WATERWORKS
 PRICE FIXED
An Agreement Last Night
 On SI50,OOO
Arrangements for the Con tract to be Made Next Thursday Night.

A long step was taken last night tel ward the requirement by the city of the plant of the Phoenix Water com pany. Attorney L. H. Chalmers. rep-I resenting M II. Sherman. met the members Of the city council at an in-l formal meeting at which all the esseu-I tials to the deal were tentatively agreed upon.
 It was stated by MT. Chalmers that General sherman would sell the water works for S15O,OOO and the members of the council agreed upon that as the price. Accordingly. it was decided by the members. that at a regular meet ing of the council to be heid on Thurs day night. a committee should be ap-I pointed to confer with MT. Chalmers and take part in the preparation of a contract for the purchase of the water works. At the same time. the city will request the city attorney to draw up a contract in conjunction with MT. Chalmers. after which, congress will be asked to authorize the city to make use of the proceeds of the present bonds for the purpose of the sherman plant
 Thus the long standing muddIe over the water works question is in fair way to be disposed of and all the fran chises to be wiped out. MT. Chalmers on behalf of several of the heaviest property owners in Phoenix. took this matter up with General sherman as long ago as last June, and has been working on it ever since.
 One of the results of an arrange ment into which the city may enter will be the closing up of the litigation at Cincinnati over the bonds which are tied up there by an injunction issued on the application of General sherman last summer. MT. Chalmers said last night that the net income of the prop erty is $24,OOO a year. All this will be turned over to the city as soon as the purchase price has passed, thus en- abling it to make extensions of the plant as they are required without the expenditure of the proceeds of the S3OO,OOO bond issue. General Sherman will aid in any way in bringing the matter to an early conclusion.

 As result of this verdict the negro has escaped with his life, but will prob ably serve life sentence in the state convict camps. He was tried yester- day in the court for the murder of Ella Anderson, also colored. who was shot near Millview in October. Shavers had threatened the husband of the woman, and when late at night some person came to their home and called for him to come to the door, she responded instead, and received the contents of a shot gun, dying almost instantly.
 Shavers was arrested, and the evi- dence was strong that he committed the crime. He endeavored to prove all alibi. and claimed that he was asleer at his home when the deed was com mitted, and in this he was supported by friend and relative. The Jury, how ever, found him guilty, but recommend ed mercy.

President Vandiver Made
 Report. PROPERTY IS WORTH St2s,OOO Appoints Committee, to Present Claims to Legislature. Directors Plan Campaign to Secure Ap- proprintiOn from Lawmakers to Aid Agricultural show-Tribute
 to General Holt.

The financial statement made by the officers of the Alabama Agricultural Association to the Board of Directors at the meeting held. yesterday mofning shows that the Montgomery State Fair of October made a profit clear of all possible expenses of between $4.700 and S5,000. Tn view of the large scale on which the Fair was operated, and in view of the fact that thA Fair was the first one held by the Association, the financial showing was regarded as most satisfactory.
 The definite figures as to the profits were not announced at the Board meet ing yesterday by President w. F. Van diver, because not all the railroads en- tering Montgomery had submitted statements as to the amount of coupon tickets they were due the Association. The failure of the railroad companies to make these statemehs have delayed the making out of the financial report Railroads that are yet to be heard from by the Fair Association are the Atlantic Coast Line, the Union Springs and Northern and the Western of Ala bama Railroad. The figures of the net profits as given above are, therefore, estimates, based upon the reports from the railroads already received and from the expected reports still to come.
 lH6 nuancIal SldteHlenl SflOWOu' luA . ther, that the State Fair grounds, to gether with the extensive improve ments which have been made upon them, cost the Association $S1626.04. A conservative valuation of the property as it stands today is $125,00O.
 Loving Cup tO General HOIt.
 The directors meeting yesterday was largely attended. Tn calling it to or" der, President Vandiver announced that the meeting had been called in order that q report on the financial condt- ton of the Association could he made, together with a statement of the re- turns and expenses of the Association s first Fair. The directors present felt a sense of qualification that in spite of the heavy expenses of the Fair-foI money was freely spent when 1t was thought that such spending would be for its benefit and advantage, sub stantial profit had been made.

 shannon was very much frightened when taken into, custody, and endeav- ored to secure his release frqnl Sherift Butler, promising to forever 9and eter- nalIy make himself scarce in these parts.

 One of theN biggest land deals in which citizen of Dothan has even been interested was consummated yes- terday When '. R.

His new real estate acquisition is located in Call houn County, about twelve miles north of st Joseph. MT.
