ACT OF A JEALOUS NEGRO

Ensley. March 24.-(Special.) -Mayor
Sugg will have busy day tomorrow. Up
to o'clock tonight more than fifty cases
had been docketed by the police.
The officers are on the alert for law
breakers, and the crowded condition at
the city jail is evidence that they have
been doing some good work. A majority
of the cases docketed are for drunk ana
disorderly conduct, while a few are for
carrying concealed weapons. A number
of arrests have been made for Sunday
gaming.
"A warning has been sounded to the
Migrants in the town, and unless they
wish to help improve the streets and
board awhile at Hotel de Jug they had
better vamous,' said Officer Wren today
"rhere is no excuse for their not having
employment, for labor is in demand at all
the industrial plants, and il they will not
go to work at some of thees places then
they will have to leave town or be forced
to work for the city. Our instructions
are to make a clean sweep, as we know
that by Kidding the town or the Migrants
much lawlessness will be broken up.
This warning applies to male and
female, and the negro women who cannot
show where they have permanent en-
ployment will be dealt with in a similar
manner as the NEIL"

Tries to Play bad Actor"

Dave Strickland became jealous when
he saw another negro sitting on the porch
with woman acquaintance, and procur-
ing a stick of dynamite he tried to put
them out of business by throwing it I'M
der the porch. The desired results were
not obtained, however, as the force of
the explosion went downward, and further
than SCATTERING most of the windows in
the house no damage was done.
Not satisfied, Strickland goes to his
house and procures double barreled
shotgun. loads 1t with buck shot, and
returning he fires both barrels at his in
tended victims. 1t being dark his aim
was bad and he missed his mark. He
deliberately goes back TO his home and
reloads the gun. In the meantime ex-
element was at a high pitch in the
Semet-Solvay quarters, where all this was
happening, and messengers had been sent
to notify the officers.
When Strickland was returning to take
another shot at his rival Officers Wren
and Moore came upon him, and he was
forced to deliver his gun to them and
submit to having pair of steel bracelets
snapped on his wrists. He was taken to
the city, and upon being searched
razor was found on him. He was locked
up on charges of assault with intent to
murder and carrying concealed weapons
1t was learned that he had another
stick Of dynamite which he intended plac-
ing under some negro foreman's house,
but was prevented fran doing so by other
negroes.

Jasper, March 24-(Special)-T body
of William Henry Jackson, a young white
man about % years of age, was found in
a horribly mangled condition on the
tracks of the Northern Alabama railway
near Gamble mines, about six miles north
of Jasper, last night. Two freight trains
are said to have passed over the body,
and it is supposed that the unfortunate
young man met his death in an attempt 10
catch one Of these to ride to Jasper.
Jackson is said to have left Jasper yes
terday afternoon in drunken condition.
He went to Parrish, and from there it
is understood he was 10 return to Ca
lumet. Instead of getting off at the latter
place he remained on the northbound pas
senger train until it reached Gamble sta
ton, where he was put off. 1t Is then
thought that he attempted to catch a
freight train coming south, and was
thrown under the wheels and ground
to pieces. The deceased was the son of
John H. Jackson, who was formerly a
section foreman on the Northern Ala
bama.

LIMESTONE COUNTY VOTES
BOND ISSUE FOR ROADS

an election, and the friends of the meas
ure have been busy since working for
the success of the movement.
The day was ideal for farm work and
this accounts for the small vote, but the
larger the vote the larger the majority
would have been. The county will issue
at an early date s135,O00 in bonds bearing
interest at Az per cent, running for thirty
years. The court has already been Of
fered par for the bonds. The county is
entirely out of debt and the bonds will
be the only debt against the county.
The city dispensary is making a net
profit of about $1,000 year, and half of
this goes toward paying the interest and
this insures the interest pal dpromptly
semi-annually. 1t is rare opportunity
for money to be well invested at a better
rate than is offered by the government
The legislature will pass a road law in
the July session making proper arrange
ment for the handling of this money. The
people of the county are happy.

as to attraction attention by its odor.
When uncovered the throat was seen to
be cut FROM ear to ear, and the body
carved in several places. 1t had evident
ly been lying there for several days.
The deceased was an Italian peddler
who had been waylaid, killed and robbed
while carrying his pack from one camp
to another In his pocket was the address
of a fellow countryman of this city, who
went out yesterday and identified the
man as Dalazzola Filtto. He WAS brought
to Gaudin's undertaking parlors and pre-
pared for burial Investigation so far

on any Individual.

Athens, March 24-The people of this
county have awakened from their long
drowsiness and at the election held
throughout the county yesterday voted
for the issue of bonds to secure money
with which to build system of good
roads in this county. The issue carried
by vote of almost six to one, there be-
ing more than thousand in favor of the
bond issue, while less than two hundred
voted against the issue.
This is a great victory for the people
who have been fighting for progress here
for years. Athens claims some of the
honor for this great stride towards fu-
ture prosperity. The city recently offered
to give half of the net profits of the city
dispensary towards paying the interest
on the bonds and the remainder to go into
a sinking fund to meet the debt when it
falls due. The proposition met with favor
and the court of commissioners ordered

Superstitious Customs,

From the Chicago Journal.
Many of our customs date back to the
dark ages and are based on superstition.
We sit. up with our dead because long
ago our ancestors kept watch by night
lest evil spirits come and bear the body
away.
We shake hands with the right hand
because that Is the dagger hand and
means that we dlsarm ourselves In the
presnece of a friend.
We bow the head in passing others be-
cause our ancestors were wont to bow be-
fore the real yoke of the oppresor.
Men bare their heads because they had
to unmask in the days of chivalry before
the queen of beauty.
