HENDERSONS WON SUIT
VERDICT, AGAINST c, H, M'FADDEl
 IN FEDERAL COURT.
Litigation Involved a Claim for 1,SOO Bales of COttOn-Case Against Life Insurance Com
 Rany Is Argued.

petit jury in the United States Court yesterday morning returned a verdict in favor of J. E. and w. E. Henderson of Troy, in the suit brought against them by C.. H. McFadden & Bro, and others of Philadelphia, in volving approximately $10.000. The suit was based on the sale and delivery of 1.500 bales of cotton It's trial was stubbornly contested and 1t consumed nearly a week. The lawyers closed their argument to the jury late Tuesday evening, when the court ad- Journed until 10 o'clock yesterday morning
 When the court convened yesterday Judge Thomas G. Jones charged the jury, which retired about II o'clock. The jury reached a verdict for the de- fendants within thirty minutes.
 The court then took up the case of J. w. Farrior of Birmingham. against the Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York, MT. Farrier sues to re- cover $5,000 on life insurance policy, the controversy arising over the char acter of the policy delivered to him.
 An interesting point was raised by Judge Jones announcing that he held an ordinary life policy in the Equitable Society. He explained that the char acter of his policy was such that he WdS not Il StOcknOlQeT m the society. However. he desired the parties to the suit to decide upon his competency to preside at the trial
 Lawyers held a conference and waiv- ed any question as to the competency or incompetency of Judge Jones.
 Plaintiffs demurrers to pleas were argued at length by the lawyers. after which Judge Jones overruled the de- murrers.
 The case will probably go to petit jury today when the taking of testi- mony will begin.
 The case of Kahl Montgomery against the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, was continued by the de- fendant.
 The case of Frank E. Creelman against William F, Uptegrove & Bro, was continued generally.
 The call for today Is as follows:
 F. H. Collins vs. the Central of Geor- gia Railway; the Cook & Laurie Con- tracting Company vs. the Alabama Chemical Company.
 Judge Jones yesterday excused Paul Hoffman of WaveTly, a petit juror, for the term.
 The Federal grand jury still con tinues in session.

CHANCELLOR NOTNAMED
GOVERNOR WILL MAKE THE AP-
 POINTMENT TODAY.
Probable That Either A. H. Benners or s. A. wood VIII Succeed Hon. J. j. AIfman--Ninor
 Appointments.

The suspense in Jefferson County poll itics was carried through another twen- ty-four hours yesterday by Acting Gov ernor Cunningham who postponed the Iappointment of Chancellor of the North eastern Chancery Division until today.
 The appointment is to provide for a successor to the late Col. J. J. Altman. Only one application is before the Gov ernor, aud that Is from Hon. Sterling A. Wood of Birmingham.
 Delegations of Birmingham lawyers visited the ofice of the Governor Tues day anal numerous recommendations have reached the executive office in be- half of Hon. A. H. Benners of Bir- mingham. MT. Benners has sent no ap- plication to the Governor, but 1t Is cer- tain that the activity of his friends counts the same as if a communication had been put in directly over his sig nature.
 Hon. A. H. Benners is recognized as a very abstemious citizen of the State when politics begins to bubble. He had stated no desire for the temporary Chancellorship which he now holds, and to which he was appointed last week by the Governor.
 It is the consensus of opinion that Hon. A. H. Benners and Hon. Sterling A. Wood will be found detached from dlI others OH tHS StIebcn WHICH WILL be reached today.
 The office of a second Justice of the Peace in Beat 45,. Ensley, which was reopened by the nullifieation of the Ensley Inferior Court, is still vacant. The Governor said yesterday he would hold the office open only few days longer. This Is for the purpose of allowing the deposed judge, MT. Manly, of the old Inferior Court, to acquit himself of the things for which the re- cent grand jury of Jefferson County is alleged to have criticized him, 1t being the policy of the Governor to appoint the ex-judges in such cases when they show clear records. The following executive appoint ments were made yesterday: Notaries Public and Justices of the Peace--John Hatley. Precinct 1S, Mar shall County; Patrick C. Simmons, Blue Springs.
 Justices of the Peace-J. c. Cobb, Blountsville: F: M. Lindsey, Forney; J.

GOLD, STILL COLDER
TEMPERATURE MAY GO TO 10 THIS
 MORNING.
Montgomery ia In the Throes of the severest Weather of this Winter The Blue Birds Have
 Flown.

The expected cold wave arrived quite emphatically, giving Montgomery the coldest weather, so far. this winter.
 The temperature here yesterday, as registered by roof thermometers of the Weather Bureau, was IS degrees. At the ground level, 1t was about 1e de- greess
 It is expected that 1t will be even colder here this morning. when the mercury may contract as low as 10 above the zero mark.
 Several days ago some one remarked that the bluebirds have come and that they never arrive until after the winter is over and danger from severe cold has passed" The blue birds In this case must feel blue indeed. or hurriedly hied back to the warmer cline they had been too previous in leaving.
 The following low temperatures were reported at southern stations yester- day: Birmin gham, above; Meridian Macon and Montgomery IS: Mobile, 32; Jacksonville, 34: Atlanta, 6; Charleston. 2S: Memphis, 2; Nashville and AsheviIle. ? below zero.
 The warning issued by the Weather Bureau Monday for this cold wave was well distributed and doubtless averted much damage by freeze.
 A severe snow and windstorm pre- vailed along the North Atlantic coast yesterday. with almost the entire coun- try under influence of the cold wave.
 For the first time this winter pupils in several of the city schools were sent home yesterday owing to defective heating apparatus In the buildings.

