POPULAR WITH THE COMPANY
AT THAT PLACE.
T. H. McNamee, superintendent of the
blooming mill at the Tennessee Coal, Iron

Mr. McNamee rolled the first Ingot at

MATTER OF'SUPERIITEIDENT
»
Governor Jelks Discusses Message—He
Has Not Yet Begun Its Prepara
tion, But It Will Not
Take Long.
Governor William D. Jelks came to Bir
mingham last night from Montgomery.
He Is stopping at the Hillman.
Presumably the governor came to Bir
mingham for the purpose of conferring
with the members of the state convict
board relative to the change In the man
agement of the state convicts, but he did
not state this, as the particular object of
his visit. He saw President Carmichael
and Dr. Bragg last night, however, and
the three held quite a lengthy confer
ence. It is known that the governor Is
taking an especial Interest In the new un
dertaking to have the state manage the
convicts In the mines, and he has before
visited the city to look Into the matter.
The governor said that the board had
not yet reached an agreement as to who
would be placed In charge of the con
victs as general superintendent. "The
board Is being troubled with the matter
of salary for the superintendent,” he
said. “The members of the board them
selves draw only about 12200 per annum,
and for this amount It Is doubtful If a
perfectly qualified man could be secured
for superintendent, but It would seem a
little odd for the members to pay a su
perintendent a salary In excess of their
own.”
Governor Jelks said that he had not yet
begun the preparation of his regular mes
sage which is to be submitted to the leg
islature at the coming session in January.
"I will take an evening off w'lthin the
next few days and write it,” he said.
"You know it is not much trouble to
write when you know well what you want
to say.” Judging from this last remark,
the governor has given the matter of his
message some thought. He said he would
not write an unusually long message,
though there are a good many matters
concerning which he will probably advise
legislation. “If I should undertake to
say something about all of the legislation
that ought to receive the attention of
the approaching session my message
would be about as long as the constitu
tion itself,” was the language employed
by the governor in speaking of the mat
ter.
Governor Jelks will return to Montgom
ery this afternoon.
CHANGM BILLS
FROM $1 TO $10
NEGRO ARRESTED IN BESSEMER
ON CHARGE OF PASSING RAISED
CERTIFICATES—RAISING WAS
SKILLFULLY DONE.
Bob Johnson, a negro, is now in the
county jail on a charge of raising sev
eral $1 silver certificates to $10. He was
tried before Commissioner William K.
Cornish and bound over to the grand jury
in the sum o.f $600, and not being able
to make bond was committed to Jail.
Johnson was arrested at Bessemer Mon
day and brought to Birmingham by E.
B. Shaw, special agent of the secret ser
vice, and A. L,„ Wilson, deputy marshal.
Testimony given at the preliminary trial
was to the effect that Johnson had passed
$10 bills on several merchants in Besse
mer. It was afterwards discovered the
bills had been raised from $1 denomina
tions. Johnson claims he received the
bills from another negro in exchange for
silver change.
The work of raising the bills was skil
fully executed, the change in the figures
evidently having been made by carefully
pasting over the original figures on the
bills the figures cut from some old Con
federate paper money.
BUILDING PERMITS.
The following building permits were
Issued yesterday:
Huston Biscuit company, to erect a
three-story brick building to be used as
a cracker factory, on Avenue E and
Twenty-eighth street, to cost $20,000.
N. B. Herman, to move four houses
from Seventeenth street and Second ave

