AROUSED BY
ASSASSINATION
Tragedy of Early Sunday
Morning Hours Causes
Wave of Indignation to
Sweep Over Birmingham
District-Assassins Fired
Into Passing Train.
Special TO The Journal.


Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 19.-Ihe as
sassination of three men Sunday
morning at BIoctOn and the injury OF
eleven others has caused storm OF
indignation TO sweep over the city ana
criticism has not been wanting that
those in authority have not been urn
enough in handling the situation On
the other nand there are those VINO
contend that such an outrage could
not have been prevented In otheF
words, If a group of men had MADE up
their minds to commit such an act
10 fire from ambush upon train IN
darkness-nOthing could have been
done in anticipation of such a deed
and consequently it was an UMPIRE
ventable horror.
But there is every indication that
the feeling that there is not being
done what could be done to maintain
order, viii result within the next day
Or two in a monster maSslm Meeting, at
which some plain talking will be done
and some demands made for genu-
inc display of backbone on the part
OF somebody. II is becoming more and
more apparent to the public mind that
perhaps these oUtrages are winked at,
If not inspired. by some one nigh In
the councils of the striking miners
for holding the leaders, in a measure
at least responsible.
Weapons Not Loaded.
Captain Walden, of UniontOwn, was
in charge of the company which was
accompanying the stTikebFeakers to
BIoCton last night, and some criticism
is made today of the fact that none
of the men had their weapons loaded
when the attack was made upon them.
This, however. Is considered not %
have amounted TO anything in this
case. The train was fired upon while
going at d fairly high rate of speed,
so that by the time the men could
have been lined up and ordered to
fire they were far beyond the point
where the attack was made
Rare Presence of Mind
Rare presence of mind appears to
nave been shown by the commanding
officer. for when the first shot rang
out the order was Immediately given
for all men to fall TO the floor. This
action. it is thought, saved many OF
their lives. for no less than 100 shots
were fired directly into the windows
from the bank Of the cut through
which the train was moving.
The BrewtOn company was sent
down 10 BlOCtOn yesterday morning to

guard duty and making the arrests
which. it was felt. were certain to be
made in large numbers following the
outrage.
The Brewton men showed them
selves to be exCellently drilled. At
one point near BlOctOn the train ran
over two tOTpedOes. NO sooner did
the explosion occur than the order
was given and a gun was prOtruding
from every window Of the train, and
with bodies carefully concealed, the
boys waited for further orders II was
the only exciting Incident of the trip.
Governor Conner returned before 10
o'clock last night and gave instruc

1t is inferred that he viii not issue

received 1915 per barrel. Mr.. Shaw
en- had just FIVE hundred bushels Of
this variety, which he produced on
80 trees, or an average of 10 bushels
per tree, and the trees are only 10
years old. He sprayed them once,
Dingfelter wrote him that he could
handle any quantity of the grade al
the same price. While Mr.. Shaweu
left his apples on the trees later than
most persons, he is of the opinion he
picked them too early. he left two
trees stand for two weeks after the
rest were picked and these sold at the
enormous price of $5 so per barrel
He sold his Ben Davis apples at 1915

brought. Mr.. Shawen is one of thu

I am standing at the parting OF the
ways. I am pausing at the close OF a
chapter in my life and msditating be-
fore 1 shall begin new one. 10 me,
it means great deal; to you, poSsl'
bly, more. To you, it is an issue; to
me. pause. The path Of life, hither'
to, has to me in measure been bereft
of that comfort which you have enjoy.
ed from her steadying hand. Hereto
fore, we have enjoyed the blessed as
surance of a mothers continuous pray
er; now, we have as an inspiration her
triumphant life. Heretofore, we have
felt the restraining influence OF her
precepts; now, there is lett to US the
uplifting influence of her blessed ex-
ample. Hitherto, we have experienced
the joys of her conscious presence ;
now, we cherish her loving memory.
Oh what precious thoughts come to
us as we review the sacred past, and
what encouraging and inspiring hopes
ell our breasts as we look through the
mists into the future There seems to
envelope us halo Of motherly inHu'
ence which is almost divine. And is
it not divine2 Divinely sent and d.
vinely appliedf Who can estimate
mother infuence2 The answer comes,
None but He who has instituted such
relations. We have a Heavenly Faith
er; but the nearest we can get to a
Heavenly mother is Christ himself.
Oh, what love He has expressed In
his nature and life How he died for
us that we might never experience
death. How be stands between us
and the Father and ever makes in
tercession for us. Oh, how near the
true mother love approaches His !
How often she has stood between us
and the mercy-seat and demanded for
us blessingl How often has she
pleaded our case until the breaking of
the day And now. as the day has
broken for her, it has cast glow up
on our pathway, which reveals to us
the love and influence which few OF
earth's children are privileged to
know. What endless gratitude should
reveal itself in our subsequent lives as
the blessed and inspiring visions be-
come more real to us
1.-THE holy song has died away,
But still it vibrates through our
hearts;
And we return, though fain to stay;
Each to his family departs.

Eat all the good food you like. Quit

dyspepsia or indigestion that way, but
rather you must add strength to the

will digest the food which the stomach
can not digest. Kodol is the only thing
known today that will do this. for Kodol

Unconquerable.

1t was a veteran soldiery that re-
peopled the plantations and the home
steads of the South, writes Thomas
Nelson Page in "The Old Dominion,
and withstood the forces thrown
against them during the period of re-
construction. In addition to personal
pride, self-reliance and physical cour-
age, they possessed also race pride,
which is inestimable in great popu.
lar struggle.
However beaten and broken they
were, the people came out Of the war
with their spirit unquenched and a
belief that they were unconquerabls.
A story used to be told Of an old
Confederate soldier who was trudging
home, after the war, broken and rag
ged and worn. He was asked whs'
he would do if the Yankees got after
him again when he reached home.
"Oh, they amt goin' to trouble
