ANOTHER CRIME
Charged to the Notorious Desperate Bart
flasher Burned earn and Cremated
Stock-His List of Victims

Reliable information reached the city
yesterday afternoon that Bart Thrasher
the notorious desperate, had not only be-
come a murderer within the past two
days. but that he had added arson to his
already long list of crimes.
The scene of his latest piece of deviltry
was also in Blocton. He is charged with
having set fire to a stable belonging to
Mr.. N. L. Wilson, justice of the peace.
The building, two fine horses and car
riage were burned.
1t is thought by many that Thrasher
set fire to the structure with the hope
that Sheriff Latham, who was in Blocton,
SO 1t was understood, would come out,
thereby giving him good chance to put
a Winchester bullet or two into his body.
Mr.. Wilson is a brother-in-law of Dep
uty Sheriff Griffin Bass, whom Thrasher
killed at Blocton, and the desperate has
the same feeling toward him as he has
for Sheriff Latham and others.
negro employed at the Adams Drug
company was met by Thrasher last Sat
urday in the road near Blocton and had
a conversation of some duration with
him. Thrasher asked him a great many
questions, among others being one rela-
tive to the returns from the election at
Blocton. 1t is thought that Thrasher
had an idea that Sheriff Latham might
be in charge of the returns from Bloc
ton and was making the inquiries with
a view to laying in wait for him.
1t is known that Thrasher has pal,
and this man is said to be Bentley, no.
torious outlaw with q character similar
to that of Thrasher.
Two Birmingham men, MeSsrS. Henry
Cole and Robert Waldrop, are said to be
charged up with murder by Thrasher be-
cause Of their connection with the killing
of his brother, and he is said to have
threatened TO come to this city after set
Ting with the Sheriff of Bibb county and
pay them off.
The whole neighborhood around Bloc
ton is said to be in a state of terrorism
since Thrasher killed Deputy Bass.

DR.. Mann introduced Rev. DR.. Hunter
of Avondae Baptist church as preacher.
Dr. Hunter took his text in Luke xii, 80.
His theme was the crucifxion or three
deaths
1. A death for sin. He elucidated the
fact of Christ's death for the sinner, his
death upon the cross between two
thieves.
g. A death by sin. The thief who re-
fused to be saved, though within reach Of
heaven; one foot upon the cross and the
other foot upon the threshold of glory,
yet he persisted in scoffing, and died in
his sins.
8. A death unto sin. The thief upon the
other side cried unto Jesus for mercy:
Lord. remember men when thou cometh
into thy kingdom" And Jesus replied:
To-day shalt thou be with me in para
disc"
The application was made and most
earnestly sent home to the hearts of the
people. The sermon was we'll illustrated

SEPTEMBER |
Mr. Bryan Will Enter Into the Campaign and
Continue on the Stump Until
the Election.

New York, Aug. 13.-It has been decid
ed that Mr.. Bryan will enter actively into
the campaign about September 1 and
continue on the stump until election day.
In order to obtain needed rest and to
prepare his letter of acceptance before
his speech-making begins, he will spend
the next two weeks at some quiet place
not yet decided upon.
The visit to Bath, Me-, will therefore
be postponed until the latter part of
September, when Mr.. Bryan will make a
number of speeches in New England.
To a representative of the Southern
Associated Press Mr. Bryan made the
following explanation of the reading of
his notification speech:
knowing that it would be printed in
full, l thought it more important that it
should reach in correct form the millions
who will read than that the delivery
should please the few thousands who
were present. 1t is always unfortunate
when a speaker is compelled to read a
political speech, but in this instance
thought it best not to risk the errors
which always creep into the report of an
eXtemperaHeous speech"
