be that as it may, such people, when
in addition to this admirable trait,

NEW THEORY FORMED
MISS ROBERTS NOT MURDERED BY
 ROBBERS.
Now Believed That Young Man Who Was Seen With Her Monday Evening Made the Attack
 Upon Her.

Anniston, Sept. 17-(Special.) )-The death of Mss Bessie Roberts Is now involved in deeper mystery than ever.
 All along 1t has been thought that the young woman was murdered for robbery, but with the finding of her purse and rings it seems that robbery was not the intent of the murderer. The purse was found Tuesday morn ing by a negro boy in an alley in the rear of the dwelling under which the wounded young woman was discovered, and this came in possession of the police today along with the rings she wore.
 The rings had been in the possession of a negress who assisted in bathing Miss Roberts when she was carried to the city hall. It was thought till now that some negro knocked her down and took her purse and rings and then concealed her body in the back yard of the empty dwelling and that she crawl ed under the dwelling when in a semi- conscious condition.
 It has developed today that a negress say the young woman and an apparent ly drunken man three blocks from the place where the body was found. This was Monday evening, and the police fol- lowed the. course over which she was thought to have passed and found many who saw the couple about the timo the negress saw her.
 The negress was thoroughly examin ed regarding the dress of the young woman, and was carried to the bier and there she identified the young wo- man as the one she saw. Other cloth ing was shown her, but the instant she saw that worn by Miss Roberts on the fatal day she recognized it. The funeral of the young woman oc- cured today. Her death came yes- terday from pneumonia caused by the exposure.
 It Is thought now that Miss Roberts quarreled with some lover and he beat her while in drunken condition. She was found in an unconscious condi- tion after being missed three days and nights

 Colonel Brown congratulated the people of Alabama that the Repubh- can party had removed the cotton mills to the cotton fields. He denied that there was a Democratic party. He said that 1t was claimed that the party was organized by Thomas Jefferson. If Jefferson was living, he said, ne would not recognize the principles of the so-called Democratic party.
 Then Colonel Brown with grace, force and eloquence traced the history of both of the dominant partie of the country.
 He spoke one hour and a half most of his time being given to an explana- tion of the operation of a protective tariff.
