cLEBUF.NE COURT ACT.
Governor Jelks Says Act Stands Re.
 peaIed So Far as He Knows.

Montgomery June 3.-(SpeciaI)- )-Be- cause of the failure of acts repeating county courts in some counties 1t has been decided by some that the court of Cleburne county repealed by special act came in the same class. This resulted in a movement to have the governor appoint judge and solicitor with the idea that the knocking down of come of the acts had the same effect on th!s one This is no doubt so, but there can be no ques- tion of the repeating act until it is brought before the court and declared invalid.
 In a letter to the governor. Attorney General Massey Wilson says that he has been unable to find any decision holding the act repeating the clehu-ne court void, though 1t is no doubt subject to the same weaknesses that invalidated the oth- CTS of It's kind. He says, however. that the terms of the judge and solicitor, four years each, having expired during the time the court was held to tc invalid 1t will be necessary for the governor to ap- point new ones If the court does knock down the repeating act and -e-establish the tribunal.
 The officers of the court when it was declared repealed were T. J. Burton, judge, and w B. Merrill solicitor These will be candidates for appointment to the places if it is set ID again, along win T. A. Johnston, who desires to be judge
 Governor Jelks said this morning that the act stands repealed so -sfer as he knows and that he will certainly not at- tempt to make appointments until the su- preme court holds that the repeating law was not properly passed

MILITARY MEN ARE
 ORDERED TO CAMP
ARTILLERY BATTALION GOES 70 ELECTRIC PARK IN MONTGoH- FRY FOR THE WEEK BEGINNING ON JUNE 22.

Montgomery June 1S-(special.)- )-The adjutant general, by command of the governor, has ordered the encampments of the Alabama Natiopal guard this year, not otherwise provided for, as fol- lows:
 First regiment infantry. Col. R. B. DuMont, Mobile, commanding, twelve companies and 600 men and officers, at Pickett Springs. near Montgomery, July r to 22
 Artillery battalion. Maj. s. T. Vest cott' Montgomery, commanding, three hundred men and officers, at Electric park, July p, for one week. There are four batteries in the battalion, one at Birmingham, one at Selma, one at Mont gomery and one at Mobile
 Colored company, Montgomery, into camp at Washington park, near Mont gomery, July 3, for one week.
 The Third regiment has already been ordered into camp at Anniston on June 15. for week, and the Second at Electric park, near Montgomery, July 12, for a week.
 Discussing the military camps and the conditions surrounding them today, Ad- jutant Geenral William w. Brandon call | ed attentions of all persons to section 5, or General Orders No. 10. viz: That the state will not be responsible for any bill incurred for any purpose whatever above the sum allowed by the act. This is pro- rated by the governor among the various commands and the commanding officer of each unit is responsible for bills in- cured by him. In the past the governor and adjutant generals office have been worried by accounts filed with them. All persons making accounts with these diff ferent organizations must look to the re- spective commanding officers for their pay. Company commanders are given notice that the state will be in no way responsible for any indebtedness incurred by them unless specifically authorized by the governor.
 The cavalry will be called into camp in Montgomery July 24 for five days. This is the plan determined upon but will not be officially announced before tomorrow

GREENSBORO HEARS
 CUNNINGHAM SPEAK
Commencement at Southern Unlver- sity Is Proving Unusually Bril-
 liant Affair.

Greensboro, June 13.-(Speeial )-This morning at 10:3o o'clock occurred the ora torical contest between representatives of the two literary societies.
 There were four speakers elected, c. D. Daniel and J. w. Frazer from the Bellies Lettres society, and B. McGhee and W. A. Moore representing the Clariosophie. The following was the programme: Music; c. D. Daniel Progress of Democracy:" J. w. Frazer, Japan and the Yellow Races;' Music: R. B. McGhee, Amer cas Altruism;" w. A. Moore, "The Poet Leaureate of the Confederacy;" music: address before the literary societies Lieut.. Gov. K. M Cunningham
 The address delivered by Lieutenant Governor Cunningham was one of the most scholarly and polished speeches ever heard on a similar occasion. He announc- ed as his subject "The Realms of Faith and Facts" To attempt to quote from this address would be an injustice unless 1t could be given as a whole. He first defined both faith and fact, outlined their reelms, then beautifully made the annIi- cation. Dr. Cunningham very good-natur- edly underwent considerable teasing hy some of the politicians present in rega rd to The Age-Herald's cartoon concerning his commencement speeches.
 Tonight c. C. Daniel and G. M. Dominica competed for the medal offered by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the alumni address being delivered by tbe Rev. Frank Seay. His subject was Ala bamas Greatest Problem" He .andIed his theme with great ease. His friends were not disappointed in his effort for ycung MT. Seay is one of the broadest and deepest thinkers of his age in inc state. He is a son of the late ex-Gov Thomas Seay.
 Taken as a whole, this Commencement Is proving a most brilliant affair

the 1st day of March to the slst day of May. It will be observed that there is a small falling off that the amounts received are not ratably as reat as the amounts received from the ist day )f October 1904, until the T st day of March, 1905. The contracts, -oweVer. which have been recently made will realize larger sum of money, and I am inclined to the opinion that the receipts will be greater for the next several months than they have been for the last three months. It follows if these estimates be correct that the net receipts of the department for twelve months will be something up- wards of a quarter of a million dollars. The statement from the treasurers de- partment Is as follows:

GILMAN HAS BEEN
 FOUND, BUT IS CRAZY
PROMINENT WILCOX CATTLE MAN WANDERED ON DESERT
 FOR DAYS.
(Tucson Citizen)

Dr. E. H. Crepin and R. 4. Alton, wno are attending John Gilman, the Wilcox cattleman, at the hospital, stated today that they believed he would recover from his illness, which was caused by exposure on the desert for four days and nights without food.
 Gilman was brought in last evening by Under Sheriff Henry Myers in a buggy. He was found by some Mex ican wod haulers lying on the des- ert about nine miles southeast of Tue son. and when the officers learned this last evening they immediately went after the demented cattlemaR in an automobile.
 Gilman was found stark naked on the desert. His body was somewhat scratched by cactus and he had dug a great hole with his hands in fran tic search for water. It is not sup posed by the physicians, however that he had discarded his clothes g great while before he was found, for his body is not badly scratched and bruised. as would have been the case had he wandered long on the desert without clothing.
 | At the hospital he showed plainly that he is insane. He accused the physicians of stealing his clothing. | It is considered strange that some of the ranchmen living southeast oi
 the city did not bring Gilman into
 Tucson. He was seen every day, but no one seemed to realize that he
 was demented.
