ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Young Girl Near Florence Was Disap-
 pointed in Love.

Florence, July 31.-(Special.) al.)-Disappoint ed in love and crazed with jealousy, Daisy Cox, a pretty 1S-year-old country girl, living six miles from Florence on the Huntsville road, this morning shot herself, inhicting a wound which will probably prove fatal. The girl was an orphan and made her home with her sister Mrs. Dora Rickard. The young man whose faithlessness I>oved her undoing was Guy Rckard. the brother of her sisters husband. The lovers quarreled Sunday night and she told him she meant to kill herself.
 About o'clock Monday morning Miss Cox made a pretext to send her sister from the house and the latter had only gone a short distance when she heard a pistol shot Returning to the house she found Miss Cox lying in the door that sep arated their rooms with a stream of blood flowing from wound In her stomach. The girl after firing the first shot had started into the adjoining room to reload her pistol, determined not to fail in her effort at self-destruction. Both the Cox and Rickard families are prominent and prosperOuS farmers.

LIGHT HAIL IN TALLADEGA

Montgomery, July Sl.-(Special.) )-The weather report for the week, as made by the Alabama section of the weather bureau, is as follows:
 Showers were general and heavy to slightly excessive in the northeastern and some of the central and eastern coun- ties during the early and latter parts of the week and in the extreme southeastern and extreme southwestern counties on Thursday and Sunday. However, the mornings were generally clear to partly cloudy, the rains occurring mostly during the afternoons or at night. The rainfall was light to moderate in the south-central and western counties. In a few of the middle counties, the rains washed lands, and were accompanied with high winds on several dates. Light hail fell in Tal- ladega county on the evening of the 23rd The weekly mean temperature for the entire state, 9 degrees, was slightly be- low the normal.

A ROUNDED EDUCATION
 FOR EVERY GIRL
Converse College Has Perfected . Beautifully Rounded Standard of Artistic, Scientific and
 WomanIy Education.

It is not imagined at Converse that Col lege Pedagogy resolves itself into the theory of least resistance. Although par ticular pains are taken to educate every girl according to her tastes rather than athwart them, still instruction in science and mathematics is @ painstaiing and capable as any other.
 Mathematics here rises to the intergral calculus, and science to organic chemis- try while in other departments are of fered, for example thorough courses in economies. psychology, etc, all for the sake of breadth, recognizing the educated womans cultured interest in all things human, yet cherishing in constant remem- brance the fact that woman's interest, a woman's place in the world demands the womanly education of women. For the exceptional woman there are oth- CT institutions, but at Converse College 1t is not believed that the average girl cares or needs to be specialist. For instance, in art and music while the specially talented girl Is given fullest op- portunity. still each and every individual is taught to hear and see with that un- derstanding which insures full interpre- tation and appreciation of masterpieces.
 All in all. above all things, Converse College. of Spartanburg, s. C., stands for the highest perfection in comprehensive, rounded education for girls.

SEWER COMMITTEE
 GOES TO COUNCIL
MEETING HELD IN GADSDEN OF ALLEGED VIOLATION OF CON- TRACT IN SEWER lNSTALLA- TON IS THRESHED OUT

Gadsden. July 31.--(Special )-The sewer Investigating committed. appointed at the last meeting of the Commercial club, con- sisting of Capt. J. M. Elliott. Jr. chair man. A. D. Simpson and Dr. Vann, met last night for the purpose of discussing the progress being made in the sewer investigation in reference to the alleged violations of the contract on the part of the contractors in charge of the install ing of the sewer system in this city.
 Several citizens besides the committee were present. Captain Elliott stated that the object of the committee in inviting citizens to be present was to show the city council that the investigation was not at the instance of any one man, but was the desire of number of represen- tatlve citizens. The committee had no desire to appear antagonistie to the coun- cil, but it seemed the inclination of that body to take the part of, and defend the constructors instead of representing the people. The contract with the West Construction company was then read and discussed at length and the violations pointed out. as were in the original charges which were to the effect that the pipe being used did not come up 10 the standard. and that the streets were not being put i> proper condition. Shade trees were being ruined. The third charge was that the cement being used was not up to the standard and that the sand being used was not clean enough. The sand. however, had been improved upon since the agitation had commenced and a better grade of cement was being used. The committee decided to appear before the council and present the matter and ask that a committee be appointed from that body to cooperate with them in the Investigation
