TO PROF. M'ADORY
Colored Teachers of County Wanted
to Show Appreciation of His
Efforts in Their Behalf

County Superintendent of Education
I. w. McAdory, who retires October /
after "a years service, wears fine
gold watch presented to him by the
colored teachers of the county at the
last teachers institute. held at Reeders
near Bessemer.
The occasion was one of much in
terest and all the county colored teach
ers were present The watch was pre-
sented by Mrs. Huckabee, one of the
best and most influential among the
colored teachers of the county. in a
very pretty speech. She said that, re-
membering that Mr.. McAdory is now
approaching the close of his long term
of useful work as county superintend-
ent of education, and wanting to do
something to show their appreciation,
they consulted about how to do this.
They concluded they would present
a watch. the best they were able to
purchase as a slight token of their
appreciation of Mr.. McAdory's kind
ness to them during all the years of his
long service. She said she wanted him
to know that the colored teachers had
all along felt that they had real
friend and sympathizer in him. and they
felt free to approach him with their
problems and troubles. knowing thar
they would have a patient and SYM
pathetic hearing. She closed by saying
that the wish of the colored teachers
was that he wear the watch and think
of them.
The watch was inscribed on the in
side of the back cover or lid. the words
Presented to Professor McAdory by
the colored teachers of jefferson coun-
ty." Mr.. McAdory accepted the present
and said that while he felt tnat he
had the good will and respect and con-
fidence of the colored teachers he did
not expect them to manifest 1T in such
a way. He really felt that he would
rather they had not bought the watch
knowing the small salaries paid them
he felt that they could Ill afford TO
make such costly present; that while
he appreciated their gift, he appre-
ciated more the spirit that prompted
the giving of it, that he felt that he
had only tried to do his duty all along.
and that they really owned him moth
ing; that he regretted that he could
do no more to help them He said he
was proud of the conduct of most of
the colored teachers. AS a class they
have been. loyal citizens and they have,
by example and by precept, Taught their
people the right way of living-to obey
the law and be honest. He expressed
the hope that they would continue to
live right and to improve themselves,
and teach their children their true re-
lation to society. and their duty to the
community, the county and to the gov
ernment in which they live; that all the
white people of the country are in
teresteds in the manner or the way the
colored children are taught and that
we must all rely on the leaders of the
colored people, the teachers and the
preachers to teach their children.

plosion on the United States torpedo
boat Craven near Savannah. n which
two men We're killed and three seri-

Although he refrained from the EN-

1t Is true that the news caused him
of fact. some days ago while observing &
the Craven, Mr.. Boyd remarked TO the
captain of the City of Atlanta. on which
he was entering the harbor of Savan-
nah, that the torpedo boat was not in
good condition.
"At that time" stated Mr.. Boyd, the
boat appeared to be defective in re-
gard to its boilers. In one moment it
appeared to emit it's smoke with the
greatest difficulty. In the next the
smoke would pour out in great gobs.
This state of affairs lasted for the Pc
riod in which the torpedo boat was
within our view. OF course, [ did not
anticipate serious accident, but In a
jocu1ar manner | told the captain of our
ship that IL care was not observed the
Craven would have trouble of some
kind within a very short time
The Associated Press dispatch print
ed in The Age Herald yesterday stated
| that the cause of thef Craven's accident
was not positively known, but that the
general opinion was that the explosion
was the result of a defective boiler.

most apologetic when paying his BILL and
that in Paris he is generally embarra ssed

MANY APPLICANTS
TOSUCCEED NESM|TH

Montgomery, September 11.-(Special)
During the past few days there has been
considerable gossip in official circles rela-
tive to the fight for the vacant position
OF the bench of the Birmingham city
court. Tile governor has received sew
eral applications for the appointment, the
most prominent contestants for the honor
being Thomas j. Judge, Judge John Pugh
and w. p McCrossfn. whom the gov
ernor appointed to a temporary position
on the court more than year ago
The friends of Mr.. Judge are very ac-
tive in his behalf, and they believe the
governor will name him for the place. 1t
is reported that Mr. Judge has the in
dorsement of the majority of the mem
bers of the Birmingham bar and it is
claimed that this fact is not only strong
card in Mr.. Judges favor but one that
will doubtless exert considerable influ-
ence upon the governor.
Friends of Judge Pugh are also active
in his behalf, and they are equally
sanguine that their candidate will secure
the office. Judge Pugh as well as Mr..
Judge, is a warm personal friend of the
governor. F
Mr.. McCrossins claims are being vigor-
ously pushed by certain of his friends.
Mr.. McCrossin filled temporary vacancy
of about 80 days as judge of the city court
of birmingham more than a year ago,
and his friends declare that he made an
excellent judicial officer.
Up to the present time the governor has
received no applications for the chair
manship of the tax commission, made va
cant by the retirement of Mr.. Lee Long.
1t is expected, however that the governor
Will receive a large number of applica :
tions for the office during the next few
days, and that the claimants for the of.

BUILDER
GETS CONTRACT

Washington, September 11.--An Eng
lish builder today was awarded the
contract for turbine drums for the new
est American battleship, No. 80, at a
little more than one-third the price
offered by the lowest American bidder.
The accepted bid was $57,436, submitted
by New York agents of the Cyclops
Steel and Iron works Sheffield, Eng
land
1t is exceptional for the navy depart
ment to send a contract abroad but
Acting Secretary Roosevelt held that
the action today was justified by the
tremendous difference between English
and American prices The Sheffield bid
includes the payment of duty and by
giving the work to the foreign builder
the United States saves more than
800, 600
There were two American bidders
the Bethlehem Steel company, S169,56S,
and the Midvale Steel company, $780,
272. The Carnegie company, the only
other domestic concern equipped to
build the drums, did not bid.

Kay Thinks 1t Will Be Able
to Produce Everything
Needed by States
UnfOrtunates

After an inspection of penal prop
critics of Ohio and an investigation
into the methods by means of which
that state cares for its unfortunates,
Edgar b. Kay, the we'll known engineer
who has done valuable work for this
states believes that at Speigner it
would be practical and feasible to con-
struct factories for the manufacture OF
everything required for the physical
care of the charges of the common

It is understood that in the near fu-
ture the state will revise and remodel
many of the structures now at 5peigner
and that for the future the eonstruc-
tion of a factory for the making of
hosiery and another for shoes is an
ticipated. DR.. Kay believes that 1t
would be practical and feasible Ter the
state to carry out any such plans that

There is wonderful opportunity

DR.. Kay declined to discuss the plans

| 1T is evident that his visit to Ohio was
| for the purpose of acquiring practical
knowledge which might be applied in
Alabama. He firmly believes that at

an institution which will compare fa-
vorably with the most modern systems
of central and eastern states. III
