MANY WANT PLACE
SUGGESTIONS FOR SHRIEVALTY
 ARE NUMEROUS.
No Information Given Out at GOver- nOr's Office--PubIic RumOrs In- definite, But Seems to Center
 About Graves and Henderson.

With the expectation of Governor Co., mer's return Tuesday the gist of con- versation upon the petitions for ap- pointment to the office of Sheriff of Montgomery County, vacated with the death of the late Hon. Samuel s. Bel ser, Is at once more immediate and moderate; political prophets, as the hour of reckoning approaches more nearly. are disposed to modify their once positive representations by the addition of subsidiary conditions.
 From the Governors office in the Capitol no information upon his pol icy in the matter of the appointment has been made public Hon. W. D. Fort. Private Secretary to the Gov ernor, has consistently, from the time when the news of Sheriff Belser's death made known that the appointment of successor to the office would be necessary. declined to afford any facts to the public.
 Wait till the Governor comes back" Mir. Fort has said, and until the Gov ernor comes back tomorrow it Is very probable that the public. whose curi- osity Is as acute as the anxiety of the aspirant individual, will not know who is to be who.
 Of the citizens regarded as candidates prospective, probable and possible, per haps Adjutant General Bibb Graves has been most eminently a favorite. General Graves. like others supposed to be willing to accept the office of Sheriff, has not said if he has applied or will apply for appointment to the po- sition, but he is generally regarded as desirous of the place. As indications of his influence to obtain it. his per sonal friendship with the Governor and his ability in assisting the Governor in the last gubernatorial campaign are constantly spoken of
 But others who worked to elect Mir. Conner Governor are expected, like General Graves to present their names with indisputable assurances of their capacity to discharge the office.

 MONTGOMERY
 AS A MARKET Greatest Cotton Seed
 Center in State. oEE-sIxTH OF PRODUCTION That is Amount Brought to This
 City Annually. About Fifty Thousand Tons of seed Is the Estimate of the Montgom-
 cry Market Every

Fifty thousand tons of cotton seed, valued at $l,000,0oo. are brought into Montgomery every season and manu- factured into meal and oil and by-pro- ducts worth perhaps twice at much.
 Roughly estimated--and the rough ness of the calculation Is not SD ln- tense as to bruise or tear the tender cu- ticie of Truth 900 tons Is thc amount of raw seed imported into this city. About 30O.000 tons are crushed in all in the State, and Montgomery there- fore gets one sixth of the total pro- duction. Montgomery is the greatest cotton seed center in Alabama. It draws its lions share--a lions share of cotton seed is a very, very far-fetcheo figure of speech, indeed--from an ex- feusive territory. The companies op- erating mills in the city have buyers in far distant towns and through them. they lay hold of the potent ally that is so influential in maintaining King Cotton upon his throne.
 The two principal products of the seed are meal and oil The meal Is utilized as a commercial fertilizer and as a food for stock. The oil Is manu- factured into food products. one of the best known of which is substitute Tor lard. Another, quite as popular. ent not so we'll known. is olive oil: the cots ton seed oil, being sent on a voyage to Italy and then imported direct" suners a sea change without lying full fathom five like the unfortunately submerged person in The Tempest, the lying in the present case being of different kind and done not by the aid--but by prestidi- gators, who buy cotton seed oil from the crushers and by the touch of fine Italian hand on the far side of the seas are enabled to sell the pure juice of the olive. And her product of the seed Is a substitute for butter sometimes That's a secret, too.
 The hulls, from which the meat has been taken, are food for stocks so there Is practically no waste.
 The prices of cotton seed as sold by the farmers have steadily risen, and s20. which Is approximately the current price in Montgomery, is considered normal in present conditions. Before the discovery of the immense value or the seed. they were thrown back upon the fields as fertilizers. There Is very little of 1t thrown back now; 1t is sold and part of the resultant proceeds IS paid for regularly manufactured fertfli- ger, which Is utilized instead of the raw material.
 The seed industry is growing in Montgomery. The several mills here are large in mechanical equipment and In extensiveness of business. They are growing and they are making Mont Komery to grow. They make good market for farmers who spend their seed money with the city's wholesale merchants

BIG DEAL CLOSED
Mannfacturfng Company
 Sells Extensive Milling Plants.

