 Robert N. Bell closed for the petitioner, and grew eloquent in the citation Of cases to show that the death penalty was never inflicted on men who avenge the honor of sister He said that the de- fense wanted to argue the case primarily on the constitution which brought out the fact that unless the proof were evident and the presumption great that the de- fendant was guilty of the oTense charged in the degree punishable capitally, ball could not be NNsied. He also read from the case ex parte Talley in the 1o2nd Ala bama.
 The court then said that he would render his judgment without giving his reasons as they might have some effect on the future trial of the case. He ruled that the defendant was entitled to bali and asked the attorneys if they could agree as to the amount. After confer ence they announced that sl0o0o would be satisfactory to both sides, and the court stated that he would not have made it less.
 The state then excepted to the Judg- ment and gave notice of an appeal, and asked suspension of the judgment pend- ing the result of such appeal Fifteen days were given in which to file bill of exceptions,

GOSSIP ABOUT THE UNION
 AND MINING IN GENERAL

a mining and industrial community. One of the ways by which this position can be perpetuated is by training the next gen. eration in all the modern improvements and discoveries in this line. Are we Ala bamians going to sit down and let our richest heritage pass from us? Are we going to make over to strangers all the conduct of all our great industries? When will the day arrive when we can take care of the growth and progress of our own? Year after year we sit still and watch our universities turning out 8 horde of lawyers and other professional men, and hardly a mechanical or min ing engineer The situation reminds me of a story. At the battle of Antietam an Irishman was badly wounded in the leg, and, after being carried to the hospital on the field, the usual method pursued was of course, to cut the leg off in or der to save the mans life. As the doc- tors had him laid out on the operating table, the Irishman looked up at them and said, Doctors, be very careful of that leg, it is an important one" They were so tickled that they resolved to save the mans life and leg, and did so.
 We import our talents, and pay great big salaries, while our own boys have very little chance to fill these positions. Whose fault is it? Certainly not theirs.
 The perfection of production is not brought about by capital alone. Time and patience are the controlling factors. If the next generation is expected to fill this valley up with busy population, sup ported by hundred different industries, then the present generation must lay the foundation right now. Why can't we own and control our own industries? We believe that if we didn't tie up so much l.. aaI aGfat Ia av46 rV, atrf siders to make this valuable, our produc- tive industries could belong to us, and their earnings be kept at home. If not why not?

Talking with one of the coal miners of this district upon the subject of mining and mines in general, the old gentleman enlarged upon the rise and fall of the great organizations of labor in this coun- try, and stated that in his opinion the cause why so many of them had their period of inception, zenith, and final dis appearance was the fact that their pow CT was largely wielded in one direction only and that was to push the price of labor to the highest possible point, re- gardless of conditions or the individual, and that they forgot that in all great as- sociations permanency only came from doing good; and, the old gentleman went on to say, that for many years he had stood by his organization, and that when he had reached a point where he should take 1t easy and rest, the organization had no further use for him, and in no manner contributed to his well-being or support, and that when he died there was no insurance or provision by which his family would 1e pencntted After a long life spent in devotion to his organ ization, he was turned out in his old age, helpless and forgotten. The absolute truthfulness and pathetic earnestness of the old man set me to thinking. Why don't the labor organizations provide for their members, and the families of their members? If they propose to say what a man shall work for, then they should take care of him in his old age as part of the price of surrender on his part of his personal liberty in the matter of la bor. As a strong believer in the value of the trade union principle, I would like to see the unions put themselves into a position where their power would be ex- ercised for the benefit of the individual who had stood by them in the best years of his life.

 Young Breaks Down.

 Dr. Jim Young, who was arrested at Boaz at the same time that George Wind sor was captured at Carlisle, was ar raigned before United States Commis- sioner Edwin Pickard yesterday after noon on the charge of counterfeiting. He entered a plea of not guilty, and af- ter a number of witnesses were intro duced, he saw that the game was up and he broke down. Young was bound over in the sum of s2000 to await the action of the federal grand jury and was placed in the county jail He and Windsor are alleged to have run a counterfeiting joint in this county on a large scale. Scores of people were victimized by them, and it was a difficult matter to land them behind the bars.
 The two-months-old son of Mrs. Bob Baker of Avondale died at one of the To- cal boarding houses yesterday at noon. Mrs, Baker came here several days ago with the intention, she says. of going to the home of an uncle, named Lockett, who lives somewhere in the county. Her child was i'll and she stopped here to have 1t looked after and to inquire her way to Lockett's house.