KRUG'S REFORMATION.

 Col
 Herr Krug was disturbed. Billips, though drunk as usual. noticed 1t, and so did Captain wriggs. All three lived on the third floor of Mrs. Hop- kfns' select boarding house on Parker Street, and all three dwelt in peace and amity. Billips had duties at the dry dock and. as he generally came home drunk, these duties were sup posed to be arduous. Krug was em- ployed at the wharvess of the German steamships and Captain Wriggs looked after the interests of some tow boats. sas
 Hes in love., said Billips, who, it was rumored on Parker Street. had been disappointed in love in his youth.
 Its his liver" growled Captain wriggs. he needs ealomeL"
 MT. Billips shook his head sentimen- tally. he would not have suggested calomel. a.sss.
 Of late, it had ben a habit of Herr Krug to sing passionate German love songs in his room at night At least BilIips said they were passionate love songs, and as he did not understand German. no doubt he was right. but the songs worried Captain Wriggs.
 If they were 'ye heave ho." l could slep to 'em." he said, with feling, "but that gihberish keeps me awake"
 When Krug summoned his fellow boarders to a conference in his room, they felt something of importance was to be considered
 'Adein friends" began Herr Krug.
 Aye, aye" interrupted the captain.
 "--it was bad for q man to be al- ways alone" continued Herr Krug, he should have a frau. a wife"
 Billips wiped his eyes. A man of sentiment was Billips.
 If a man can sail his ship with out a mate. why. all the better" re- marked the Captain. who was a con- firmed bachelor.
 But he cannot" urged Krug, "he must have a mate. A man must have a wife to be happy. In Pommern," ne continued, looking pensively at the ceiling, T left two madchen, girls, they was twins"
 Captain wriggs made grimace, he disapproved of twins.
 "One.' continued Krug. still gazing at the ceiling. "has hair like the wings of the midnight, eyes as black as the bunker coal; the other. she has hair like the shine of gold. cheeks like the rose. I left her in Pommern. I left there my heart also. I find
 Billips was deeply moved; he sob- bed.
 q find" continued Krug, that the twins yet not married are. will im- port them and marry them."
 "Both of 'em?" asked the Captain, scandalized.
 NO, mo-" replied Herr Krug. '1 meant Hedwig of the hair of gold. of the cheeks of the rose. Katrina. she has the hair like the coal. Ach, He'd wig, mein schatz. I long. for thee, Meir Heber friends I have sent for Hedwig. I win import her. She comes"
 When was she shipped?" inquired the captain.
 she was due tomorrow; it will be thirteen days. Ach, how slow they move these days" groaned Herr Krug
 They were thirteen days of anx- iety to Herr Krug. If the weather stormed he besought the Captains opinion as to whether the steamship would be likely to tsuccumb to its violence If 1t was calm he lamented the absence or favoring winds to has. ten the passage of his sweetheart, Then Krug mounted the stairs three at a time.

WILL SUE PROWELL
STATE TO RECOVER FROM MAREN-
 GO PROBATE JUDGE.
He Has Not Replied to Auditor sOweIl'a Demand for S3,OS0.3S Reported Due by Examiner
 Sedberry.

State Auditor T. L. Sowell yesterday authorized Attorney General Massey Wilson to institute suit against former Probate Judge S. P. Prowell of Maren- go County, and sureties on his bond. to recover an alleged shortage to the State of $s,Oss.ss.
 This amount of shortage, 1t will be recalled. was reported to Governor Cunningham several days ago by As sistante State Examiner G. F. Sedberry. The criticism which accompanied the report Is recognized as one of the severest on dle.
 The debt for which fthe Attorney General is authorized to sue consists of licenses alleged to have been sold by ex-Judge Prowell during 1904 and col lected for. but of which no report was made to the State Auditor nor remit tance made to State Treasurer J. Craig Smith.
 T find Judge Prowelrs books in inexcusable confusion," reported Ex- aminer Sedberry. There were no en- tries made on his books of any licenses at all To say he practiced gross carelessness or criminal negligence would be putting it mildly"
 After Acting Governor Cunningham had reviewed the report he referred it to the State Auditor who made a written demand for $3,039.3S on ex- Judge Prowell January IS. Not having received any reply of any sort from the former probate judge of Marengo County, the Auditor wrote letter yes. terday to the Attorney General au- thorizing him to bring suit for the amount or take such immediate steps as in his judgment are necessary to protect the State.
 Judge Prowelrs alleged indebtedness is divided into two classes of unremit- ted licenses. One is for $l,642.15 rep resenting the amount of licenses sold, issued and collected for between Feb ruary l. and April 26, 1904. The other is for S1,s6O representing licenses sold

The new Isaac Putnam shorthand Bible brings out the fact that the pre- else number of words in the Old and New Testaments is 773.692. making 800 pages as against 1000 pages of text in an ordinary teachers Bible. At fair reading pace. say 200 words a minute. one might get through 1t in sixty-four hours, so by reading something like ten minutes a day one could accomplish the achievement of reading the Bible through once a year.

Sharp advance in cotton took place about this time last year. Why might 1t not happen this year? Not as much cotton has been actually received as people think. But what has all this to do with the house being painted? It will surely rot if you don't paint it and Sun Proof Paint will take less and wear better. So this much must be attended to-cotton or no cotton. adv
