The past week has been one prolific
OF developments In certain ways in
the prospecting for oil throughout the
port territory, and large number Of
oil producers from other points have
invaded the field. As to what viii be
the result, however, remains to be
seen. Indications point to several Of
these outsiders beginning active opc.

indications appealing strongly TO
them. II. 4. Lee OF Findlay, Ohio,
Is one of the latest comers into the
field. Mr.. Daniels of New York, and
Mr.. Doucel of New Orleans, were also
in the field during the week.
Mr.. DabovaI, the new driller in
charge Of de Lamorton well No. has

good progress ls being made. As
stated last week, the two-and-a. half
inch pipe has been discarded, drilling
being resumed by Mr.. Daboval with
the four-inch pipe. The salt water
stratas we're encountered on Monday
aud caused some Inconvenience but
no material delay. The borings we're
closely inspected by Mr.. Daboval
who exhibited great interest In the
strata formations as encountered aud
brought to the surface. Mr.. Daboval
Is verifying the log OF the we'll from
the end of the six inch casing down,
and taking accurate measurements.
On Monday, shortly after the four
Inch pipe was started, the salt water
stratas we're again encountered. At
the same time showings OF oil made
themselves evident, and numerous
particles OF shell, coal and some py.
rites OF iron we're brought up. The
rotary has been making good progress
through the caved-in mud and sands
at the bottom OF the we'll, and It is
believed that In day or two progress
will be made beyond the point where
the former drillers quit work with the
two-and.a a. half inch pipe,
ALABAMA'S FIELD.
Late reports from the gas field at
Fayette, Ala, are to the effect that It
Is a wonderful gas territory. Wells
brought 10 and developed 10 that field
show pressure OF 500 pounds to the
square inch, although the capacity OF
the wells is not as great as some OF
those discovered elsewhere. The gas
has been piped into Fayette and is
used for heating, lighting and cook
ing purposes, and the work is pro.
crossing toward piping 1t into Bir.

OF developing the field on a larger
scale is being pushed forward, many

Meeting OF Executive Committee
Develops Several Surprises
In The Start.
CIRCUIT CLERKS OFFICE
IS or INTENSE INTEREST
Member OF Board Of Supervisors;
In Beats Nos. One And Five
Also Contested Before
Party's Tribunal.

The county executive committee
met at the court house az l045 O'Clock
on Thursday morning for the purpose
OF canvassing the returns Of the sec
ond primary held on last Tuesday, and
to determine the winners OF the re-
spective offices. Three contests de-
veloped Immediately upon organiza-
tion, the contests being for the offices
OF circuit clerk aud member OF the
board OF supervisors from beats Nos.
! aud 5. In beat No, each candidate
claims the election by one vote, and
there are said to be ten contested bal
lots 10 the box. The Orange Grove
box may figure prominently In the
decision as to the circuit clerkship.
No contest developed as to the other
offices. Immediately upon assembling
II. Q. Herring was named secretary
pro TEN, and the committee got down
TO business. The attorneys repre-.
senting the several parties 10 the con.
test are Walter Denny, w. d. Bullard
and II. B. Everitt.
The second primary Tuesday proved
to be very quiet affair all over the
county. In this city only 202 votes
we're cast, and the same falling of In
totals was noticeable from practically
every box reporting. The same inter-
est was not manifested in even a
small degree that marked the nrst
primary three weeks before.
Locally, the interest centered In the
race for circuit clerk, while the con-
test for constable claimed consider
able attention. The only contest de-
clded by the first returns received on
Tuesday night was the constable race,
In which Jules Morlet easily defeated
Il. d. Mansfield, who Is filling out the
unexpired term Of John Pelham, re.
signed. Mr.. Mansfield was appointed
to the vacancy by the board OF super
visOrs.
There were many surprises In the
votes cast for state senator through
out the county. The race was much
closer between BousIog and Bond
than had been expected, and evidences
were found that other questions had
been brought into the contest since
the iirst primary. The race made for
circuit clerk by Parker and Havens
proved battle royal, the early re.
turns failing to indicate with GER
tainty the probable winner.
Inclement weather prevailed In thi'
city and, according TO reports, wat
experienced throughout the county
This fact tended TO delay the reports
from the remote boxes. although
strenuous efforts were made to ascer
tain the available figures from eacl
booth.

The bull fight was once popular In

colonies throughout the world. The
bull fight Is held in an arena of moro

At the annual meeting OF the board
a committee on entertainment will be

The return trip of the u r. Boosters
to Detroit will also be taken up.
There are many other matters OF inn
portance to come before the annual
meeting of the bureau, particularly the
question OF permanent exhibition at
the new Chicago land show which is
to replace the event which got into bad

promoters to fatten on the gullible by
