Major Screws Speech Reduced His Follow

Alco March 25.-(Special) Mont
gomery postmaster attempted to speak
in Brewton last night, but after%umag-
ing through lot of old papers and quot
ing extracts that no one could under
stand he took his seat and allowed a
less informed man to thoroughly dis
gust the few Johnston men who attended
Had it not been court week the Adver-
Users champion would have spoken to
empty seats. However, his coming to
Brewton did Alec a good turn, as here
tofore there were two Clarke voters in
Alec, but today there is but one. The
person in question is Mr.. F. d. Glover
He went to hear Captain Johnston and
Major Screws both, and after the speak
ing last night he came over to 'the sup
port of Capt. Joseph f. Johnston. In his
talk last night Major Screws beat around
the bush on several questions, but not
one did he make clear except in abus-
ing Captain Johnston. Clarke's men
had no enthusiasm in them last night
as only one feeble attempt to applaud
was made, and that was to the credit
of Grover Cleveland. If the Advertiser
sends out Major Screws a few more
times 1t will do Johnston a good turn,
as the major Is certainly yote-maker
for Captain Joe.
Major Screws in his remarks said
among other things, that bricklayers re-
ceived $21 per month in Mexico. Ten
minutes after this assertion he said
bricklayers received $40 per week in
Mexico. Now, there was not "a person
in the house that could understand such
figures. He failed to say what the same
men received in England and other coun-
tries. He also tried to criticise Captain
Johnston's statement on the bond ques-
ton, but made dismal failure at 1t.

demand here on account of the knock

PRATT CITY.
Futile Attempt of Four White Convicts to
Escape From the Mines.


Escape From the Mines.
Pratt City, March 25.-(Special.)- -Four
white men, convicts at shaft No. l, all
in for long terms, endeaVored to effect
their escape Monday afternoon about 6
o'clock by climbing the discharge pipe
at the pumping station in MeArdle slope
air shaft. The officers of the prison were
notified of their attempt to escape and
quickly hurried the dogs to the top of the
air shaft, about one and a half miles
from the prison. When the guards reach
ed this point two of the men had reached
the top, but were unable to get out, owing
to the fact that the top of the shaft was
securely closed with iron bars. The 9TH
er two men were still making strenuous
efforts to reach the top, but were very
much exhausted by the climb, as the
pipe is about 300 feet in height as we'll
as being cold and wet all the time. One
of the convicts being man of bulky
form, became tightly wedged between
the pipe and the walls of the shaft and
was rescued from his perilous position by
letting down a rope and hauling him out
by means of a windlaSs, and the chief
officer of the prisons, when he neared the
top, caught him by his collar and lifted
him out. No trouble was had in captur-
ing the other three men, as they were
too much exhausted to attempt to re-
escape by descending the pipe. The
prison officials deserve credit for the
skillful manner in which the capture
was effected.
The Epworth league of the Methodist
church. under the leadership of d. M.
B. Hassler, will edit the Easter number
of the Pratt City News. Mr.. Hassler has
an able corps of assistants and is sure
to make an unqualified success of the
paper. The object of the league in edit
ing this issue of the paper is to raise
money on their church assessments, and
any one placing an advertisement there
in will not only materially aid the league
in a worthy cause, but will accrue no in
considerable revenue for themselves, as
an immense circulation is already assur-
ed The paper will treat of the growth
of Pratt City, all of her industries, her
social features and of her enterprising
citizens.
Messrs. Mccormack and Ramsay are
erecting a two-story twelve-room build
ing at Pratt station, on the EnSley dunn
my line, presumably for office use. The
town is on a more substantial building
boom than ever, houses of all kinds be-
ing in great demand.
Mr.. Kennedy and Miss Varnum of
Crumley's chapel were married in Pratt
City Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. The
marriage was forbidden by their parents
but the objection proved of no avail.
Notwithstanding the fact that the de-
mand for GOALS not as great as it was a
few weeks ago, the mines are running
almost steadily and producing normal
output
The Pratt City Democrat, a weekly pa
per published in the interests of Joseph
F. Johnston, made it's first regular APP
pearance last Saturday morning. The
paper seems to have an able editor and
will be great factor for furthering the
interests of Captain Johnston in this vi
entity.

that the contractors had no trouble in
