Montgomery September 19.-tSpecial)- The dead body of Charles NJ Shear was found in bed at the boarding house of Mrs. Baggatte in Bougahomme at an early hour this morning.
 An empty ounce phial with a lauda- nun label and another filled with the poison, by his side, told the story of sui- eide.
 Coroner Tice was notified immediately and deemed an inquest unnecessary. The coroner took charge of the body and pre- pared it for burial
 On a dresser the following letter was found sealed and stamped, addressed to Mrs. Charles M. hear, 222 Orange street. Jacksonville, Fla:

 The brother of the dead man was wired and he teiegraphed back to bury him here.

 Shear was about 23 years of age with curly black hair and was rather hand some. He was well dressed He was known to very few people and nobody seems to know what caused the man to end his life in such a tragic manner.
 Tonight a telegram was received by Coroner Tice from the Jacksonville of- flee of the Atlantic Coast Line authoriz- irg him to give the body a decent burial at the expense of the company.

AMERICA STILL
 CAN HOLD HER OWN
ENGLISH EFFORTS TO RAISE COT TON IN AFRICA HAVE so FAR PRODUCED NO VERY SERIOUS COMPETITION.

Washington, September 19.-(Special)- Despite the determined efforts of the wealthiest interests in Great Britain, in- cludng the cotton manufacturers, there seems little prospect of securing such production of cotton in Africa as will make England in an important degree in dependent of America, as a source OF supply for raw cotton.
 In this movement to make Africa com pete seriously with America in furnish ing the worlds cotton, Leigh Hunt an American ulti-millonaire, has enlisted his genius, his fortune and powerful sup port in England. His work thus far has been In the Soudan region, and is still in the stage of inception, so that it's future is very doubtful.
 But in West Africa, where similar ef- forts have been in progress for several years. poor results have been secured and recent reports to the department of com merce and labor indicate that American cotton-growers have little to fear from competition in this quarter.

 pr. Tom Henderson was a practicing physician in the neighborhood in which Albert Morehead lived and was More heads family physician. One of the Morehead children was sick Saturday and Dr. Henderson was called in profession ally.

ANOTHER LINE MENTIONED.
Tuscaloosa Belt Railway Is Key to the
 Situation.

Tuscaloosa. September 19-(SpeclaL)-In- terestng talk is still current about the streets in regard to the proposed pur- chase of the Tuscaloosa Belt railway. It is understood that another trunk line in addition to the Louisville and Nashville is a possible purchaser of this line The name of the trunk line, however, is so far withheld.
 The advantage and purpose in owning this line is the fact that 1t is already laid up to Holt, Ala, and by putting in a comparatively short extension 1t can tap other lines at BrooHwood, Ala, and from there connect with Birmingham. This would prove a paying investment for the reason that such road would penetrate and go through for some distance the richest coal fields of the state.
