Haggard. He Is connected with the Age
Herald. He was present with Chief of Po-
lice Mcdonald and others when Golson
made statement in which he said he
only shot twice. This was on the day Of
the arrest and took place in the room over
warden's office at the Jail. Mr.. Haggard
came to me the next day and asked per-
mission to have talk with Golson, which
I granted. I went with Mr.. Haggard to
the jail and was present during the inter-
view. At that time Golson stated that he
was sitting in the room with his wife and
saw a man come up on the porch and
jumped up and grabbed his gun from over
the fireplace and when he saw the front
door opened fired twice. I told him that
he evidently fired more than twice. as Mr..
Warnock was shot three times. On the
following day had another talk with Col
son and he said that 1t was possible that he
had shot three times, as he remembered
that he broke his gun going down the alley
and he might have put in another car
fridge. l offered no inducement to him to
make these statements.
Made careful survey of the premises. Ex-
amined the door and found two Shots indi-
eating that one was from inside and one
from the outside. examined door again

marks of bullet which appears to have
been fired from the inside while the door

experience in observing the effect of bull
let's shot into wood. 1 cannot say which
shot was fired first. I made no examination
of the inside of the room at the time for
bullet marks and when I went to the house
not long since to make the drawing the
room had been re-papered. On the day OF
the arrest the defendant was somewhat ex-
cited when he was taken to the Jail. There
was a good sized crowd congregated on
the outside of the jail, which was composed
chiefly of his own people I don't know
whether Mr.. Love was present when Col
son made the statement or not. He might
have been. Don't remember that Love dis
puted any statement that was made. Don't
remember how the matter was brought up.
l think Chief Mcdonald first asked Golson
II he knew him. Also remember that Col
son recognized a deputy who was here
from Autauga county and spoke to him.

LOUISIANA PLANTERS.
Prominent Party Visited the Birming.
ham District.

A party of prominent Louisiana planters
and refiners from the Teche section visited
the Birmingham district yesterday as the
guests of the Southern Railway company.
In the party were the Hon. John Pharr,
who headed the republican ticket for gov
ernor of louisiana A. H. Gay, a wealthy
planter; Joseph Brig, Mr.. Weems of the
Oaklawn refinery; State Senator Martin,
president of a large refinery; Mr.. Booads
and Mr.. Sutliff. These gentlemen represent
important interests and are large consum-
ers of coal The object of their visit was
to inspect the coal mines and the barge
facilities of the Southern Railway company
on the Mississippi river. To an Age-Herald
reporter they expressed themselves as much
pleased with their trip and with Alabama
coal. This Is the third party from the
Teche district that has been brought to
Birmingham by the Southern this season.
The result never fails to be favorable to
Birmingham coal. Formerly, only the
Pittsburg coal was used by the Louisiana
planters, but the Alabama article Is now
getting the preference.
J. s. B. Thompson, assistant general su-
perintendent Of the Southern, ]. r. Ryan
and w. e. Leake had charge of the
party.

MONDAY AFTERNOON.
Committee Will Meet to Consider New
City Hall

Chairman RAINBOW Of the special COM
mittee appointed by the board of aldermen
to look into the building of a new city hall
has called meeting for Monday afternoon
at o'clock
Mr.. RAINBOW said yesterday that the old
city building now needed repairs which
would DO put off until after a decision was
reached on the erection of a new building.
II work Is to begin at once 1t is useless to
throw away mare money on the old shack
Mr.. RAINBOW said that the present building
was constant expense and then could not
be kept in decent shape.
The committee will consider all phases
of the question at its meeting Monday af-
ternoon 1t will be suggested that new
city administration will soon be at the
helm and that possibly the work had best
be put of until after the election.

other ingredients, by FIR. Gehre, civil
engineer of Zurich. It is an improve
ment ON papro little, invented by the
same man. 1t is especially intended
for jointless roofs or DOORS, and is a
non-conductor of heat, cold or sound.
1t is hard as a stone, but has a soft,
lineoleum-like feeling under foot, and
is noiseless. 1t weighs less than stone
or cement, and 22O pounds of the pre-
paration in powdered form, spread 4
inch thick, will cover ninety square
feet The cost is said to be exceeding
ly low, and it can be laid without
special machinery; it is dry in twenty
four hours, and can then be highly
polished.

The benevolence of John Wesley was
certainly not of the kind which cost
no self denial. When his income was
but $3.50 a year, he gave away $40.
The next year, receiving $3.50, he still
only spent $12O on himself and gave
away the remainder. The following
year he received $3.50, and OF this he
bestowed 1910 on the poor. In the
course of so years he gave away more
than $15O,00O. ...--...

for help, and Johnson recognized the
captains voice.
''The captains alive yet" he ex-
claimed aloud, "and III help him if 1
can, for didn't he give Jim johnson
his hand afore the whole ships COM
pany?'
Waiting till the breakers turned to
run out he launched the boat and pull
ed with a will toward. the wreck
Meanwhile, how Jared it with the
doomed captain, ais he stood there
alone with death? Perhaps even his
stout heart may have failed for mo-
ment at the thought of loved ones far
away, who were praying that he might
come safe back from sea; but if SO he
showed no outward signs of it ais he
looked fearlessly upon the gushing
waves.
Suddenly from out of the darkness
he SAW a boat coming toward him, in
which sat the scapegrace, Johnson,
bending to his oars with the strength
of a giant
And as he approached he could hear
beneath his feet the rending of the
timbers, and the gurgle of the fatal
water as it poured in, keeping time TO
the oar strokes of mis- deliverer.
F'Keep up good heart captain
shouted Johnson "and I'LL save you"
At that moment a mountainous wave
broke over the wreck, completely burg
ing it for an instant. A terrible crash
was heard, and when the spray clear-
ed it was seen that the vessel had
parted amidships, and that the whole
after part was gone. The bow, how
ever, still held firm, and upon it, shad-
ow like in the titful moonlight, stood
the dark figure of the captain.
r'Hold up, captain!" again shouted
Johnson. 'Another minute and you're
saved!''
But it is often that "other minute"
which makes all the difference. Just
as the boat ran alongside the wreck
another tremendous sea overwhelmed
both. There was a second crash, loud
err than the first, stif1ed cry, and
when the binding spray again cleared
nothing remained to tell the sad fate
of the smuggler and her crew.

The overheated condition in which
Americans are apt to keep their hOdses
is a chief cause, according 10 III All
thority, of the scant, brittle and pre-
maturely gray hair of which many
American women complain. The air
is too dry for luxuriant hair, such as
dwellers in moist climates possess. The
increasing tendency among women to
be much out of doors is helpful, but
the same authority in urging aus much
outdoor air as possible cautions
against exposing the head unprotected

hair showing a tendency of dryness
should be slightly dampened every
day.
