HANGING IN LUVERNE,
George Richardson Went to Gibbet for
 Murder and Rage.

LuVerne, Oct. 19.-(Special .)-Today y at noon Sheriff w. L. Tatum cut the rope that sent the soul of George Rich ardson into eternity for one of the most atrocious crimes ever committed in this county, that of rape and mur- der on the same person and the Yer dict was rendered by twelve of Cren- shaw's best citizens.
 Sheriff Tatum fully complied with the law in capital punishment and without doubt this defendant had the most complete legal hanging ever giv- en to any criminal within the State of Alabama.
 Sheriff Tatum's reputation for fully complying with the law prevented the great crowd that usually come to town on such occasions.
 Tatum had very few special bailiFs as he did not anticipate any trouble at the place of execution, He used his regular deputy, W. J. Baxter. with d few other bailiffS.

 and N. At Linden.

Demopolis, Oct. 19.-(Special. ---Sev- eral enthusiastic railroad meetings have recently been held in this city, but the proceedings were withheld from the press until this week when a largely attended meeting was held. and some definite steps were taken looking to the construction of the coveted De- mopolis and Linden Railroad.
 Several days ago Captain Abbott of Selma came to this city in the in- terest of the proposed road. and while here was driven over the city and visi- ted the various industrial plants in op- eration here, the magnitude of which impressed him deeply.
 An informal meeting was held in the office of Henry McDaniel. the local representative of the proposed road. and Captain Abbott met number of the prominent business men of the city. including Mayor Ely and several merl- bers of the city council. After thorough discussion of the needs of the road and the benefits De- mopolis would derive from its con- struction. those present at the meeting requested Captain Abbott to submit. in writing, just what would be expect ed of Demopolic in order to secure the road.
 Captain Abbott said he would be de- lighted to do this. but would have to first consult with his associates. and formulate a proposition agreeable to all and fair and liberal to Demopolis. At second meeting held yesterday | in MT McDaniers office Captain Abbott submitted 0 proposition, which. In substance. is as follows:
 That the city of Demopolis grant | the road all the necessary rights and | privileges over and along the streets and that the citizens raise the sun
 of s25.000.
 l Under the proposition, no subscrip-
 tions are to be paid until the road is l built and put in operation. and nc
 person is to be liable for any portion | of the said $25.000 except the amount
 subscribed for by him. All rights ant

Baltimore, Oct. 19-(SpeciaL)- Among the facts of steady Southern progress noted in this weeks issue of The Manufacturers Record. Is the in- crease in the value of bread-stuffs ex- ported from Southern ports in compar- ison with those exported from other ports Of the country.

 This trend to Southern ports follows activity in railroad construction toward facilities. The application by the Sea board Air Line Railway for franchise to enter Chadles, $.

Work Is to begin this fall upno county Rsrend sftend,0n from ha hvinsston Tenn. to Burnsvlle. Ky, giving con- nections with the Queen and Crescent Route and with the Southern Railway.
 The extension will penetrate one of the richest sections of the South. abounding in virgin forests. mostly oak and poplar. and for twenty miles Will run below a 6-foot Finch coal vein that will be mined from the mountain side by drift. It will extend through the Kentucky Tennessee oil field and for some miles will parallel the pipe inc extending from Pickett County, Tenn,
 The various divisions of the Kentuc- kyTennessee fields show some good results from the past few weeks work. oil have been made in the. past two weeks, the best doing fifty barrels. In Wolfe County. Ky, in the same time. there were seven strikes averaging and Knott Counties. West Virginia, operators are at work. and in Barren County, Louisville operators are test ing. Thousands of dollars are being expended weekly in test drilling in number of counties.
 promising lead has been gotten in Lee County, wher two oilers and gasser have been drilled. About a dozen Ohio River counties are centres of prospecting. In Tennessee an as- sociation ofJ ellico capitalists Is meet ing with success in prospecting in the Elk Valley, and in Dixon County, Chi cage operators have gotten such a fair production from test drilling tat they will establish a small refinery.

result Of a defective sink and a
frozen water pipe. without
stopping TO start fires or think
much about how things happen.

gan the work Of baling out the

ter. We havn't carried as much
water in buckets for years. The
wet paper we rolled up and
stuck in the stove after we got
the fire started. The principal
damage we suffered was the wear
