CAMP HARDEE BUSY
 ON REUNION PLANS
CAMP ESPECIALLY CERTIFIED BY LIVELY INTEREST SHOWN BY PEOPLE OF HlRMIHeHAM-sEN- AToR JOHNSTON TO SPEAK.

At the regular semi-monthly meeting of Camp Hardee held yesterday after noon in the Commercial club rooms sev- eral items of importance and of general interest were reported on. The reunion to be held in Birmingham in June was a lively subject. The old veterans look forward with much pleasure to the meet ing of their comrades of the eos and Camp Hardee is especially gratified with the interest that everybody is taking in the great gathering that is to come.
 Chaplain Wells chairman of the com mittee appointed by the camp to see about securing ward at the TIillman hospital for the veterans of Camp liar dee, reported that he had conferred with members of the Board of Revenue, who told him that they were strongly inclined in favor of the plan and would do every thing possible to secure ward for the old warriors.
 Gen. J. w. Bush, chairman of the com mittee appointed to select committees from Camp Hardee to cooperate with other reunion committees, reported for his committee and the committees named were unanimously chosen.
 Senator Joseph F. Johnston was ap- pointed by the camp to deliver an ad- dress to the Sons of Veterans at the reunion The local camp of Sons of Vet erans requested Camp Hardee to select one of IS members for the address and Senator Johnston was selected.
 Capt. Frank P. O'Brien reported on the May festival to be held for the benefit of the reunion fund. stating that the pros- poets were very bright.
 It was decided to order 15O special re- union badges from the adjutant general at New Orleans. A number of Camp Hardee badges will also be ordered for members of the camp who have none. Adjutant J. L. Darby was instructed to open correspondence with manufacturers of flags in order to get prices. The camp desires to get a handsome camp flag in time for the reunion and the comrades will purchase one when 1t is ascertained what it will cost. The camp already has a beautiful Hardee battle flag. presented by Mrs. Smith. president of the Alex ander Stevens chapter of East Lake.
 At the next meeting of the camp Gen. J. w. Bush will read a story descrip- tive of the battle of sharpsburg.

come later, the peach trees will bear plentifully this year"
 Sheriff E. L. Higdon has large peach orchard near Gate City, and he is of tue opinion that his trees were not hurt. T have not made a careful examination, said Colonel Higdon yesterday afternoon. but judging from past experience l do not believe any harm was done by tse frost. At this time of the year, when ,ne young peaches have their coats on they are harder to kill than at any other time.
 At the present the blooms have just opened good and the petals serve as a protection for the tiny peaches. Had the frost come when the trees were just bud ding out it would probably have killed the whole bud and the entire crop would have been ruined. AS 1t is, however. the little peaches are protected and l do not relieve they have been hurt materially.
 "The trees are thickly covered with blooms this year and If two-thirds of then. are killed the grower will not suffer- As it is the growers will have to pull off about two-thirds of the blooms to get satisfactory crop this year.

had been greater than these mains were able to carry off.
 All sewers admit more or less seep- age water at all times, but especially is this true during extended wet periods, at which time the branch sewers convey more seepage to the mains than they are able to convey to the county trunk sewer, and con seauently there is more or less dis charge into the contiguous ditches and storm sewers. This condition is of course not desirable and is a menace to the health of the city.
 It is necessary to construct several mains from the county trunk sewer of sufficient capacity to carry off the sewage from Birmingham for all time to come Where these mains will pass through an unsewered territory, a DOT tion of the cost, amounting to the cost of an ordinary lateral sewer, could be assessed against the territory drained, but it would be obviously unfair to this property to assess the cost of the en- tire main against it. Consequently It is proposed to use portion ol lHls bond issue to pay the difference in the amount that may be assessed against the property drained by the sewers and the actual cost of the same.
 As regards the storm sewers. ths city charter gives the City Council the right to assess the cost of storm wa ter sewers against the property drained. provided the amount assessed does not exceed the increased value of the prop ertv by reason of the construction of the sewers.
 Owing to the fact that many of the storm sewers to be constructed, both on the north and south sides of tho city. will have to pass through very level section of the city where the grades will be comparatively light and the sewers unusually large, the cost of ! constructing these sewers will amount to more than the amount that could be assessed against the property drained. conseouently 1t was deemed necessary ,o supplement the amount derived from tbe improvement assessments by the funds derived by the bond issue.

the state was his cousin, H. c. Lollar. It was charged that the negro Whitaker had offered bribe of S15 to Linn, which had been turned into the sheriff's office. This $15 was introduced into court.
 Whitaker testified that he had not given Linn the $15 but that it had been taken aN from him. Evidence was in- troduced to show that Linn had kept the two negroes all night and was taking them to the county jail the next morning when the bribe was said to have been offered.
 Judge Weaver ordered the money re- turned to Whitaker and dismissed the cases against the two negroes. taking oc- casion to make a few remarks in regard to the accepting of a bribe by officers of the law. why cast suspicion upon the law by such practees?" asked he.
 Sheriff Higdon swore out the warrant Friday for Linns arrest. He was ques- toned last night as to the Dean case and said:
 q have investigated the matter and am convinced that 1t was simply a clerical oversight due to a heavy rush of busi- ness that the bond was not entered, but left in q drawer in the sheriff's office. Of course, l cannot keep up with these de- tails in the office. but from what I learn this bond was signed up last Saturday. put in the drawer and overlooked Dean and Wilson are both men of property and therefore fully qualified to sign bond, even though they are deputy sheriffs.
 This case is similar to many others The deputies very often arrest men and keep them out to spot some other crim- inal whom they know, which is simply following instructions given them by me. The bond was approved by Chief Deputy Lucien Brown. and I can see nothing wrong with it."
 Chief Deputy Brown was asked last night as to when the bond was drawn up, but declined to state, his answer be- ing that he didn't care what Ard had said"

GROWERS THINK PEA CHES
 WERE UNHURT BY FROST

In the opinion of extensive peach grow CTS the heavy frost that fell yesterday morning did not materially lnjure the crop. Although no doubt many of the blossoms will fall off as the result ot the cold snap, it is stated that if there is no further setback no shortage of the peach crop will result.
 T have examined a number of trees and while it is a little too early to tell definitely just what damage was done by the frost I am of the opinion that the trees were hurt very little" said J. H. McCary, who owns a large peach orchard on Shades mountain.
 Right after frost falls 1t is hard to tell whether or not the blossoms are injured as many blooms that do not ap- rear to have been hurt fall off after a few days. If half of the blooms were killed, however, the peach crop will not suffer from the frost. Owing to the short crop of last year the trees have grown very rapidly having benefited from thc life that would have gone to the fruit had the crop been heavy. So. if the blooms are not hurt by frosts that may

MOTHER COULD NOT

Woman Said She Felt Faint and

NEW YORK, Aug 19-The shock
caused her by the sight of the mangled
hand of her son is thought to have
caused indirectly the death of Mrs.
Robert A. Howte, so years old, of East
Orange.
Her son, Alexander, hurt his hand
and the mother set about the task of
dressing the injured member. She re-
marked at the time that the sight made
her feel faint and queer She went up
stairs to her. room and in a few min
utes the members of the family heard
the sound of fall.
They found Mrs. Howte unconscious
on the floor. Physicians were sum-
moned. but failed to revive her. 1t is
thought that conclusion of the brain
was the immediate cause of her death.
