Don't Worry.

This would be a comparatively
happy world if we did not suffer so
much from things that did not hap
pen,'' SAYS the man who sermon
ICES. .'How our shoulders ache
under tue weight of burdens we are
never called on to bear. How our
hearts are wrung with grief that
never takes shape. 1t costs us an
untold amount of unnecessary mis-
cry, this worrying about things that
never happen, it takes away the
strength We have for work and
leaves us weak and exhausted.
Worry is the nail in the coffin OF
the man not yet dead 1t is the
Grape on the door annoua uacing the
funeral that won't take place for
wears to come. l don't believe in
worrying; 1t never has done any
good. 1t has never yet brought
sunshine to any one, but has, times
without number, caused the sun to
pass behind the cloud to be seen in
the sky; it has exhausted the
strength Of yesterday that is need
ed to push forward the work OF to-
day. 1 want to repeat, Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof.

Admiral Schley, at last aroused
by the abuse and insults which
have been heaped upon hlm, has
asked for an investigation OF the
charges made against him In Mac
lays history OF the American Navy.
In this history he is called coward.
caitlff and cur, and held up to pub
lie contempt generally. Of all
things Of which he has heretofore
been accused, no one, not even
his bitterest enemies, have thought
to characterize Admiral Schley's
conduct at Santiago as beng
cowardly. 1t would seem though
that clique in the navy, headed
by Admiral Crowninshield, have
termined TO drive HIM from the
navy in disgrace. They either
wish to dispose of him on account
of their pet, Sampson, or because
of the fact that Schley is a South
erner, which we hnow not, but We
can only join with his many friends
in asking that justice be done, and
the tongue OF slander against a
brave man be silenced.-Southern

JIM BROWN CAPTURED
AssAILANT or YOUNG WOMAN
 OF sPRINGvILLE.
The Negro is an Escaped Convict from the South Carolina Peni- tentiary and He May Not
 Be Brought Back.

Birmingham, June 19.-(SpeciaD-
 A message from Ashville, St. Clair
 County. received here today, says that
 the negro who was recently arrested at
 Charleston, s. C., on suspicion of being
 Him Brown, the ass ailant of Miss Dell
 Garrett. young white woman near
 Sprinxyille. St Clair County is the
 right man having been identified by a
 committee of citizens who went from
 SprinRyiIle to Charleston for that pur-
 pose. It develops also that Brown Is
 an escaped convict from the South
 Carolina penitentiary and there may
 be, some trouble in getting him back to
 Alabama. He got out Of the South
 Carolina penitentiary several years ago
 and made his way to Alabama. Every
 effort will be made to have the South Carolina authorities turn him over to officers from this State. The negro has already refused to return without a requisition. The crime for which Brown
 is wanted at Springviile Is one of the
 most brutal ever committed In North Alabama. After waylaying the young
 woman he assaulted her and then at- tempted to drown her in a pond. En- ragged citizens secured the woods for | ten days looking for Brown and had | they found him he would have been lynched and might have been burned at the stake. One negro who lied from | a posse was shot to death under the belief that he was Brown. It turned | out afterward that he was not Brown, | but was a tramp who had just been put | off a freight train. This killing oc" | cured near Leeds. If Brown is brought | back he will likely be placed in jail | here.

A NEGRO'S BOLD CRIME
AM ATTEMPTED ASSAULT IN
 HIGH JACKSON.
Aurborn 6mithers Entered Eoon of Mrs. Miller and Attempted to Chloroform Her-Woman
 Falls Over Precipice.

Scottsboro, June 19.-(Special.) )--One of the most daring attempts to outrage was made by Aurborn Smithers, ne- gro, at Paint Rock Station, Monday night, on the person of Mrs. Miller, a highly respectable widow residing there. Mrs. Miller and her io-year-old son live in a small cottage near the depot. They retired for the night at their usual hour. Sometime early in the night Mrs. Miller was awakened by something touching her hand. Think ing probably that it was the little boys pet dog that sometimes got in the bed room. she spoke to 1t, and soon dozed off to sleep. She was again awakened bv something touching her face and this time she distinctly detected the odor of chloroform and springlng from her bed she turned up lamp and saw the negro Smithers. whom she knew, jump through the door. She irnmedi- ately aroused the .neighbors and they were not long in locating and captur- ing him.
 Sheriff Austin went there yesterday and brought him back and placed him in jail here. The negro admitted to Deputy Sheriff Drilling that he had gone to the house of Mrs. Miller for the purpose of outraging her. The people at Paint Rock were greatly aroused and strong talk of lynching was heard on all sides. The Sheriff and his dep- uties kept the negro hid out until the train arrived and got him to Scottsboro

HI way SUIuNJs
 Ashland. June l9.--(Special.)- grand jury of this County has ad- journei, having been in session for a week. and having found twenty-six in- dictments. This is an unusually large number of indictments for this Coul- ty, but under the able charge of Judge NJ N. Manning, and with the valuable assistance of Solicitor J. J. Haynes, this jury faithfully tried to do it's whole duty.
 The people in this section are closely watching the proceedings of the Con stitutional Convention. Considerable dissatisfaction seems to exist at the failure of the Convention to raise the Governor's calary. Your correspon- dent has not conversed with any one here on the subject. who does not favor the ordinance raising the Governors salary to 5000. There are salaries of some of the officials appointed by the Governor. that the people think ought to be reduced. But the salary of the Governor ought to be raised. More interest is taken in the ordi- nances of the Convention relating to suffrage, than to all others. The peo- pie are patiently awaiting the report of the Committee on Suffrage and Elections.
 The cotton fields around here are now being worked, but the plant Is small and in many instances has not been chopped out. Farmers are some what Respondent by reason of the poor l prospect of crop.

Years passed and hearing that her husband was dead she married a man named Willis, by whom she had two children. Willis compelled nls wife to give his daughter by his nrst wife to friends to rear, and then oe- serted her.
 After years of hard work Ingram ac- cumulatee some money and began to search for his wife and little daughter. He found his child. now grown to Wo- mans estate, and hearing some trace of his deserted wife he came to Flor ence to find her. The day he arrived she had gone out to look for another home and had almost given up in oe- spair when a knock came at the door and as she opened it she met her nus band who had been dead to her TOT many years The meeting was very affecting. and it was soon arranged that she should go to his distant home w.ta him. Ingram will take care of his fos- ter children
