CLAIM RAZOR BOX WAS
 MADE BY JOHN SMITH
Is Said the Box Was Carved By the Captain While in Cap tvity and Presented by Pocahonas. It Is Carved from
 Sasafras and Contains Several Relics of Interest

of the United States As the story of the razor box goes it was during the captivity of Capt. John Smith among the Indians of Virginia that he carved this razor box with an old barlow pocket knife, out of a solid piece of sassafras, as mere matter of past time. The box was found by Pocahontas after she had saved the life of the noted captain, and having fallen desperately in love with the young Engllshman, and knowing that the razor box had been carved by his hand, she guarded 1t closely and after her marriage to Captain Smith, she pre- sented 1t to him as memento of the occasion of her having saved his life, and as the commencement of love, though strange and highly romantic, which later ripened into love that was broken only by death. It is said that during the remainder of Capt. John Smiths life he kept his razors in this box, and regarded 1t as one of the most valuable treasures that he possessed.
 Since the death of Captain Smith, in the long ago, the razor box has been handed down from generation to genera ton, and now 1t has found its way to New Decatur, Ala, and is the property of P. E. Smith, who would not part with the box for a small fortune.
 In the box is a razor hone, which was the property of P. D. Smiths ancestors and which is itself very old. There Is also 8 piece of flannel cloth in the box which was woven by P. b. Smiths grand mother more than a century ago.

Decatur, June 10.-(Special) )-Perhaps the most valuable razor box in Alabama, if not in the entire country. is owned by P E. Smith, a well known barber of New Decatur.
 The intrinsic value of the box is but a few cents, but its great age and past connections make it most valuable as a historical relic of the earliest days Of America.
 The box is cut out of a solid piece of sassafras, and has a sliding top which works in a grove. The box is about ten inches long and four inches square. It was intended to hold a razor, hone and shaving brush. The box is handmade, and is curiously though rudely but beau tifully carved on the sides.
 Connected with the past history of the --3ox is a beautiful and highly interesting story. P. E. Smith IS a descendant of the Capt. John Smith, who was so promi- nently identified with the early history
