sToCKHoLpERs OF FAIR ASSocIA. TON VOTE TO PURCHASE FAIR GROUNDS sITE-IMPRovEMENTs TO BE MADE.

A meeting of the stockholders of the Alabama State Fair and Exhibit associa- ton was held yesterday afternoon at the Hotel Hillman and the majority of stock was represented in person, and by proxy. The meeting was for the purpose of rati- flying the action of the board of directors in issuing bonds to the extent of s50000 to be used for the purchase of the fair grounds from the F'airmont Investment company. The action of the directors at the meeting held several weeks ago was approved.
 Lee Bradley, tho attorney for the new company. was present at the meeting and was instructed to draw up the papers at once and the bonds will be issued as soon as he has finished the documents.
 As has been previously stated these bonds bear per cent interest; $50oo worth mature in November, 190S the second 5000 in 1907, the third 5000 in 1908. and the fourth In 1909 The remaining $30,000 of bonds mature in 1901. In addition to this amount a big sum will be spent on i'm provements at the fair grounds and 1t is the intention of the association to make 1t one of the finest parks in the south and the equal of any in the country.
 R. M. Williams. the secretary and gen eral manager of the association, leaves tonight for Winchester. Tenn, In re- sponse to an invitation from the fair as- sociation of that place to go over the plans and offer suggestions for the build ing of fair grounds. He expects to be away for several days. as he will visit points in Kentucky. He stated last night that when he returns he will wind up the affairs of the recent fair

 tionaI Association at Nashville.

Dr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of the public schools, was at his office yesterday after an absence of several days spent at Nashville, where he attend ed the annual meeting of tho Southern Educational association. He stated that tho meeting was largely attended and much was accomplished, but there was nothing of special interest to the general public.
 Yesterday afternoon a special commit tee meeting was held in his office at the city hall, to consider the purchase of fixtures for the new High school build ing report was arranged by the com mittee and 1t will be submitted to the members of the Board of Education at a special meeting to be held at 12 o'clock Monday It Is probable that this meeting will be very important and all the mem- bers of the board will be present. It is also probable that the board will reach definite decision in regard to the purchase of the fixtures of the new school build ing.

To the Democratic Voters of Jefferson
 County:
 l hereby announce as a candidate for sheriff of Jefferson county, subject to the action of the voters at the coming Democratic primary. I have served the people one term as sheriff of this coun- ty. How well and faithfully l dis charged that duty is a matter of com mon knowledge. It was also a matter of universally favorable comment dur ing my incumbency of the office. and has been emphasized since the expiration of my term. From the beginning of the term for which I was elected 1 recognized that a large percentage of the liberal fees of the office should be devoted in the in- terest of justice and for the suppression of crime, therefore my inyariable rule was not to count the cost where the lives or liberties of my fellow citizens were in jeopardy. I soon realized that Jefferson county was being made the clearing house of crime for Alabama. as consequence of the dumping of the convicts of the entire state within her her borders, and as every citizen, both corporate and indi- vidual, was entitled to full protection un-

TEACHERS ARE SCARCE
 IN JEFFERSON COUNTY

examinations required by the state board aie so strict and rigid that great many prospective applicants hesitate about go- ing before that body. It Is claimed that tfe requirements for teachers this year are very difficult. much more so than In the examination of last year Many teachers have been known to complain of this and have given up teaching to seek other employment
 No applications are being received at the superintendents' office and the pres ent prospects for filling the vacancies looks very gloomy. Unless several teach CTS are persuaded to accept the positions. it will be necessary to close several of the schools entirely. While the residents in that part of the county where teachers cannot be secured are complaining, the beard of education Is powerless to relieve tfae situation.
 Professor McAdory. superintendent or the county board. returned to the city yes terday morning after an absence of few days. but did not remain long as he had important business in the lower end of ,he county Consequently it was impossi- lie to obtain a statement from him in regard to the matter. Reports to the superinendent' office from all over the county are to the effect that the county schools are in f1ourishing condition and the enrolment of pupils is much larger than last year. If the increase continues 1t will be necessary to enlarge some or the schools and supply additional teachers if they can be secured.

