Mr.. Benton Again.

Another letter appears in ChIa ia-

undertaken to Chrow sonle light on
the theory OF socialism, hui TO
the Herald he only ohscures what We
have been trying to find out. uanle-

WHAT IN the world they plan to ac-

Mr. Benton inlagines a Cropian
condition Of Affairs when each per-
overlooking the plain fact that a

NINE IS NOTABLE NUMBER
 IN MRS. G0ODS0N'S LIFE
Every Important Event of Life Hap
 pened on Day or Year Of Nine.


 Mrs. Julia B. Goodson, wife of w. A Coodson, of Highland Park, has every reason to believe that nine is the num- Der of her life for everything of im- portance that has happened to her has had to do with that figure.
 Today, January 1S, 1908, Mrs. Good son, who was born January 1s, 1S4s, is celebrating her fifty-ninth birthday.
 She was welded at the age of nine teen and has been married forty nine years. She has now living nine broth- CTS and sisters.
 MT. and Mrs. Goodson live at the corner of Cedar and Eugene streets in Highland Park and have made their home in Montgomery eleven years. To them have been born twelve children. of whom eight now are living. They both were born in Autauga county, "Old Kingston" once the county seat of Autauga, being the natal place of Mrs. .Goodson. MT. Goodson was a member of the western army of the Confederacy. and served for two years. the other two years of the war being spent in a military prison.
 Mir. and Mrs. Goodson will have no formal celebration of the birthday of Mrs. Goodson but very probably some of the many friends they both have in Montgomery will call to offer their congratulations and best wishes to Mrs. Goodson.

HEARING OF CAPT. ODOM'S
 PETITION IS CONTINUED
Children Are StiII In Charge Of Judge Sayre Pending Final Dis-

Because Judge Sayre postponed hear ing the petition of Captain odom, of the Salvation Army. for the custody of the children he is endeavoring to take from the present homes until February 1, the children will remain in the GUS tody of the court until that time.
 They are hardly in the custody or the court, but while the suit is pend- ing 1t will not be possible for the mothers to remove them as they would in this way, lay themselves lia- ble to contempt of court.
 The case to be heard yesterday was whether or not the judge would ap- point temporary guardian for them pending the hearing of the case Cap tain Odom filed in the Chancery Court in which he petitions for guardians for the children. As the case was post poned the matter will rest just where it has since Judge Sayre ruled adverse ly to the interests of the Salvation Army.

A FIGHT IN JAIL
ONE PRISONER SERIOUSLY STARS
 ANOTHER.
Spoon sharpened On Cement Floor Is Weapon Used-Difieulty Out- come Of Quarrel Ovap
 Stamp.

| -
 Because Harvey Bransfone and Bol- | ling Hall could not agree as to the | ownership of a two-cent stamp In
 Bransford's possession the two negroes ] fought a battle in the county jail yes- | terday morning at 10 o'clock that
 nearly resulted ir Hall losing his lie. As 1t is he is suffering from a danger
 ous cut in the left side of the neck pea: the jugular vein inflicted with a dangerous weapon made from the ham, dle of tin spoon.
 While passing through the jail yes- terday Sheriff Hood was accosted by Bransford who asked for a stamp. Mr. Hood gave him the money when Hall, waving letter through the bars, also asSed for a stamp. MT. Hood gave a nickel to Bransford and told him to send for two stamps and give Hall one of them. This morning Hall ashe ed for his share of the nickel after the two stamps had been procured and other prisoners state that when the request was made Bransford jumped on Hall.
 Efforts of the other prisoners to separate the men were futile and in a few minutes Bransford had cut Hall. He used a broken spoon that he had hid away after a meal. He had sharp ened 1t on the cement floor until it made a first class knife. Calls of the prisoners brought Jailer Pettus to the scene and doctor was summoned immediately. Though dangerously cut 1t is expected that Hall will live.
 Had the weapon used been a knife or some instrument that had been slipped in to the prisoners those con nected with the jail might in some manner be responsible but owing to the fact that it was a spoon handle no blame is placed on them. The matter will have to come before the grand jury and Sheriff Hood took the testimony of several eye-witnesses yes- terday.
 Both of the combatants are in jail charged with grand larceny. Brans- ford was put in on october 22 and Hall came there on January 6.
