 "The J. Rivers Carter, who is men tioned in the American's prerss dis patches from Washington as having been selected by the President to succeed Postmaster Hughes, removed at Bir- mingham, Ala, Is well known here, where he was born and reared, and where he has many friends and rela- lives.

He was wearing a Macintosh or an overcoat and in the dim light I saw him reach for his pistol. l knew he had it in for me, so l fired and fist him in the abdo- men, so they say. I do not know where the bullet struck him.

They found the empty whisky can strapped to his belt. At the preliminary hea%ng today the justice told me that the charge against me should not be 1aurder, for the evidence would not bear out such charge.
 "I had nothing against the fellow, and in fact loaned him money only recently, to keep him out of trouble, and also checks at the commissary."
 Coroner Paris started his Investigation yesterday, and was present when the preliminary hearing was held. He con sented to the amount of the bond. He has not completed the investigation, but states that it looks like self defense.

T. L. McGee, a watchman in the Tenn essee Coal, Iron and Railway company's plant at Adger, was shot and almost in- stantly killed Wednesday night by G. D. Nelson, chief deputy sheriff at that place.
 The remains of Melee were carried to Bessemer yesterday afternoon, and last night were sent to Tuscaloosa for inter- ment.

 "McGee had made threats that he would cause more trouble In Adger before o'clock last night than had ever been raised there before, and he also threaten ed to do away with me because l reported him before Christmas for not being in condition to work. He was under the influence of intoxicants last night and had already been arrested once before by one of the deputies. He gave that deputy trouble, and so when McGee raised

Frequently it has been said that game chicken fights because it has no better sense. A peep at some chickens of this class which live at the Alabama livery stable would soon knock any such ideas into cooked hat.
 Some time ago an old negro working at the livery stable was presented with beautiful game cock and two hens. These chickens came from a good fam fly of fighting record and have more sense than to fight. The old negro pre- pared a place on the second floor for them to roost and would allow them to roam around on the first floor during the day.
 Now the old negro decided to make his game chickens conversant with mod ern Improvements and he promptly gave the cock ride in the elevator. The

GAME CHICKENS RIDE UP
 AND DOWN ON ELEVATOR

cock soon taught this system to the hens and the family thereupon began to ride up and down instead of walking
 Later on some little chickens came along to bless the game cocks home and they also had to be taught. Early any morning or late in the afternoon you can see the chickens waiting for the elevator. If nobody is around when they want to go to roost the old cock crows loudly and the negro comes and opens the door. After getting on the elevator the old cock cluks to the hens and the little chickens until they are all on. The old negro then pulls the rope and the chicken family goes to roost The next morning the rooster goes to the elevator and crows again and the negro appears and they are taken down to the ground floor.
 This performance may be witnessed by anybody who cares to question the in- tellect of the old negro's pets.

Temple of Justice in "A.


 It first became temple of justice in to move the court house from Elyton to Birmingham. The court was moved in the fall of that year.
 Very few of those who participated in the first trial in Birmingham are living now. Judge Mudd has long since gone to his reward. and the late William A. Walker was the solicitor who prosecuted the first case. The clerk of the court was James Ware of Wares Grove.
 D. R. Dunlap, one of the oldest citizens of Birmingham, was foreman of the first grand jury empanneled in that building He was made foreman at the special re- quest of the solicitor, although he was one of the youngest men on the jury.
 MT. Dunlap said yesterday that he only remembered two of those who served on that jury with him, Charles J. Mar tin, clerk of the inferior court of Birmfng- ham today, and Richard Hudson. MT Brown has occupied the building prac- tically ever since the court moved out.
 Was Also Theatre.
 The old building also served as the the atre of Birmingham for some time. Many amateur theatricals were played in the building, and all the travelling shows per- formed there until the O'Brien opera house was erected.
 The building is to be replaced by a handsome four-story structure of steel and glass, to cost about $25,000, which will be occupied by the Burger Dry Goods company. The pitch of each story will be very high, and the building will be as tall as most fve-story buildings.
