DECO TRIAL POSTPONED.
Absence of Material Witnesses In
 Gadsden Causes Delay.

Gadsden, November 9-(Special.) )-The cases of the state vs. Yolanda Degg, Hazel Dean and Will Hasson, who are charged with the murder and complicity In the murder of Aubrey Womack, the young saloonkeeper, who was killed in the last few months of 1904, were called in the city court and again postponed, this time at the instance of the state solicitor. who was unable to proceed to trial on ac- count of the absence of material wit nesses.
 Peleg Watts, a young man who was with Womack up to a few moments be- fore he was shot, and Cleo Moore, Aan inmate of the house. both of whom are the main witnesses for the state. were absent, and hence the case was continued until the next term of the court The case was put off six months ago on account of the fact that in serving copy Of the original indictment on the attorneys of the defendant the name Degg was spelled with an "s'. making it Deggs instead of Degg. This failed to comply with the law and the case was postponed.

WILL CUNNINGHAM RETIRE7

From the Montgomery Journal.
 There may be nothing in the Journal. special from Birmingham, published las Saturday that Dr. Cunningham may retire from the race for governor and that for mer Governor Johnston will enter the contest as a conservative candidate. The special did not say that such thing was certain, but 1t said that 1t seemed pos- sible in the near future. The special was mere speculation upon the situation. It pointed to what some people were say ing, what some people were talking about, and what some people believed probable and possible in certain contingencies.
 The Journal has no idea that pr. Cum ningham will retire from the race. The doctor has an ambition, and a most laud- state. He accepted the tail end of the Jelks' kite four years ago expecting to be promoted to the governorship when Jelks' term expired. He had not expected since arisen. He would be a greatly dis- appointed man If he should fail of elec- tion as governor. To come down in the midst of the campaign, to admit his weak ness at this stage of the proceedings, at the very opening of tho fight, wculd be somewhat humiliating to him, and it Is barely possible, even though he may real ize that defeat is certain. or that vic- tory is doubtful, he will continue to the end, let the result be what it may.

Many False Reports.

Policemen do not believe more than one-third of the reported highway rob berries in Birmingham, said a member of the police department yesterday. "We have been deceived so often that we have naturally become very slow about believ- ing a man when he reports that he has been held up and relieved of money.
 "Of course there are times when we readily believe a man and there are many men whom we would believe no matter how strange the story they might tell. But we do not believe the majority of the men who tell Us of being halted and commanded to give up your money or your life!
 ''I know that full one-half of the re- ports are untrue. I have investigated many of them and I generally find that the man wno reports that he has been robbed has really lost his money In some place where gambling of some kind can be indnlged In.
 Recently a man reported that he was robbed l began looking up his record and found that he had been shooting craps with a party of friends at the resi- dence of one of the members of the party. He, told a pretty straight story about the robbery and was very indignant when told him what l had discovered. He said that I was telling an untruth and that he had not been shooting craps l bluffed him little and told him that a member of tho party had confessed all to me. Fiji nally the fellow broke down and admitted that he had not been robbed.
 Tt is a reflection on the city for men to report hod-ups that have not oc- cured. The city has to stand responsible for enough lawless deeds without hav- ing a large number of false statements circulated regarding hold-ups in the city. There are enough real hold-ups without people reporting fakes in order to protect themselves In a measure these false re- ports are responsible for Birmingham getting the name of Bad Birmingham! think that there is a way to stop these false reports. When we discover that a man has made a false report we should see that his name Is published in all the newspapers, and that all the facts are made known to the public. That would prevent other men making false re- ports"

Ereinht conuesiian.

The car shortage of 1903 caused the enced in this country, and from the complaints of shippers heard now in every part of the United States, the car situation Is going to be as bad as 1t was two years ago, If not worse.
 The enormous crops and general prosperity easily account for the ex- cessivc demand for cars. but the trans portaton companies should have prof ited by the experience of 1903 and lost no time In placing orders for rolling stock ample to handle all the freight that might offer. The railroads have spent millions on new equipment, but so rapidly is the volume of business increasing that even the most fore sighted did not see what was coming.
 It is too late to expect much relief from car shortage this winter; but the railroad companies should begin now to order cars for heavy business year hence, for should the country be blessed with bountiful harvests again next summer transportation facilities will be overtaxed. unless rolling stock is greatly increased. Prosperity has come with such a rush and has such staying qualities, that no one has been quite prepared to reap all the benefits. The railroads can, however, relieve the congestion to some extent, even nov, if they will keep the car tracer well up to his work.

Why, here's a change indeed In the commonwealth!
 Measure for Measure.
Tn anksqivin q Day.

