COLLAR MAY CLEAR MYSTERY.
Clothing of sherin's Son Found Near
 Dead Body.

Birmingham, Sept. 2:-(Speciai.l-- The nude body of dead negro was found near Brookside today, the only ing a collar and tie lying to one side.
 By taking the collar to all the laun. dries in town. Coroner Paris discoe- cred that the laundry mark was that of Lee Higdon, son of Sheriff HigdoA.
 The mystery was partially explained when it was learned that a negro iiv- ing in an alley in the rear of the Hig- don home had been sent to Brookside Monday and had not since been seen.
 The theory Is that the negro. wear- ing one of Mir. Higdon's cast off col. lars, killed the man whose body was found, and fled.
 Why the victims body should have been stripped of all clothing remains a mystery. -e.ad-.

agency will be located in every
county seat and one also in each
additional town of 1000 or more
population.
1t is figured by members of the
legislature, who were active during
the campaign to pass the measure,
that the state must sell $1,S00,000
worth of liquor annually to make
the law self-supporting. This will
make the state dispensary at Guth-
RE one of the biggest wholesale
liquor houses in the entire West.
1t Is also figured that each quart
of dispensary whisky will cost the
consumer IS. The law states that
to the original cost of the whisky
must be added all the states ex-
penses in handling the dispensary
system, and to this total cost an ad-
ditional so per cent for the states
profit. AS result, 1t is generally
believed, the &C. o. D." business of
liquor houses out Of the state will
thrive, and in all probability leave
the state holding the sack financial
ly at the end of the year.
