His left clavicle was fractured. a portion of the bone punc- turing the left lung. his right shoul- der was bruised. his face was badly lacerated and his body was painfully bruised. He was taken to St. Mar garet's hospital where 1t was said last night that he was suffering consld- erably from his injury. Relatives of the injured hagman are concerned about his condition. especially in re- gard to the punctured lung which is thought 10 be the only serious wound and the one which is causing him so much pain.
 Mir. Bowman was standing near the coal chute fence in the Louisville and Nashville yards in North Montgomery when he suddenly observed a large road engine.

FORCEFUL SERMON
DIR. MATTHEW'S ENDS MISSION
 MEETING AT ST. JOHNS.
Members of Congregation Urged to Rouse Themselves From Their Lethargy and to Cease to
 be Indifferent

The Mission meeting which was held during the last week at St. Johns Church and conducted by Dr. Mat thews was brought to a close last night with a very strong and forceful sermon.
 There were three services yesterday, one at II o'clock in the morning, an- other at o'clock in the afternoon and the evening service at 8 o'clock. The service in the afternoon was for men but there were very few present ow- ing to the indictment weather.
 Dr. Matthew's sermon was very informal talk to the men present but one which went to the heart of every one in the congregation. He told of the indifference to the church which was the almost universal attitude of men. He urged them to rouse them selves from this lethargy and if they had any sins which were telling on their moral character to turn from their former ways and let Jesus enter into their lives. Dr. Matthews urged them to confess their sins and they would be forgiven, as the Lord had promised this to every one alike.
 Dr. Matthews will leave on the s:1o train this morning for Selma

The men are anxious to keep on working just as long as they can. No statement is made that the demand on finished Iron and steel is beginning the waver and the belief is expressed that as long as there is a demand for the pro- duct the mills will be kept :n opera tion.
 Coal operations in Alabama were never better than they are at the present time. While State Mine In- spector J M. Gray declines to give an estimate as to the production now 1t is safe to estimate that the produc- tion Is from five to ten per cent greater than 1t was sixty days ago.
 Positively no intimation is given that the demand is going to slack up during the summer and the miners are anticipating a steady season of work through the year. The home con- sumption of coal. too, is heavy while outships are growing. Coke les in fair demand with good prices obtain ing.

The properties of the Lookout Mountain Company are loca- ted in DeKalb county, Ala, on the Queen and Crescent Railroad.
 As far as can be learned. no date has been set yet for the rolling mills in this district closing down for the summer. There is usually a shut down of a month or two in the hot season in order to give the men a rest and to allow certain repairs to be made.

The wake of e wagon, laden with bees. is not safe nor even comfortable wake to follow.
 Will Mattel. prominent planter of Montgomery County, who drove behind . wagon on which he was having some hives of bees removed from his home at Naftsits Station to Showdown, Is probably of this opinion. During the passage some of the bees escaped from the hives, goaded the mules drawing the wagon into such fury that they ran away. They stung MT. Naftel, who had bravely pursued in his buggy, and axso the negro driver. terribly.
 The wreck of the bee wagon occur rcd several miles from Naftel's Station. The hives had been placed on the wag- on and were to be taken to Showdown. A negro was on the wagon, and MT.

 It will be another year yet before the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad will reach Birmingham, though contractors are at work be- tween Talladega and Bessemer. Be- fore long. if the present buying of property continues the railroad will have secured all it can use in the pro- grassive town. Real estate agents in Bessemer have been kept busy lately looking up owners and making deals. The attorneys of the town are busy examining deeds and preparing the transfer papers. The fact that the new railroad will Ko through an important part of the city brings up values to a high mark.
 According to rumors. the new rail& road has purchased from the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power Com pany. its waiting station property in Bessemer and the street railway com pany has in turn purchased other property to use as a waiting station. On top of the actual buying property by the new railroad coming into this district. the statement is made that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company intends locating repair shops in Bessemer.

 New Orleans capital up to short while back was greatly interested in Bessemer property and considerable holdings are still in the Crescent City. New Orleans people were among the first to place confidence in the little town and while some of them lost money and quit waiting for the boom to come on, others will feel the effect of the same now. N. H. Sewell. who formerly lived in New Orleans, now a resident of Birmingham, is one of the men realizing from the boom that has started in Bessemer. He has been sell ing his property off right along in the three or four days and he does not deny that he has been getting hand some profits thereon.

lAay Become Necessary to
 RepLant the Cotton Seed

all parts of the State were bad and the complaint that the cotton has not como up and that many farmers do not ex- peot 1t to come up. is general. some farmers have already gone to replant- ing. The question arises where will the farmer get his seed when he goes to replant7 Tn recent years cotton seed have brought such a big price that the average farmer sells all except what he needs for planting. In a great ma jority of cases the farmer has found that the seed which he saved for plant ing is worthless.
 The State Department of Agricul- turn believes that 1t could do no bet ter service than locate seed for sale. which the farmers can buy. have al- ready begun this work. Good seed are scarce all over the South. and 1t is no easy matter to find seed in large auan- titles. am afraid, too, that the price will be high as compared to that at which seed can ordinarily be bought"
 MT. Wilkinson located on Saturday 2,500 pounds of cotton seed to which he can direct a farmer who has to replant. That, however, he says, Is only drop in the bucket to what will be needed. In the meanwhile. he Is telegraphing to other cotton States and writing let ters to other points in Alabama to find seed which will be sold to the farmer.
