Necessity is, indeed, the mother of in
vention, as is demonstrated by the negro
prisoners in Jail. The jail warden will
not allow the prisoners to have in their
possession razors or scissors with which
to shave and cut hair, and so 1t became
necessary to resort to some expedient to
get the wool off their heads. One inven-
tive genius sharpened tobacco tag on
the steel bars of the cell, and with this
primitive instrument he smoothly shaved
the heads of every negro who desired it.
One of these tobacco-tag shaved inmates
appeared in court today with his head as
bald as a last years walnut.

Talladega, September 30.-(Special. An
indictment for sending challenge to fight
a duel was tried in the city court today,
principals were negroes. No earlier case
could be found bearing on the question of
dueling than the one reported in the
twelfth volume of the Alabama reports,
decided more than SO years ago, which
goes to show that dueling and challenges
to fight duels is extinct in Alabama among
the white people. The challenge In this
case was not accepted, and no duel was
fought, but the colored men got their
dander up and went into the courts. The
average court trial is a diversion to
negro as he then occupies the center OF
the stage right in the middle of the spot
light. The defendant was acquitted.
Win Rhineheart, one of the prisoners
who is in jail, charged with the killing
of Graham in the bloody battle between
the officers and negroes near Sylacauga a
week since, is either crazy or feigning
lunacy in the county jail. He tore up
the fitting to the bath tub in the upper
cell of the north wing of the jail and
armed himself with a section of lead
pipe and defied the officers for a long
time to enter his cell. 1t was only by
much parleying and stratagem that the
officers finally secured an entrance, de-
prived him of his weapons and removed
him to the lower cells on the south side.
where there are number of prisoners.
This morning he again tore up some of
the plumbing, and for a time raised
rough house in the Jail, but was finally
overpowered. The county physician thinks
his mind is affected

Henry p. Smith, representative from
this county to the legislature, has brought
suit against the Bell Telephone company
to recover on an alleged breach of con-
tract. The complaint alleges that the COM
pany entered into a contract with plaintiff
by which he secured the right to connect
private telephone line at Collnsville
with the lines of the company provided
he first secured a given number of sub
scribers. That after securing the sub
scribers at large expense the company
refused to comply with it's contract and
thereby damaged the plaintiff in the sum
of $500.

we employed G. w. F. Street to
install our heating plant also to
put in our bathroom fixtures
He installed one of the best hot
air furnaces made, especially no
ticeable is the large brick-lined
fire pot which this furnace has,
insuring many years of wear
without burning out as do cheap
er grades of hot air furnaces.
The bathroom is modern as to
sanitary equipment and is also
artistic in it's furnishings. Mr..
Street is scientific plumber and
installs either hot air, hot water,
or steam heat. He understands
his business thoroughly and
guarantees satisfaction. We can
recommend his work and those
contemplating installing heat
ing plant or bathroom fixtures,
we unhesitatingly refer them to
