THE PRUDENTIAL
Has the Strength of the Rock of Gibral-
ter-B. H Richardson, Gen Agt

Among the most prominent insurance
men of Alabama is Mr.. B. II. Richardson
of this city, who is general agent for the
Prudential, and who has offices in the
ChalifouX building.
The Prudential is one of the strongest life
insurance companies in the country. This
company invites compariton of its policies
with those of other companies, and fire.
qnentiy submits for public inspection state
ments of its affairs, which its agents are
authorized to publish in the newspapers. .
On another page of todays AgeHerald
will be found a full half-page advertise
ment of the Prudential, in which is given
in plain figures a statement Of the com
pany's business for the last few years.
This statement speaks for itself and need
not be repeated here. Accompanying the
statement is a cut of the Rock of Gibralter,
which is symbolic of the Prudential's
strength, and which is used in all of the
company's literature.
The Prudential was fortunate in securing
the services of Mr.. Richardson as its gem
eral agent. Mr.. Richardson has a large
corps of hustling assistants, and is doing
his share of the business in Alabama. %+%

up a mass meeting for the purpose or
adopting resolutions endorsing Governor

democrats met with a spirit somewhat hos
tile to their intentions. The democrats of
Bossemer, in fact. almost as a unit, are
not with the governor in his endeaVor to
put a quietus on the constitutional eonven-
ton. However there are certain faithful
souls in town that are very anxious TO on
dorsc the governor, so last night they held
a little meeting of their own in a lawyers
effice in the Rebie block. The details of
tha meeting are shrouded in mystery.
Great difficulty, indeed is experienced in
finding any one who was present. How
ever, there must have been some one there.

not take many people, though, to produce
such resolutions, for they were quite mild,

HOUSTON SANDERS CAUGHT
Claims He Took No Part in the Shoot
ing-John Sanders Is Yet Alive
-. Conspiracy to Kill
Mullen.

Marion April 29-(Special.) -onfcers and
citizens have been searching the country
for tho past forty-eght hours for Luke
Sanders, one of the negroes implicated in
the killing of Mullen, the road overseer on
Thursday.
Houston Sanders was captured Friday
night. Houston says he made no effort to
escape and that he had no pistol and took
no part in the shooting. The inquest was
begun Friday evening before Justice Cliff
ton Johnston, and as result of the inves
tigation thus far twenty negroes are now
in Jail. Excitement has not abated in the
least and the community in which the kill
ing occurred is up in arms and serious
trouble is expected every hour.
The Sanders family is large and it is
thought they are shielding Luke. The cor
oners investigation has developed beyond
question that conspiracy was planned to
xiii Mullen, and as the case proceeds, the
more hienous the case appears.
John Sanders, reported dead, is yet alive
and lingering in the county jail in hearing
of the voices of twenty of those who are
thought to be his accomplices. He is bad
ly shot, one ball passing through his right
lung. The doctors say he cannot i've. 1T
was reported this morning that Luke San
ders spent last night with sister on Ca
haba river near the line of Perry and Dali
las and is now being trailed by blood
hounds. The common talk is he will never
be arrested but, if arrested, he will be
lynched. John Sanders is closely watched
by officials and only his condition saves
him from the fury of the friends of Mullen.
Tho Sanders family is the largest negro
family in the county, the total number OF
relatives being estimated at over a hun
dred. 1t has been the saying for years that
there are three families in Perry county,
the white people, the black people and the
Sanders people, the latter being the former
owners of the older set of the Sanders ne
groes.
There is no doubt but that the moose Will
play a part before things reach a quetus.

ST. Louis, April 29.-The Westliche Post
will tomorrow print an article in the Eng
fish language defining the policy of all Ger
man. American papers in this country re-
garding Americanism against Imperialism.
The article, in part, follows:
Thine and again the attempt has been
made to supplant American republieanism
with Imperialism. Time and again Ameri-
can patriotism and that high and far-seeing
love of mankind which unites men of all
countries in a common brotherhood of siu-
manity have rallied and won against it.
When, half a century ago, we had the same
cries of manifest destiny the conquer
ing Saxon, expansion and all the rest
we are hearing over again and again now,
Americans as radically opposed to each
other in most things as were Calhoun and
Corwin Joined with Clay Webster, Lowell,
Clayton and Clemens against 1t.
What American can read this without
indignant refusal to consent that blood
once our allies shall saturate the soil en-
which they were born that we may be
praised by the London Times for our 10
Bile work for progress in furthering Brit
ish plans for Remembering and robbing
China?

dts native Americanism, if you Wild eX-
cept what COMMUNICATIONS are saying
now in declaring that they gave up home
and friends and came thousands of miles
into an unknown country for the deep love,
not of British colonalism, but of Ameri-
can republicanism. To that they are loyal
now and always To Amercanism, not to
the British commercialism of the bayonet
to Americanism, to liberty. to progress,
to freedom from miitarism, to the expecta-
ton of time when time will como when
the world will longer be shackled by
Imperialism with bayonets and fetters.'
"They have sent the American eagle
abroad bearing not the olive branch, but
with shackes in his talons.
ANY party which commits itself to them
will we wiped out of existence. Any
leader who attempts to check civilization
and progress under American institutions
ard through American principles will be
repudiated and disgraced; any foreign ma
ton for it's own brutal and selfish purpose
attempts to use tie American people as
cats paw in schemes of frand and violence
will find itself the victim of the reactions
of malevonent scheming. Justice, lib
erty-progress through justice and liberty,
until the whole world is elevated by our ma
tional life as it has been by the individual
life of Washngton-that is the manifest
destiny of America; for what the flag
