ham of Daleville, one of the most prominent citizens, is his brother.
 A number of years ago Sam Wind- ham married Miss Nora Milligan. daughter of the late Dr. A. l.. Mtili- gan, who possessed handsome for tune in her own right. They at one time lived in Dothan, at another tbSy built a handsome residence at Abbe- vile and furnished 1t sumptuously. In the course of time the family was re- duced to almost want.
 About five years ago MT. Windham deserted his wife and two children and went to California. After he had been in Los Angeles for couple of years he professed conversion to religion and to have had a call to the minls- try. He wrote letters to his wife and induced her to go 10 California, but on her arrival there she found him in no better condition than he had been In while in Alabama. She then came back hero and set herself to the task of supporting their two children, and sought and obtained a divorce from her husband.
 In the early part of this week he wrote a prominent citizen in this city that he was again to be married to his divorced wife at the Methodist Church here by Rev. Sam P. Jones and invit- ing him and his family to attend the ceremony. He also telegraphed Joseph H. Adams, editor of The Southern Star. to put a notice in his paper to the same effect. But when MT. Adams in- quired of some of the family he learned that there was nothing in the request and he did not insert 1t in his paper.
 Inquiry today reveals the fact that MT. Windhalu was considered of un- sound mind prior to going to Califor- mia, and there is general expression of regret That he now gives evidence of mental alteration.

SHIPPING STRAWBERRIES.
First Consignment Leaves Cullman for
 Birmingham.

Cullman, April 21.-(special )-rhe first shipment of strawberries from this place this season was made yes terday. They were handled by J. ID. searcy, shipping clerk to the German Farmers Strawberry Association ana consigned to Douglass Bros. Birmins- ham. The berries were of very me variety. large and of very delicious flavor. which is generally character istic with the Cullman berry.
 The strawberry culture of Cullman County has been for years very Ia mons and the success and thriftiness of the different varieties have been so great in this climate that each suc- ceedIng year has added largely to the acreage, until now strawberries cover about 250 acres of this mountain soil that was once counted absolutely worthless by even the average Ala bamian.
 The German Farmers Association. which was organized several years ago, which has gradually grown from membership of ten or fifteen to 15O, Is largely responsible for the successful culture of this luscious fruit, and the Steadv increase of the acreage. It also has very systematic mode of hand ling the berry. The crop will not be near so large this season as was ex- nected owing to the recent cold wave. Tbe yield will be cut about one-third, hut from now on the market will be amply supplied with the famous Gull man strawberry.

A NOTABLE EVENT.

The Rome Coming Week exercises
at Shelby, August 10th, 18th and 18th,
will bring to that progressive town u
gathering of home folks who have no
superiors in North Carolina and of
native sons, who have won high place
in the big world. The population Of
Cleveland is of a high type. The people
have made great progress in agricul-
ture, in education, in industrial affairs
and they illustrate patriotism that
is indigenous to the soil.
In order that the coming visitor
may understand the progress of
Shelby, the enterprising citizens of
that town have printed a handsomely
illustrated pamphlet "Glimpses Of
Shelby" an interesting story of Shelby
having been written by Mr.. Thos. j..
Gold, of the Shelby bar. The work is
we'll done and the publication will
help in the continued peogress, of
that Cleveland County town.

A STRIKING TRIBUTE.

No greater preacher than Rev.
Charles F. Deems has been heard in
North Carolina. The memory of his
big sermons remains with many older
people who remain among us. In a
letter in the Raleigh Christian Advo-
cate this week, Rev. e. A. Wright
quotes this lovely tribute by citizen
of Goshan Swamp, at the conclusion
of great revival, conducted by DR..
Deems and DR.. Reid when three hum
dred people were converted
Lewis Coswell. one of the brainest
men who attended these meetings. re-
marked, in my hearing one day, in
conversation with "a number of gentle
men using this language: 1 could
walk ten miles through scorching
sun, and through a swamp teeming
with snakes and alligatorS, and
sWarming with mosquitoes, even If it
We're as wide and mirey as the Missis-
sippi River Valley, to listen to DIR.
Deems. He is, in my opinion, the
most eloquent man and highly polish
ed orator in all our Southland.
Would many men these days walk
ten miles, through scorching sun,
and through swamp teeming with
snakes and alligators, and swarming
with mosquitoes" to hear any living
preacher? But we must not forget
that then the people did not know
that the mosquito was the carrier
of fever germs.

SHUT UP JUSTICE SHOPS.

There is serious need in North Car
DINA of a better system of magistrates
courts. In too many towns there are
magistrates who set up shop like a
man "opens a grocery store and where
Injustice instead of justice is meted
out In some of them men who have
violated the law are permitted to slip
in and submit upon the payment OF
a penny and costs" and nobody ever
hears of the violation. That sort of
thing must stop. Some days ago, at
ter a magistrate had discharged a
case of that sort, City Attorney Snow
spoke in plain terms of denunciation
of that course.
In Raleigh there are something IKE
twenty magistrates most of whom do
not serve AS a matter of fact, there
ought not to be a single magistrate In
Raleigh but all infractions of the law
should be heard before a City Judge,
learned in the law. whose court would
be as important and as much respect
ed as a Superior court.
