 The prisoners are on the books as Robert Jones. alias TreadweII, alias Mo Clain. and Charles White, alias Barney Lewis.
 One night several weeks ago these men are said to have slipped into the town of Hamilton and broke open two safes. They got out of the town but were hotly pursued by two citizens, A man named Lunsford and one named Webb. These followed the fugitfyes until they were overtaken. being found lying on the ground asleep. The pur- suers picked out each his man and made dash. A hard struggle ensued and one of the alleged robbers broke and ran. He was shot in the leg bv one of the pursuers and both were cap tured.
 The men will now do five years each of servitude for the State.

A Gruesome Find.

Railroad men here made a gruesome find on a cari of coal which had just arrived from the Alabama fields. This was nothing more than the teeth and part of the jaw of a white man who had been recently ground to pieces, the railroaders believing that he had fallen under the train and a portion of sthe head having been thus thrown to the coal heap. There was no report made of the train crew of killing a man, and this Is about the only solution of the mystery.

 The regular monthly meeting of Camp Jeff Falkner, United Confeder- ate Veterans could not be held last night. A quorum of the members was not present and the meting had to be called off.

Railroad Man, We'll Known in Mont- gemery, Secures . Merited Pro- . motion--Wil1 he located
 in Memphis.

The appointment of Jack Cornatzar as Assistant General Passenger Agent of the Frisco System, was received in Montgomery with great deal of pleas ure.
 For some years Mir. Cornatzar was stationed in Montgomery as the South eastern Passenger Agent of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company. His at tractive personality, sunny disposition and thorough courtesy to everybody from the highest to the lowest, made for him numbers of sincere friends in Montgomery. The one trait that Is ab- solutely essential to the success of a traffic man--tactful adaptability--was developed in the Cornatzar makeup to very marked degree.
 From Montgomery he went with the Frisco System, representing that road as General Agent in Memphis. Tenn. The office of Assistant General Pas senger Agent was created to relieve the heavy pressure on General Passenger Agent A. Hilton.
 It is a distinct compliment to Mir Cornatzar to be elevated to one of the executive departments of the big Frisco System. His office will be in Memphis and the force now there will be enlarg- ed as he will have charge of all this ter ritory.

The Greek proprietor very readily exchanged good silver money for the note and did not discov- CT his mistake until this morning. when he started to count over his money. Then young Medlock was caught. There Is some question as to whether the boy can be punished for this of fense. since good lawyers say that the money cannot be classed as counterfeit and was not rendered with an intent in that direction. The case, at any rate. will be very interesting.

Failure of the English Jam Crop.

Alarming reports have reached the United
states by way of the English newspapers
and the agents of the Department of Com
merce and Labor. telling of the failure of
the British jam crop. Only those AmerI-
cans who have broken bread with the Eng
Nshman at his home can appreciate the
terrible significance of this tidings Only
such as these can understand why 1t is
that the dearth of this English breakfast
taoie necessity has succeeded the Ports
mouth conference in the press of sweet
toothed Albion as the great news feature of
the day. Only such Americans can know
the bitterness of the weeping and wailing
now heard in the households of King Ed
wards land.
In the course of long article dealing
with the scarcity of jam the London Mail
says, with proper expressions of sincere
grief that as result OF the generally
snort fruit crop this seasons jams will be
sold at an Increase of one or one and a
half cents pound. According to the Mail
the three great jam fruits Strawberries,
raspberries and black currants have all
peen partial failures from the boilers
point or view" Owing to the extreme heat
and the lack of rain during the strawberry
season that crop was very meager and the
manufacturers had to pay an advanced
price Tor their supplies. Thus jam will be
advanced one and a half cents a pound
Similar atmospheric conditions also re-
duced the bulk of the raspberry crop At
hrst' when the price was too high for Jam
making. the fruit was fairly plentiful, but
later conditions checked the crop develop
meut Black currants are costing the boil
ers 1925 a hundredweight or about 50 s7
more than last season. In most parts of
the country the plum crop is also poor.
1t Is confidently asserted by a recent
cable that prominent English jam maker
tainted when he read dispatch In an Eng
Iish newspaper that four hundred carloads
of prime Strawberries had been dumped
Into a river down in South Carolina be-
cause there were not enough cars at hand
to move them.
