Ii Everybody Works But Father" had been published only a few weeks, Lew Dockstader and his minstrels might have made a great success Tn Montgomery, just as his show has all ways made in this city.
 But "Everybody Works But Father had been sung in Montgomery by cap able singers six months before the ad- vent of the genial Lew. The tune, which Dockstader made probably the most popular that America has known, had been played and hummed and whis tied on the streets of Montgomery for five months. The public has become tired of "Everybody Works But Fath- er." From the time MT. Dockstader tried to arouse enthusiasm over the hackneyed piece and had failed ois- mally at both matinee and night per formances, his hitherto great minstrel show dragged and worried through a couple of hours. Occasionally there was an outburst of good old fun and now and then rattling good song was given the audience but as rule the nerformance lacked that ginger which has made Dockstader famous.
 Taking the various parts singly, no fault could be found with the enter tainment. The comedians, especially in the first part were good. The audi ence was served with a bill of fare by Nell o'Brien, Johnny King and Lew Dockstader and the work of these three men in the first part was great, always excepting everybody works But Father"
 The orchestra was as good as has ever come through Montgomery with a similar organization and some Of the hest modern minstrel singers are with Docistader.
 when the faults of the production arc anaiyzed, one finds that the cause of the trouble Is that practically every feature is timeworn.i

 Dothan. March 23.--(Spccial. )-The latest news of the Christmas murder case, in which. the family of three was killed, reaches Dothan in the last issue of The Slocomb News, published at SIocomb, several miles below here, and about ten miles from the Florida line. The article published by The News is as follows.
 "J. I. Brown who lives near Grace vile, Fla, and net very many miles from the scene of the murder, was in our office Tuesday morning, and gave us about the fullest report and one that seemed to be the most direct that we have received
 MT Brown says the detective who was a ventriloquist, by concealing him. self and throwing his voice so as to make it appear that the mule that a negro by the name of Brewer, who lived on the Christmas place. was blowing was talking to him, scared the negro into confession to the mule. As soon as tho detective heard the confession to the mule he went immediately to Dothan to arrest Wal ter Holland. Holland consented to go to Florida without requisition papers.
 After reaching Florida, Will Christ mas. a son of the murdered man, and Jack Brewer the negro who confessed to the mule were arrested and all three were carried to jail at Mariana
 Tn a committal trial, according tc Mir. Browns report, when the negro was put on the stand, Bill ChrlstmaS tainted. The negro stated that he. Blli Christmas. and Waiter Holland went into the house to kill the family, and that Holland killed tho old man and he (Jack Brewer), killed tho old lady and the boy He said also, that after the old man and tho boy had been killed. the old lady begged so for her life that he said, I can't kill old nlls. tes.'" whereupon Bill Christmas threw his pistol on him and with an oath said, If you don't I'll kill you then he proceeded to kill her

of the early market

congestion of the early market was threatened.
 The inevitable law of supply and de- mand would have forced prices down: As 1t is the Northern growers sumereo more than the Alabama growers, ana the result will be late market TOT Southern berries and still later mark ct for Northern berries with both class es of producers securing good prices: Mfr Lister introduced strawberries growing in South Alabama four years ago and he is an enthusiast on the industry. He says 1t is much more ini- portant than the average man appre- ciates. To understand the magnitude Of the business he points to the fact that over 14000 car loads of strawberries were consumed in this country last season.
 One acre of fairly good land will pro- duce from 100 to 150 crates of ber- rIes.. The market value of 100 crates of strawberries is from $z50 to $550.
 Asked as to the damage to peach trees in South Alabama by the freeze, Mir Lister said that there were not many commercial orchards in that sec- tion.
 'The primary effect of the freeze on >ach trees'' said Mir Lister shows that
 ast 75 per cent Of the crop has

ceding the final discussions on loca- ton was done yesterday when a num- Der of the body, accompanied by Pren- ident W. F. Vandiver went over the last of the suggested sites that have been offered for the use of the Associa- ton. Thus far no indication has been given out by any member of the com mittee as to what the probable out come of the deliberations of that body will be. It is expected that th@e will be a diversity of opinion when the meeting is first called, but this is a matter which will be regulated within the committee meetings. and settled before the final recommendations Is made to the Board of Directors.
 When the site Is finally selected. 1t will be only after every possible phase of the advantages and disadvantages of the differnt properties offered have been gone over and thoroughly eorn- pared and discussed.

NEW BRICK HOLDING.
Hobbie And Teague To Pat Up Fine
 Structure.

hOUbAe AnN TeA8ue 10 Put UD Fine
 Structure.
 A permit was issued by the City En- gineer yesterday to Hobbie and Teague. wholesale grocers, to erect four story brick building on Commerce street, on the property just south of their pres ent warehouse. This structure, when completed, it Is estimated, will cost in the neighborhood of $35,000
 The new structure will make de- cided Improvement in the appearance of that part of the city. It will be of yellow brick with ornamental cornices. It will contain three elevators, and will be of finished interior design. As this section of the city is the first part of Montgomery which visitors to the city see, the new building will do much to remove the unyightly impress sion made upon the travelling public.
 The work Aof excavation for the building was begun yesterday, and it is expected the structure will be com pleted about September 1.

 If 1t had not been for
 we would have begun shipping
 in carload lots from South AlaL- next Monday The car load shipments have been delayed until about April 15. The first crate of Alabama strawber- ries was shipped from Castleberry to- day by the North Castleberry Straw berry Association. They are of the Excelsior variety. As the acreage of this variety is very small the shipments will be light.
 We will begin loading cars with berries in South Alabama about April 15, and the car load shipments will continue until about May 10. Last year the Louisville and Nashville hauled from South Alabama and a small sec tion of Florida near the Alabama line, rinety-nine car loads of berries I think we will haul this year, notwith- standing the freeze, 150 car loads of berries. The increase in shipments Is due to the increased acreage. Last year the total acreage in berries on the Louisville and Nashville between Boiling and Century, Fla, did not ex- oeed 5000. This season in the same district there are 25,oO0 acres of ber- ries, but one-third of the crop has been destroy ,d. I do not anticipate as large yield in proportion to last year, be- cause the last third of the crop, as viewed from the number of blossoms, will not produce as we'll as the first third. However, I think we will get at least 150 car loads of berries this spring.
 Tt cannot be too strongly pointed out that double the number of pickers will be needed this year as was em- ployed last year. Laborers should not be scared off by reports that the straw berry crop is wholly destroyed"
 While many individual berry growers feel much discouraged over the loss by the freeze, Mir. Lister explained that the setback might work to the advant- age oe the Alabama truckers. Owing to the peculiar milduess of the wintor, r e said, strawberries were advanced in growth as far north as Chicago and if the mild weather had continued 8
