Montgomery, June 19.-(Special.)-An inn portant decision was handed down by the supreme court of Alabama yesterday which decides the most essential point in the game law. Will Barclay was con victed in the city court of Montgomery ". H. Thomas, judge, for hunting on the lands of another without written permis sion of the owner. He appealed the case to the supreme court and in the opinion Justice Mcclellan, in affirming the case, said in part:
 .sThe proof shows that the defendant had the written permission of the tenant, for the year 19O7 of the premises in ques- ton, and that such tenant had the ex- elusive charge, possession and control of the lands on which the hunting was done by the defendant.
 .Section A of the act contains this pro vision: That it is hereby made unlawful for any person to hunt on the lands of another without first having obtained from the owner or agent thereof a written per mission to do so.' Was the permission held by this defendant within the pro- vision quoted? The evident purpose of the act under consideration is the preser- vation, propagation and protection of the creatures enumerated in the act. It is not, except as a mere incident, directed

 cerns at Selma.
HE WAS IN BAD HEALTH

Selma, June 19.-(Special. )-Dead by his own hand was the fate of Frank s. Brown, well known citizen, the tragedy occurring at his home, corner of Green and Alabama streets, at o'clock this morning. MT. Brown has been in i'll health for quite a while, some time gain. ing relief from his illness but often suf. fering agonies which he communicated tc no one.
 About o'clock shot rang out from MT. Browns room on the second floor of his residence. Aaservant rushing into the room, found the unfortunate man lying across the foot of the bed in his under- clothing, his top shirt clutched in his fingers, while blood flowed from an ugly wound near his heart. Near the bed stood an old-pattened Winchester rife, from which the shot had been fired. No one saw the shot, and whether it was acci- dental or intentional will never positively be known, although the indications point to self destruction.
 It is barely possible that the weapon was taken up by MT. Brown and In his weakened condition allowed to fall and was discharged. The theory of suicide is, however, uppermost in the min6s of everybody who knew his condition. He had not appeared unduly Respondent of late, but had suffered greatly from in- somnia, and it is thought that this led to his self-destruction. He talked with members of the household last night and had arranged to assist in the repair of a pump on the premises this morning.
 He is survived by his wife, Mrs Mary Brown and two children, Mrs. Marie Steubbins and MT. Phillip Brown, the latter of Pensacola, Fla. Mrs. Steubblns and Mrs. Brown were downstairs when the shot was fred and the shock to them may be easily imagined. Besides the immediate members of his family, MT. Brown is survived by one brother, Her bert E. Brown, of this city, and two sis- ters, Mrs. Eugene Johnson and Miss May Brown, of Pine Hill. He was born in Barnwell, S. C., in 1852, coming to Selma when about IS years old to accept po- sition with the old Selma, Rome and Dalton railroad. He afterward managed the commissary for the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad the suc- cessor of the Selma. Rome and Dalton. and of late was bookkeeper for Jud Bris- lin. He was connected with a number of mutual benefit insurance associations and was highly esteemed as a citizen and a man.

D., No. 3, had q considerable sum of money saved, but did not keep 1t in the bank. A few days ago as the family was at work in the field it was deemed inadvisabe to leave the money at the house so it was taken to the field where it was laid down in a sack together with some other things of special value A cow which had access to the premises, came along and found the sack and ate it up with all its con tents. The exact amount of the loss could not be learned, but it is said to have been enough to work great hardship on MT Farrow, who is hard-woriing farmer.

MEAT IS ON THE JUMP,
Another Advance of Sc In the Price of Meat-Here's Good Substitute For Meat.

The retail meat dealers and butchers have been notified by the packing houses that the price of meat has been raised cents a pound on account of scarcity of live stock and their inability to oper- ate all the packing houses on account of the floods As the packing houses at Kansas City are all flooded 1t is impos- sible to kill fresh beef and the dealers will have to rely on the present supply in cold storage.
 Meat was already high enough to be luxury to most people but this addi- tional advance will place it beyond the reach of most pocket books. Fortunately we do not require as much meat in sum- mer as we do in winter and the deprva- tion will not be hardship to most peo- pie, especially those who know the high nutrtive value of shredded wheat biscuit which may be obtained of any grocer Shredded wheat contains more real nutri- ment than beef or eggs. costs much less and is much more easily digested. Two shredded wheat biscuits with milk or cream and a little fruit will supply all the energy needed for a half days work and at cost not to exceed or 6 cents. It will be pleasant surprise to the stom- ach as well as the pocketbook.

IMPORTANT DECISION
 ON THE STATE GAME LAW

l to the protection of the lands against tres- try on the premises of another is not made, by this act, unlawful. In the light of these considerations it is not difficult to determine from whom only the justify ing written permission must be had. The term owner must be given, as employed in this act it's primary meaning, which is ne who has the title as distinguished from a mere possessory right, to the premises. This construction is rendered certain in correctness by two considerations, addi- tional to the general purpose of the act to which we have referred. The quoted section confers the prerogative to give the written permission on the agent of the owner, thereby plainly evincing an intent to confne the right to confer the privilege of hunting on one action for and in the stead of the owner, and thus excluding the tenant whose possessory right is of course, inconsistent with that of him who holds title. The second con sideration is based upon this provision of section A said written permission shall be good for one year from the day of it's issuance unless otherwise provided there Tn, and said permission shall expire unless otherwise provided at the expiration of one year from the date of its issuance If the tenant who is, of course not an agent of the owner in any sense, could issue the permission 1t would result that the right so conferred on the hunter might extend behind by many months the termination of the tenants term. Ger a by his act. It Is wholly inconceivable that the lawmakers phrasing this en- actment as they did purposed to clothe the tenant, whatever may be his term
 with the power to confer the hunters privilege beyond the tenants tenure"

WATER COMPANY
 PLEADS POVERTY Cannot Comply With Demands
 of AnniSton ERNEST CARLTON DIES Death Comes Suddenly at College Park, Ga.-Was Apparently We'll
 Last Sunday-cause Is
 Not Stated.

Anniston, June 19.-(Special)-The indi- cations are that the citizens of Oxanna will be compelled to remain without water for an indefinite period. The reason given is the poverty of the Annston Water Sup ply company. In March the City Council passed an ordinance providing for the laying of a main on South Leighton ave- nue by the water company under the con- ditions of the company's contract with the city. The work was to have been done In 90 days and that tune has about ex- pired. Mayor Kilby reported to the City Council Thursday night that he had been unable to get the water company to com ply with its demands.
 He stated that it was his duty to sec that ordinances passed by the council was enforced and it was his duty to ex- plain why he did not enforce them. He read part of the correspondence between himself and H. B. Rudisull, superinten- dant of the water company. The last let ter of MT. Rudisull conveys tile intel ligence that the water company would be glad to comply but has no money with which to do the work. The contract with the company expires July, 1909.
 Should an attempt be made to force the water company to place the main it would probably keep the matter in the courts until the present contract expires, Councilman Lewis of tRe water and lights committee asked that definite &C., ton be deferred until the next meeting. Ernest Carlton, formerly of this city, died suddenly in College Park, Ga, near Atlanta, Thursday afternoon. The news of his death was conveyed to his brother, c. ". Carlton, in a telegram. The tele- gram gave no particulars. The dead man was in the city last Sunday on visit to his brother and was In apparently good health. He returned to Atlanta Monday and Thursday he died suddenly MT.

The funeral was held from the residence at 10 O clock this morning. Interment was in Edgemont cemetery.
