KILLED BY WOMAN.

Laura Harris SIayS Joe Taylor at COt-
 tOnwOOd.
 Dothan, Sept. 7.-(Special. )-Yester- day Laura Harris shot and killed Joe Taylor at Cottonwood, ten miles below here, in this county
 It seems that Taylor went to the field where the woman, with other women of her family, was at work, and raised n row with her. He was persuaded to leave, and did so, but about noon he went to the house where the women had gone. They saw him coming be- fore he got to the house and Laura shut and locked the doors. When he got to the house he tried to enter over the protest of the women. Finding he could not get in at the front door he went around to the back door and was about to get in when Laura Harris stuck a shotgun out at a crack In the house and shot him. Taylor ran around the house and dropped dead. It seems that Taylor was drinking. Laura Har- ris, with her sister and grandmother, was brought here this morning and put in Jail.
 The Enterprise Lumber Company, which Is building the road from Dothan to St. Andrews Bay, has located the large mills here and Is getting them up as fast as possible. W. S. Wilson, who is doing the grading. has about ten miles graded.
 While playing in the yard Monday the 4-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. Jack Gresham was kicked by a horse. He kicked the boy just above the eye and crushed the skull and 1t was thought for a day or so he could not live, but up to now he is living and may re- | cover
 The cotton crop in this section is the poorest for many years. It will barely | make half crop and it will soon all be picked out All other crops are good.
 The Dothan High School will open on | September 13.

SYSTEM CHANGED.
Chinese Examination for Degrees Is
 Now Abolished.


 Now Abolished.
 Pekin, Sept. )-An inn portant edict has been issued in re- sponse to the memorial of Yuan Shai Kai and other prominent men abolish ing examinations for the old systems of degrees.
 By means of this system, established from time immemorial. China has re- cruited government officers. The idea of obtaining by competitive examina- ton the best educated men Is essen tially good but 1t has been rendered entirely futile by the knowledge de- manded. Hitherto the aspirant for honors was required to be proficient in the writings of Confucius and other classics, the ability to compose essays in a particul form constituting real ly a kind of literary juggiery. The learning so acquired was entirely use less for practical purposes while the close study required to attain the hec- essary knowledge prevents attention to other modern and more useful sub jects. Moreover, the posts of honor aI- ways falling to the lot of successful candidates thus educated discouraged efforts in the direction of Western learning.
 In future officers will be recruited from the ranks of those educated ac- cording to the modern system In schools to be established throughout the country. Examinations will be | held In tha various schools and not m | the central towns as formerly. This edict offers the strongest inducement to the Chinese to acquaint themselves with western learning and will prove a most effective means for China's sal vation.
 Another edict advocates the dispatch of increasing numbers of students | abroad, chiefly to America and Eng l land.

 Nogales. Ariz., Oct. Tt has now
 been nearly eight years since I first lcame to Arizona for my health, and in view of the many changes that nave occurred during that time, together with the great interest that has been Icentered on Arizona on account of her Hong continued fight, first for state hood and now against union with New
 Mexico, I thought this would be an appropriate time to tell your readers something about our climate and cOun- try.
 It was just eight years ago next month I was condemned by leading specialists of Washington, D. C., to go to Arizona. My trouble was cOnsump- ltion-pure and simple-and I was giv- len about three weeks to live after I should arrive at my western home. Preparations were accordingly made
 by my dear family for my departure in the hope that the last chance might be beneficial and the verdict Of the specialists prove an unwarranted one. Family ties were broken for the first time in my life and after dispOsing of my personal effects to each of my family I bade adieu little thinking that We would ever see each other again. But down deep in my heart was a determination to fight for my life, and after a long but pleasant trip of four da-s I reached Phoenix, my future home. It is hardly necessary for me to say that I was surprised up on my arrival to find such a city as I did. Naturally. like most eastern bred boys who had never been west and
 who only knew of Arizona at all from
 what had been learned from the school geographies, I expected to find upon my arrival Indians cowboys and a few Americans. among them. of course. the doctors who would smile as you landed
 knowing full well you would sooner or
 later fall into their hands. But my
 surprise was great when upon my ar rival l found. as a all the eastern sta tions, a class of people as refined and as considerate as one would ever care to meet. and on arrival at my hotel I
 was furnished with such homelilze com
 forts I could hardly realize I was
