CORONER LOOKS INTO
 PERRYMAN'S DEATH
THE FLAGMAN KILLED ON SOUTH ERIN WAS BRUISED ON HEAD. CAME HERE FROM DADEVILLE, ALA.

Mystery surrounds the death of J. J. Perryman, a flagman of the Southern railway. who was picked up in an uncon- scious condition near the tracks at Rail and removed to Copeland & Berrys in- firmary on Fourth avenue, where he died two hours later.
 Coroner W. D. Paris made an investiga- ton yesterday afternoon but found no one who could tell anything about how Perryman was hurt All that could be learned was that he was discovered near the tracks Monday night by A. G. billiard, who is also an employe of the Southern. and that he was badly injured about the head and body. One of his legs had been cut off, evidently by a train, but the coroner could not determine how he re- ceived the blow on the head.
 When Perryman was first discovered an ambulance was called and he was rushed to the infirmary. He suffered intense pain until death relieved him about 10 o'clock. The body was removed to the undertaking establishment of Lige Loy, where it was prepared for burial. It will be sent today to Dadevile for interment
 Perryman has been employed as flag man for a number of years He was a widower and resided with some of his rel atives on First avenue. His early home was in Dadevlle. Besides relatives al this place he is survived by a son, B. P Per ryman, and two daughters. Mrs. W. B.. Reed and Miss Aria Perrymah of this oiYt,

THE HIGHLAND
 BAKERY DISPLAY
RECEIVES HIGH PRAISE AT STATE
 FAIR-ExcELLENCE OF MALT AND MILK" BREAD RECOGNIZED.

The richest possession in the world is health. A millionaire with broken con stitution is poorer than the veriest paul per. A man who is merely poor may ac- quire wealth, but if he hasn't sound di- gestive organs he's not apt to be happy or to achieve much in this strenuous cen tury.
 The recognition of those facts started the "pure-food' movement which has engaged the attention of thoughtful citi- zens, medical societies and legislative bodies throughout the country.
 The pure-food exhibits at the State fair evidence the interest the people of this community have In their food products.
 Undoubtedly the most important article of diet is bread-the staff that supports existence-and the display of the High land Bakery has attracted more hearty enconiums than perhaps any other ex- hibit at the fair. Their booth is artistical- ly fitted up and bakery products of every variety are shown. The display is under the supervision of Mrs. William r. Fish. Especial attention Is given to the re- nowned Malt and Milk" bread The Highland Bakery is the only bakery mak- ing genuine malt and milk, full 16-ounce, loaves of bread. Every pone of the genu- inc malt and milk bread bears the label of the Highland bakery. This label Is guarantee to the consumer that each loaf weighs full 16 ounces; that its ingredients are the purest and most nourishing in the world, and that it is scientifically con cocted and baked. The points the house. keeper should remember in buying bread are that malt and milk bread is recog- nized by the highest authorities as the very purest food product procurable and that 1t is larger than many loaves sold for cents. The retail price for malt and milk bread Is cents-never more never less. Dealers have to pay cents This leaves a profit of 1 cent So after all 1t is not unnatural that some dealers should insist upon their customers using some other bread they can sell for nickel and make 2 cents profit.
 But there is no bread so nourlshing as malt and milk. and there Is no other bread in Birmingham bearing a registered label guaranteeing 16 ounces and purity The Highland Bakery has built up an un- usually flourishing business So success full have they been with their business conducted on basis of Square deal' and 16 ounces and purity for everybody that they have served the most exacting custom in the community satisfactorily; have had the qualification of seeing the merits of their celebrated breads extend broadcast over the district.
 The bakery Is glad to have visitors in- spect the plant at 523 and 525 South Twen- tieth street. Thoroughly modern equip ment Is used. Scrupulous cleanliness is observed in every department
 Cakes, pies and everything cooked at bakery besides the malt and milk'' bread, is sent out by the bakery's wagons daily.

Mayor Egbert Seymour. of Bayonne,
who IS prominent aspirant for the
Shrievalty nomination, had the advan-
tage Of John J. Heayey in being a mem
Der Of the Committee and thus allowed

appears to be the choice of the regular
organization. Mr.. Seymour announced
his candidacy and appealed to the com
Initsee for support. He said he was the

Committee and added that. Baxonne had
never been represented by a sheriff and
it was entitled to such consideration

kation and appealed to the Committee for
Hsupport He said be had been around a
Ngood deal since his name was first prom
7inently mentioned in connection with the

pulse and was satisfied that there was
decidedly strong sentiment in favor of
his nomination, especially among business
men.

NOR proved to be unfounded. The Tenth

tion. Patrick Rodgers's name was men
toned, but he withdrew in favor Of Mr..
Kelly. Theirs were the only two names

Mr. Davis had been consulted by Mr..
Kelly's friends and Mr. Kelly understood
that Mr.. Davis said he had no objection
to the Tenth Ward Club endorsing Mr..
Kelly as its choice for the nomination;
that the race was open to all until after
the primaries.
