THE MOST UNIQUE SIGN.
It Was Raised in Record Time by R. H
 Hammock


 The unique electric sign in front of The Lions Head" a sign that can be seen from one end of the avenue to the other is a credit to the skin and knowledge of R. H. Hammock, As- sistant Superintendent of the Mont gomery Light and Water Power Com pany. Mir. Hammock raised and mounted this sign. which is said to be the most unique in the South. ]. "The Lions Head" was being fitted up in lavish style when A. C. Akin of the Commercial Department of the Company suggested the sign. The sign had to be raised and connected in rec ord breaking time, and this was done by Mir. Hammock.
 The general interest aroused by the unique sign was expected. because it is said to represent the acme of electrical advertising.

crime does not appear to have been
based on any actual disappearance;
in Russia, the murder Of the child
is believed to have been the work Of
a near relative; while in Austria the
disappearance of a boy was simply
due to the fact that he had died in a
wood, of exposure and starvation. In
all four instances the Jews concerned
have been in the gravest peril. At
Varna, the congregation was in dan
ger during the Passover service. At
Shanoizi, many Jewish houses have
been attacked, and the entire district
is excited. At Port Said, the Arabs
have been shouting, 'Death to the
Jews like so many rOughs on Paris
boulevard in the Dreyfus days. For
tunately, the outbreaks have, in all
eases, met with commendable firmness
by the authorities, particularly by
those of Bulgaria, where the govern
ment is more than ever well disposed
towards our co-religionists. In Rus
sia, where the blood legend was al
lowed to produce the Kishineff atrOci-
ties. the officials, in obedience to or
ders from st. Petersburg, nipped the
recent attempt in the bud. Like the
Varna incident, it showed that if the
central authorities do not desire
Jewish massacre. the massacre cannot
occur. Unhappily, as latter-day his.
tory shows. the good will of Russian
of1icialdom cannot always be depended
upon, and it is to be hoped that the
two unfortunate Jews who have been
arrested in connection with the Shan
oiZi affair will not suffer the fate of
IIilsner. This monstrous invention Of
ritual murder the monopoly hp.
parently of no nation, creed. age or

defence. The continued existence of
the foul calumny is as humiliating to
twentieth century civilization as it is
dangerously insulting to many of our
people.
