AS there is only small balance left
of the appropriation set aside for con-
Quoting the teachers examinations,
the Department of Public Instruction
has requested all county superintend-
ents to limit the examinations to new
applicants and those not holding a
state certificate at the present time.
Those holding conditional or limited
state certificates, and those holding
complete first or second grade certif
Gates, which expire on March 1st, 1906,
will kindly hand them in upon the
first day of the examination for re-
newal, or secure an application blank
from this Office, fill out and mail same
together with your certificate IN time
to reach me upon the first day of the
examinations. Those which do not
meet the requirements for renewal will
be extended, and made valid until
Sept. 1st, 1906.
1T is, of course, not intended that
amy teacher shall be deprived from
taking the examinations, butin order
to limit and reduce the cost of reading
papers, and also to cause the least in
terruption of the schools which are in
session, this plan is suggested. Any
teacher whose certificate expires Sep
t snber 1st, VINO fails to have it either
renewed or extended, will be consid-
cred as ineligible to teach in Stevens
coanty. We expect;at the conclusion
of the coming examinations to be able
to Till our schools with teachers hold
ing state certificates, Therefore no
THIRD Grades will be issued during the
spring term.
Yours very truly,
Ray s. ROBERTS,
4sts Superintendent of Schools.

HOLIDAY OF CONyICTS
SOME C0NTRACrORs DTD NOT COM
 FLY WITH REQUEST.
President Carmfchael of State nearI of inspectors Received Letter from PrissnerA and Gives Out .
 stntement.

President J. M. Carmichael of the State Board of Convict Inspectors, who returned to Montgomery yesterday from a trip to Southeast Alabama opened letter from many convicts in a camp in the Southern part of the State which thanks the Department in glowing terms for the request the Board made of contractors to give the convicts 8 Christmas holiday. s@
 Tho Board President wore Q smile as he read of the gratitude of the con- victs to him and his associate mem. Ders. But sfrown supplanted the smile. there was a halt in the reading of the letter. when the last paragraph was scanned by Judge Carmichael's eyes. After the appreciative convicts had poured forth their thanks.s they added, But we are sorry to say, our bosses didn't give us a holiday"
 Judge Carmichael was visibly disap- pointed. He had decreed an extra holiday, either Saturday or Monday, on account of Christmas. to some 1000 or 1.20o convfcts under the management of the Board, but depended upon the charity of those contractors who were not compelled to make the holiday con- cossioE. Some of the contractors granted the holiday. others did not.
 It was the occasion for the President of the Board to look into the future to protect the convicts and give them more regard.
 This but shows the necessity for the State to have absolute control of the convicts." said Judge Carmichael. we have tho care of over a thousand con- victs in the hands of the Board. We of course. cannot strike at the con tractors who see fit to deny the holi- day we requested for the moral well fare of the convicts when nothing ip the contract guarantees the conces- sion.
 The wardens all report that those convicts who enjoyed the extra Christi mas holiday were very thankful for 1t. An elegant dinner was spread Sunday and there was good cheer in all the camps"
 The Board has several renewal con- tracts before it for consideration.

 For Occupancy.
Advertise- Bureau.

Advertisa~ Bureau. Selma, Dec. 31.f Two prominent cotton factors and merchants of this city gave estimates today on the number of bales of cot ton that will be sold in Selma. There were 10000 bales difference in the es- inmates. but both agreed that tte to- ta iwould exceed 110.ooo. which will be q record year. One factor said i 4,v..55, and the other gave an estimate of 12e.ooo and both avowed conserva- tism
 But 10000 or i2o.ooo. Selma has re- gained her prestige of the eighties as cotton market when even Mont gomery in the center of such great territory didn't equal her receipts.
 The receipts up to date as shown at the cotton exchange are s6.oss. with 25.43s stock. The price is 6 1-2 cents.
 Here is the way the most conserva- tive of the two conservative men es- timate the crop and the sales at Sell ma: aR
 'tOf the ss.0ss, received or of the 1000. expected for the entire sea- son about 10000 has been sold at an average price of about g IA cents or something like s4S.5G per bale, which amounts to considerably more than $500 .000, up to date. There are 40,- 900 bales to come. taking my estimate. which will be sold at about $50 per bale which will come to $1,2o0. 900. Then the total for the season will reach nearly s4.500.00o, rough estimate.
 T think 10 per cent of the entire crop in Selma's territory. or about Ill., 900 bales, will be held out and market ed next season.
 This will be an almost unpreceden- ted showing for Selma which will re- asseft her importance as a cotton mar ket."
 My estimate of 12e.ooo. I think, will be found to be as accurate as possible oRhand," said No. 2.
 There is undoubtedly a great deal of sentiment against the census re- ports fin this section of the State on account of their alleged inaccuracy. One mau said that he could point out a dozen gins in this territory that had not made reports. Another prominent merchant said that the reports of the ginners were mere guesswork. and that the custom had become a menace rather than a help.
