Friday Day Set for Hanging of Will Bedding and
 Jim Winters
BOTH MEN KILLED WOMEN
There Are Four Other Men Awaiting Decision of Their Fate at the Hands of the Supreme
 Court.

Next Friday is the day set for hanging Will Bedding and Jim Winters, both ne- groes. and unless a pardon comes for them from the Governor their earthly ex- istence will end on that day.
 They are both under sentence for mur- der, and strange to say both of the vic tins were women. Will Bedding killed a woman with whom he had been going for long time and with whom he had a dispute. He was tried and convicted without much trouble, the evidence point ing to plain case of murder in the first degree.
 Jim Winters also killed a woman, but it was his wife whose life he cut short because of quarrel. The condemned men take their doom calmly and neither of them have expressed any fear of dy- ing.
 Not ReligiousIy Inclined.
 The thought of religion and the world hereafter has never seemed to touch either of the men who are so soon to face their Maker for the worst crime known to civilization, and although sev- eral attempts have been made to con vert them. the words of the ministers pass in one ear and out of the other.
 The men will hang within about half hour of each other, the gallows not being large enough to accommodate two at time. One will be kept in the jail while the other pays society the debt he owes for breaking one of it's laws. Then the second will be put to death.
 GalIows in Store Room.
 The gallows used is a portable one and is kept in the jail store room from one hanging to the next. It can be folded up and laid away after an execution, and lays away until some one else is to be sent before his Maker.
 There are at present six men in the Jefferson county jail who are condemned to die, but the other four are to first have a chance before the Supreme Court. The cases were tried before the Criminal Court here and the men were all convicted but the cases were appealed and will have to be fought before the Supreme Court at Montgomery
 Four Await Their Fate.
 The men are Taylor Charleston, a. ne- gro, who shot and killed man in First avenue about seven months ago; Lloyd Scott, negro, who is charged with arson and also killing a man; Frank Duncan, the member of the Miller-Duncan gang who killed two of Birmingham's police men, for which Miller has already paid the penalty of death. Duncan also has a lifetime sentence in the mines against him, and Will Dorsey, who was convict ed of highway robbery in the Criminal Court and sentenced to hang.
 Besides those wno have been convicted there are about dozen being held to await trial before the criminal court or charges of murder or highway robbery. The jail contains more men sentenced to hang than it has ever had before.

FRUIT DEALERS
 HEAVIEST LOSERS.

Among those who suffered from the cold wave are the fruit dealers who occupy the little stands on the street corners. Not only are they forced to stay out in the cold, but large portion of their fruit was ruined by the sudden change, and Sunday and Sunday night the blackened bananas and oranges told better than words how cold it was. They were fro- zen.
 The plumbers will have a picnic today and tomorrow and it is probable there will be a much larger demand for men than there are men to fill it. On some blocks there are not more than one or possibly two houses where the water is .fa1r

IKE THE C~OPPERHEADS
MONTAGU WHITES DESCRIPTION
OF Beers WHO WANT PEACE.
He Attaches Little Importance to the
k~rOOnstad Committees Movement
to End the War.

NEW YORK, Jan 9.-Montagu White,
the representative of the South African
republic, said to-day that he thought no
Importance should be attached to the re-
ports and proceedings of so-called Boer
peace commissioners at Kroonstad and
Lord Kitchener's recent speech at the
burghers' meeting at Pretoria. 1T is per-
fectly natural" said Mr.. White, that
tarily to the British and who have taken
to return to their farms. but they nave
less influence with the fighting burghers
than the British soldiers who are oppos-
ing them. Their Intervention therefore
would be less acceptable than that of the
copperheads during the American civil
war or the loyalists during the war of in
dependence. / dismiss the idea that these
peace overtures are being exploited for
home consumption In England or for the
purpose of influencing foreign opinion and
hope that the publication of such reports
is only evidence of a wiser policy on the
part of the British government. AS the
names of Botha and De Wet are men,
toned in connection with these so-called
peace meetings il is as well to state that
these names are almost as common in
South Africa as those of Brown and Rob-
inson I'm England.
"The Beers are urged to accept the terms
offered by the British. What terms?
Beyond the recent rumors from London
that the policy of unconditional surrender
has been abandoned we are in ignorance
as to the nature of the terms offered.
Every one will welcome an equitable set
ement by which this deplorable tragedy
in South Africa can be satisfactorily
ended. but / must protest against these
so-called overtures being seriously ac-
cepted as indicating any relaxation of the
purpose of those in the field TO continue
the war until equitable terms have been
obtained"
