Shooting Toy Gun

The case of little George Erswell, who, several days ago, accidentally shot little Miss Weatherly daughter of James Wealth. erly, who was playing in her fathers resi- dence over a black away from Erswell's, was brought up for investigation.
 MT. Weatherly, father of the injured child, with MT. Erswells consent, made a statement of the case, telling how the boy had been shooting out of the window, where he had been sick, at a sparrow in tho tree; how, through mistake, some cartridges had been obtained for the gun which were entirely too heavily loaded, and other details. He asked that the light est fine be imposed on the boy but that the courts decision be given the widest publicity. He told of a number of acci- dents which had happened in this neigh borhood due to these toy guns, and wanted the custom broken up
 Judge Feagin said that on the other hand he was inclined to impose the heaviest fine in such case, and there will then be no doubt but that the offense will be fully advertised" However, as young Erswell was not present Judge Feagin put off his final decision on the case until this morn ing.

Our people. we believe. read the daily papers, and 1t occurs to us as strange, passing strange, that they were. until re- gently, profoundly ignorant of the fact that the removal of a plant of so much impor- tanee to their interests had been for months the subject of public discussion and the theme for public meetings in your city.'
 The letter then sarcasticallly refers to these alleged "co.neidenees," which are termed "an array of unusual clrcum- stances which warranted the charge that secret negotiations were being carried on. The removal of the wagon works to either Memphis or Nashville in event that it does not come to this city is again denied and the experiences of these cites with sub sidized industries is briefly referred to as an argument that burned child dreads fire" A high tribute is paid to Dr. Bellamys business ability, and the success which has attended the operation of the plant in Florence is referred to proof of his wisdom in selecting the location.
 The committee takes advantage of the opportunity to throw a few bouquets at their own city and undertakes to show that Florence is "all right" on rates and shipping facilit es.
 The letter ends as follows: I-,t,f.t
 No Other Erfo4t,
 Tn conclusion we desire to say that we think we have certainly shown to your sat isfaction that neither Memphis nor Nash vile are making any effcgts to secure the removal of the Florence Wagon Factory. This therefore leaves you without any av,aicS sion to further prosecute your negotiations in this matter. The only justification you of fer is completely removed, and we trust, therefore, that after consideration of this communication you will realize the injustice you would be doing yourselves as well as Florence by renewing your efforts to re- move this factory, erected and sustained by the capital and enterprise of our people. '"rhe reports of your proceedings show that your movement lacks the united sup port of your own people. Two of your most distinguished citizens, Hon. Robert J. Lowe and B. F. Moore, Esq, approved our protest and refused to sanction your ef- forts. We believe they voice the sentiments of a majority of your own public-sprited citizens, they certainly do, of fair minded, unprejudced men in all parts of Ala abama.
 The cordial relations which have ever ex- isted between the people of the two cities we should deeply regret to see impaired. A due and proper regard for the rights and interests of each city should control the ac- tions of both.
 With this letter our correspondence on the subject ends, but we take occasion to say in conclusion that if you see proper in disregard of our interests and rights to continue what regard a war on our industrial advancement, a proper spirit of self-respect and self-protection will impel us to meet the issue in way that will not prove advantageous to your interests. Very respectfully,