STATE CONVICTS
Officers of Board Here to In
vestigate New System
THE TRANSFER TOMORROW
i
President J. M. Carmichael Is Not Yet
Ready to Announce Appointments
In Connection With the
Convict Mines.
Tomorrow the state of Alabama will
begin to work the convicts in the mines
on its own account. ThiB is in keeping
with a recent decision of Governor Jelks
and the convict board, a contract hav
ing been made with the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company and the Sloss-Sheffleld
Steel and Iron company to this effect.
The members of the convict bureau are
now in Birmingham preparing for the
transfer to the new system. Yesterday
President J. M. Carmichael and rhysictan
Shirley Bragg came to the city from
Montgomery. They were accompanied by
Robert Tait of the department. They
went to the stockades during the after
noon and began the woi*k preparatory to
a transfer. The old contract of the two
companies expires at 12 o’clock tonight.
Very few of the convicts will be moved
from the present stockades however. Un
der the provisions of the new contract
the Tennessee company is to have not
less than 400 convicts and the Sloss-Shef
fleld company not less than 200. Both
will receive numbers in excess of the
minimum.
President Carmichael said yesterday
that he considered the transfer of the
convicts a matter of great importance to
the department and to the state, and
that he had therefore come here to per
sonally superintend the work.
"We have come to press the button and
see that everything starts off properly,”
he said.
“What have you done In the way ot
making appointments of a general super
intendent, watchmen, etc.?'' President
Carmichael was asked.
"You newspaper men seem to know
more about that than I do,” he replied.
"I observed that one of the Birmingham
papers made thesfe appointments about
ten days ago. Well, he knows more
about it than I do. No appointments
have been made and none determined
upon. I am not in position to say when
the appointments will be made, but it
may be that the announcements will be
made before we leave the city.”
The party will remain in Birmingham
until Friday. They are stopping at the
Metropolitan hotel.

such a low rate for the entertainment
that it was In their power to give It.
J. MORGAN SMITH
BREATHES HIS LAST
OLD AND HONORED CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY—HE WAS ONE OF
THE BEST-KNOWN MEN IN BIR
MINGHAM.
Mr. J. Morgan Smith, one of the best
known (and most highly esteemed of the
older citizens of Birmingham, died at
his residence on South Highlands yes
terday afternoon at 2 o'clock, after a
lingering illness covering a period of
several years.
Mr. Smith was horn in goiuitidus, ua.,
August 9, 1842. Ho was the son of Hamp
ton Sydney Smith, a man who was prom
inently identified with the banking and
cotton interests of the south prior to
the war between the states. While at
tending college at the University of
Georgia, the civil war broke out, and
Mr. Smith promptly resigned school and
joined the Confederate army, being a
member of the famous Mobile cadets of

NOW OUT ON $300 BOND
W. J. Watkins, Victim of Two Bullets,
Is at St. Vincent's—Shooting at
Fountain’s Home, Where
Watkins Lived.
Jerry Fountain was arrested yesterday
charged with assault, with Intent to mur
der, on W. J. Watkins, and has given
bond for $3(0 to appear before H. B. Aber
nathy. justice of the peace, on the 8th
of next month for a preliminary hearing.
Fountain, It is charged, shot Watkins
Monday night, firing two shots at him
with a 38-eallbre pistol. Both shots took
effect and the wounded man is now at
St. Vincent's hospital. His condition 1s
considered very serious, though It is
thought by the attending physicians that
he will recover.
Course of the Bullets.
One shot entered Watkins' left side, go
ing In just below the lower rib and lodg
ing in his back. The other entered from
behind his right side, penetrating to the
left.
Dr. Watts, who lives near Mary Lee
mines, extracted both bullets soon after
the shooting. He was called to Graham's
store, to which place he (Watkins) walk
ed from Fountain's home, where the
shooting occurred.
Watkins remained at the store all night
and was not brought to St. Vincent s un
til yesterday afternoon.
Fountain absolutely refuses to talk
about the affair and it Is imppssible to
learn the details, as Watkins is not in a
condition to make a statement. To ques
tions asked by his best friends yesterday
about the shooting Fountain maintained
silence, simply saying he did not care to
discuss the matter. He came to Birming
ham Monday night and remained until
yesterday, when he surrendered to the
authorities.
Telephoned to Sheriff.
He telephoned to the sheriff's office
from the Opera House hotel, and Albert
Stradford, chief deputy, swore out a war
rant for his arrest.
Fountain's house, the scene of the trou
ble, Is one mile from Mary Lee. Watkins
boarded at the home of Fountain, and It
is supposed that some kind of a difficulty
arojje between them, when Fountain shot
hlml It is said a close friendship existed
between the two men. ,
Fountain wop formerly county super
intendent of education and was recently
appointed a justice’ of the peace at Mary
Lee.
Watkins is about 50 years xjjd and Is a
widower. He has several chlldreA
