FIRST COTTON
 REACHES GADSDEN
Honor Shared By J. W. Jen-
 nings and M. 3. Wilson
ATHLETICS ARE ORGANIZED
Col. R. 3. Kyle Is Taken Suddenly III and Is Taken Home, Where He Is Resting Very
 We'll.

Gadsden, September 10.-CSpeclal)-
 Gadsden received her first bale of cot
 ton today. It was bought by L. L.
 Herzberg for 25% cents a pound. The
 bale weighed ssO pounds. The honors
 of the first as well as the premium were divided between ]. ". Jennings and M B. Wilson.
 Both of these men are among the
 most progressive of the farmers of this | county. Both men came in about the same time. in fact Jennings was a lit tie behind his rival, but a little bet 1 ter luck In having it ginned put him
 on the market place first. The quality of the cotton was good, although just 1 a little green.
 The criminal division of the city court of Gadsden will convene on next
 Monday. full docket awaits disposal at the hands of Judge Alto V. Lee The venire of jurors, both petit and grand have been summoned the many wit nesses subpoenaed and all preliminary
 work accomplished that Judge Lee will no doubt pretty well clear the docket during the session. The senior class at the Y. NJ. c. A. was organized for the fall and winter a athletics at the rooms of the associa- I tion last night by Prof. Chairsell, ath l letic director for the association. Great | interest was manifest and although no 1 real work was done the class showed up exceedingly well. The class will u-n a coming season and some good teams for indoor sports will certainly be de- veloped.
 Col. R. B. Klye. Gadsden's premier citizen was taken suddenly i'll today while in the city attending to busi- ness and had to be taken to his home on the mountain where at last reports he was resting we'll
 Colonel Kyle is S2 years old, but continues in active business and really does more work than most men are willing to do at 30. He has the largest | individual interests of any man in the | city and thus far has always kept in personal touch with all his affairs. Elby Green, a negro. raised dis | turbance at the Park theatre last night | and then gave the officers good chase before he was arrested. He also put up quite a scrap against the police and was fined s20 in court this morn | ing for resisting the officers | During the progress of the play at the Park show last night the announce | ment was made that MT. Park, together with local capitalists, would erect theatre in this city. The Park tent l tn eatre has been coming here for number of years and has always found such announcement that MT. Park. who owns several playhouses in other towns | has concluded that a regular opera house in this city would prove a good | investment.
 Accordingly he has taken the matter up with local parties with the result as announced last night. This IS convenience that has long been in de- mand here and If the present plans are carried out will suplpy long felt want.

MT. GunnelIs Talks.

NIT. GunnciiS dikSs
 In explanation of his doubts in the premises Superintendents Gunnels makes the following statement:
 Tt occurred to me that there were certain conflicts in the education section of the municipal code and section 256 of the constitution. l, therefore, asked At torney General Garber for his construc- tion of the section referred to.
 Under the code of 1896 it was made the duty of the superintendent of educa- ton of the state to apportion the school fund to the various townships and dis tricts in the state in proportion to the number of children of school age residing therein. The school fund under the law at that time was absolutely a township or district fund and was in no sense a county fund.
 Section 256 of the present constitution, however, seems to attempt to make the fund a county fund instead of a district fund. A part of that section reads as follows: The public school fund shall be apportioned to the several counties in proportion to the number of school chil- dren of school age therein and shall be so apportioned to the schools in the dis provide as nearly as practicable school terms of equal duration of such school districts or townships

 What He Will Do.
CONFLICT BETWEEN CODES

Montgomery, September 10.-(Special J. school fund will be distributed to the various and separate school districts, as has been the case in the past or to the county superntendents, and by the coun- ty boards of education to the schools in all the county territory Is now agitating State Superintendent Harry C. Gunnells and Attorney General Garber Hereto fore 1t has been the practice to send direct to the districts passing the amount on the number of children in the district in question.
 Lately, however, it has become d ques- tion whether or not this is correct and to get at the right of the matter MT Gunnells has asked MT. Garber to rule on it. Under the old code the state superintendent had to make the distri- button to the districts, but it seems that this is not justified without further opin- ion in the new regulations. If it is held that the money must be sent to the county superintendents and by them dis tributed it is feared some of the separate territory will not get as much money as they have been receiving. For in stance, instead of sending the money for Montgomery to the city board it would go duty it is to see that 1t is sent so as to give all the schools the same length of term as nearly as practical.

 But you know that it's safe to rush into Porter's at the last minute because Porter's is always Par tcular.

FOR DIR. HEERMANCE.

Movement Started for Erection of Fit
ting Memorial,
A movement has been started for the
erection of fitting memorial to DR..
Theodore Woolsey Heermance, Yale SO,
formerly director Of the school at Ath-
ems and one of Yales most distinguish
ed alumni.
A friend of the school has suggested
that a permanent tribute to DR.. Her
mance's memory would be most fitting,
and has given one hundred dollars to-
wards fund Of which the interest
shall be used for the purchase of books
on ancient architecture for the library
of the school at Athens, each book pur-
chased with the income of this fund to
bear a special book-plate in DR.. Herr
mance's memory Such memorial
seems peculiarly appropriate, since DR..
Heermance was specially interested not
only in the study of classical architect
ure, but also in the development of this
library. Additions have been made to
this fund already, and the hope is felt
that it may amount to at least one
thousand dollars.
This plan has the cordial support and
sympathy of Professor Seymour and of
Professor ]. r. Wheeler chairman Of
the managing committee Of the school.
L. d. Caskey, secretary Of the school,
is acting as treasurer, of the fund Sub
scriptions in this country should be
sent to Professor S. E. Bassett, Univer-
sity of Vermont, Burlington, Vt.

A POPULAR CALENDAR SUBJECT

The well known and enterprising
State street druggist, ]. A. Caryl who
from year to year has had very hand
some New Years calendars, this season
sustains his reputation in that respect.
The present one is an elegant work of
art, and the artist is the famous Ed
mund H. Osthaus. Mr.. Osthaus has
been renowned among Americans as a
painter Of hunting dog subjects, and is
conceded to be in the front rank in that
particular. The present creation of Mr..
Osthaus is entitled "a Forgetful Old
Friend" Besides a number of dogs in
the scene, there is a wonderfully real
istic picture of an old man, who, alb
sorbed in reading, is oblivious of the
presence of his faithful dogs which
gather near him and with mute but ell
oquent looks endeavor to attract his
attention.

A STRANGE VISITOR.

At the Gun Store on Church street
can be seen several specimens of a
hawk known as "Goss" hawks. They
frequent cold climates, and have never
been known hereabouts until this win
ter. Many have been killed by local
sportsmen, and they are rare sight.
They are swift on the wing, and can
outfly even a carrier pigeon. Par
tridges, quail and woocock stand no
show when they once discover them,
and they are being hunted by all lovers
of this game, as it is feared their pres
ence here will exterminate the game
