some one else.s clothes
 Willie Mitchell frankly told the court that the young men of Montgomery were the swellest lot of dressers he ever saw and that when he watched them on parade in their glad toEs and found out where they lived the tempta- ton to go forth and do likewise was more than his poor weak human nature could withstand. and that he went.
 Willie was arrested a few weeks ago. with enough good clothes in his private wardrobe to stock first-class shop and unfortunately they all belonged to certain young white gentlemen whom he knew and who put sufficient trust In him to allow him access to their rooms.
 When Hall made his eight time wrong doing plea of guilty, each case amounting to the serious offence of grand larceny, Judge Thomas of the City Court. concluded to hold up his sentence and try to work out a pun ishment to fit the crime.
 But there is no doubt but what the prevailing fashions where Willie Mit- chell Hall will be assigned to live for sometime to come will run exclusively to stripes.

 ProUe Undoing of ". M. Hall

Willie Mitchell Hall, of Montgomery. has for sometime been a charcoal coiored counterpart in real life of the Hall Room Boys" of the carmine colored Sunday supplements
 Young, poor and without influence. income or other resources except his own activity and ingenuity. Willie Mitchell set out in the unfriendly world to be the best dressed negro in Alabama -and he succeeded to a point of dis tinction.
 Some one reported to the police that Willie did not care whose clothes he wore. but this was a mistake and grave injustice to a taste both scruti- nous and discriminating Willie only wore the clothes of the best dressers in the Capital city of Alabama and 1t was compliment to any young man for him to swipe a portion of his ward robe; and Willie was nice enough to compliment a great number of them.
 In substantiation of these statements regarding Willie, 1t will suffice to state that yesterday in the City court of Montgomery he pleaded guilty to eight charges of grand larceny and each &C., cusation was based on his appearing in periodical processions in a suit of

ELECTRIC LINE TO
 CITRONELLE DISCUSSED

Mobile, Aug. 11.-(special) )--An elec- tric line from tis city to Citronelle is the latest announced project and one which 1t is believed will be carried to a successful conclusion within a month
 The announcement of this plan came about today because the Mobile Elec- tric Light and Railroad Company has asked the Council for permission to run it's cars for one block on St. Jo- seph Street. and those who are con- templating the building line between here and Citronelle, claim that the granting to the local company the right to operate over this block would seriously interfere with their plans. in that they propose to enter the city by the way of St. Joseph Street.
 The matter will be taken up and thrashed out at the next meeting of the City Council which will take place on Monday evening next The company that proposes to build the line to Cit- ronelle Is said to be backed up by cap italists of Louisville and Cincinnati, and 1t Is said that the construction of the road will mean an outlay of at least $500. .000.

Humorous Turn Given by Bryan in His Introduction to Printers of LIn- cOHn--OuGht to He Hon.

Lincoln. Neb. Aug. 11.-William J .
 Bryan the Democratic candidate for President, was the principal speaker at
 banquet given by the Lincoln Typo
 graphical Union in honor of c. Humph-
 rey O'Sullivan of Lowell. Mass. He
 was vociferously applauded throughout.
 Before entering into the more serious
 subject of his discussion, which was in
 reference to the part which labor or
 ganization plays in the worlds work,
 Mir. Bryan thanked the union for the
 opportunity given him to be present, and made a humorous reference to can didate John W. Kern. who also was a guest.
 He is naturally somewhat embar- rassed at the approaching notification" said Mir. Bryan amid laughter. T re- alize how 1t is with beginner, but I am sure that If he will persevere, the time will come when he feels as I do about it-so accustomed to being mo- tifed that 1t seems scarcely an extra ordinary occasion.
 After remarking that he was glad to get into an organization where he could be a member alongside of Me- braska's Governor, MT. Bryan said:
 This Is a campaign where we are going to take the people into our con hdence and we are going to have them make the light for our principles T. am BAaQ LO DC dSSOCIaLeQ WlIn those who bear so important a part in the great work that labor does I suppose that if there Is one organization of which could properly be made an hon orary member 1t is an organization of printers, for though I am not a printer msyelf, I have given printers more work to do than any other man, think. in the United States.

