One Of the largest crowds ever seen
at the river thronged the mill pond and
Asher creek all of New Years day. en-
joying the skating, which was good, es-
pecially early in the day. The river and
creek where the ice has been harvested
are again frozen to the thickness of
nearly two inches. making better skat-
ing. and h crowd OF skaters numbered
from 500 to LOCO all day long. Every
freezing night adds to the thickness of
the new ice, and consequently to the
safety Of those who indulge in this ex-
hilarating pastime.

Charged With Being implicated In the
 Death of a Woman.

Will Green and Rabbit Williams. both colored have been arrested, charged with being implicated in the death of Rhena Nevels negro woman who died at Ems ley Thursday at midnight from a pistol shot wound in the abdomen.

The statement given by the defendants is that all three were in the back part of Wrens saloon when Williams, who had a pistol. handed it across the counter to Green, who dropped 1t accidentally, and the pistol fell to the floor, striking on the hammer, which discharged 1t. The ball ranged upwards, and passing through the counter, struck the woman in the abdomen. She died in a few moments.
 Rabbit Williams was fined $100 yester- day by Mayor Scott of Ensley for carry ing concealed weapons.

TO GRANT INCREASED PAY
 BUT NOT SHORTER HOURS

carpenters working on buildings the present scale of wages to remain fin effect. and that contractors have the option of employing a union or non-union fore man."
 The meeting was well attended and the session, which was executive, lasted un- til nearly midnight. The next meeting of the association will be held at Turn Ve- rein hall Tuesday night, April %.
 Carpenters are now getting 90 cents an hour for a nine-hour day. It is seen that If they accept the first proposition the maximum pay will be s515, being 45 certs a day more than they are now making But if they choose the other proposition their pay would be $2.4o for eight hours work.
 As the painters are employed by sub- contractors the question of painters wages was not taken up by the associa- tion. The present wage is 271z cents an hour for a nine-hour day. and the demand Is for 8 cents an hour for an eight-hour day.
 The briellayeIs are not demanding more per hour tut they demand an eight hour day. As their year does not be- gin until June the demand went over for future consideration.
 It is understood that ore of the points much discussed and insisted on last night was the grading of carpenters One of the officers remarked after the meeting that no contractor would begrudge inc maximum of 35 cents for workers graded as first class.
 As if he thought the carpenters would accept the association's proposition or propositions. a member of the executive board sad he hoped so, but he had no information on the subject. The express sion of thoss who were disposed to talk said the association only object was to deaf fairy with employees and at the same time protect It's members.

CONTRACT
 FOR DIGGING WELL
Board of Revenue to First Get Water Supply ard May Then Build
 Light Plant.

The Board of Revenue has awarded the contract for digging a well in the court house grounds to J. o. Heflin & Co. at the sum of. s11 per day for each days work of twelve hours. There were severai bids. but after considering the matter this was decided to be the most advantageous to the county
 The next step will be the building of an electric light plant This will not be commenced until the well is finished, for unless an ample supply of water is ob- tained the electric light plant could not be operated successfully.
 In the past year the electric light bill of the county for the courthouse and jail has averaged s2o2 a month and the water bill has averaged s1o5 a month making q total cost for light and water of sS6S4. The board thinks that an electric light plant and well will at this Saving more than pay for itself in a year or two.
