Some days ago The Advertiser pub lished a story to the effect that T. C. Hayden. owner of the Springfield Club of the Western Association, had writ ten to President Chambers of the local club that he had a couple of good out fielders for sale. MT. Chambers im- mediateiy wrote and asked for par mail was another letter from MT. Hay den. In his letter he said that he has two men that he is willing to sell to Montgomery. naming the price for each of them. Ellis and Wilson are the names of the two.
 Ellis is a new man, but Mir. Hayden says that he is very fast on his feet. a good base stealer. bunts well, hits the ball hard either right or left handed, has a good arm, fields his posi- tion splendidly and best of all, has good habits. Wilson, the other out fielder has been playing ball in the Western Association since 1905.
 Last July Hayden sold Wilson to Charlie Babb of the Memphis team for the sum of $500. Wilson however re- fused to go to Memphis and is now still the property of the Springfield club. In his letter yesterday Mir. Hay den says that the salary limit of the Western Association has been so re- duced that he is obliged to sell Wilson on account of the salary that he is getting.
 Last season Wilson led the Western Association in batting, only playing ninety-three games and evidently quitting the game when he was sold to Memphis in July. The fielding averages of the Western Association batting averages were published in The Chicago Record Herald of last Sunday. Ellis had in 78 games, 2S4

HIGDoN ON PROHIBITION.
Jefferson County Fee Oaleer Says Law
 IH All Right

Is All Right.
 Birmingham, Nov. 30-(Special. )- Sheriff Higdon is of the opinion that the prohibition laws are all right as they are if enforced.
 He says that all that is necessary for the officers to obtain the right kind of evidence and then make the ar- rests. Holding this view, the sheriff has written a letter to every deputy in Jefferson County, urging him to be active all the time in running down violators of the prohibition law. He says that the letter was written on ac- count of numerous complaints that have been reaching him and that If the dep utics do not do their full duty he pro- poses to make a general change.
 The following is the letter: '"To the Deputy Sheriffs in Jefferson
 County, Alabama:
 "Gentlemen:
 most every section of the county com blaming of violations of the prohibition law and gambling.
 "A number of these letters say my deputies in their section make no ef- fort at all to stop these violations.
 "It is hard for me to believe have a man on my force who would fail to do his duty at all times, and these let- ters are not only a reflection on you ah an officer, but 1t reflects on my admin istration and you cannot. in justice to yourself, let anyone say you have a territory assigned to you in this coun- ty and you have not the ability to catch the violators of the law.

 "I know each deputy has friends in his territory who believe in the en- sorcement of the laws and if you call them to your aid. they can and will assist you in getting evidence to con Vict.

Negro Is Believed to Be AssalIant of
 Girl.
 Quitman, Miss, Nov. 30.--(Special.)- This morning Justice of the Peace W. U. Noteworthy and Deputy J. M. Shep- erd brought into Quitman from Thead- vile, negro answering to the de- scrlption of Will Mack, the negro who a few weeks ago assaulted a 14-year-old girl at Pelehatchie.
 If not Will Mack, the negro Is prob ably wanted in some other part of the State. He told conflicting stories about himself and says he Is from Mo- bile, but this the authorities do not believe.
 The negro seems very much excited, and says he does not know where Pele- hatchie is. He stated that he was never in this State before. but later admitted that he had been in the State several times before. Ke will not give any place that he has been in the State.
 This negro's face has been scratched with finger nails, and the wounds look to be about two weeks old. He had a pistol shot wound that looked to be about six weeks old on his left hip. He first said this was not @ pistol shot but later admitted it was, and said he got 1t in a crap game, and later still contradicted this statement and said 1t wN1s of another origin.
 The authorities believe they have the right man. The negro gave his name as Henry Williams. The authorities at Pelehatchie have been informed of his capture.

 While some of the men were excused. the Chief of Police and the former Chief were required to remain on duty. though it Is not probable that both will be used in the same juries, if at all. during the week.
 An interesting incident in the erim- final court today was one juror becom- ing somewhat intoxicated between the time that he was accepted for jury duty and court reassembling in the af- ternoon.
 Considerable trouble was manifested in getting the necessary juries together in the courts. a second venlre being called.

ant. Woodland Mills. where the traE- edy took place, Is about twenty light miles southeast of Decatur. and about fifteen miles almost due east of Hart selle. It is located near Cotaco Creek in the neighborhood of Valhermoosa Springs Hartselle Is the nearest rail- road station. Woodland Mills has no direct telephone connections with De- catur and is one of the most difficult places in this part of the State to reach. The country surrounding Woodland Mills is exceedingly rough, as it lies among the foothills of the Cumberland range of mountains and the roads are rough and steep in many places.
 The indications are now that the mystery of the Edmondson tragedy will never be cleared unless a reward from the Governor brings the guilty parties to Justice.
 Since the tragedy the Edmondson farm has been visited by a number of people from this portion of the State and many relics of the crime have been carrier off by curious persons.

If you like crisp, faky doughnuts. richly Drowned, and yet with not a sus- picion of greasiness, try the following recipe by Mrs Mary J. Lincoln:
 Beat one cup sugar and two eggs very light, add one teaspoon melted Cottolene one cup sour milk, and one-fourth level teaspoon each of cinnamon and salt. Mix one-half level teaspoon soda and ono scant teaspoon of baking powder with one cup four stir 1t in and add more flour till stiff enough to roll out. Have as soft as pos sible to roll. one-third inch thick. Cut into rings and cook In hot, deep Cottolena The fat should Dc hot enough for the dough to rise to the top immediately.
 Doughnuts fried in lard lie like lead on the stomach; lard is indigestible. Cottolene, on the contrary, makes food that even an infant can digest with ease.
