 MAKES ESCAPE
(Continued from Page one.)

help, I will come back and stand trial, for I do not think I would be found guilty again could be prepared. Patrick Henry once said, Give me liberty or give me death, and with me it Is the same. and if we accomplish the latter I will say we have won a great battle and just and right. It has been hard proposition and has taken time. Just think of all the work that is done. and not a prisoner except those going with me know word about it! Work commenced over a month ago, and it is not long now till the big boat leaves or sinks into oblivion and all is lost.
 ''Mr. Editor, if you ever receive this you can bank on it that I am on earth as I intend mailing this myself, and if I do not go down In smoke. 1t will be up in a balloon. Old time ship Is a-rolling. so adieu. Frank Duncan.

Cummins is one of the leading planters of East Perry, and he has a great many friends and admirers in Selma, who are glad to know that he is prospering. He makes good crops every year.

J. l.. Schweizer, an old and popular citizen, is quite i'll at his home on Frank lin Street. About a year ago he turned over his business to his two sons and visited his old home in Switzerland. He enjoyed his trip very much and came home looking the picture of health. The members of the Alabama Press Associa- tion. who went on the trip to California, will remember his jovial disposition and his open-hearted generosity. He and MT. Ludwig Erlenbach did not come home with the Press Association, but remained in California for several weeks, taking in the sights of the great West. MT. Schweizer has not been in the best of health of late. His host of friends in Selma and elsewhere hope that his ill., ness is only temporary.

PRETTY LITTLE COMEDY
VERY WELL PRESEN'

"A White Elephant" or what is bet
ter known as "A Legal Document" was
presented in an exceptionally credit
able manner at Manager opera house
last night and the audience showed les
appreciation by the hearty applause
given. The play, which had been seen
here before. is a simple yet clever and
wholesome love romance which carries
much humor and considerable interest.
1t is just what was advertised-clean,
clever and comical. The parts were
all well taken. and Miss Wayne. Mr..
Pringle n Miss Towner displayed
much ability in their respective parts.
The specialties between the acts were
heartily enjoyed and were as good as
Any ever seen here. The White Ele.
plant was preceded by a one-act farce
entitle "a Happy Pair" which served
to warm the audience up to real treat
to come. The whole performance was
very creditable.
The gowns worn by Miss Frances
Wayne were beautiful, equaling If not
surprising any eve worn here even In
Shakespearean or French plays.
