NO SILVER DOLLARS HAVE
BEEN COINED THIS YEAR
Christmas Gifts of the Shining cart
Wheels VIII Have to Take
Some Other Form.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. q. = Appli-
eants at the Mint for ready coined sill
yer dollars, intended In almost every
instance for use as Christmas gifts,are
being told that they will have to be
satisfied with old, dull ones, as not one
single silver dollar was coined duriug
the year 1905. This is the first year
since 1878 that no silver cart wheels"
have been turned out, and only an
act OF Congress will enable any TO be
made next year.
But while the employees Of the Mint
have not been coining dollars they are
working overtime on pennies and i've.
cent pieces TO meet the unprecedented
demand for the smaller coins In one
day orders we're received for go, 900 10
pennies and $4,000 in nlckels These
orders broke all records.
To date there has been coined o.,
300.0 900 worth Of nickels and 5000, 900
Of pennies and IL estimated that at
least 600, 0OOmore In nickels and $780,.
900 Ia pennies would be manufactured
fefore Christmas.
All OF the departments Of the Mint,
with n exception, work until mid
night. The stamping department,
where the blank copper, nickel, sill.
yer and gold discs are converted into
coins, work night and day. Every
hour the seventeen presses turn out
$1,000 In pennies, OF 100000 pieces.
In speaking Of the fact that no
silver dollars have been coined this
year, Snpt. lands said:
From the present indications | do
not believe there win eyer be another
silver dollar coined. They are weighty,
bulkgand not popular. In vaults OF
the Mint are stored slO0. 100000 10
silver dollars. All Of the silver bull
lion which the Government owned
has been coined, and there are no pro-
provisions for the purchase Of addi-
tional silver
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw re-
Gently recommended that s., 600, 600 OF
silver dollars be recoined each year
into subsidiary coins.

THE COLBERT CAMPAIGN.
Hot Fight is on For the once of sher-
 tM of the County.
Tuscunbia,

Tuscumbia, April 2.--(Special.)-- With the County Democratic primary little more than a month off. the race for Sheriff is developing into heated and spirited contest, and the result Is puzzling even the veteran politicians who have heretofore been seemingly able to "call the turn" on contests for county offices.
 The primary is slated for May 7th, and the intervening tinfe will be made much of by the several candidates, all having an equal chance in the race There are at present an even half dog n entries. and the probabilities are that these will be all to start, and that there will be no withdrawals. Tus- cumbia has two candidates. the pres ent Sheriff. recently appointed by the Governor to succeed Sheriff w. E. Bevill. resigned, in the person of A. F. McClesky. and J. H. Gambill. who only entered the race last Friday. Sheff1eld presents two aspirants, Capt. w. R. Weston, for many years beat constable. and M N. Smith. Barton has entered J. E. Kelton, and Houston Elledge, from the country. makes the six entries.
 They are all running on their merits. personal popularity and party service. and each hopes to win. It is an ex- ceedingfy interesting and friendly con- test, and the vote promises to be more generally split up than in any race ever run in Colbert.
 The only other office to be filled in the county at the approaching election is that of Representative to the Leg islature, and as yet Dr. R. J. Thur mond of Sheffield is the only announced candidate. A. H. Carmichael, promi- nent lawyer and citizen of this city. and chairman of the Democratic Ex- ecutive Committee of the county. is being importuned by his friends to enter the race, but as yet he has not given out any assurances or determined whether or not he will become a candi- date. He is a son of State Auditor Carmichael. was a member Of the late constitutional Convention, and is con sidered fine legislative timber. The next few days will decide his candi- dacy, one way or another.

HiA Neck Rroken.

Louis Lubatiers, for the past twenty five years a member of the Working Mems Colton and Timber Benevolent met sudden and fright
 ful death this morning while in dis charge of his duty as foreman of a work ing force engaged in loading the Span
 ish steamship Niceto. with cargo of timber and cotton at the foot of Beauregard street. The first intima- ton of his death was when, at the sug- gestion of the captain of the steamship.
 owen McEvoy went into the hold to look at form lying prostrate on some timbers MT. McEvoy discovered to his horror, that Mir Lubatiers was dead
 and on subsequent examination it was found his neck had been broken. The was that in discharging the ladder from the main deck. the man
 sustained an attack of vertigo, lost his footing and hold on the ladder. and fell some distance. MT. Lubatiers was for years a member of the as sociation and had the reputation of all ways looking out for the safety of his men. He was about 42 years of age and leaves a wife and daughter to mourn his sudden demise. All of the cotton and timbermen in the harbor, as a token of sympathy. ceased opera tions when the news of his death was learned.
