The Woman Who CANDLES.

Moralists say that the emotion OF
gaming makes women ugly. It is not
necessary to take the word Of the
moralists for that Gaming does not
make women ugly: It unmasks them,
and 1t is of that that they must be
warned. It is natural enough, since
they play passionately, and In playing
thhey forget the world and their faces.
So much the worse for those who do
as Jezebel. Jean Lorrain has left ter.
rible pictures of old painted faces the
natural condition of which Is revealed
by the excitement Of play.

MEN ARE WHIPPED BY NIGHT RIDERS Three Hundred Form Band te Execute Vengeance OVER 1000 SHOTS FIRED Ten Men Receive Whippings, Among Whom Is Police Judge and
 County Judge Receives
 Warning.
OVER 1000 SHOTS FIRED

Eddyville, Ky, February 16-Night rid CTS. 300 strong, visited Eddyville at l o'clock this Sunday morning and whipped 10 men, four. of them white and six negroes The white men who are tQaay suffering from sore backs as the result of a severe chastisement with switches are:
 Police Judge C.. W. Fucker, Leslie Woods, former city marshal; Press Fra lick, who occasionally acted deputy city marshal and Grace Robertson, sa- loon porter.
 The connection between the whipping of the>white men and the negroes and the tobacco war in western Kentucky is not apparent and no one has been able to offer any explanations. None of the vic tins was known to be either active or inf1uention in opposition to the farmers pooling movement No attempt was made at destroying stored tobacco.
 The riders were well drilled and we'll armed. About 250 entered the town from the direction of Trigg county and the remainder from the opposite direction.'
 Over thousand shots were fired dur ing the course of their stay but the only casualty reported is that of young wom- an, whose face is sand to have been grazed by stray bullet. The home of Judge Fucker was badly damaged be- fore the riders were able to get hold of him, the walls being riddled with bull lets, doors and shutters torn off, etc After taking each of the men to the edge of town and whipping them, they were allowed to return home.
 After the whippings had been admin istered, the mob awakened County Judge W. L. Crumbaugh and warned him that his immunity from similar punishment hereafter depended entirely on the friend ship he was expected to show the tobacco growers organization. He was told that his gray hairs were responsible for his being spared this time.
 The only tobacco man visited was J. M. Bradshaw was ordered to close up a one of the growers associations. MT. Bradhsaw was ordered to close up a billiard hall which he owns. Before leaving the town, the riders an- nounced that they had not finished their work and that they would return before many days.

of the republican party, Davidson wing or Thompson wing, that expects to ca jole the ,negro voter into supporting it by sweet words and rich promises will fail. It is not that the negro is or expects to be an officeholder, but because of his rights and dues that he feels at liberty to repudate any faction which ignores him. After waiting a few days, unless the ne- groes are granted representation in pro- portion to their strength, 1t is the inten- tion of the negroes to organize, call convention, and elect delegates to the na- tional convention
 Robinson states that while some have stated that the negroes of Alabama are for Taft, that careful inquiry among the negro voters will bring out the fact that they are for ForalSer, and in case of his getting out of the race, for anyone other than Secretary Taft.
 Republican politics will continue lively, for tomorrow the J. o. Thompson wing of the party has meetings in the city. The executive committee of this wing will meet for the purpose of calling a con vention to elect Taft delegates from Alabama The county and district com mittees will also hold meetings in Bir- mingham this week.

NEGROES RESENT
 EVIDENT SLIGHT
SAY THEY WILL HOLD CONvEN- TON OF THEIR OWN UNLESS PROPERLY RECOGNIZED BY THE RIVAL WINGS or THE PARTY.

Unless the negro republicans of the state are given representation in committees and convention of the party in proportion to their numerical strength, then it seems evident that both the Davidson and Thompson wings of the party will lose the support of the negro voters.
 In case the concession mentioned above is not granted, then, according to the present plans of the negroes, they will or ganize, call convention and elect dele gates to the national convention.
 It is now considered certain that there will be two delegations from Alabama to the national convention, and the question now is. will there be three, each claiming to be the legalized and authentic delega- tion?
 R. G. Robinson, chairman of the ex- ecutive committee of the Colored Citizens s club, is authority for the statement that unless the negroes are given proper rep resentation. they will form wing of their own.
 Robinson states that the meeting of the Davidson wing last Saturday bore the earmarks of the old lilly white party, on account of, what he charges, it's evil dent intention of ignoring the negroes. Says he in this connection: That part

SOUTHERN IRON
 MARKET STEADY
MANUFACTURERS ARE HOLDING OUT FOR $13.50, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PRESENT IN JUDGEMENT TO CUT.

Chattanooga, Tenn, February 16.-The Tradesman gives the following summary of iron ahd steel conditions in the south:
 While it is not to be denied that there is plenty of room for improvement, it cannot be said that the southern iron and steel market is in a bad way. There is some business being transacted though in small lots. Large and small man. ufacturers in the south are holding their iron firmly at $13.50. While there have been no agreements entered into, it is stated that there appears to be no doubt but that a general understanding has been arrived at that there is no necessity for cutting prices. In other words the opinion appears to be more concessions will hardly induce business. Even the smaller concerns which were talked about some time ago as being able to conduct their own affairs are holding for the same prices though their order books are we'll supplied with business for the first quar- ter of the year. There has been no re- sumption of furnaces this month though sentiment is strong foh decided im- provement all around in the near future. Machine shops are working short forces and readjustment of wages was found necessary to whirh much opposition was expressed.

Found Guilty Of Fraud
 Through Use Of Mails

guments for new trial will be heard on March ?. In the meantime Marion Grey will remain at liberty under the bond given after her indictment.
 The jury decided that the government had not proved fraud in any other count of the indictment. Grable having been the only one of her clients who was shown to have procured a wife not up to specifications through the bureau of which Mrs Marion Grey was the head. Grable paid 5 for membership in the "Searchlight club as the bureau was styled, and through this medium met and married widow from Texas represented to be wealthy and beautiful.
 The jurors held that the description constituted fraud, although the widow made Grable an acceptable wife.
 Grable testified at the trial that while he was satisfied with the wife secured by them, through the "Searchlight club, he felt that he had been deceived as to her finances and physical appearance.

SOUTHERN TRAIN IS DISCONTINUED

local agent of the Southern Railway was notified last night by C. A. Bens- coter, assistant general passenger agent of the road, that passenger trains No. b and IS on the Northern Alabama departing at 3:25 a. m. and arriving at 1:2J p. m. will be discontinued after today. MT. Benscoter states in his letter that the de- crease in the general traffic and earn ings of the road and the increase in ex- penses is responsible for the discon- tinuance of these trains, making retrench- nent necessary. Just year ago two t1 aims were put on daily each way on the Northern Alabama, only one having been run up to that time. The order just issued puts the road back on the old basis of one train daily.