ugly humor, and officers who come tn from the various camps report offen- sIve language but no open disorder.
 Detachments of soldiers were sent from Birmingham this morning to ac- company strike breakers to Republic, Brookwood and Pratt city.. When ever strike breakers are sent the offi- cers are on the qui yive at headQuar- ters. The mens were delivered to the three places without any lawless act.
 The committee of twenty-five busi- ness men held a second conference with Governor Conner this morning. but the men who came from the conference were secretive. It Is known that Col. Rufus N. Rhodes, a member of the committee, has been especially active In trying to influence Strike Leader Fair ley and John P. White, the National Leader of the strikers. to bring peace. Thus far the efforts of Colonel Rhodes have been without effect.
 So far as the business men are con- cerned, everything waits on the mass meeting to be. held tomorrow.
 Robert Hayes President of Blocton union of miners, who was arrested on 6 charge of having directed the shooting at Bloeton Sunday morning, has been sent to jail at Centerville. u is said that he is now in close confinement and Is not allowed to communicate with any one. The date for the pre-. liminary hearing of the thirty-four prisoners has not been set. It is said that every one of these men is a mem- Der of the union.
 Robert Sigmund, the strike breaker who was dangerously wounded while on the train at Blocton. is reported to- day to be much improved. He is at St. Vincent's Hospital.
 Shooting Squad Leaves.
 The shooting squad of the Ale bama National Guard, en route to Fort Perry, Ohio, spent this afternoon In Birming- ham, and left for the North at o'clock. The squad of nineteen men is in charge of Adjutant General Bibb Graves. This afternoon Governor Co., mer issued an order designating Col E. H. Graves. of Barbour County, to be Adjutant General during the absence of General Graves in Ohio.
 Captain Haygood Paterson. of Mont gomery, reached here on the noon train to act as Adjutant of the 1st Regiment. It was thought that the AdJutant of the regiment. Captain F. M Maddox, of Mobile would go to Ohio with the squad, but Captain Maddox is i'll at a hotel in Birmingham. He was able to be out of bed today, but de- cided that he would not make the trip to Fort Perry.
 Captain Paterson will remain on duty here until Captain Maddox recovers.

# Beggars Were Thieues;
 This Thought He, Then Sung!

"If wishes were horses. beggars might ride"
 General Harrison. a negro arrested Monday on suspicion, was almost beg gar and he wished to ride. He was too eager to await the realization of his wish through ordinary channels, so he began to figure out a method by which the desired result might be at- tained. Mentally he amended the old and profitless saying. finally arriving at the following truthful thought: "If beggars were thieves they might ride horses"
 General soon began to form plans based upon his improved thought. He studied the horses in his vicinity and finding handsome animal on the place of MeGhee rBothers, McGhee's Switch, took possession of the creature and rode to Montgomery. Once arrived in

the city he was beset by other long ings and decided to sell the horse. The animal. which Is said to be worth SIPS. he first offered for slJ0, decreasing inc price demanded until a meagre $40 could have purchased the horse. That sum appeared to those whom General approacned too little for good thing, and in their mind they echoed the sent. iment of Hamlet upon a certain pcca- sion.
 The police were informed of the cir- cumstances of the case and the arrest of the negro on the charge of suspi- cion followed. Upon investigation 1t was found that the horse had been stolen and the charge of grand larceny was entered against General.
 He was tried in the Recorders Court yesterday afternoon and was bound over to the grand jury on a bond of $500.

the following dialogue:
Customcr-Show me small, low

you mean a pair of shears?
Customer (severely)-I mean pre-
cisely what said.
Salesman (defantly, opening

OF the best lyceum attractions
that has ever visited Kingstree
