should be accomplished inside of two weeks.
 After all. the time that the Commits sion will be in session may depend up on the time which the individual mem bers have devoted to the specimens of books that have been submitted to them together with briefs of the pub fishing house representatives. It will be recalled that an ironclad rule was adopted by the Commission at their initial meeting. piedging all members not to approach a book agent or be approached by one until the time they should meet this week and discuss the merits of the books in joint session. .
 Instead of the oral explanations of the agents they, were allowed the privilege of fiifng briefs with the specimens of books which they pro- posed to supply to the State. It is these books and briefs that the various members are supposed to have been ir- dividually busy reading and studying the past several weeks.
 The Commission when 1t meets here will arrive at one decision on the bids as submitted and the merits as dis closed by the briefs as well as the specimens. At the meeting this week there is no objection to the agents presenting themselves in person for argument before all members together. The isolation of the members ends June 1z. Then. to all intents and pur- poses. the "environment" opportuni- ties will have passed.

Lighter Is a friend of cotton and corn but not 30 much a friend as to be blind to the fact that cotton and corn sometimes produce very little results per acre In compar- ison with truck crops. His irrigation idea would be chiefly as q guide to those wishing to go into more profita- ble lines. He intends to show the farmers who will work--none of the drone kind-that every acre of the Co., mer land can be made to produce $500 net each year and nothing less.

If any hesi- tancy should be felt about making a contract. Mir.

B. c. Lighter. of Birmingham. the present owner of the Conner Plantations at Conner. was in Montgomery again yesterday and more fun of enthusiasm than ever. In fact, so enthusiastic that he wanted to tell everybody he met re- garding the great things going on at Sanford. Fla, and which he felt could be easily duplicated on the Governor Conner lands. He took with him Prof. N. A. McKennon and Dr. J. l.. Hous- ton. both of Barbour County. They went carefully over the remarkable work that is being done at Sanford by hard-headed business men and saw the intensive way In which 300 acres of land are worked at that point. Du- ring the past season 300 acres has re- suited in shipping 1900 car loads of produce and has brought to the men at interest s1,000, ,000.00 in absolute prof It's. Seven years ago. these sandy lands were selling for s2.00 an acre but cannot be bought now for s1,o00.oo per acre. It has been done by having per- feet drainage and Irrigation systems so that vegetation never has too much nor too little moisture. MT. Lighter admits that this may sound like fairy tale, but the men of Sanford are doing just this and more. MT. Lighter will. on inquiry, give the names of men to correspond with at Sanford, men whose word can be backed up by deeds. The shipping receipts of tho Armour Cold Storage Co. and the Pennsylvania Rail- road Co. would substantiate every statemenk

On the latter date the contracts made on September 1, 1903 will expire.
 The awards of contracts by the pres ent Commission will be the second since Alabama adopted the uniform text on all sides. has come to stay in Ala bama. Its success Is asured by the experience of even the five years that iG has been in operation.
 The personnel of the Textbook Commission on this year Is more num- erous and more varied than was the last Commission. Previously the Com mission was composed or only nVe members. two of whom were exofficio. being the Governor and State Superin- tendent of Education. The other three members were college presidents.
 The appointees of Governor Conner, named over two months ago. are nine in number, one from each of the Con- gressional districts, who, together with the Governor and State Superintendent of Education. make a total of eleven members. Not college president is to be found on the Commission at pres ent.

 The prediction made by one or two members of the Commission who were in Montgomery last week was that they might be in session here for prob ably more than month. One man ventured to say that it would require six weeks to come to final conclusion on some of the branches of study. Others there are, however, who believe, that the work of the Commission

JUDGE JONES SETS CIVIL
 DOCKET FOR JULY 6TH

When Judge Jones sounded the civil docket In the Federal Court yesterday. he notified the attorneys that the civil term would commence on the 2Srd of June. He found, that owing to con- fiicting engagements of lawyers in other courts, the intervention of the Fourth of July holiday and the meet ing of the State Bar Association, if cases were set on June 23. there would be several days in which jurors would be left without any cases to try.
 In order to avoid that expense and to accommodate litigants and the bar. he said he would revoke his order for regular jurors to appear on June 23, and instead require them to be here on July 6, and has set the cases be- ginning on that day, and cases were set up to August 6. This does not ih- clude some government cases such as suits on bonds. etc. nor does 1t dis pose of the equity docket. These will be called later,

Judge Young's plea for the home and It's comforts was magnificent. but the negro couple couldn't see 1t that way. or rather the woman In the case was blinded by the electric lights of the great city. and the case pasted out of Judge Young's hands when he discharged the man, Ed.

 Every year the government sells on thousands of rides, revoivers and other weapons. which have been more or less deteriorated by use. Even the Lebel rifles are sold off this way. although their secret is supposed to be jealous ly guarded and any private soldier who permitted his Lebel to fall into the hands of foreigner would be tried for high treason.

New Napoleon NIuseaIn.

American visitors to Paris this sum- nner are very much interested in the new Napoleon museum which has been placed in the famous little white house in the Bois de Boulogne, known as La Malmaison. in which Napoleon and his Empress lived and In which Marie An> toine4te had lived before him.
 There are quite number of inter esting exhibits among which Is the travelling desk which the Town of Flor enee presented to the Emperor. and also his travelling candlesticks. which fold ed into a fiat case and by the light Of which the great stragetist planned his campaigns.
 Ills travelling tent has been put in the garden. It is rather spacious affaiT made from grey burlap with blue stripes and was used afterwards by Prince Jerome in the Crimea.
 Inside the house are also the cradle of the King of Rome and that historic horror, the table service presented to Napoleon by King Charles VI. of Spain. J. Pierpont has donated to the museum the carriage in which the unhappy Em- press Josephine was driven to Malmai- son after her divorce.

Bourret On Experts.


 Paul BourRet, the famous French novelist, gave his opinion recently on the readiness with which medical ex- perts and alienists find pathological excuses for murderers. He believes that when murder is committed the killer should suffer death for the crime no matter what exceptional influences may have been at work.
 Whoever kills should be killed" he said, "and in the Mosaic code. which Is a modal of legislation, you will Sb- serve that this law is applied eyen tc animals. The OK which had gored q man to death was executed. Moses saw very clearly that in well-organ> ized society every rnurder-no matter of what kind---must be punished by death in order that the two Ideas should be always associated.
 The intervention of the alienists has decreased the respect for law and less ened the authority of the magistrates. Anyone would think that laws were made for the benefit and protection. r ot of society. but of degenerates. I am in favor of trying to regenefate the degenerates so long as they have not committed murder. Once they have committed that ultimate crime. they should be killed like savage beasts"
 Mfr. Bourgeois remarks. which were called forth by the doctors defense of Jeanne Weber, the "ogress who strangled nine children, have created wide discussion and protest.

 Some morning you will find among your mail, that is if you belong to the smart set a card inviting you to take part in o'clock balloon tea, from { to x o'clock" and the 'sx does not stand for ten, but the unknown hour of your descent. Your host has cushioned his aerial car as comfortably as pos sible, has set up small table in the center Of 1t and as the balloon raises gracefully from the aero-park at St. Cloud, the tea Is poured out, not always into the cup, but quite as often upon the hat or gown of some unfortunate below.
 The chief charm about balloon tea ing is It's uncertainty. You know when you go up but you never know now' when or where you get. There IS even 6 chance that you may never come down alive. No wonder the Tagged ouf nerves Of our society people are ds- lighted with the sport.
