Cullman, City Under Census,
 Contains One Transient Negro

not be proper for him to comment on it. If however, any city in the State of a poulation which approaches that of Cullman can show a less ratio Of colored population. the thrifty Germans of Cullman challenge that city to come forth.
 The fact is and always has been. that the citizens of Cullman composed mostly of the ITeutonic race. in their rugged ideas of work unceasing and unflagging, are reported to have sworn that they would not brook the appear ance of any negroes whatever in their midst. This unwritten law seems to have been religiously adhered to in the last few years Visitors in and out of the city have frequently commented on the striking absence of Afro Americans from the little city of grape. wine and strawberry industry.
 Whether 1t is a legend or not, there was a rumor that once upon a time that the inimitable and good-natured Al Field. when he thought of including Cullman in his bookings, was informed that he was perfectly welcome but that there would have to be some other color scheme than black. So Al Field went not to Cullman. Others aver that the reason Mir. Field and his minstrels did not go was that they did not want to.
 Just how the lone negro crept into Cullman and got to be put down by Census -taker George W. Hanlin as member of the population of Cullman is not known. The belief was express ed at the Capitol yesterday that he was in Cullman by accident when the enumeration took place and that he will occupy his lonesome stand for only a brief spell. Be that as it may, the enumeration of Cullman in February shows a population of 2.070 whites ana one black

 Giuseppe paused about midway be- tween the door and the table, keeping just outside the shaft of light, and Drako stole stealthily up to his side. He whispered a word in hts ear and pointed first at the remains or the rood and then toward the bed.
 Giuseppe nodded and drew his knite and stepped noiselessly round the ta- ble to approach the bed Drako re- mained still a moment and then as 1T his courage was falling, retreated couple of paces toward the door keep ing his eyes fixed intently upon. his companion.

I crept up behind him and fired a shot close to his ear, at the same time striking him with my left fist on the side of the head. so that he should think the bull let had hit him.
 He let out a loud yell of terror and rushed out of the room. I locked the door and then turned on Giuseppe, who was standing full in the moonlight. grim picture of disconcerted fury.

CHAPTER xXVI. The Confession.

The spot which I had chosen was some few feet behind the door, SO that when Giuseppe And Drako entered, their backs were toward me. I was crouched against the wall by the side of a tall wooden settle, which would have prevented them from seeing me had they looked round.
 But they had no suspicion that I was not on the bed. This stood against the wall opposite the door, with the table between them and 1t. The wide shaft of brilliant moonlight streamed full on the table, on which were the re- mains of the meal had recently made; and as the bed was in the shadow. the light hindered rather than aided them, because 1t deepened the gloom over the he'd and rendered it the more dificult

given up to dress goods, and the next
to colored and white wash goods. At
the corner of what you might almost
call a plaza is the Hamburger depart
ment for cleaning and dyeing, in the
glass cases of which are seen proofs OF
the mechanics skill in this section.
Near this plaza, on which, as in all
we'll regulated cities, is located the post
office, express and telegraph offices, Is
also the fashion center not only OF
Hamburger's, but of the Pacific coast.
Here is Hamburger's fashion depart
ment; here is where women of Califor-
which they make up the garments to
their own Joy and the envy of their
neighbors.
Housekeepers' FaIryTand
You now step across to the blanket
and bedding departments and find your
self at the corner entrance marking the
intersection of Hill and Eighth streets.
Leading south from this point is the
aisle which has the name of "house-
keepers fairyland." Here shine and
glisten linens of every description.
Passing the Hill street entrance,
which is directly opposite the one
through which we entered on Broad
way, and so-crossing Silktown-you
find yourself in the department of
trunks, sachels and suit cases, one of
which you almost feel might be a ne
cessity on the trip now ahead of US.
Along this line in the very next Sec
tion you could purchase most any kind
of stationery or fancy papetrie to
write to your friends back home;
while to the right are racks upon racks
and table after table full of all kinds
of literature, so If you should encoun-
ter a quiet nook in this beehive you
would wish to entertain yourself in
that way.

no lack Of features to prove of interest.

Adjoining this section are the aisles
given over to knit underwear of Isle,
wool and silk, hosiery for mother and
the little tots, and gloves for woman
folk and for all occasions.
This brings you back to the inter-
section of those two magnificent shop
ping highways, each thirty-two feet
wide, between perpendicular columns,

Here is apparently just one little peep
hole through which you can observe
and study the mighty engine keeping
this plant in motion, the fuel Of which

thousands of pairs of bands.
Turning to the right and passing the
gravity package carrier which silently
and obediently, with its ten hungry
maws and with the greatest of tact,
swallows all sorts of parcels and mer-
chandise only to deliver them up in
unharmed condition into the delivery
and packing room in the basement
from all the floors, and passing another
battery of three elevators surging up
and down continuously, now delivering,
now embracing their precious loads,
you stand with admiration at the COR
ner of one of the most complete mems
outf1tting stores in the United States.
Big Furnishing Section
The $4,000 square feet included in
this mems section embrace a tailor
shop and magnificent mems clothing
department, handling everything from
corduroy trousers and workmen's over

Here you find a furnishing depart

as for the laborer; a hat department
catering to the wants of every man
from porter to autoist; a full-hedged

Hamburger store, q monument as peau-
tiful and powerful as the admirable
spirit of enterprise and steadfastness
which gave birth to the idea OF It's
erection and completed it during the
troublous years of 1906, 1907 and l9US
in the face of trade depression and dls-
couraged finances.
Abraham Hamburger, the father ana
founder of the business, started at the
bottom of the ladder, and MS sons

burger, also are self-made men in the
truest sense of the word.
The building glistens in the wnlte
brightness of embossed glazed tile from
curb to coping. 1t has snow WlnooW
frontage of 800 feet. The windows
themselves, even aside from the worth
of merchandise shown, form a strong
attraction, containing as they DO an
art gallery of the most beautiful Cali
fornia scenes and favorite spots.
Entering the building through the
massive main entrance IN the center
of the Broadway front, whose archway
rises twenty-six feet above the paving,
the customer is in a cross aisle fun
block in length and thirty-two feet De-

Big Adjoining Subdivision
Across the aisle is another subdivi-
sion of this vast emporium, with some
thing like 1000 square feet containing
the drug and perfumery departments;
the florist shop, where all kinds of
flowers and floral pieces may be OBJ
tanned; as also embroideries, handker-
chiefs and laces. Passing an attractive
display of embroidered gowns on figures
you come next to the candy depart
ment and a soda fountain of sixty feet
frontage so built that the entire
manipulation of extracts and waters Is
entirely exposed to the view of the
public, it's sparkling cleanliness being
q source of wonder as well as pleasure.
Beside this department is one contain

are three, but the full complement in
the building contains over dozen.

central boulevard, which is so feet
