Corner Stone Laid for Public School
 Building for Negroes.

Bessemer, August 22.-(Special.) J. The cornerstone of the new public school building for negroes was laid this afternoon at 3 o'clock, the exer- cises being quite impressive. The laying of the stone with Masonic rites was preceded by a parade through town, in which many representatives of colored lodges took part The large crowd and brass band then re- paired to the site for the new build ing at the corner of Twenty-third street and Ninth avenue. Among those who took part in the exercises were the members of Sharon lodge No. 38, A. P. and A. M., Rev. B. R. Stien act ing grand master; Grand High Priest o. c. Clayborne, Dr. w. H. Coleman, Dr. J. W. AIdridge. The committee in charge were 2. R. Stien, David N. Parker, John Miarte, William Mason, G. L. Holmes.
 E. J. Bryant of this city and Miss Lillian Posey were happily married last night at Jonesboro The cere- mony was quiet home affair and fol- lowed by brief honeymoon.
 The Epworth League held social meeting tonight at the residence of MT. and Mrs. Wm. H. H. Judson. An amusing feature of the occasion was debate on the question: Resolved, That Marriage Is a Failure" Miss Bessie Spencer and MT. W. Shelton Welch handling the negative and the Rev. MT. Read and Mrs. w. J. Long the affirmative. There was quite a large attendance

bile and Ohio had absorbed and acquired lines of railroad that were then being operated independently, and from that fact It used to cost the firm of which was Q member $1.50 freight on a barrel of four and the ratio on all products that the great mass of Alabama people were compelled to buy, taking from four teen to twenty-five days for them to per- form this service at $l.50 per barrel. and after the railroads had absorbed the con meeting lines, we get our freight reduced from $l50 to 85 cents per barrel This reduction was not brought about by any machinery of the state government or by any agitation of political demagogles, but was because of the fact that they were able to perform this service cheaper. and they did so, and it was of great bene- lit to the masses of wage-earners In our section of Alabama. The railroad did not retain this Sl15 in It's treasury, nor did the merchant get an increased profit of s1.15, but the s1.15 stayed in the pockets of the farmers and other citizens of Alabama
 The Christian-Craft Co.,, of which was vice president and active manager, were also one of the largest and first to enter the fields of the tropics to import bananas, and having to compete with Baltimore, New York New Orleans and
 
 have the transportation facilities, and had not the railroads that run out of Mobile, assisted by giving us rates and service to compete with the other cities, Mobile today would not be the second largest banana port in America. Thus you see, the railroads have been great benefit instead of a menace, as Mr. Conner would have the masses to believe by his political demagogury The firm that 1 was connected with were also largely in the export timber business, and until the railroads had come to our assistance, and made rate of freight on lumber to the great northwest, millions and millions of feet of lumber were burn ed because there was no market or outlet This was a great waste, and by the rail- roads giving us the rates we were able to convert this into manufactured pro- duet, thereby enhancing the stumpage values of Alabama untold amounts, giY- ing employment to thousands of people, and adding materially to the wealth, as well as the commercial industries. I will not take up any more of your time, but should be glad to have you give this some publicity, and I again wish to say that I Intend to bring MT. Comer's as- sertion before the Commercial club, and have them and my colleagues make an official denial of his assertions that we are individually or collectively. as the Commercial club of Mobile, directly un- der the control of MT.

WALTER BAILEY
 DIES ON GALLONS
NEGRO WHO WAS CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF RoBT. HUNTER DIES WITHOUT ADMITTING HIS GUILT.

Selma, August Especially third hanging that has taken place in Dallas county in late years occurred at the county Jail today, sherifr Blackwell pull Ing the lever of the gallows at exactly s;40 a. m. Welter Bailey was the name of the condemned man and he went upon the fatal trapdoor trembling like an as- pen leaf. The hanging was pulled off earlier than usual in order to avoid the crowd that congregates on such occa- sions, and when the crowds began to wend their way towards the Jail they learned that the negro had been hanged an hour or more before and that his body was then en route to his former home near Orrville.
 On being asked by an Age-Hcrald rep resentative if he had killed Robert Hun ter tho condemned negro replied: 'I haven't anything to do with that now. am not going to say any more about that" He has never confessed to the killing. although the evidence was over wheiming against him.
 The crime for which Bailey was hanged today was committed in October, 1899. Robert Hunter was his victim. Hunter 8 wife and Bailey had become enamored Of each other, and one night as the husband sat before his fireplace in his humble cot Bailey slipped up to the cabin, and find- ing a hole in the logs, polod tho barrel of his pistol through the opening and fired. The ball sped on it's mission and Hunter toppled over daAd.
 It was always suspected, though never proven, that Hunters wife placed him in position to be killed that night and was fully aware whom the deed was to be done.
 After various delays and postpone ments the negro was tried at the Janu- ary term of the city ourt and found guilty. He was sentenced on February !, 1902. and at the moment the sentence Of death was pronounced upon him he made 8 sensational effort to escape. He made a break for liberty, but at the door of the courthouse he was stopped by So. licitor Quarles and others. It Is not thought he had any hopes of getting away, but he hoped to be shot and be thus saved the suspense of the awful wait before being hanged. Every precau- ton has been taken since his break for liberty to keep him from making another attempt, and special care was taken this morning to guard against 1t.

Reply to Judge Crook.
Anniston. Ala, August :;

<A4a-, august %, lyOZ. To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 As the letter of Judge Crook. published in your issue of the 22d instant, bearing date of the ath, is inaccurate, I feel 1t my duty to reply thereto.
 The statement that no Jelks club was formed is utterly untrue. Before MT. Tan ner began to speak the organization of the club was perfected by the election of Dr. J. r. Walker as president and Hon. Ross Biackmon as secretary, both of whom accepted their election with ap- propriate remarks. For two or three days prior 70 the organization Of the club lists had been circulated for signatures and nearly one thousand names had been signed to these lists. When the lists were taken around for signatures practically every man to whom they were presented signed them. One man who had over three hundred names on his list stated to me that only four or five parties had refused.
 others in sympathy with Governor Jelks were invited to the courthouse on the night of the 18th instant for the express purpose of forming the club. and 1t was formed in pursuance of that invitation.
 After speeches by both Walker and Blaclxmon MT. Tanner addressed the club for about an hour and was received with much enthusiasm and applause.
 No previous effort had been made in this town to form Jelks club MT Knox did not make personal effort last Fri day. the 18th, to form JellSs clup," nor at any other time. On the contrary on the date specified by Judge Crook Mir. Knox was In southeast Alabama and had been away from Anniston for several days before that date, and was away from Anniston for several days after that date.
 The statement that Calhoun county will so for Governor Johnston by 1000 or any other majority on next Monday is just as misleading as the other statements or Judge Crook. Both Anniston and Cal houn county will give good maJorities for Governor Jelks.
 Yours truly, TEIOS. E. KILBY,
 Chairman Jelks Campaign Committee.
