Cut Seven Times.

Yesterday afternoon a serious cutting scrape took place at the Cawthon Cotton AS result Clint, Dickinson was cut sev- en times. The particulars of the cutting scrape as near as they could be gather ed, are about as follows:
 Mrs. Dickinson had her photograph ta- ken. and it is alleged that man named Jim Booker stole the pictures and was exhibiting them about town. This made Dickinson very angry and he had a war rant sworn out for Booker, charging him with larceny. Both men work in the Cawthon Cotton Mills, and the police told Dickinson that they would be at the cot ton factory at F m for him to point Booker out to them so that they could arrest him on the charge of larceny.
 When the whistle blew for noon the police had not put fin an appearance so Dickinson took 1t on himself to arrest Booker As the latter went to walk out of the factory Dickinson put his hand on Cookers shoulder and told him to consider himself under arrest. But Book CT did not propose to be arrested so easi- ly. so he drew his pocket knife and com menced to care Dickinsons anatomy when bystanders rushed In and separat- ed them. As 1t was Dickinson was pret- ty badly cut up, receiving seven ugly gashes. One on his left arm lay the hone bare for a space of four or five inches and the doctor who attended him had to take five or six stitches in the gaping wound in order to close it. He received one or two slight wounds in the side and stomach. and received several slighs scratches on the hip and thigh
 Booker was arrested and there are two charges docketed against him. one for larceny and another for assault with in- tent to murder. The neighborhood of the factory was badly stirred up over the af- fair and large crowd will doubtless be at police headquarters in the morning when the case comes up for trial. The case will hardly be called, however, as Dickinson's wounds will probably not permit him to be in court for several days yet.

 Students at Auburn.

Auburn, Dec. 1O.-(Special. .)-Mr. NJ. O. Eldridge, of the United States Depart. ment of Agriculture, lectured at the Ala bama Polytechnic Institute last night on "The Roads of the World" The lecture was illustrated with stereoptIcon views of roads. good and bad, from all parts of the world and of the different meth ods of building roads employed.
 Mir. Eldridge is member of the party on the good roads train which has been in the South since early in October and came here by invitation of President Broun and the faculty of the college tc lecture before the students.
 The lecture was very interesting and resulted in sowing good seed In good ground. The general interest in the sub- feet of good roads was manifested by the very large attendance on this lec- ture notwithstanding the heavy weather and the fact that there was circus in operation in town.
 The idea that there is fun fin possun hunt is as much of a mistake the idea tha 'possum is good to eat.

Two Neeroes to Hang.

Unless Governor Jelks intervenes, Will Redden and Jim Winters, both colored. will be hanged in the county jail here on Friday. Both were convicted and sen- fenced to hang for killing negro wo- man. The negroes will be executed about thirty minutes apart, the first one to be hanged about Il o'clock. The rope which will be used in the execution of the two negroes is now being stretched and other preparations are being made. Neither negro has professed religion nor has a minister been to see them except once. Neither one realizes the fast approach of their last day on earth and neither one seems to care much. This will be the second double hanging of the present year. Four other men are confined in the county jail here convicted and under sentence of death. but their cases were appealed to the Supreme Court and that body will have to act before execution can be carried out.

 After Great Hardships.

Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 1O.-The schooner Ralph J. Long, Capt. NJ. F. Creme, forty-seven days from Cape Nome, with ninety passengers and fifteen stow awavs, has arrived here after one of the most eventful voyages of any vessel sailing from the north.
 Leaving Nome Oc.oOer B with pro- visions enough to last her to Dutch Har- bor under favorable circumstances, be- fore reaching that port the water supply gave out and for two days the passen- gers were without water. From the time of sailing from Dutch Harbor, the Long had continual gales of unusual severity, the worst being on November Il, when seas swept the vessel from stem to stern, carrying away a portion of the water supply and one lifeboat Mate Hanson was washed overheard by an immense sea and drowned. The last two weeks of the trip the passengers had to depend on what rain they could catch for a water supply.
