SCOTTY'S OWN STORY.
Tells How lie Discovered His Mine and the Way he is
Enjoying His Wealth.

From some of the things that have
been said about me I would not blame
people for thinking l am all kinds of a
fool, but before they play that lead
they had better skin their cards and
look for something better. l reckon my
critics never drank alkali water and
lived on whang leather and Chueka-
walls lizards; if they had they might
appreciate the taste of champagne and
French cooking" said Walter Scott,
now known from San Francisco to New
York as "Scotty.'' as he sat ir his
front room in the St. Francis hotel re-
Gently and talked freely of his expert
ences. 1t is not necessary to refer to
him as Mr.. Scott, he is "Scotty' down
among the desert mountains, the crease
wood, the sagebrush, caeti and rattle
snakes, among "men with the bark
on, and he is "Scotty" in the million
dollar hotel.
"Scotty' is about 80, born in Har-
rison county, Kentucky, stands 3 feet
IL and weighs possibly $50
pounds. He does not take to fine raj
ment like the "Coal Oil ~Johnnieso or
the "Diamond Joes;" no sparklers or
silk underwear for him. He wears a
black SLOUGH hat, blue wooden shirt,
dark gray mixed coat and trousers,
leather belt, and except for the fact
that he is brushed, his shoes polished,
and smooth shaved, might be ready to
chit the trail' with his burros. He
has a full face, deep blue eyes, ready
at any time to break into a laugh, but
a well moulded jaw that under mo-
ments of strain sets as hard as the
granite that is said to frame the ledge
from which comes his gold. This is
"Scotty,' but he tells his own story
best.
"No, sir, / am not buying any gold
bricks, neither am | selling any; /
have nothing to sell and | am not buy
ing anything only plenty of good eat
ing and something to drink. / like
champagne; it tastes good to me. Yes

places and | am playing no favorites.

other; have to, telephone bell rings all
the time and keeps me awake. Then

81 was working on a geological sur
vey down in the Death Valley country
and / saw that the Funeral range was
mineralized. After 1 finished my job
on the survey | went back into the
country prospecting. / struck a ledge
that looked good ito me and went to
work on it; worked until my grub gave

was about four feet wide and / got as

CONTEST FOR ESTATE
PETITION FOR RECEIVER OF L.. K
 BOULTIER's PROPERTY.
Wanam'h Home Ayers that Pending Appeal Mrs. Grimm is collecting Income from Property
 in Dispute,

:fhe Working Women's Home Asso- citation, which is contesting the will of the late L. K. Boultier. yesterday filed a petition before Judge A. ID. Sayre. presiding over the City Court of Montgomery in Equity. asking for the appointment of a receiver Tor the Boultier estate.
 It will be remembered. that two wills of L. K. Boultier, who was an aged Montgomery photographer. were nled in the Probate Court of Montgomery County. One of these wills left the property to the Workingt Woman s Home Association. A later will left the property to his step-daughter. Mrs. R. May Grifln of Lakeland, Fla, who, a number of years ago in Montgomery, as Mrs. Spivy, was the defendant In sensational triet for murder, 1t being charged that she poisoned her husband. of which crime she was acquitted
 The second will was declared W have been forged by a jury In the Probate Court Mrs. Griffin immediately an- nounced an appeal to the Supreme Court of Alabama and until the Su" preme Court decides the case. Judge J. B. Gaston of the Probate Court de- clines to turn the property over to the Woman's Home.
 lexed that Mrs. Grimm is now in full control of the property; that Charles E. Teasley, appointed a special admin istrator of the estate by the Probate Court has no powers, and that Mrs Grimm is pocketing all of the rents incident to the estate, which amounts to something like $75 per month. It is further alleged that it being proven that the Grif1n will is fraudulent, she is not entitled to a penny of the es- tate.
 1t is further alleged that tefore the case is finally decided ten or more years may elapse, during, which. time Mrs. Grimm will be getting all of the enaoluments. to which she is not en- titled.
 The petition .prays that Judge sayre appoint a receiver for the estate to hold until final action Is taken in the case. Judge Sayre has not set the matter down for a hearing.

 have received many inquiries as to my success in production of honey at Bayou la Batre, and am now in po- sition to state that have more than realized my expectations. From fifty four colonies of Italian bees have taken 3,294 pounds of honey, spring account, making an average of sixty one pounds per colony By controlling

There Is q tall weed here that at this writing. September 20. is in full bloom, and my bees are storing much honey from 1t. It has a small white bloom which is very fragrant and yields nec-
 tar equal to titi and gallberry, and there are hundreds of acres of 1t in
 reach of my apiary.
 have never seen this weed anywhere else, and am ignorant of it's botanical name. but will soon get the information by sending a sample to the Department of Agriculture. Besides this weed there are other wild flowers that produce nec- tar in the fall season, making this an excellent bee pastorage for fall storing of surplus honey.
 The greatest yield here is obtained from titi and gallberry in the early spring. and the quality of honey pro- duced is of the highest grade. There is vast unoccupied territory for bee keepers In Alabama and Mississippi and apart from the pleasure derived from the pursuit the remuneration Is satis- factory.
 Beekeeping is fascinating to one whose heart is in the vocation and one must love his bees to make a success of the business and every progressive

POOLE AND THE FAIRS
COMMISSIONER IS INTERESTED IN
 STATE EXHIBITS.
Agricultural Department Will he We'll Represented at Birmingham and
 at Selma~~TO Judge
 Georgia Exhibits.

Commissioner of Agriculture R. R Poole has returned from a short trir to Birmingham where he went to take a look in on the State Fair preparations that are making in that city. He says that everything is proceeding satisfac- torily with the makeup of the State exhibits in Birmingham although 1t is not yet complete.
 The directors of the Georgia State Fair association yesterday wrote Com missioner Poole letter In which he was offered a place on the list of judges for its Fair which will be held October 9-21 in Atlanta. Commissioner Poole is not certain yet that he will accept the appointment because of pos sibfe conflicting engagements at the time that he may be needed. How ever, as he has the power to name an alternate to act in his place he said yes terday that he would in this case select the very best man he knew in Alabama.
 Chief Clerk Jesse c. Adams, of the Department of Agriculture and InS&s. tries. is in the northern part of the State collecting products and other things that are to be placed with the State exhibit in Birmingham. The Fair in Birmingham will begin in the latter part of October and continue for 6 week
 Commissioner Poole said yesterday that the Alabama exhibit at Birming- ham. after the Fair there, would be removed to Selma for use in the Central Alabama Fair at that point which be- gins November '. The State. through the Agricultural Department has con- tributed to these tw" Fairs this year about $4,000. The money will be ex- pended jointly and while the scheme of the exhibit in each will be the same it will be necessary to resuppIy some of the farm products which are perisha- ble.
 According to information received by Commissioner Poole from President J B. Ellis. of the Selma Fair; it will be a great success. The people of Selma are Supporting the project with re- markable energy as are also many of the wealthiest and most influential agri, culturists Of the State. West Alabama particularly is reported as showing unsual interest in the event. The Fair beginning on November will run five days. closing on November Il Its beginning Is close behind the end oi the Birmingham Fair.
 From all accounts obtainable of the progress with the two Fairs. the one al Selma will excel that at Birmingham from an agricultural standpoint.
