THE TIDE THAT LEADS ON TO FORTUNE

Things never looked brighter in in
dustrial circles. The first thing to be
noted is the change in the spirit of the
people. They were inclined for time
too be gloomy and pessim1stic, but this
has given place to spirit of develop
ment and optimism for the future.
This spirit has already worked Won
ders. If it is nurtured into action, and
not allowed to run to seed in mere
talk, it will work wonders within the
next five years.,
This was not written about Ameri-
Gus. 1t is what the Times ENTERPRISE
says about Thomasville. But it ap-
plies with equal force to Americas.
1t is almost as though the Times En-
terprise editor had Americas in mind
when he wrote the article from which
this extract is taken. It shows that
the same conditions have prevailed in
both cities, and that today both are
animated by the same spirit of hope
fulnesss and determination.
Today Americas is optimistic. No
one will lquestion that. The croakers
have all disappeared, the gloomy fore
bodings have vanished, the man who
saw nothing but disaster in the future
las been relegated to the rear. The
destinies of the city are in theIhands

Crime.
Dothan. Ala, March Frank
Fowler, a white man, 35 years old,
who lives a short distance south OF
this city was arrested and placed in
Jail here on a charge of numbering
his wife on last Monday night.
Fowler is a sawmin man, and had
been in Dothan Monday for the pur-
pose of selling his plant to parties
here, and states that when he re-
turned home Monday evening his
wife complained of being sick, and
was unable to prepare supper, and re-
tired to her bed unusually early.
Thinking her not in a serious condi-
tion. he left her in the care of their
six little children, and went over to
@ neighbours home to attend a board
saving and dance.
When he returned late in the eve
ming, Mrs. Fowler was lying diago-
nally across the bed, and snoring
heavily, which was something very
unusual. Waking her, he found her
to be very i'll, and so, measuring a
dose of medicine for her, retired for
the night.
About 1 o'clock Fowler awoke, and
found his wife cold in death.
The alarm was given, and neigh
bors were on the scene Immediately,
and the burial took place Tuesday.
Soon after the interment the report
was out that the woman had met her
death from some virulent dose. Fow-
Ter was arrested and placed in jail.
Later Major Adkins, who lived with
the family, was placed under arrest
as an accomplice to the deed.
AS Mrs Fowler bore a very heavy
insurance policy it is believed that
the intention of the criminal was TO
to secure her money.
The coroners jury returned with
the verdict that the deceased came
to her death at the hands of her hus-
band.
The dead body is in a horrible con-
dition, her head being badly bruised,
one jaw broken, and a heavy foot
print on her back, with number Of
other serious bruises over the body
A young daughter of the man
states that he killed her mother, and
threatens to kill her if she told.
Fowler was a prominent citizen in
his community, and great excitement
prevails over the awful tragedy A
preliminary hearing will be given the
two men Friday.
