AN INSULT TO LEE.
A Spanish Paper All But Calls Him
 Liar In His Statements.


 Liar In His Statements.
 Havana. July 13.-(V1a Key West)- The AdNisador Commercial. a political and commercial daily. in a leading edito- rial article, makes a bitter attack on United staaes Consul General lee on ac- court of his report on tn. Ruiz case. The paper says:
 'Credl.ing Consul General Lee with some degree e,l Iectitude, we cannot but Igel some cCa4paS.4On LOf nim, DsLeYlnS nm Uo be e,sAamed OI hls T p0-'t.

 We wall not even insinuate that in this $40,00Q he asks for the W dow of G IT, eral Ruiz his commission was his prime pal object, but at lsast malicious persons might infer such after Lees request TOT S5U00O with which to relieve suffering Americans who do not exist here. The Spanish people are brave, not savage, and do not torment defenceless prisoners. They do not lynch their pfis ners, nor are they guilty with the rebels here of cruel ard terrible carnage induged in by Lees fellow citjzehs during the war of the 1e- bellion. n.t ---
 Were we revengeful instead of noble Lee would not be in the position he is now in after his insults. He knows that the Spanlards oo not regard him as a brave important enemy in Cuba.
 Any other government than that at Washington would find cause in the Ruiz report to pigeon hole it for fear of ridi- cule. If such are the diplomats and gen erals of the United States what kind of folks must the rest of the people be?"

Carrollton.

These statutes cover every station on the prospective railroad except one, and that is near the postoffice of Gordo.

lCRUEL AND BRUTAL II WAS ] Young Girl Murdered and Tied
 to a Bush. BODY HORRIBLY MANGLED Had Been Dead Several Hours When Found Searching Parties Securing the
 Country for the Fiend.

Florence. Ala, July 13.-(Special)-An atrocious murder was committed at West Point, Tenn, today, which has aroused that section to a high state of excitement. A young girl, the sister of a telegraph operator named David Williams, was found late this evening murdered and ii d to a bush. She was horribly mangled and had been dead several hours. The young lady's name is Rose Williams and her body was found two miles from West Point. not far from her home. She had left home at 2 o'clock this afternoon to pick berries and failing to return friends went in search of her In short time they found her dead body and immedi- ately searching parties were formed to look for the murderer.
 Chief of Police Morrison. of this city, was rotified and asked to send blood hounds to the scene. There is but lit- tie doubt that the murdered will be caught as thI whole section of country is being secured by armed bodies of men.

 The impre ssion seems to prevail that this county was named in honor of Gov Pickens. This is a mistake. It was named for Gen. Andrew Pickens, of South Carolina.
 This county was organized in 1890, and was created and named by act of the legislature passed on the 18th of Decem- Der. 1920. Gcv. Pickens came to this state only a short time before that date and was elected governor in 1921. At the time of his election as governor he was not known in this part of the state. and it is stated that Judge Ezekiel Pickens, who was judge of the circuit court for many years prior to and including 1S4S was widely known throughout Alabama, having held court in every county in the state. Neither Gov. Israel Pickens nor Judge Ezekiel Picllens claimed the honor of the name of this county. and the hjs- torians of the county, with one excep- tion, state that Gen. Andrew Pickens, of revolutionary fame, was the person for whom this county was named.
 The first court of Pickens was held at the house of Jacob Danby. There were three places of voting in the county. out at Mitchells, Carr's precinct, one between the old towns of Yorkville and Nashville, and the other at James Hsfiin's, near the Garden, at the residence of the grand father of the late Judge Hefiin; of Bir- mrghsm.

GUARDING AGAINST THE HEAT.

 ,'The Japaness method of withstanding the heat is one which appeals to me" said The Doctor, in discussing the hot weather Their system is a simple one. They wear the thinnest possible apparel and meet the requirements of the differ ent grades cf heat by donning or taking off clothing to meet the demands of the weather.
 This is sensible. Two garments, one half as thick as the other, will be warmer whsn worn together and of course. cooler when worn singly.
 The Doctor further explained that the prsinonltory symptoms of coming heat prostratiOn were generally dizziness feeling of stupidity and a general de- precision. In ordinary instances, when these symptoms become noticeable, it is the wisest course to seek some cool and shady spot where attendance is possible Attendance is necessary, as the dashing Of cool water upon the head is one of the most efficacious remedies.

TO MAKE CHAINLESSs WHEELS.
Rival Manufacturers Hope to Break
Down the Columbia Patents.

TOLEDO, o., Oc:. PA combination of
leading bicycle manufacturing, among whom
are the Western Wheel works of Chicago,
the Yost Spalding, Syracuse, Stearns and
other companies, in fact about all the big
fellows except H. A. Lozier, who was not
invited to take part, has been secretly ef-
fected to make chainless bicycles on the same
lines as Col. Pope, Of the Columbia company,
about whose patents much has been said.
Expert patent attorneys were employed to
investigate Col. Popes patents. It was
found that he had gathered in all the old
league chainless wheel paten.s, which the
attorneys say not worth the paper on
which they written. Upon the strength
of this statement, these other makers will
make wheels under the same patents as tina
trade may demand, and if Pope is disposed
to make a contest fund has been created
out of which the expenses of litiga ion will
be paid.
The syndicate has been thoroughly organ
lied, although the manufacturers are very
reticent on the subject. prominent con-

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-The dry goods mar
ket is still quiet, with a tendency toward
weakness reported in nearly all cotton lines,
and the demand for both cotton and woolens
being somewhat lighter than has previously
been the case. In spring dress goods the
market is comparatively strong, but without
feature in any grade. Staple cottons still
show unsatisfactory results although sellers
are very much easier to deal with than has
heretofore been the case. In coarse colored
cottons there is no change, the market being
quiet and easy Print cloths are still feature
less, with very light sales. In odd goods
ket quotations still remain 2Ssc and bids
for considerable quantities would probably
draw out goods at that figure.
