ON PEONAGE CHARGE
DR. c. E. M'coNNELL, or FINE HILL,
 IS ARREsTED.
He Was Carried to Selma Sunday Night by Deputy MarshaI--His Arrest Caused Sensation In
 Wilcox County.

Selma, Nov. 11--(Special. )--Dr. c. E. Mcconnell. of Pine Hill, Wilcox County, was brought to Selma last night by Deputy United States Marshal W. w. Waite. pr. Mcconnell, who is a prom inent dentist of Pine Hill. was arrested on an indictment charging him with peonags.
 The indictment upon which he was arrested for peonage. was found by the grand jury of the United States Court during the session of that body last week. Whether he will be given a hearing at this term of the court, is not known yet, but 1t Is thought that the case will not be called sntil the next session of court.
 Dr. Mcconnell is charged with having held in peonage for some time, a negro named Anderson Grant. From what could be learned. it seems that Dr. Mo- Cornell Is also owner of livery sta- ble at Pine Hill. and that the negro An- derson Grant. has been made to work around this stable against his will. Dr. Mcconnell Is one of the most prominent citizens of Wilcox County, and Is highly esteemed by all who know him, and his many friends believe that he will experience no difficulty in clear ing himself of the indictment which the United States grand jury found against him.

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE
what ts Causing the Increase of ca.
 tarrh in Montgomery.

In spite of the best efforts of uaediea, men. catarrhal troubles are increa sin :. not only in Montgomery. but all over the country.
 Catarrh is germ disease, and to cure 1t germ life in the breathing or- Eans should be destroyed, and to, do this no other treatment has such positive and beneficial action as Hyomei.
 When the mucous membrane is irri- tated and raw and the tissues weaken cd. there is an ideal lodging place for catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei and see how quickly it soothes the mem. hranes. vitalizes the tissues and de- strovs all the disease germs. rendering catarrh no longer possible. There is no dangerous stomach drua- ging when Hyomei Is used: no la bIas or liauid mixtures destroying digestion.
 Breathed through the neat pocket in . haler that comes with every Hyomai outfit. the healing balsams penetrate to the most remote air cells of the throat. nose and lungs. destroying the catarrhal germs so that quick recovery follows.
 D. c. Fowler agrees to refun the money tBany purchaser of Hyomei who does not find that 1t doss all that Is claimed for it. The complete outfit costs but S4. tu-su-

In Mobile Conrta.

Mobile. Nov I1.--(Special.) )---In the Recorders Court. l.. F. Smith, deputy sheriff for the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad and stationed at the local machine shops of the company. was fined SlO for disorderiy conduct.
 Smith was arrested on a warrant sworn to by Fred Fink, who Is said to be one of a party of non-union naa- chinists to arrive here the past week from St. Louis to work in the shops.
 From the evidence, 1t appears that Smith suspicioned Fisk as a diaorgan. fzer and claimed that he was travelling under an assumed name and had been sent by the striking machinists to ob- tain work in the shops. Fink denied the accusations. An altercation fol- lowed. in which Smith is said to have caught Fink in th e collar and proceed cd to use him rather roughly.
 Tn the City Court today the case against Lewis Pooiey. the young white man under indictment for burglary. was mol pressed. Pooley was charged with burglarizing the place of Charles Frederick at South End, but Frederick did not wish to push the case, and 1t was mol pressed. Pooley pleaded guilty to three cases of forgery several days ago. and Is now awaiting sentence in those cases.
 Ed Owens and John williams, col ored, were in the Inferior Criminal Court today to answer the charge of assault with intent to murder.
 It was alleged that the two defend- ants were guilty of having shot at Jud Roberts, a conductor of the Govern ment Stree. electric car line, recently. with the intent to kill him. While the evidence adduced was considered shal- law. the court decided to allow the higher court to hear the case and each defendant was required to give bend fin the sum of $500. for his appearance fin the City Court.
 Deputy Sheriff John Brown has re- turned from New Orleans. having in charge Tom Greer. negro, wanted here on a charge of murder.
 Greer. during an altercation with Him Johnson. another negro, on . Jack son between Beauregard and Bloodgood Streets, in April. stabbed Johnson to death and escaped. Greer stated to the deputy he was glad to come back, and declared he would prove that the Killing was in self-defense.

 Answer for the Crime.
 Cleveland, O.. Nov. Il.-After numer- ous postponements of trial, Charlotte Phillips finally appeared before Justice Brown in East cleveland today. to answer to the charge of second degree murder, in causing the death of her husband, J. J. Phillips. a widely known coal operator.
 Phillips was shot early on the morn tna of septenaber 2 last. According to the statement of Mrs. Phillips, her husband was killed by burglar, who had gained access to their home. 0ws ing to conflicting statements made by Mrs. Phillips and her adopted daugh- ter, Ethel, who was in the house when the shooting occurred, the authorities discredited the burglar theory and as a result Mrs. Phillips was eventually charged with the crime.
 Ethel Phillips, 14 years of age. the adopted daughter, testified today that after Phillips was taken from the stair

tion by pre-arraOged plan may vastly improve the character of the people who are brought to our land. And, this feature of the matter Is really of vital importance to those who have at heart the welfare of this section. This brings us again to thought in regard to the Information Bureau, which is for "Homeseekers." It is beyond question that the best citizen, the best employee, the best neighbor is the man who is the head of family, who has as an in centiye for his toll the needs not only of himself, but of a wife and children. So we say, without fear of contradic- tion, that the most desirable class of new citizens that can be brought to this country are the Homeseekers, the Home builders.
 However, this is the very class of men that it is the most difficult to bring to a new country. They have perhaps in their present location, wherever that may be, an employment that yields them sufficient returns for their labor to keep the wolf from the door. It may be only by the most rigid econo- my, yet they are reluctant to hazard a change which may place them in a con- ditiou even worse. Whenever and wherever such men can be discovered, it will be the object of the Bureau to place them in possession of such accn- rate information in regard to South eastern Alaska as will convince them that they take no risk in casting their lot with us.
 Only with the help and encourage ment of many of the citizens of this district can the Boreau accomplish that which it seeks to do, and it is gratify- ing to note that those who have already learned of the organization are not slow either in commenting it's pur. poses, or in offering to assist. While there is much preparatory work yet to be done, yet any who are interested or have any questions to ask, may write either to the secretary, Mir. John Hen son, or to any of the other officers, and be assured c2 a prompt reply.