Today will be considered by many the most enjoyable of the whole year. It is day of home comforts and quiet pleasures-a time when old and young gather about the dinner table with live ly anticipations of the coming feast and no thought of the after-effects. The country Is rolling in wealth and thanksgiving will be observed in it's Iroper spirit.
 Thanksgiving Day is an annual re- ligious festival dating from the first settlement of the Pilgrims in New Eng land and observed in the New England states from that day to this. In 1921 Governor Bradford of Plymouth colony set aside day for public praise and prayer after the first harvest had been gathered. A picturesque scene was presented to view when sturdy and pious forefathers gathered to pay simple tribute to the Creator who had watched oyer them in the new world and had protected them from savage marauders. The gratitude in their hearts was no doubt far greater than it is in our hearts today, although the humble blessings which they enjoyed then are not to be compared with the luxuries we now have on every side.
 During the Revolutionary war the spread to several of the middle states and since then has been taken up by practically every state in the union. Thanksgiving Day became a national institution in 1863.

Technical Education.

Ten years ago the south was far be- hind the north in point of technical edu- cation, and while it has not yet caught up with the older industrial section In this respect, marked progress has been made. Many of the men best equipped for directing the mechanical work in great industries are now found In the south. A large percentage of them have graduated in technological insti- tutions of high rank and not few of them have combined manual training with book knowledge.
 The demand for technically trained men is increasing rapidly, and the young men of the south are not tagging behind. On the other hand, they see their opportunity and are working hard to equip themselves. Scores of young men who have graduated at college with high honors are working in over alls as apprentices. Some are firemen on locomotives, some are working in mines, some at blast furnaces, some In steel mills, rolling mills, foundries and machine shops. In this way they get practical knowledge of some spe- cial line of industry and learn to apply their education.
 The trusts may have made it diff cult for small firms with limited eapi- tai to contend with sweeping competi- tion and given the pessimists a theme for talk; but in this era of prosperity the croakers have taken a back seat and they will not be heard again soon.
 This is the golden age for young men of brains and pluck. Within the next ten years the number of southern men earning s5000 salaries will exceed five to one the men who commanded S1500 salaries ten years ago, and the s25,000 men will be frequently in evil dence. Money should not be man s chief object in life, and as a rule 1t is not; but high salaries for technically trained men furnish unmistakable proof of ones merit. The engineer-civil, mechanical, electrical, or mining-who draws a big salary Is the man who is able to do something of high value.

Human Interest In Advertising.

'I intend to write a story for tine adver- Using journals with especial reference to the injection of human interest into bank advertising" said John Sparrow last night, and I will cite as an illustration the phe- nomenal record made by the American Trust and Savings bank whose advertise ments have always been full of personal interest, especially those in the little cam paign which 1t has been conducting for the past three weeks.
 "The campaign was planned to extend until January 1, the object being to in- crease the deposits to $30O0,0Oo but it came to an end Tuesday night when the bank crossed the line thirty-three days ahead of time and with over $32,0O0 to spare
 "The advertising frankly appealed to the friends of the bank to assist the officers and directors in building up the deposits to the mark fixed, and the response was a magnificent demonstration of the popu- larity of the institution and it's officers and directors. No advertising of any kind has probably excited more interest in this city and state. The campaign was planned and executed by the officers of the bank, and breathed the spirit of vigor and origl- nality which characterizes their methods. The public cares very little for savings maxms or homllies on saving but the movement of hustler will always catch its eyes If there were moro bank ad- vertIsing of this kind results would be larger"

h Fightinq Governor.

Governor Davis of Arkansas has earned the reputation of being the south's most belligerent state execu- tive. Since 1902 he has figured In eight sensational incidents, several of them fist fights and personal encounters Last Sunday night Governor Davis was severely punished in a fight with for mer Representative Hugh A. Dinsmore of Fayetteville. Accounts of the battle differ. MT. Davis claims that he was set upon by Dinsmore and a friend and that his life was threatened An other account says that Dinsmore chased the governor around, but re- trained from firing his pistol. although urged to do so by friends. At any rate, Governor Davis was sadly battered and numerous stitches were necessary to repair his scalp.
 The affray last Sunday night at Fayetteville seems to have been one of the most exciting that has engaged the attention of MT. Davis since he stepped into the white light of public ity, but it is by no means his only ex- perience of the kind. According to a summary of his simple life" made by the New York World, Governor Davis has been participant in the following encounters:
 August 15, 1902, fist fight with the republican candidate for governor, M H. Myers. at Saloon Springs; August 26, 1903, fight with Justice Carroll D. Wood. who knocked him off the speak CTS stand at Bismarck. Ark; October 10, 1903, was called a "contemptble liar" by A. F.

Warm Political Race.

T predict that there will be warm and closely contested race for sheriff of Jefferson county" said man at the court house yesterday.
 T know that at least ten men will en- ter the race, but how many will stay until the stretch Is reached is another question. 1 believe that at least half a dozen of the candidates will remain un- til the end unless 1t becomes evident that some one candidate Is going to make q runaway race.
 T do not think there will be any mud singing in the race, and l hope that it will be conducted on a high plane. Sev- eral pf the candidates ale already run ming hard especially in the country dis trcts. I believe that the man who can split even in the cities and towns and carry the country vote will be elected
