Anniston, June pecial.)-Postmas- ter c. R. Barker has secured further mail facilities for Anniston and the same was inaugurated yesterday.
 The arrangement provides for through pouch to both Atlanta and Birmingham over the Southern railroad on passenger trains Nos. 29 and 30, which pass through Anniston at 1:55 p. m. to Birmingham, and Il 20 a.. m- to Atlanta.
 Neither of these trains carries mail pouches, but the baggagemen on the trains will handle the pouches through from Anniston to both Atlanta and Bir- mingham, which furnishes Anniston with midday mails to both those points over the Southern.
 Only the Anniston pouches will be car ried by these trains between the two terminal points, Atlanta and Birmingham, SO that by this arrangement Anniston gets a distinct accommodation in maif facilities.

Testimony Is Confusing.

Huntsville, June 9.-(Special.) )-Tes- timony in the contest of the will of Prof William H. Councill heard in the probate court yesterday was rather confusing. Several physicians who were summoned as expert witnesses testified that in their opinion Profes- sor Councill was not competent to transact business during the last two or three years of his life, his malady being paresis This evidence was in support of the contention of the con testant, pr. William L. Councill, who claims that his father was mentally unfitted to make will at the time the will was made. Mrs c. B. L. Ham, ilton. Professor CouncilPs private sec retary, testified that he was in full possession of his faculties until he died. His sensitiveness concerning his phys ical condition and desire not to come in contact with his friends, she said, was the only peculiar thing about him.
