ertheleSs it is our proud record that there
has been no case of capital punishment
and only eight commitments to the peni-
Tertiary. There has been punishment for
the lawbreaker, charity for the poor and
afflicted and protection for all. 1t was our
pleasure, too, to accomplish all this with
out taxing people who had sufficient bur
denS to bear.
Let us hope that this generous, chart
table and magnanimous treatment of the
VanQuished may prove an example to the
nations of the world and a step forward in
the worlds progress toward a higher and
nobler humanity. We are glad to know
that this work is appreciated by you.
1t is needless to tell you, however, that
the United States does not maintain an
army for the purpose of furnishing the
city of Pekin with good municipal govern
ment. and as a business proposition your
appeal for the United States forces to re-
main longer in Pekn has little to stand
upon. That you still need our protection
there is little doubt, and as the broader
principles of humanity most frequently
sway the people of my country your petit
ton is not hopeless, and l shall be glad to
refer 1t to our government.
whatever the result of your petition,
whether we stay or go, it may be crafty
ing to you to know that the soldiers of the
United States who by force of circum-
stances came to China as your enemies are
now your friends, and we hope that this
friendship may endure.

MERCHANTS KICK
Sheffield Property Owners Object to
 Counc,'s Sidewalk Law.

Sheffield, August 2s-(Special.)- mass meeting of citizens was held at the opera house Saturday night to protest against the enforcement of an ordinance enacted by the City Council requiring owners of lots on the principal streets of the city to lay concrete sidewalks in front of their property. It was a representative assem- blaze, and several forceful speeches were made against the measure, the proceed ing concluding with the adoption of reso- lutions calling upon the council to re- peal the objectionable ordinance. A com mittee of citizens was appointed to pre- sent the resolutions to the council, and provision was made for the holding of an> other meeting in the event the council fails to repeal the sidewalk ordinance.
 It is estimated that the work provided for in the ordinance would cost, In the aggregate, about s100,000. Many owners of vacant lots declare that its enforcement would mean virtually confiscation of their property.
 The mercantile establishment of Levy Bros. was burglariZed a few nights ago, and about $300 worth of goods, furnace checks, etc., secured by the burglars.

.W endorse Peruna because have found by personal experience fhat II Is not 8 common patent medicine, buf q scientifically prepared medicine which simply cures cafarrh and cieanses fhe blood Of its impurities, Keeping fhe system In q fine, healthy condition. I consider 1t as rather a carefully pre- pared physician's prescription, and have never found any which acts as promptly and permanently as Peruna.
 "It deserves the highest praise, and I know that those who have tried it, have perfect faith in it."-C. F. JENKINS.
 After all the personal experience of one man is worth more than the theo- retical guesses of thousand men. MT. Jenkins knows what he is talking about when he recommends Peruna, because he has tried 1t. Peruna cures catarrh because it reaches the source of catarrh.

How Escape Was Effected.

The manner in which the escape of the first two was made could not be learned, but the four who escaped Monday night broke through a window near the fire escape In the third ward on the second floor. These four were men and succeeded in making good their escape.
 Last night woman slipped away from her attendant while out walking in the park, and could not be found.
 Of this number one man was caught In his night clothes wandering In the Okti- behe swamps, about two or three miles south of the asylum, by a man who was hunting stray cattle. He was put in a buggy and returned to the asylum.
 Two of the men are also reported to be located near Morton, ziss., and an effort will be made to get them today.
 Inquiry at the asylum today revealed the fact the Superintendent J. M. Blu chanan went to Memphis on the excur- sion last Monday morning and since then five of the escapes have been made.
 Hospital Steward R. K. Moody, was asked concerning the matter, but besides admitting the above facts, would make no statement for publication, saying that he did not think the matter should be published, and that he would leave the matter to Dr. Buchar4n.
 Much uneasiness and fear Is felt by the residents in the neighborhood of the asy- lum.

PE-RU-NA rss s11asas sTs41.. ACTS PROMPTLY.

Peruna cleanses the blood of it's fn1- purities because 1t regulates those organs that make blood.
 Peruna keeps the system in hnes healthy condition, because it restores the function of every organ. and brings vigor to the organic nervous system.
 MT. Jenkins is right. Peruna Is care- fully prepared prescription prepared by one of the oldest and best-known physi- clans in. America. This is why 1t acts promptly and permanently.

After taking but four bottles, am very much pleased indeed. lean safely say that one moro bottle will Do enough. After taking the second bottle I could go to work at my trade (sawyer) and the dust has no effect on my throat now. I shall recommend Peruna to everybody who suffers with catarrh."- E. W. Radtke.

UNIONTOWN
Something of the Little City in the
 Wire Grass Region.

Uniontown, August 2S-(Special )-There has just been completed in Uniontown probably the purest specimen of mediaeval or Gothic architecture in the whole South. It is the memorial Episcopal Church erected by Mrs Lyle Overton Price Da- vidson to the memory of her husband, Alexander c. Davidson, who was born in 1928 and died in 1S9
 From the exterior this little church looks as though 1t might have been lifted right up out of the middle ages and set down in the twentieth century. The dia- pered pressed brick laid with black nor tar, the grained Gothic roof. the extreme ly low caves, the various mullioned gable windows, and above all the little bell tower exposing the whole bell to view, gives one an absolutely unique impress sion. By an artistic arrangement one side of the low front wall Is extended to join the tomb of Mir Davidson, which Is of the same material as the church.
 The interior, with its green stained pews and walls, it's stone pavement and artistic windows, presents monastic effect that Is seldom equaled.
 The large front window representing the risen Lord in field of lilies, with Cal vary and Jerusalem in the distance in su- perb coloring of violet, amethyst, gold, crimson and green. was designed by Mrs. Clara Weaver Parrish, formerly of Sell ma, now of New York city
 One of the gable windows is in memory of Leigh Richmond Terrell. colonel In the Confederate army, and has in the center, richly colored, small Confederate flag said to be the only one in the world ever placed in a. church window. MT Terrell was an uncle of Robert Terrell. of the firm of Earle, Terrell & O., in Birming- ham,
 This beautiful little church was built by Mrs. Davidson according to the de- signs of Edwin H. Oliver of New Orleans and will be presented to the parish of Uniontown, which will use and main- tain it.
 Uniontown will keep up its reputation for being one of the most prosperous lit- tie towns in the State by handling about 16,0O0 bales of cotton this season. The town and surrounding country supports four ginneries, large compress and a cotton mill employing about a hundred people.

Parker has al ways been a Democrat and was at one time editor of the Tuscaloosa Chronicle. He declares that he is not opposed to the grandfather clause. but ayers that he Is much prouder to be able to vote on his own merits than on that of another. He is of the opinion also that if the negro had been more conservative years ago re- grading the franchise they would have had less trouble. On the whole, 1t is a well written interview and clear ex- pression of his views.

 The office is now being filled by Hon. Richard H. Lowe of this city, but under the provisions of the new constitution he is not eligible.
