FOR CAPTURE OF RABB
PURSE OF s4o0 FOR ARREST or
 YOUNG MAN.
He is Accused of Assembling Estfpkable Young Woman of Everwreeh. Crime Has Stirred South
 Alabama.

Governor Jelks yesterday acceded to the request of Solicitor F. c. Walker of Conecuh County and offered q reward Srrese and 9 dsyery .o i9n sheriff of Leslie Rabb, the young white man who Is charged with the revolting crime at Evergreen which resulted in member of highly respectable family living near that town.
 The reward is supplemented by a re- ward of S100 offered by a brother of the young woman and one of the same amount offered by the citixens of the community, making a total reward of
 In a letter from Solicitor Walker to the Governor requesting the offer of a reward was enclosed warrant sworn out for the arrest of Rabb by E. J. Mo % the yoaaT fugitive rss from with rape. Solicitor Walker assures the Governor that there Is great prob ability of Rabb's conviction If he Is ap-
 The terms of the Governors offer of $200 reward do not specify the county to whose sheriff the fugitive shall be nature of the crime the Governor foi- lowed the custom he has established of leaving the sheriff's name blank to whom the fugitive shall be delivered. The people of Evergreen and the whole of Conecuh County are said to be aroused over the assault of the young woman by Rabb as they have perhaps never been by any other crime. It Is feared that violent dealing would result if the young man was captured and sent to Evergreen.
 The news that the brother of Miss Barrow had contributed $100 to the price put on the head of young Rabb makes 1t fairly certain that the young woman has unfolded all the secrets of her deplorable adventure with Rabb in Evergreen. Few of the details have been made public, however, and count less rumors are circulated in South Alabama about the atrocity of the al- legged assault. It seems, from all avail able evidence, that Rabb's last engage ment with Miss Barrow was on Sunday night, August 20 This is believed to have been the date of the crime The woman preserved silence about the af- fair for a few days in order to avoid the ordeal of publicity.
 AS soon as the facts were known the citizens of Evergreen we're alternately stupefed and incensed. The report finally reached the office of Sheriff w, w. Pridgen and he immediately set out Tn search Of Rabb, who had been miss Ing from the community since inc night of the crime. He was traced to Montgomery. where he is believed to have spent day or two until advised by his friends to put himself out of reach of the officers in this part of the country. ' Sheriff Pridgen. as previously stated by The Advertiser, pursued the young man as far as Nashville, but bevond him. OA

 Why. when buying a book, are we Influenced by the authors name? Why by an artists. if we purchase a picture!
 Why do wise buyers insist upon hav- ing reliable name on nearly every thing they purchase
 It is because the nanfe attached is the safeguard of the buyer-a protection against the palming on of inferior ar- ticles.
 This name guarantee" we all look for in the most important things we buy. and what can be more important than our food
 Everybody knows that all intelligent housekeepers are very particular about the buying of things to eat and drink, and nobody realizes 1t more than the up-to-date grocer, who caters to the wants of his customers.
 For instance, every real grocer knows the reason for the universal popularity Of Lion Coffee, the leader of all pack age coffees. He knows that its uniform purity and high quality have made it welcome in millions of American homes Tor over quarter of century.
 heaIizing this, he cannot but hand 1t out cheerfully when asked for it. He knows that the people accept the pack age as guarantee of the contents.
 Yet there may be a few grocers left who do not recognize that the buyer not the seller-has the right of choice, and they want to sell their loose cof- fee (who knows what it is or where 1t came from?) instead of Lion Coffee, which the customer asks for. and the merits of which both know
 In such cases the wisest advice is: Change your dealer" adv.

SETBACK FOR COTTON
CoMsfrssfONER POOLE TALKS OF
 YIELD IN ALABAMA.
He Believes Unfav0rable Weather and Scarcity of Labor VIII Reduce Production One-Third of
 Last Year.

There has been so much wet weather that the growing cotton crop of Ala bama has been given an irreparabie set back.
 This is the opinion of Commissioner of Agriculture R. R. Poole, who has just returned from Southwest Alabama He ventured the opinion that the cot ton crop of Alabama will show a de- crease under that of last year of one third. He said his personal obserya- tions in that part of the State where he that there will be this percentage of decline in production, and that he be- lieved it would be fully as great in the aggregate for the whole State.
 The Commissioner ascribes the pro- spective short crop to two causes--lack of labor and inopportune wet weather Mir. Poole, as a natural consequence, believes the prices of this ytar's cotton will soar pretty high in spite of last years overproduction.
 Mr. Poole in assigning the causes of a decrease in this years cotton produc- tion and naming excessive rains and economic phase of the crop. He does not mean to ignore the Alabama branch of the Southern Cotton Association, one of whose purposes is to reduce acreage and limit production. He is confident that a material reduction of acreage has resulted Gn this State from preach ing acreage reduction, safe storage and intelligent marketing of the cotton
 The Commissioner has been absent from Montgomery about two weeks. ]. c. Adams, chief clerk of the department, is in Virginia on a yacation trip.

NV. l.. Henderson of Mobile Secures In-
 formation from State Agricui- turaI Department to Use
 at Northern Fairs.

Commissioner of Agriculture Robert R Poole returned yeterday from Southwest Alabama. and resumed work at his desk. Among his first callers was W. L. Henderson. of Mobile. of the Land and Industrial Department of the Southern Railway, who came to Mont- gomery to gather some facts and fig- ures to be used in an advertising cam paign for the benefit of the Southern States in the North and East.
 Sunday MT, Henderson will leave Mo- bile for Columbus, Ohio. where he will attend the Ohio State Fair. There he will be connected with the exhibit of the Southern Railway and will distrib- uts circulars. containing descriptions of the farm products and resources of the Southern States. He said yesterday that his company would have the finest exhibit at Columbus that 1t had ever sent anywhere in the past.
 Mir. Henderson will attend most of the Northern and Eastern State Fairs this fall, and says the Southern Rail way will send its exhibit to all of them. The .0hJeet of the advertising of Ala Ebama and the other States of the South 3is to induce profitable and choice im- migration to come to Alabama. "e i Commissioner Poole assured Mir. Hen { 1erson that his Department would rem I, ser him all the assistance in its power.
 Mr H4 fhs Was Rs tfvith Information of the number of far n SIands in Alabama, the number of de- HeIcped and undevelope1 acres and oth- CT figures spelling the vast possibilities open to industrious people who desire to locate in this State. For instance, there are approximately 20.000,000 acres of farm lands in Alabama and of this number only about S,000,000 acres are developed farming lands.
 MT Henderson left Montgomery last a.S~ Er.. Gn1w, xryho ho xzyf1l Esn n Mobile. He said that he had just learn ed of the intention of NJ. V. Richards.