Sells Extensive Milling Plants.
 Jackson, Oct. 6.--(SpeciaL) )--The ex- tensive milling plant of the c. w. Zimmerman Manufacturing company. has been sold to the Mcintyre Lumber Company of Jackson. The deal has been under consideration for several weeks, but was not closed until few days ago.
 The property transferred by the transaction consists of all the timber owned by the Zimmerman Company, the railroad which is about twenty five miles in length. together with all the rolling stock. shop. etc. and all the machinery. The timber. however. is sold by stumpage and not in bulk. No land is included in the transfer. ex- cept that on which the shop is situated.
 The amount of money involved in the transaction can not be learned, but is svariously estimatd at half million dollars and upwards.
 It will be recalled that the saw mill of the Zimmerman Company was burned in June. The plahing mills and the stock of manufactured lumber on hand, however, was not destroyed.
 Jackson will be loser t- some ex- tent bN reason of the fact that the plant wiil not be rebuilt. but 1t is un- derstood that the Mcintyre Lamber Company will greatly enlarge its plant and employ all the people who have been given employment at the. other plant.
 They will put in another saw mill at their plant, which will double their capacity, and they will then run both mills day and night. This will call for a double force and will employ twice as many men as have been working at both plants.

BETTER DISCIPLINE
BOARD or PUBLIC SAFETY TAKES
 A HAND.
Pensacola Fire Laddies and policemen Must Re on the Alert or Else
 They May Lose
 Their Jobs.

Pensacola, Fla, Oct. 6.--(Special. )-- The Board of Public Safety, which has control of the police and fire depart ment, has determined to have better service and discipline from it's em- ployes. as evidenced by the discharge recently of two firemen, the suspension of one police officer. and the dismissal of another.
 Last night another .stcp in this direc- tion was taken when the captain of hose company No. 3. stationed on East Zarragossa Street. was dismissed from the department, and the chief and as- sistant of that department of the city service instructed to hereafter pay more attention to the truck houses. and endeavor to visit them oftencr dur Ing the night than has been the cus- tom. All of the firemen, Including the captain dismissed last night, were up before the board upon the charge of absenting themselves from tiie truck houses without permission of tho chief or assistant. leaving their places of duty at night and in some instances not returning until the following mcrn- ing. sas 4ss
 Captain Rierra of hose company No. 3, was tried at the meeting when two men of his company were dismissed, but at that time the captain was ex- onerated. Later developments caused the chief to bring charges against Captain Riera, and when the testimony was heard by the board the captain was dismissed from service.

A Record voyage.

The quickest voyage ever made from British Honduras to Pensacola has just been completed by the American schooner Doona Christina, Captain Mc- Leod. The schooner sailed out of Be- lize on the morning of October i, and was inside of Pensacola harbor before night fell on the 9th, thus making the trip in five days.
 This is the record voyage. so far as is known in this section, and more than equals the speed of some steam vessels between the two ports. The schooner had just gotten under way, leaving Belize when she encountered strong and favorable winds. These continued throughout the voyage, the vessel cutting the water at a terrific clip, and not until she crossed Pen sacola bar did she at any time lower one of her sails.

Maynard Dodd, cable expert in
the employ of the Commercial Pacific
Cable Company and now located in Ho-
noluIu, was recently decorated with the
order of the Sacred Treasure by the
| japanese government for the active
part taken by him in the laying of
the Guam to Toxic cable and in the
opening up of communication on this
japanese branch of the cable. The
decoration had been sent by the gov
eminent to New York for presenta-
ton by the japanese Consul General
there, but as Mr. Dodd had been trans
ferred to Honolulu the decoration was
forwarded here to Consul General Saito
and by him presented to Mr.. Dodd last
week.
The japanese cable is the direct con-
Meeting link between the main cable
of the Commercial Pacific Company and
Toxic. When the cable was first laid
to Manila and Shanghai it was con-
templated that a direct japanese con-
nection would be put in at once, but
the work was not completed until last
year. In the laying of this section of
the cable Mr.. Dodd played an important
part, but his work was brought more
directly. into the notice of the Japa-
nese officials by reason of the fact that
for some time he was stationed IN
Japan and instructed the japanese oper-
ators in the working of the apparatus.
When communication over the line was
finally opened Mr.. Dodd was the man
in charge.
The decoration presented Mr.. Dodd
is graceful recognition of the part
he played and is something priced very
much by the recipient.

at the top of the serenaders. Through
out the ports in the Orient visited by
the cruiser the company has given per-
formances that have been social
events. Particularly was this the case
in Hongkong and Manila, and there is
every indication that this will be the
case here. The company comprises the
best comedians, singers and dancers on
the ship, if not in the squadron. This
performance will be given for the bene-
fit of the widow of j. Whitmore, late

end man, who died in Cheefoo. He
was clever actor and much thought
of by his mates and as token of the
esteem in which he was held the boys
are giving the performance.
There will be an abundance of fun
during the. first part and the come

paradoxical, will be the storm center
