1t is related of Sir Edward Bradford.
the Chief Of Police Commissioner of
London, that he once walked arm in
arm, so to speak, with a tigress. He
was out shooting, and always fear
less sportsman, had come to close quar-
tiers with his quarry. He fired. and
either the ball failed to take effect or
but slightly wounded the animal She
sprang at him and seized his left arm
above the elbow The pain must have
been terrible. but Sir Edward kept cool,
and realizing that it would be death to
drag his mangled arm away and allow
her to spring afresh at him, he DELHI
erately walked few agonizing PAGES
until his comrade was able to take aim
and kill the brute. Thus his courage
saved his life, though the amputation
Of his arm at the shoulder proved
necessary.

Badham, president of the Bessemer Land and Improvement Company, had purchased the Grand Hotel from the Charleston Savings Institution, MT. Morris Israel presi- dent, being the medium through which the trade was made. Twenty-Five thousand dollars was the price paid, and as the hotel Is a large and sub stantial brick structure originally erected by Mir. William Berney at a cost of $50,000, MT. Badham Is con- sidered to have made a good trade. The hotel has three stories. The first floor contains eight stores, all of which are rented. On the second floor there are a large dining room, parlors. kitchen and bed rooms, and the third floor Is entirely of bed rooms MT. Syd Cowan, formerly of Birmingham, conducts the hotel. The building rents for good sum. It is situated at the corner of Nineteenth street and Sec ond avenue, very central and desir- able location.
 Mr. Badham's purchase gives color to the rumors of great industrial de- velopments here, as he Is in position to know of them, and has given sub stantial evidence of his faith in Bes. semer's future.

DAVIDSON RETURNS
 FROM ASHEVILLE
He Tells the Reason Why Baptists Would Not Hear pr.
 Diaz.

The Rev. pr. A. c. Davidson of the southside Baptist church returned yes terday from Asheville N. C., where he attended the meeting of the Southern Baptists He stated that the meeting was largely attended and was one of the most enthusiastic and successful ever held by the association.
 "The report of the foreign mission board" said he, twas one of the best ever made. There has been a large increase of receipts for this work, and at the meet ing a number of young men were ac- cepted for work in foreign countries The report of the home mission board was also enthusiastic. It showed an increase in receipts and number of workers. The report of the educational committees showed many encouraging signs.
 ."The question of pr. Diaz's failure to secure hearing before the meeting att tracted much attention in the newspapers, but was hardly known in the convention. The whole matter dates back to the time when Dr. Diaz was working for the home missison board in Cuba. He got the af- Ia1rS very mucn IlAeu up III Nhe A@SA of the church bought shortly before the war and which was deeded to private in- dfviduals. This matter was discussed be- fore the board and we accepted its re- port. This showed that the trouble cost the church from $12,o0o to s15,O0o. There was no reason why we should hear from him, because what he would have sait I. might have led to further trouble In some way"
