'He began life with the physical

So many showers of every type have been given this season for prospective brides, the ingenuity of the fall hostesses is taxed to the uttermost to provide nov cities. The hostess yesterday afternoon, however, was exceptionally clever in her arrangement of the shower, which was not a shower at all, but was a presen- tation of gifts by permitting the bride to draw them from an improvised well. The well was surrounded with ferns and made a pretty part of the decorations of the rooms. and d great many beautiful bits of embroidered linen were secreted within it's depths.
 Ices and other delicacies were served to the guests, who included: Miss Eunice Lovett, Miss Pearl Guthrie. Misses Har- rell, Miss Ludie Wilson, Mrs. II. K. Dombey, Miss Violet Dombey, Miss Frankie Herndon. Miss Kathleen Hern- don, Miss Mary Garrett. Miss Della Gar rett, Miss Martha Ellis, Miss Edith Plant. Miss Winnie Gala, Miss Lucie Walker.

CONVICT REPORT
 MADE ID 0'NEAL Receipts for Entire Year an Excess of $16,457.13
 Over 1911

Montgomery, october 2.-(Special. J. President James G. Oakley of the state convict department today turned over to Treasurer John Purifoy $S21,197.72. which represented the receipts of the department for the last quarter of the last fiscal year. which ended Septem- Der 30
 The receipts of the department for the entire year amounted to SLOPE 961.1e, an excess of s16,457.1s over the preceding year
 Approximately two thirds of the re- ceipts of the convict department come from the hire of convicts in four of the mines of the state, the Banner mine, operated by the Pratt Consoli- dated Coal and Iron company; Flat Top mine, owned by the Sloss-Shef- field Steel and Iron company; Belle Ellen, owned by the Bessemer Coal Iron and Land company, and Lucille mine, owned by the Red Feather Coal company.
 Banner mine yields the state more income from the employment of com victs than any one of the latter three mines. There are about $50 convicts employed in this mine.
 The monthly receipts of the convict department are usually in the neigh borhood of $75.0o0. two-thirds of which amount is received from the mines. The remainder comes from the employ ment of convicts, by lumber and tur- pentine companies, although small part of the states income from it's convicts is received from the operation of its cotton mill and state farms.
 In rendering a statement of the re- ceipts of the department for the last fiscal year President oakley declared that the entire returns would prob ably have been much greater but for the fact that the state used large number of it's convicts last year in operating state farm No. 4 in Mont gomery county. These convicts were hired out during the year 1911.
