THE new COUNTY BOARD
i Starts off, Harmonousfy and Uses
g. I. Business Methods, - -

= The new board of county COM
missioners got down to business
Monday, and the way they made
things hum was surprising to
the employees around the court
house, who have been used to
nearing arguments of the late
chief and bets Of oranges and
bananas on disputed questions
as they came up. Mr.. Samuels,
the new commissioner; from the
Fifth district, is injecting a few
business methods in the con-
duct Of the county's business
that will not only expedite mat
ters in passing on county affairs
that come before the board, but
will result in a great saving to
the taxpayers. Parliamentary
tactics have sheen relegated to
the rear, and the business is at
last handled in a business-like
manner. There is no one on the
board who is anxious to build up
a political faction in the county,
and everybody is going to get a
square deal. Commissioners
Nesseth and. Malony, and other
new members, take hold like old
timers Commiss sioner Furstenau
makes an ideal chairman, and
keeps things: moving at a. rapid
pace. His knowledge of the old
business is valuable to the new
members, but the old methods
will be revolutionized. !. The peo.

material which comprises the

Fred Strauss Believes Consular Service
 Should be Supplemented.
 New York, June 7.-At the monthly meeting of the chamber of commerce.. a letter from Fred Straus, of the De- partment of Commerce, was read in which he emphasizes the belief that our consular service should be supplement- ed by the establishment of a corps of commercial attaches. Secretary Strauss letter was In reply to a resolution adopted at the last meeting of the chamber urging upon the department the necessity for more complete infor- nation from the American government representatives abroad on foreign tar ifs and foreign trade generally.
 The Secretary, in his letter, reviews the progress already made in more complete and accessible consular re- ports and in the work of special agents now sent abroad to study foreign mar kets of the various industries. He adds that he thinks a departure should be made in the direction of the com mercial attache systems employed by England, France. Italy and Germany, our chief rivals in trade, through which they are able to obtain a broader view of the situation in foreign markets than is possible by our own business interests MT. Straus remarks that in- ternational competition for the worlds markets has grown much keener and more active in recent years and 1t de- mands greater vigilance and exertion on the United States part than here tofore.

A CHILD IS DROWNED
BABY BOY FALLS IN CREEK AT
 PRATTVILLE.
Little Son of John w. Benton Loses Life At Same Spot Where Lit- tie Girl Died Eight Years
 Ago.

PEattville. June 8.-(Special.)- )-Tha eighteen months old boy of John W. Benton who resides on Plank Road left the back yard and went in Autauga Creek and was drowned before he was missed from the yard.
 The dwelling is located near the bank of the creek and 1t seems the family had regarded him safe heretofore, but this morning he went down to the creek and is supposed to have fallen in and no one being near to pull him out, was drowned. perhaps an hour be- fore his father missed him and on searching found him in shallow wa ter.
 Medical aid was summoned. but it was too late to revive the little fell low who will be buried at Oak Hill cemetery tomorrow morning.
 This child was drowned very near the place where a thirteen year old girl was drowned about eight years ago. At this place the creek runs through what is locally known as Thomas's addition to Prattville. There are about three or four hundred citi- zens living there, and the dwellings are located On both sides of the creek. The little girl who was drowned there. fell from a cross log used to avoid going up the creek about half a mile.
 Prof. George White, IT,, who was elected by the board of trustees Of the academy here has resigned and will not teach the ensuing year.

 Of Her Husband.


 New York, June s.-Both deLancey Nicoll and Clarence J. Shearn, oppos- ing counsel in Mrs. Gould's suit against her husband for separation. are de- voting all of their time to preparing briefs to be submitted to Justice Me- Call. on Monday. on MT. Nfcolfs ap- plication to him asking that certain allegations in MT Goulds complaint be stricken out on the ground that they are irrelevant and scandalous. Justice Mccall will take the briefs under con- sideration and announce his decision later in the week.
 Both MT. Nicoll and MT. Shearn said that the suit was at standstill until d decision was obtained. Mir. Nicoll has asked for additional time. after Justice McCall's decision to answer to the complaint. The suit itself will not be heard until late in the fall owing to the crowded condition of the courts:
 It is expected that the next move in the case, after Justice McCalrs de- cision, will be a motion by the plain tiff for alimony. Limitations have been given that the sum to be asked for will be $25O,000 a year. Mrs Gould 1t is stated, will allege that the in- come of the defendant is $1 100000 year and that she is legally entitled to one fourth of it. If MT. Gould disputes this estimate of his income a referee will be asked to appraise his wealth.
