincd in the test cases now in progress.

 The withdrawal of Selma's bid for the location of the Presbyterian Syn odical College for men is at once a disappointment, and a qualification to the people of this city: a disappoint- ment because the people hoped for and expected the privilege of giving a home to the institution. and sratifi- cation because of the dignity and wis., dom with which this city's representa- tives acted when it appeared to them that an ultimate decision of the com- petition was dependent rather upon the personal preference of two or three men than upon the merits of the case or the judgment of the majority of those by whom 1t was announced the settlement should be made.
 The Selma delegation. J. Foote Hooper. C. W. Hooper, Herman Elias berg. F. M. Abbott, Lloyd Hooper. c. H. Rettew. pr. T. P. Gary and Judge P. H. Pitts. returned from Tuscaloosa this morning. and, they were disap- pointed. perhaps disgusted. with the proceedings of the synod It was plain ly stated politics" and not situation, climate or endowment was the Key note to the question.
 Upon the first division. one delegate said to-day, 1t was evident that Sel- mas voting strength in the Synod was superior and in ordinary competition would carry or the prize, especially as | this city's monetary bid was easily sths best. and to meet this, opponents oi Selma sought postponement and ac- complished 1t by adjournment. It is considered by some that Anniston since Seima's withdrawal has the best chance of securing the college. and 1t yas said 1 to-day that two preachers prominent ir the proceedings of yesterday would fhave "college in Anniston or college | nowhere"

 Manual Training in Negro School.
 Prof. R. B. Hudson. principal of the
 Clark public school for negroes to- day exhibited to trustees of the pub
 lie schools and to visitors, samples of
 the work done in the manual training
 department of the school, and they show that admirable progress along
 this line has been made in the short
 time during which the system has
 been employed.
 The pieces of work shown to-day arc indicative of what has been accom-
 plished by all grades of the school. from the paper folding of the first to the needle, rafia and sloyd work of the older pupils. and they are creditable indeed, especially in view of the ob- stacles that have been in the way of the establishment of the system. The initial work in manual training
 In the Clark school was done three years ago: The trustees of the pub
 lie schools made no appropriation for 1t and what has been accomplished
 has been done through the efforts of
 the principal and his teachers. and of
 the pupils under them. Only in this session. in fact. has even a partial .in- stallation of the training been feasi- ble Last summer several teachers in the school took courses in the work and they have thus been better able to instruct their pupils than they | were in preceding years.
 In the first grade the pupilau. are taught merely to design paper which is folded into a multiplicity of shapes. The first training of the hand and the eye is thus begun. In the next grade pupils take up drawing in which they continue for several years, and the fin- ishing course Is in rafia work, sew ing. and sloyd work, which Is merely
 whiting with a purpose. Some of the
 pencil and the pen and ink sketches
 were quite good and the handwriting
 shown was excellent. The rafla and sIoyd work showed ingenuity and care and the needle work. which in- cluded the cutting and making of gar- ments and fancy drawn work was ad- mirable.
 The attendance of the school is now 5s7 with an average attendance of sa per cent.
