QUARRELED OVER GAME

Bessemer, September Especial. This
afternoon about $3.50 o'clock a tragedy
occurred in Collins pool room on First
avenue, in which Carson Robinson shot
and instantly killed Louis Baggett. Both

The exact cause of the trouble could
not be ascertained, as the accused and
eye-witnesses refused to make any state
ment regarding the case at this time.
1t seems to be generally understood that
the two men quarreled over a game of
pool, high words were passed, and it is
alleged that the deceased struck Robin
son a blow with billiard cue with suf-
ficient force to break it. Robinson pulled
his pistol and shot once. The ball en-
tered just below the left nipple, pene-
trating the heart. He died almost in
stantly. Robinson left the pool room at
the rear door and, making his way rapid
ly to the residence of Chief Deputy Sher-
if George w. Jones, gave himself up.
He told the officer what had happened
and claimed to have acted in self-defense.
Mr.. Jones put him under arrest and placed
him in the county Jail at Birmingham.
The first officer to reach the scene was
Chief of Police Wallace. who heard the
shot while some distance away. He
rushed to the scene and on entering the
pool room saw Baggett lying on the floor
with his life's blood gushing from wound
in his breast. He saw the man was be-
yond human aid and Immediately COM
menced a search for Robinson. He learned
that he had surrendered to Deputy Jones'
All the witnesses were put under bond
and the coroner notified, who will hold
an inquest tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock
at the undertaking parlors of Jacobs &
Son. Both the men are single. The de-
ceased was a miner, living at Raymonds

Montgomery, September 9.-fSpecial.)
The state department of agriculture
and industries has just received their
annual consignment of fertilizer tags.
The number of tags this year is con-
siderably larger than it has been at
any time in the history of the depart
ment, the exact number being 4,500,00
about 100000 in excess of the consign-
ment for last year.
The receipts from their sale this year
will approximate $1S5,OOO. This fund
is applied to various purposes though
about one-half or $4,000 is given to
the rural schools of the state, being
apportioned ON the basis of $1,000 for
every county.
The fund, however, is used exclu-
sively for rural schools, no incorpor-
ated town or city in the state being
allowed any of this appropriation.
Moreover, each school district is linn
tied to 5000 and in order to secure
this fund every district asking the APP
propriation must raise an equal amount.
1t is regarded as most fitting that
rural schools of the state, inasmuch
as the money from the sale of fertilizer
tags comes from the pockets of the
farmers, the tags being on every bag
of fertilizer they receive.

clared in Montgomery today that the
