MIR. SEYMOUR IS URGING
 WILLIAMSON CORN METHOD

To aid in the diversification propa- ganda that seems to be taking hold of the farmers in the South, Hon. w. H. Seymour, Director of the Bureau of Cotton Statistics, Is urging the Will Hanson method of corn raising on the cotton growers of Alabama. It Is be- liewed by him that this Is one of the most successful methods of corn cul- tivation on record.
 MT. Seymour does not hope for the work he is undertaking to be a rous- ing success right at the start because it will be a question of introducing it, and that must necessarily be a slow process. But 1t Is predicted that when 1t is taken up universally through the State the results will be beyond expectation.
 The demonstration of the wilIiam- son corn method according to Mir. Seymour. will so favorably surprise the user of 1t that 1t will more than any other single factor induce tue growers of cotton to diversity their crops. The demonstration work on this method will be undertaken at several of the district agricultural college experiment. stations.

Dr. Thoma. Wa. rtnes.

Birmingham, Sept. 16.--(SpeciaI. J. In the second division of the Criminal Court Wednesday. Judge Samuel L. Weaver lined negro giving his name as pr. Alfred E. Thomas S25O on a charge of carrying a concealed pistol.
 The complainant was c. J. Wilhite, who claimed that the negro shot at him five times last April near the cor ner of Seventeenth Street and Avenue H. A number of witnesses were plac- ed on the stand to bear out Wilhite's statement about the negro doctor pull ing a weapon from his pocket. After conviction it was intimated by the ne- gro's attorney that an appeal would be taken on the ground that the de- fense did not have an opportunity to get his witnesses to court.
 When the case was called a contin- uance was asked on the ground that the list of defendants witnesses had been lost in the Criminal Court office. Attorney B. M. Allen, who was em- ployed to assist the State, brought out the point that Thomas was indicted June I2 and that the list of witnesses was turned in to the Clerk of the Grim inal Court Monday.
 That being tho .case," said Judge Weaver. the defendant will have to go to trial. He had plenty of time to furnish list of witnesses and due diligence has not been shown"
 The negro doctor was carried to the county jail and locked up pending the taking out of an appeal bond.

 BEATINGs.
Revolting story of Violence Brought Out in Recorders Court--Negro Received Eighteen Months'
 Sentence

T ann sorry I cannot sentence you to six years Imprisonment. instead of six months" said Police Judge Baber in sentencing John Hiliman, a negro. in Police Court yesterday. 'but the law does not allow me to, but as there are three counts against you, I will give you six months for each"
 Hiilman had takep Reese Garnet. a 7-year-old negro boy. into his room and stripping the boy, had beaten him with a razor strop for fifteen minutes.
 The trouble took place in New Town yesterday morning at sunrise and the sound of the blows attracted the at- tention of neighbors who came to try to stop the fiogging.
 Tn his testimony. the boy said he had been severely beaten on several occa- sions, and to see If he was scared, Po- lice Captain Miles Smith made him take of his shirt and underbody. The boys neck. body and legs were a mass of blue welts and dried blood ciotted to his skin. His bright yellow skin was purple In places with the bruised blood under 1t. There was not place on his person from neck to knees that one could lay a dime on and not touch ugly welts and great purple bruised spots.
 Julia Powell. negro woman living near the place where the boy was beat en. said she met his aunt Sarah John son, who is taking care of him." (the boy is an orphan) and said the woman was in a fury and said she would kill the boy if she caught him. Evidently knowing her disposition, the boy was detained late by a neighbor. to whom he had gone for bucket of water Mon day evening. and feared to go home. He slept in the busSes near the house all night, and this infuriated the wo- man. She had whipped him severely before sending him for the water, and the boy was too scared te go back. He was found by Hillman the next morning asleep in the bushes and taken home. Then the beating started. The witnesses testified that she could hear the sound of the blows out in the pub lie road, and at first thought carpet was being beaten, until she heard the boy, who was too badly hurt to cry, pleading for mercy She went to the house. she said. and begged them to stop whipping him, but they kept on She said she asked the Johnson woman if she was a member of the church. and the woman answered that she was too mad to remember.
 Charity Baldwin, another negro wo- man, said she also went there and pleaded with the man and woman to stop, but they paid no attention to her. She said she could not stand the sight of the little naked fellow being tortured and went back to get some Of the men of the neighborhood to stop the torture. but whe nthey came the cuIprits had dodged and gone down town.
 The police were notified of the out rage ana went first to the house. where they found the boy locked in and lying on the floor in a dazed condition. They took him to police station where med icaI attention was given him. and then they went out and in very short time yanked the Johnson woman and Hill man to a couple of cells.

FOR A BRYAN CLUB
MEETING WILL BIC HELD FRIDAY
 NIGHT.
MT, Mallory and Senator Johnston Have Been Iuvited to speak--Mr. Tomlinson Will Be
 Present.

The Montgomery Bryan and Kern Club will be organized Friday night at the court house at o'clock. It is con fidently expected that Hon. John W. Tomlinson of Birmingham, who is at the head. of the club organizations or the National Democratic Campaign Committee, will be present.
 Temple Seibels, chairman of the sub committee named by Chairman George W. Jones of the Montgomery County Executive Committee, has been indus triously at work to make the organiza- ton meeting a success. He has i'm vited Hon. H. S. D. Mallory, Senator Joseph F. Johnston and other leading Democrats to be present and deliver addresses at the meeting MT. Seibels has hopes that both Mr. Mallory and Senator Johnston will be present.
 One thing is assured, however. It will be a notable meeting. There will certainly be some of the best political speakers in the State present. Those who attend the speaking will be as- sured of some enthusiastic and rattling addresses.
 As the campaign progresses. the sen- timent has grown stronger and strong. CT in Montgomery that Bryan and Kern will be elected This in itself has aroused additional interest in the campaign. Tn Montgomery County the national ticket will get much more than the usual Democratic vote. Every Democrat is invited to attend the meeting and enroll himself as a mem- Der of the club.

at all embarrassed before so many people. the court room was crowded. and answered questions in listless way. He said he was an orphan, his father having died in prison. and he had been sent to live with relatives. He said he had three sets of scars, old ones made by the first people he lived with, the second inflicted by the John son woman, and the third. the new ones, the man had given him.
 The Johnson woman in her testimony said she was not related to Hillman that he was just living at the house, and she had asked him to beat the boy for her, not believing she had the strength to administer the punishment she desired to infiict. Hillman admit ted beating the boy, but said he had not beaten him longer than i've min utes.
 There were three counts against the man. one for his mode of living. two flor assault and battery the boy having said he was beaten in a similar man. ner last week. in which statement he was borne out by neighbors, who say he is beaten necessarily.
 There was but one charge of assault and battery against the woman. and she was let off with imprisonment for six months.
 After the trial Policeman Taylor, who with Sergeant Ragland. had made the arrests. said he would take care of the boy, and he was given by the court into the keeping of the officer.