ACCIDENT CAUSED
 O'FLARETY'S DEATH
Coroner Paris Is of the Opinion That the Aged Miner Fell From
 Second Story Window.

There is no longer mystery surround ing the death of Steve O'Flarety. the man found dead by Salvation Army off cer in the alley in the rear of Second avenue. between Twenty-first and Twenty second streets, according to the informa- ton secured by Coroner Paris, who has made thorough investigation of the affair.
 Coroner Paris stated yesterday that he was of the opinion that the unfortunate miner had met his death by falling from a second story window to the ground. All the facts in the case substantiate the coroner's belief. and even the friends of the dead man agree that O'F1arety was killed as result of an accident.
 The remains will probably be inferred near Bessie Mines, where the deceased worked so many years. Superintendent Reed and Murdick Warner. friends of the dead man, are expected to arrive tonight. and the body will be conveyed from the parlors of Gaudin & Go. tomorrow to the last resting place.

LEWIS MUST FACE
 CHARGE IN CORDELE
ARRESTED IN BIRMINGHAM AT REQUEST OF CHIEF OF POLICE JOHNSON, WHO HAS COME AFTER PRISONER.

D. Munroe Lewis, arrested Thursday by Detectives Bodeker and Hamilton, must return to Cordele, Ga. to stand trial for embezzlement for which charge he was arrested here.
 Chief of Police Johnson of Cordele arr rived in Birmingham last night for the purpose of taking Lewis into custody and conveying him back to the scene of the alleged crime. From what the Georgia officer says it appears as if the shortage of Lewis will be about 5000 and 1t is further stated that the end Is not in sight
 Lewis was employed in this city for several months by local firm and the mans acts were above suspicion in all his dealings. His friends are loath to believe that he is an embezzler and appear confident that he will be able to vindica-d himself when his case comes up for hear ing. The Georgia office states that the case against Lewis in cordele is strong one.

 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t is not drug at all but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present In the stomach and intestnes and carries them out or the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.

 sIn all these cities of greater or equal importance to Birmingham the tax is higher than per cent on gross receipts.

There is at present scarcity of teach CTS in Jefferson county and 1t Is being felt in the outlying districts. There are several schools under the jurisdiction of the county board of education which have been closed on account of there being no available teachers for them. The matter has given Superintendent McAdory con- siderable worry and he has been unable to fill the vacancies as they have oc- cured.
 The county schools in this immediate vicinity are all supplied, but fifteen more teachers are needed badly in the rural districts Three of the places that are vacant at present pay a salary of $50 per month with a school term of seven months In the year. and the others will average about $40 per month. The schools where the vacancies exist are in the lower end of the count. but they usually have large enrolment. Qualified teach CTS can secure positions with but very little trouble, because they are being sought after. It is stated by members of the county board of education, that all the schools in the county were supplied with teachers last year. not. however, without some difficulty, but great many of the old teachers have gone to schools in other counties and 1t has been impossi- ble to get new teachers to fill their places.
 Several reasons are given Tor the scare ity of good teachers. One Is that the most of the schools are located in undesirable quarters and another reason is that the

Bismarck 6, Wilton 5-One Of the
warmest ball games Of the season was
played at the park yesterday between
the Wilton club and picked up nine
of local players. While there was no
home run made by either side, and no
particularly brilliant plays, yet the two
mines were so evenly matched that
the interest was keen. from start to
finish. One of the features of the
game that brought the rooters to their
feet was Fishers fielding OF a hot liner
and his crawl to first base on hands
and knees, putting the runner out by
a second. The umpire was impartial
in his decisions and, gave satisfaction
to both players and rooters.

being given. 1t was a first rate exhi
biton OF the manly art, and as neither
man was satisfied with the outcome,

make it interesting. Winterer weighs
